When motocross superstar Jesse Hensen needs a ride across the country, a beautiful stranger offers him the perfect solution.
One wrong turn later, they find themselves stranded in a tourist town during the busiest holiday weekend of the year. All they can do is try to make the best of the situation. Even if that means sharing the last available bed in town.
No big deal. Right?
Wrong.
Soon, sparks fly as emotions bubble over. Jesse is used to winning, and suddenly, Piper’s heart is the ultimate prize. There’s just one small problem. The closer they get to the finish line, the harder saying goodbye becomes.
Too bad this love affair was never meant to last forever.

This is my second Mica Rae book and I can’t wait for more from this series! I thought the story was great!
Jesse, our motocross pro, is injured in a bike crash and needs a lift to a major race he has to attend a few states away. Piper is headed back to her parent’s house, so her cousin asks for a favor. Little do either of them know, this will turn out to be more than just two strangers in a car for days.
I loved Jesse. He was so sweet, even though he put his foot in his mouth a few times. He was your classic bad boy who could have any woman, but Piper is so much more than his usual flings.
I can definitely relate to Piper. Never being anyone’s first choice was my life growing up and it was nice to be able to connect with a character dealing with the same thing. She was so resilient and I’m happy she got her HEA!
I recommend this book as a nice pallet cleanser. There are some deep topics in this book, but it’s so feel good, it really balances out well!
Jesse Hensen is a motocross superstar working for Titan Racing. After a serious accident he isn't cleared to fly but needs a ride cross country. Titan's HR manager who's her cousin, talks her into giving him a ride since she is already going that way.
Piper is on her way to her parents house to live after her boyfriend broke up with her. She needs some time to recoup and get back on her feet. The last thing she wants is to take Jesse with her.
She finally gives in but it doesn't start off very well. They both have their hang ups but slowly find it hard to resist the attraction growing between them. Communication is still hard for both of them and until they can figure that out, they go their separate ways. Only time will tell.
This is one of my favorite reads recently! Piper is a curvy girl who is normally confident in herself. After earning her degree, she has to head cross country to her hometown. Her college boyfriend ends things due to going long distance so, Piper has some feelings about where she is at in life. Cue her cousin asking Piper to take in a passenger while she drives cross country. It’s a motocross legend, Jesse Hensen. Jesse was in a bad accident and needs to let his eyes heal. He begrudgingly accepts the ride his motocross team set up. Jesse has a knack for sticking his foot in his mouth but is otherwise the perfect book boyfriend. The pair ends up on some adventures on the way and go from travel companions to more. You won’t be able to put this book down!
I had the pleasure of receiving an Advanced Reader Copy of Racing into Forever. It’s like Christmas every time I get to read a book by Mica Rae.
When Jesse Hensen gets hurt, and needs transport across country, Piper serendipitously gets roped into a road trip that would change both of their perspectives on love and romance. Will romance blossom even when neither believes the other is “their type”, or will this road trip end in heartbreak for the two?
Along the way, you’ll meet up with some friends from previous novels by Mica Rae. They become so real to me and I’m glad to get an update on their lives. Mix this unique quality of her writing with passion, romance, and real-life problems, and you’ve got an amazing story!
Mica does it again! LOTS of spice in this heated romance. Piper and Jesse are a dynamic duo him being the king of motorcross and her fresh out of college. She’s forced to take him with her across the country to Oregon where she plans on recuperating from a crappy break up. Sparks fly in the tiny suv as they go on some pretty sexy epic adventures.
My favorite quote : Even if for just a few moments, this pause allows the fabric of my heart to stitch together with his. How will I ever walk away from him?
I loved how mica brought back some old characters as well and left us with a tease of a new blossoming romance with two new characters! I highly recommend all of micas books ❤️💋🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I loved this story and everything about Jesse and Piper. I laughed, I cried and I yelled at the book. Couldn’t put it down. Good spice too.
Jesse is a motocross racer and just had an accident and can’t fly, so needs a ride across the country. Piper just broke up with her boyfriend and just happens to be going to the same place. Her cousin, who is his manager, asks her if she can bring him as a favor.
