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

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! ♡
