Pine Valley College #5
Sharing Hearts
Pine Valley is a school that’s rich in both history and legacy, and it’s once more opening its doors to another year of students.
Mackie Draper has wanted to be a race car driver since he first saw Noah Fletcher compete when he was a kid. He never expected to become a driver for Noah himself at the prestigious Starfire Racing, nor did he expect to fall in love with his boss, but here he is. Unfortunately, Noah doesn’t feel the same way, and Mackie’s broken heart might not be the only thing lost this season.
Noah Fletcher is a champion, with more wins under his belt than any other driver. Now, he’s the owner of Starfire Racing, and the only thing he wants is to lead his team to victory. He never expected the complication of a young driver, Mackie, nor how it would feel when he realizes Mackie might have given up on both him and Starfire.
Conan White is no stranger to tragedy. Having lost his partner when he was young, he promised he would never take life for granted again, but a chance encounter with an up-and-coming race team in Pine Valley reminds him of this vow. When his past and present collide, Conan does his best to fight for a heart he doesn’t own with one that remains broken.
What happens when love is realized too late?
With more than just winning on the line, it’s time to race toward their future.
Can Mackie, Noah, and Conan survive Pine Valley, or will sharing hearts be all that’s left?

✨️They can call me greedy, but I’m sharing these hearts.✨️
These three were brilliant. I love that Noah was Mackie's first love. I love that Conan was there for Mackie when Noah wasn't. I love that Noah suggested sharing Mackie. I loved that Noah and Conan developed a friendship, so Mackie wasn't constantly on edge being shared by both of them. I just loved them all.
Noah owns the garage where Mackie works and is hiding a secret only his doctor knows about. He says it is to protect those he loves, but when Mackie eventually finds out, he is devastated.
Mackie has loved Noah for as long as he can remember, having had Noahs poster on his bedroom wall. He is always helping others and taking care of them. Whether that is baking them treats or ordering items for them to make their day easier.
Conan is a photographer who was asked to photo Noah's drivers for their promo for an upcoming race. He recognises Mackie as the person who helped him during a hard time in his life, and what starts out as making sure he's ok and whether there was anything Conan could do to pay it back, quickly becomes a great love affair!
And can we just take a minute to appreciate Mackie's grandma!! My favourite side character. The next time someone asks me what I want to be when I'm older, I'm saying Mackie's grandma 🤣
✨️“Don’t glare at me like that, Mackie Draper. I am seventy years old. This is the most excitement I’ve had all week besides poisoning that fuckhead’s flowers next door during the night then cutting his brake lines.”✨️
I had a great time reading about these three, and LOVED the appearance of the previous characters. Skylar makes me laugh every single time. If you're after a new MM read, I definitely recommend this one.
A huge thank you to Katie and her team for this arc.

Something was missing. I think I expected something different from their relationship. Personally, I would have liked to see Conan and Noah become involved both emotionally and sexually, rather than sharing only a friendship with Mackie as their sole connection.
I felt there was potential for much more here. In some ways, Conan could have helped Noah grow and heal, instead of spending more than half the book watching them be jealous of each other or seeing Noah constantly push Mackie away. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how the story felt to me.
Another aspect that left me slightly disappointed was that Conan often seemed relegated to second place. No matter how much the author tried to balance things out toward the end with the intimate photo scene, it still felt insufficient considering how much of the story revolved around Noah and Mackie. They were already secretly in love with each other, after all, and from my perspective, that storyline didn’t need quite so much focus.
This brings me back to my main point: I think the book could have benefited from building a deeper connection between Conan and Noah, while also creating a more intense and meaningful dynamic involving Mackie. There was so much untapped potential there, and I couldn’t help wishing the story had explored it more.

