“To the art around us, and the art within us”
Rating: 💫✨💫.5
Smut: 🌶️
This is one of the first (if not the first?) motorcycle romances I’ve read and I’m definitely looking forward to reading more in the future🥵
This was a fun read that I didn’t want to put down! I absolutely adored the anxiety & overthinking representation we got from Violet’s character.
The talk of art, its place in Violet’s world & what it brings to Gage’s world was also really well done.
I loved how witty the FMC was and at times, found myself thinking some passages were superrr cheesy. Right when I would think that, the FMC would mention how cheesy or cliché it was and I found that so endearing and funny.
I wasn’t as keen about the timeline of the story as things felt kind of rushed & not as developed as they could have been. However, that’s more of a me problem as I’m not a huge fan of instalove vibes and will always prefer slow burn when I like the characters.
I also would have loved to read more of Gage’s point of view & the torque & power boys!
Overall, I’m hoping there will be more books in this series as I’m excited to see where this author will take the rest of the characters in Two Pines.
Thank you K.T. Bolt for trusting me with your work and sending me this arc!!

This was a fun read with great anxiety representation and a relatable FMC.
The relationship between the main characters had its ups and downs, but I found myself rooting for them every step of the way. I think it could have been a little bit longer to give us more of their relationship.
It features a very suave, tattooed and kind MMC that is just delicious.
The writing was well crafted, with scene descriptions making it feel so immersive.
There was a bit of spice sprinkled throughout and moments where I just had to keep reading to find out what happens next. The ending felt a bit rushed, and I wanted more build up, but it was still good.
There were funny, sweet and heartwarming moments that made this an enjoyable book!
Check it out!

I was an ARC reader for this book and my opinions are my own.
I rate this book a 3.5⭐️ and 1🌶️.
For me, this was a comfort read, with a little bit of spice.
Some parts of the book were a bit slow for my liking with a lot of description about the surroundings - which I don’t think added much value - and other parts where more rushed where I would have loved more details (e.g., about his line of work).
I liked the story and the characters.
Can we get book 2 about one of her friends and spice things up? 😉 I volunteer as a tribute as a beta reader ☝🏻
