A very toxic relationship but in a consensual way? Definitely subscribed to that toxic masculinity mindset but I still found the relationship somewhat interesting.

BookTok made me read it and left me disappointed. DNF 62%. The main problem I had with this book was the fighting, they fight just to fight, and over stupid 💩 too. Being in your mid twenties and acting like that, childish and juvenile was off putting to say the least. Also it didn’t much focus on motorcross which I was looking forward to reading.

My boys!! God this was a insanely good book. Maddox and Devon are the most chaotic characters. They're the products of their environments but still full of love not that they really know that. Maddox Kane my boy!!! He would literally do anything for Devon and kinda does for real. Devon is surprisingly insecure. He even knows he might be a bigger asshole than Maddox but he can't let him go. Xavi and Nate are ridiculous best friends and older brothers. Esp Xavi they do tend to read more as best friends than siblings to Maddox and Devon but not in a bad way. I'm super excited to see where this duology goes bc im already so attached to this idiots.

4 out of 5 ☆’s.

”I didn't know what to do with my hands. I wanted to pull him closer, but these fists had never been good for anything but punching him.”

This was a quick and enjoyable read! :)

I like that Maddox and Devon were actual enemies throughout the book (it’s a bookish pet peeve of mine when books are marketed as containing the “enemies to lovers” trope and don’t deliver on the “enemies” aspect of things) and I liked seeing their relationship develop as the story continued! 

I do wish that we got some more motocross scenes, though.

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I hope that Nate and Xavi get a story in the future! ♡