I enjoyed and love all the main characters. It was great to see the old characters return. Skyler is the best and so is grandma. They made this book way more enjoyable. I liked their dynamic but it still would have been better if Conan and Noah formed their own relationship. It doesn’t make sense that they didn’t. In other why choose it makes sense when the men are all about the woman bc they aren’t bi. But it doesn’t make sense here. It was way more Noah and Mackie focused. It was their world and Conan was just living in it. Conan was often left out and it was clear his relationship with Mackie came second in many aspects. The amount of alone time Noah got even though he literally saw him every single day all day at work made his relationship and time with Conan completely unbalanced. Just by how the book went one would assume Conan got his own room which means when Mackie moved in he moved into the master with Noah then only went to conan when he felt he was neglecting him or when Conan wound it up in their room on the random occasion. Mickie often felt guilty with his lack of time and attention on Conan and the reason was obvious but it never changed throughout the book. Conan continued to seem like an after thought. Conan clearly didn’t mind but it took away from the story as a whole.
Did Not Finish
June 29, 2026I won't rate this BUT I am disappointed AF and I decided to DNF it. This was a highly anticipated read for me and now I am sad.
I am 40% into the book and I can already feel how fucked the dynamic will be and how unbalanced, so... I am not gonna waste my time.
What pushed me to DNF the book is Noah. The way I liked him previously vanished when he decided to be a selfish pos. If you decide to share someone, you don't cut into the time those people have together.
Conan deserves better and so much more.
He already started to feel like a second thought and the relationship didn't even started officially... yeah, I won't bother.
I am going to go be angry and sad now. 😭

Easily my favorite so far! Mackie, Conan and Noah are 🔥 🔥. I loved the plot, the banter and every single family member side character. So good!!

I actually fucking hate Noah and can already tell the dynamic won't be balanced between these three. Not gonna bother. The rest of the series is good though.

Noah was annoying, and for once I would've been happier with less sex scenes

KA Knight did it again! The Pine Valley College series is one of my favorites!
I am all for Why Choose so Mackie wanting to share his heart with Noah and Conan is everything! 😍
Noah is conflicted on his feelings for Mackie because he isn't ready to connect with someone emotionally. Mackie has so much love to give so when Conan shows up to take photos of the Starfire Racers and shows attention to Mackie, they hit it off!
Follow their love story while they learn new things about each other and learn how to share their hearts!

Noah tested my patience more times than I can count. The man is confident, protective, and absolutely convinced he knows what’s best for everyone around him. His heart was usually in the right place, but my god, let people make their own choices. The amount of suffering that could have been avoided if he had just communicated honestly had me wanting to shake him.
Mackie was impossible not to love. Sweet, caring, and always seeing the best in people even when they didn’t deserve it. Watching him continue to give Noah chances after having his heart broken over and over was frustrating, but it also felt believable. You could see how deeply he loved. I was happy he found something special with Conan, even if the path getting there was messy.
Conan ended up being my favorite of the three. I spent half the book waiting to discover what he was hiding, expecting something huge, and instead found a man carrying grief, loss, and guilt that never really left him after losing his husband. His connection with Mackie felt genuine from the start, and I loved seeing him slowly open himself up to love again.
And together? These three absolutely worked. The tension built steadily throughout the story, and when everything finally came together, it felt earned. Noah and Conan definitely aren’t best friends, and honestly, they probably never will be, but the fact they put their differences aside for Mackie made their relationship feel more realistic.
This story had me completely invested in these characters and their journey. I laughed, got frustrated, felt every ounce of the tension, and couldn’t stop turning the pages to see how everything would work out. Watching these three navigate grief, heartbreak, healing, and love made the payoff at the end feel so worth it. If you enjoy emotional why choose romances with messy relationships, strong chemistry, and characters who fight hard for their happy ending, add this one to your TBR.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
This book has completely stolen my heart.
Honestly, this being a book by K.A Knight, I shouldn't be surprised that I loved every single second of it, but somehow she still managed to exceed my expectations.
Mackie was such an easy character to root for. His lifelong dream of racing, his loyalty, and the way he loved so wholeheartedly made me fall for him from the very beginning. Watching him navigate his feelings for Noah while chasing his dreams was both heartbreaking and beautiful.
Noah's journey was one of my favourite parts of the book as well. The internal battle he fights with himself, his fears, and his feelings for Mackie felt so real and frustrating in the best possible way. I wanted to shake him at times, but I also understood why he struggled so much because of everything he was going through.
Then there's Conan. My heart absolutely ached for him. The grief he carries and the way he tries to protect his heart while still fighting for something he wants added so much to this for me and added just that little bit more emotion to the story. His past and present colliding created some of the most emotional moments in the book.
What I loved most was how all three of their hearts intertwined with each other but purely because of Mackie :) They each carried their own struggles, heartbreak, and fears, but ultimately came together in a way that felt natural, emotional, and made my heart so frikken happy.
I love that we get to see more racing and so many characters that we know and love while also meeting some new ones and ones that are sassy af hehe
K.A. Knight delivers everything I love in a romance every single time! Emotional depth, complex characters, heartbreak, healing, and a love story worth fighting for. I couldn't put this book down and honestly that doesn't surprise anyone at this point when it comes to K.A Knight
This is such a perfect edition to this series and I can't wait to see where she takes me next :)

