“You’re going to be the death of me, Coop.”
He says it so affectionately, my heart flip-flops again in my chest that way it does around him.
The third book in Nicole Dykes’ On the Track series was a sweet friends to lovers romance with some great grumpy / sunshine vibes!
I adored Cooper, he was such a sunshine, and it was hard not to smile with him around. Maverick was a little more grumpy and stand off-ish, but he definitely had a soft side when it came to Cooper, and he was the kind of character that grew on me.
The friends to lovers trope was cute here – I loved the way Maverick would find excuses to touch and cuddle with Cooper. They were both quite touchy-feely with each other and it was really sweet to read, even if my heart hurt a little for Cooper at first, when he thought he was crushing on his straight friend…
The Pro vs the Fan was overall a sweet and cute read with adorable characters and pets! Cooper and Maverick were great together, and even if they had some ups and downs, the story was still low angst and pretty straightforward. I loved seeing some familiar characters again and being back with this little racing family.
“Friends who kiss?” Axel releases me, his tone dripping with cocky confidence. “Yeah. We did that for a little while.”
