4.5/5 stars

What a high speed, quick moving, instantly lovable romance story 😍 Ryah and Xavier delivered!! They both have pasts that were following them throughout this story and it was only a matter of time before everything came to a head. I love Xavier. Literally the perfect MMC. He’s straightforward, loyal, and committed and I loved how he was determined to get ryah to start living life again despite what had happened in her past. I loved the thrill and mystery tied into these pages and after after these characters have been through/all the dark times, there’s no one that deserves a happier ending more than these two. Ryah is such a sweet and genuine FMC that’s so easy to relate to. And the way they burned for each other?! Yep, this is a must read yall.

Fast moving romance with a lot going on - some serious topics including stalking, assault, domestic violence, and academic harassment weave through a story of two people with more than their share of baggage when cupid's arrow strikes. Some tense moments!

Hace ocho años, Xavier ejecutó un plan para exponer a su padre abusivo, arriesgando su libertad y su futuro. Hoy en día, ha reconstruido su vida como piloto de rally, ocultando su historia y evitando cualquier vínculo emocional que pueda exponer sus secretos. Ryah, por su parte, lucha cada día contra el miedo constante generado por un acosador invisible que ha afectado su salud mental, su confianza y su capacidad para vivir plenamente.

El destino los une cuando Xavier presencia cómo Ryah es atropellada por un ciclista. A partir de ese momento, su conexión es inmediata, inesperada y profundamente emotiva. Xavier se convierte en el refugio que Ryah no sabía que necesitaba, mientras que ella comienza a ablandar las capas de dureza que él ha construido durante años.

Era obvio quien era el acosador.