They do not immediately hit it off, but they both try to make the best of the situation. Jesse starts feeling things he hasn’t in years, but Piper won’t let him in after being burned.
Racing Into Forever is a very sweet and fun story! What you get......
♡He Falls First ♡Motocross Hero ♡Prince Albert ♡Road Trip ♡One Bed ♡Forced Proximity ♡Lots of Spice
Jesse and Piper's story is so cute!! They have amazing chemistry, and I loved reading about their adventures on their road trip. I can't wait to read more!
I’m busy planting a wedding so reading for the last several weeks hasn’t been a priority. Only when Mica releases a book I drop what I’m doing to read it. I couldn’t put it down. I read it in one sitting. I’m excited for the next one too. This is even better than what I’ve come to expect from her. A must read.
Racing into Forever is my first motocross romance. I really enjoyed it! Jesse and Piper are wrangled into a road trip together that seems too fated to to a coincidence. I loved getting to know some of the Titan family characters and can't wait for the next installment.
This was a very sweet and funny read!!! Jesse and Piper are two strangers that share a ride together and end up having an adventurous time if not kinky time. Loved it!!!
I love Mica’s writing!!! This a very sweet and fun story. Piper is fresh out of college with her Masters. She gets dumped by her boy and decides to go back home with her parents. Jesse is a motocross celebrity fresh out a serious injury. He can’t fly so he gets a ride with Piper. And what a ride it is!! They have an awesome time together, they enjoy little things and they enjoy each other’s company. They fall in love stranded in a little town. And it is soooo cute!!! They have amazing friend and support system!! Tks Mica!!! 👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰
He’s a star motocross racer and she’s his ride to Oregon. She knows she’s not his type but he thinks differently. And a trip across the country might just help him convince her of that. Or it might not. I enjoyed this quick read and want to read more about Jesse and Piper.
OMG !! What an emotional rollercoaster that sucks you right in from the very first page and does not let go . So I started reading Racing Into Forever late night night and did not finish reading until around 5.30 am this morning, to say I dld not get any sleep would without a doubt be an understatement . But Oh was it worth every ounce of sleep I lost. . Even if I am dead on my feet at the moment 🤣. Jesse and Piper . There just are not any words to express how much I simply adored these two together. Both have been through some emotional and physical hard times . Jesse who is a Motocross Racer and at the top of his game suffers a terrible accident that affects his life in so many ways . And Piper has just suffered through a heart wrenching break up . Without giving anything away im just going to say that fate and circumstances bring these two together and from that moment on everything changes . Wow I really was not expecting to feel so many different emotions while reading, everything from being utterly speechless, to yelling outta pure frustration. Your heart will feel like it’s beating so fast and then bam belng crushed with tears streaming down your eyes, you’ll smile , you’ll laugh , you’ll be glued to the edge of your seat anticipating what will happen from one second to the next . And you’ll find yourself rooting so freaking hard . As per usual Mica not only exceeded all my expectations once again, but nailed it and delivered another unforgettable and unputdownable love story with all the feels , and some of the most wonderfully written characters you’ll ever meet .
This was a funny and very entertaining book with plenty of spicy encounters and some tender moments. A cross country, multi-day road trip with a stranger turns into something neither Jesse or Piper could have expected. After getting off on the wrong foot and some misunderstandings, they call a truce. Their road trip includes unexpected detours, hiccups and mishaps. These two are forced to communicate with each other and change plans on a moments notice. Forced proximity leads to a change in perception and then some pretty steamy moments that neither want to end or to forget.
Jesse is a motocross superstar and adrenaline junkie who doesn’t have time for a relationship and prefers to keep things casual. He needs a ride since an injury has left him unable to fly or drive himself. Piper is fresh out of college and a relationship with her boyfriend, so she is feeling rather raw emotionally. She is on her way home to live with her parents until she can find a job and get up on her feet financially. Her cousin convinced her to take Jesse along for the ride, with his team paying the expenses. Neither expected to feel such a connection or the hot chemistry between them. Giving into their attraction is unexpected. They are not looking for forever, right? Then why does the thought of leaving each other at the end of their road trip seem so hard and so wrong?
This is a book I will happily recommend to all those who love romance.