This was literally everything and more.
So our mmc's are Mackie, Noah and Conan. These 3 couldn't be any more different but Noah and Conan have one thing in common, they are obsessed with Mackie and everything about him.
Mackie is young, beautiful, carefree but he is extremely stubborn and loyal to a fault. He is sunshine and softness all wrapped up into one beautiful human.
Noah is the older, guarded, protective, hard headed boss who is hiding a massive secret. He owns the garage where Alek, Skylar and Mackie work and he also coaches Mackie and Skylar with their competitive car racing.
Conan is also older but he has such a calming and generous personality. He owns a photography business and was roped in by Evan to help out Mackie and Skylar with some photos. Conan has a somewhat upsetting backstory but once he sees Mackie, he knows he can't not have him.
The plot was so beautiful. Noah and Mackie have history and Noah tries really hard to push Mackie away to "protect" him. Mackie pushes back hard because he has been in love with him forever but when it's evident that Noah doesn't want a bar of him, he realises that he needs to let go and turns to Conan who he really likes. It gets really confusing when Noah finally breaks but Mackie doesn't want to give up Conan. I could go on forever about these 3 but I just don't want to spoil it 😊
Shout out to Mackie's grandma, she is literally the best and I love her spunk so much. I love this world so much and it was nice that everyone make an appearance.
Such a beautiful and wholesome read that really gets you in all the feels.
Thank you Katie and Courtney for the opportunity to read this story and to be a part of your ARC team. I am forever grateful 🙏

Every time K.A. Knight announces a new release, it immediately jumps to the top of my TBR, and Sharing Hearts was no exception. Pine Valley has become one of my favorite comfort series, and getting Mackie’s story felt like finally coming home.
From the very beginning, Mackie completely stole my heart. He’s the kind of character you can’t help but root for—determined, loyal, and willing to pour every piece of himself into the people he loves. Watching him chase both his racing dreams and the people who own his heart had me emotionally invested from page one. ✨
What I love most about K.A. Knight’s writing is her ability to create relationships that feel authentic and deeply emotional. 🖤 The connection between Mackie, Noah, and Conan is layered, messy, heartfelt, and impossible not to become invested in. Each character brings their own struggles, fears, and emotional baggage to the story, making every step of their journey feel earned.
As always, the Pine Valley world feels like coming back to visit family. Seeing familiar faces, catching up with beloved characters, and getting those little glimpses into the lives we’ve already fallen in love with is one of my favorite parts of every new release.

K.A. Knight continues to prove why she’s my favorite author. Her books never fail to pull me in, make me laugh, make me swoon, and leave me thinking about the characters long after I’ve put the book down. Sharing Hearts is another wonderful addition to the Pine Valley series, and I already can’t wait to see where we go next.

ARC REVIEW
Every time I finish reading a book that really resonates with me, I struggle to find the words to encapsulate how I feel. Mackie, Noah, and Conan were given a beautiful love story filled with grief, relationship struggles, the smokiest of slow burns, and of course the spiciest of spiciness. Then there were the side characters - who should absolutely have their own story (and some of them do) - that made the story so much richer. With the banter, unwavering support and loyalty, their eccentric ways, and hilarious advice; it made for an even more entertaining story with a lot of laugh out loud moments that had me cackling like a crazy person at 2 in the morning.
Lastly, the racing element is the backbone of the story. This is my first race car themed story and even though the actual racing aspect took a backseat for the first portion of the book, the amount of detail that went into the scenes painted a good enough of a picture of what was occurring that the anxiety inducing moments actually stressed me out a little and kept me glued to my Kindle.
I loved every single aspect of this book and will absolutely be purchasing it for my permanent collection. Also, I feel the need to highlight my two new favorite side characters, Skylar (who has his own story, Crashing Hearts) and Grandma, for being adorable and unapologetically unhinged.

The Pine Valley series by K.A. Knight has been one of my favorite series that I’ve ever read. Each book has captivated me and has made me fall in love. AND now that I’ve read Sharing Hearts, I can say without a doubt this one is my favorite! From the moment I started reading this book, I knew I was invested. I couldn’t stop reading it. I hated having to put it down. Now that it’s over, all I want is more!
Mackie has wanted to become a race car driver ever since he was a kid, when he watched Noah. Now Mackie works at Starfire Racing under Noah's supervision. With feelings involved, Mackie wants Noah but Noah can’t allow himself to be with Mackie. Noah risks losing Mackie to another company and also another person, Conan. Can they all figure out how to make this work before time runs out?
Mackie has a heart of gold and I truly loved his character so much. He had me smiling, he had me laughing, and he had me crying. He was the whole story and if I was Noah or Conan, I’d definitely be willing to share his heart just to have a part of him. I loved how, as the pages went on, his character really just grew and stood up for himself and the people he loved.
Noah had me internally yelling during a lot of the book but also had me feeling so sad. He wanted nothing but to protect Mackie from heartache and from judgement. His reasoning was so understandable but I was so glad when he finally just let go.
Conan came in and really shook everything up. I truly felt for his character and the push and pull over his late husband. He has been through it but there was just something about Mackie for him and I loved seeing him open up and just love Mackie.
This story is so breathtakingly beautiful. This story is filled with all the emotions, all of the love, and all of the spice! K.A. Knight really just brings out everything with these characters. I love everything K.A. writes and Sharing Hearts is another one added to the list of favorites!

✨ ARC Review ✨
KA Knight proves to me once more why they are one of my top authors! I adore Knights writing, world building and characters so much 😍.
Mackie, Noah & Conan's story felt so fresh and original! I loved how it stood out as an MMM romance but also how that relationship played out. Mackie was definitely central and integral to the relationships forming, but each relationship whether it be Mackie x Noah, Mackie X Conan or even Noah and Conan's friendship was so well done and thought out.
You can FEEL the internal struggle from all three characters, as they form their own polyamorous relationship that works for them and that's such a beautiful thing 🥹. Love comes in all shapes, sizes and forms and this book is the epitome of that 🫶.
Mackie is an absolute sweetheart, pining for his boss Noah, and yet looking to Conan for comfort and falling in love with him along the way 👀.
Conan is a strong, and beautiful character in his own right... He's shut himself away from the world after being hurt irrevocably and yet slowly opens up to his sunshine Mackie 💜.
Lastly, but not least, Noah is a phenomenal and complex character too. Trying to push Mackie away, while also wanting nothing more than him the entire time..
These three characters are beautifully human, flawed and yet so kind, broken in their own ways as they navigate these uncharted waters ... And navigate they do 😈 it's hot, it's sweet, it's funny and angsty and just so perfect 🔥💯. If you've loved this series so far, you won't be let down! It's amazing, and so good to revisit past characters like Sky & Bones, and Evan & Alek 😘. I love this little found family and can't WAIT for anything new by Knight 🤩.

“When are you going to see what’s right in front of you?”
This story has been cruising on the sidelines long enough and now Noah & Mackie are the front drivers. Expect heartache, explosive passion, hidden surprises and an unknown driver to cause these two to open a different lane.
One thing is for certain, are they winning the cup or the heart of a lover?
“I’ve never wanted something more.”
“Taste me, touch me, bring me back to life.”
I was looking forward to reading Noah’s & Mackie story and then seeing that another male Conan was also going to be thrown into the mix. I wondered how this was going to all come together!
Well…it certainly all does work.
Straight away you understand Noah's reluctance to even start anything with Mackie, it appears more has been happening that Noah has been keeping secret. Mackie doesn’t want to give up, but bumping into Conan a photographer has his head turning wanting to try something more and still his heart is yearning for Noah.
As the story unfolds you find out more about each of these males, their drive and passion is more than racing. Noah & Conan know that having Mackie in their lives means they must get on with each other…it’s a real turn around as this story switches gears for each character.
“I can accept anything except losing you.”
Of course, this racing family has grown, you won’t be disappointed as familiar faces to this series are present throughout and bring their own fun loving chaos! Packed full of emotion, mixture of characters and lots of smoky spice to have you reaching for the finish line!
They can call me greedy, but I’m sharing these hearts.