- Motocross romance - Close proximity - He falls first - Only one bed - Opposites attract
I adore a good "fate brings people together" type of book. I love that these two, Jesse, a healing motocross racert and Piper, an unemployed college graduate, would probably never meet normally. But Piper's cousin asks her to do a favor for her and drive Jesse to Oregon for a motocross event. Jesse had injured his eye during a race and isn't able to fly to the event. Begrudgingly, Piper agrees. She is dealing with a lot of feelings after her long time boyfriend ends their relationship (and immediately gets engaged to another woman!). She is also having to move home to live with her parents because she can't find a job in Dallas. So she is feeling pretty low. When Jesse makes a comment, she takes it as an insult and the trip begins off very tense.
Jesse is incredibly attracted to the curvy Piper. He can't seem to say the right things around her and is constantly saying things she takes out of context. He tries to make it up to her by suggesting they detour to sightsee the London Bridge. This proves to be a bit more of a detour than either expected when they encounter car troubles over the Memorial Day weekend...and the only hotel room left in town only has one bed...
Can their attraction last once their trip is over?
Racing Into Forever was an engaging and addictive book that was such a joy to read. Ms. Rae always seems to deliver a story that will have you unable to put the book down. Her stories are easy to read and she gets your heart beating a little bit faster with the chemistry that happens between her characters. We are given a storyline that sees two strangers, Piper and Jesse, traveling across the country. She is a curvy girl who is moving back home after earning her degree and she is voluntold by her cousin to take Jesse, a motocross legend who is recovering from a crash. The two of them are very different as well from different worlds but there is something that pulls them to each other. The trip is full of flirty innuendoes and Jesse always seems to be putting his foot in his mouth. Forced proximity causes feelings to come to the surface and boy do sparks ignite. I can honestly say that this is one of my favourite books by Ms. Rae. I would highly recommend grabbing Racing Into Forever.
This was a really sweet story of two perfect strangers who meet through a mutual friend. Jesse has just been through a rough patch after having an accident on his dirt bike while racing and his eye was still healing from surgery and he couldn’t fly across the country so Piper’s cousin asked her to drive him from Texas to Oregon after she breaks up with her boyfriend when she moves home from Texas to Oregon to live with her parents until she can find a job. Jesse and Piper are unable to resist their attraction to each other when Piper’s car breaks down, which causes them to question their feelings and the chance of their happiness together, which thankfully leads to their happily ever after.
I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.
Racing Into Forever by Mica Rae is a spicy motocross racing romance. This is a short and quick read, but is full of spicy scenes and plenty of drama.
Jesse is a motocross racer at the top of his game, until an accident causes an injury that prevents him from flying. His HR Manager at Titan Racing just happens to have a cousin that is driving from Texas to Oregon and arranges for him to ride along. Piper is reeling from a devastating break up with her boyfriend and is not happy that she has a ride along passenger. As she spends more time with Jesse, she can't help for falling for the ruggedly handsome and thoughtful motocross star.
I really enjoyed this introduction into the motocross world and look forward to reading more stories in this world. I love how the author also drops a plug for her other books within this one. Genius way to make us want to read more of her books!
I loved Piper and Jesse's story. After Jesse is injured in a motocross race, he is set up with Piper to drive across country. They both have baggage and want nothing to do with each other at the start, but after they get car trouble and have to stay put in one place for a few days and with only one bed to share, things heat up and before long, they find that they have more than just compatibility in bed. They grow closer, but know that there is an expiry date as they live in two different places. There are lots of delicious steamy moments and lovely times of them truly opening up to each other. there is some heartbreak and self-reflection and luckily, a HEA. I loved the spice and the banter they had with each other and the ending was great. Sexy, grumpy motocross racer - yes please! I am excited for book 2 in the series
Racing into Forever is a well-written story where he falls first and has to show her that he values her. She suffers from shallow confidence, especially after a sudden and bad break-up.
After a bad accident on the track, motocross star Jesse needs a ride across the state to attend an event. In steps, his co-workers, cousin who is moving back home and driving. Piper is a curvy girl, and while she is happy with her body, her ex-boyfriend has wreaked havoc on her confidence.