Review of advance copy received from Author
My face was a picture when I found out this was MMM... what could be better than 2 Ms? Obviously 3!!!
Gosh, this one was such a trip. I felt all the emotions as the story played out. I laughed A LOT during this book, but there are also so many twists and turns that I really couldn't predict where this one was going to go, and that made me nervous as hell.
If you've kept up with the series, then you'll already know and love 2 of the 3 MMCs. I thought our new MMC, Conan, was such a beautiful addition to complete the ménage à trois. He's the anchor, and Noah is the storm, kinda thing. His level of understanding is unparalleled, even when I think he took a bit of a backseat 🥹.
It's jam-packed with cameos, too, which I ate up! One character that came out of left field and I fell head over heels for was Mackie's Grandma.
Mackie's Gran is the GOAT! Seriously, she's such an icon, and I aspire to be her when I'm old 💅👑. I also love when KA introduces characters like this because I feel like we're getting a sneak peek into her personality through her writing.
Anyway, enough about the plot and the characters, let's talk about the spice! KA definitely understood the spicy assignment with this one. I think she put viagra or something in between those pages because I went feral. Some of her finest work of late, if you ask me, plus all the prep and lube to boot, we love a prepped King!!! Bravo mi lady, flipping fantastic! 😋
This was a really good read from start to finish, and I can't wait to see what comes next...but I must demand Mackie's Gran gets a permanent spot on the cameo roster 🤣.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“You hear that, Dennis, you old f**k? I’m with the lesbians. They have the right idea. Go back to your wrinkly balls and weird obsession with your flowers and leave them alone!"

Mackie has loved Noah for as long as he can remember. He even had Noah's poster on his wall. Now, Noah owns the garage that services Mackie's car. But while Mackie may be interested, Noah claims he doesn't feel the same. Conan is a photographer who was asked to take the promo photos of Noah's drivers. He recognizes Mackie from a time when Mackie was there for him and wants to return the favor. These three are all connected in a way that cannot be denied, if only they are open to the possibilities.
Wow! These three were unexpected. Mackey was the sweetest, beautiful, loyal and always seeing the best in others. I couldn't help but root for him to make his racing dreams come true. Conan was carrying the weight of devastating grief over the loss of his partner, and I wanted him to find peace again. And Noah was caring and protective with good intentions, but his overreaching decision-making and poor communication caused so many unnecessary complications. He struggled. These three followed a winding path to togetherness, and it was messy. So believable. They had to earn their happiness. I felt like I earned it as well. I felt every bit of the tension with the misunderstandings, setbacks, victories, etc. Denial, heartbreak, grief, and healing all led to love. Then, to watch Conan and Noah set differences aside for Mackie was so rewarding since he was the key. I'm amazed at this racing world. The complicated relationships and deep characters deliver entertaining stories each time.

YES YES YES!!! 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️ Who has been waiting for grouchy Noah's downfall?? ME. ABSOLUTELY ME. 😮💨🔥
And K.A. Knight gave us exactly what we wanted... while still sneaking in a few emotional curveballs that had me feeling sorry for Noah when I least expected it. 😭
🏎️ Racing romance
🖤 MMM throuple
🔥 Boss/employee vibes
🖤 Unrequited love
🔥 Emotional healing
🖤 Found family/team dynamics
Mackie is the absolute heart of this story. The sass, the loyalty, the chaos... he is the glue holding everyone together. And let's be honest... Mackie is one DIRTY boy and I loved every second of it. 😏🥵
But the real magic was watching these men figure out that loving each other doesn't have to mean losing something. Noah, Mackie, and Conan each bring their own baggage, heartbreak, and fears to the relationship, and seeing them learn to share—or risk ending up alone—had me completely invested.
The chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS. 🔥 The spice is hot, the emotions hit hard, and the drama is just enough to keep the pages flying without overwhelming the romance.
By the end, my heart was full, my emotions were wrecked, and I was cheering for every single one of them. A perfect blend of angst, heat, healing, and racing toward a future worth fighting for. 🏎️🖤

🏁🖤 I know I gave the other books in this series a high rating as well, but I have to say that Sharing Hearts is my favourite book out of all of them! 🖤🏁
Mackie, Conan, and Noah had me all over the place with my emotions! I was frustrated, angry, heart broken, happy, wanting to give them hugs, while also wanting to shake some sense into them! Then you have Sky and Bones with their relationship and commentary having my laughing so hard at times!
This story had on an emotional rollercoaster! Noah and Mackie worked together in the racing industry, and Noah was using that and another secret reason to keep Mackie at an arms length (even after a steamy kiss) because he thought he was protecting him. Mackie tried so hard to break through Noah’s hard shell, but when Conan stepped into the picture he realized that maybe he was finally done being hurt by the one he thought he loved. The way I just wanted to bonk their heads together until they got some sense knocked into them was unreal. I was starting to think I was going to have to choose, until I Remembered Katie doesn’t do me like that!
Overall I absolutely loved this book and think it will leave your heart racing 🖤🏁