Piper assumes that, with someone of Jesse's star appeal and the women that she had seen him with publicly, there was no way that he would find her attractive. She expects this time driving to be no fun.
There is something about Piper that Jesse is attracted to. She is so different from the girls he hangs around. Yet, he seems to have a foot-in-mouth disease around her.
Can he get his act together to show Piper he is very interested in learning more about her?
It’s pretty much lust-based. And I wasn’t a big fan of either character. Piper claims to have good self-esteem but everything Jesse did or every comment she heard had her assuming the worst and thinking poorly of herself.
And then the little memory ditty for Henry VIII’s wives was wrong. Catherine, his first wife, was the one he divorced as this is the reason England broke from the Catholic Church. So the ditty is “divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.” It doesn’t start with “beheaded” like the story claims.
And finally, not sure why this book claims to be a motocross story as other than the beginning, it doesn’t feature motocross at all. It references the company and events but there’s no racing or anything other than the prologue.
Excuse me MICA but thank you for another amazing story to fall in love with! and the fact you always give me previous characters to give me a nostalgic feelings i absolutely love!
Jesse is a motocross racer and he needs a ride so that's how he ends up crossing paths with Piper who is headed in the same direction as him. She's also coming out of a pretty crappy break up and isn't to fawn on taking Jesse with her but she does. Along the way these two have some chemistry and adventures they just can't deny one another. This book was defiantly something I needed! I loved Jesse and Piper! Did I mentioned I devoured this book once I started I just couldn't put it down!
Make room on your book boyfriend list. Literally read it in a few hours. I couldn't put it down. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Super cute and romantic while still being incredibly spicy. Piper is an inspiring FMC that shows what it can truly be like as a plus size woman in terms of confidence and how we view ourselves even when other people aren't so nice. Jesse is everything book boyfriends are made of. While his development is subtle its clear he's a bad boy commitment-phobe until he's forced into spending time with Piper, who's nothing he ever thought he'd want. If you like bad boys finding their gooey centers and plus sized FMC rep done right, this is the one for you!
Jesse is Titan superstar as their number one racer, than he gets injured and needs a ride to a event in a couple of states over. Piper is moving back to her parent's house when she gets a call from her cousin asking for a favor. She isn’t looking forward to the company especially when Jesse keeps opening his mouth at the wrong time plus she’s dealing with some personal issues, and both found each other fighting their attraction. Their chemistry you can tell from the start and their journey is incredibly written. But even through everything can they find their HEA before they reach their final destination? I would recommend you read to found out.
Piper felt like a failure. Getting dumped by her boyfriend and then finding out that she was a side piece. She knew that she was a curvy girl and she was not everyone's cup of tea. Then on top of that she had to move back home to live with her parents.
Jesse had a big accident. He almost lost his eyesight. He couldn't fly, couldn't drive so he had to find someone to take him to Oregon. He gets a ride with Piper.
While driving things happens, feelings happen. Can they overcome a lot of misconceptions and communication issues.. Great story.
A trophy vs a prize. Piper is the prize, not the trophy. A grumpy road trip companion, great what could go wrong in London Town? A sweet and endearing story of Piper and Jesse, at a crossroads and afraid to act on what they are feeling. I loved their journey and this story. I bought the magnet!
This is the first time I have read this author and I am so happy I did. I haven't read to many new authors as of late, and sticking with the ones I know. I am so glad I picked this one up. I loved Jesse and Piper. They just had this feel to them and I wanted so much from them. I got it. I will be looking into more of this authors books in the future for sure.
This is exactly what I expected from this author. A road trip with two strangers makes for a fun wild adventure. Two souls who have baggage they need to unload before they are ready to take a chance at love. I can’t wait to read all the books coming in this series.
I absolutely loved Jesse and Piper's story. They brought out the absolutely best in each other. It's so great to see big girls represented in such authentic way. Piper is unapologetic about her curves and Jesse loves every one of them.
Mica Rae is quickly becoming a one click author for me.
Loved this book and couldn’t put it down. The connection Piper and Jesse had since the beginning that they both denied. They drove from Dallas to Oregon and ended up falling in love on the way. Would their responses tear them apart or are they both ready to move on. Such a good story!