I won’t lie, I was a little skeptical of this book after the last book in the series didn’t really fit into the other characters stories, but I know K.A and I know her books never disappoint. And boy was I correct.
Back to Starfire Racing, we get to follow everyone’s favorite sunshine, Mackie, as he works to become a champion for the first time. And oh my god what a whirlwind adventure it is.
Noah, the broody boss who pushes everyone away, scared to let anyone get close, even Mackie. We finally learn why in this book, and when I tell you I was screaming at Noah to stop being an idiot, I meant it.
Then we have Conan, the photograph that Evan works for. He meets Mackie and the rest of their story is history.
Most of the story is a slow burn, but when Mackie finally picks for himself what he wants, it explodes. A chance to be with both Conan and Noah. As they navigate that, Noah’s and Conan’s past, and an annoying woman who just won’t give up, we’re left with a beautiful story.
I was on the edge of my seat this entire book just waiting to see what was going to happen with Noah
Bonus points for the side characters of Grandma, Noah’s dad, and getting to see Skylar and the rest of the gang

Sharing Hearts absolutely wrecked me emotionally.
This wasn’t just a romance about attraction or chemistry. It was about vulnerability, grief, fear, and learning how to communicate before losing the people you love completely.
Mackie was the emotional heart of this story for me. He loves so openly despite constantly getting hurt, and there were multiple scenes where my chest physically hurt for him.
Conan added such a beautiful layer of tenderness and grief to the relationship dynamic too. Some of his quieter moments genuinely stayed with me after finishing the book.
And Noah… frustrating, emotionally beautiful Noah. 😭
Watching him slowly realize the damage caused by his emotional distance was painful but incredibly satisfying.
Also:
Mackie’s grandma deserves her own fandom.

“I don’t want you only when you’re happy. I want to be part of your life, and that means the bad days as well.”
♡Katie did it again! I swear I devour everything she writes like it's my last meal! This is how every love triangle should be written because I'm a firm believer in the "why choose triangle." If I was in Mackie's shoes There's zero way I could have chosen between Conan the hot photographer that worships me & Noah my grumpy racing coach who I've secretly been in love with since I first set eyes on him....SHARING IS CARING OKAY!?
With that being said this book was filled to the brim with angst, spice, healing, love, & so much found family that my heart was overflowing! This entire series has been phenomenal so I adore that Katie keeps bringing characters from past books back & giving us a glimpse in their lives! I will never be ready to say goodbye to this series.♡

I loved the starting. But genuinely, here's some things I hated about this book:
- it doesn't feel mmm, seriously, I'm tired of mmm being just two guys loving the same one. And basically just accepting that mc loves them both type thing.
- Conan feels like a third wheel, I felt so bad for him. I genuinely wished it was mm cause he and mackie were so healthy together and loving.
Noah basically pissed me off so much throughout the book, I started skimming a bit of his perspective due to that. The mixed signals made me feel so bad for Mackie.
- Isn't Conan a vegetarian? There was a scene where he was cooking pasta and chicken, so I feel there's also character comsistency problem. And Conan and Noah has this same uhhh intercourse way? Like both of them loves calling him boy or something.
I wished for more diversity in that but anyway. I really loved mackie and Conan, they made me happy. And it gave me butterflies, but unfortunately I dnf'ed it at chapter 28. Might pick it up later if I can't forget this book or leave it out of my mind

I love love love this series and this is the first in the series that’s MMM! I was wondering how it was going to be set up cause we’ve known of mackie’s love for Noah for a min now so it was interesting to see how another added in would play out. Noah ultimately is my favorite for the book. I love how they just kept them in individual relationships together vs the whole my boyfriend’s are boyfriends because I loved watching their friendship evolve with each other into family. Noah’s dad was a breath of fresh air and had a complete “ wtf am I doing let me fix this” arc that I was so here for. Mackies grandma is a page stealer in the best ways kinda like Skyler ❤️ I feel another book coming?? Hints for two of them it seems…maybe 3…am I the only one who caught them!?! Clarke is def getting a book w miss hot as sin in a pant suit lol

I love some MM romance and this was a really good read! These guys are better than me though because I am selfish and would NOT be sharing 😂 I wouldn't mind being the one shared though 👀
There's plenty of yearning and angst along with some fighting of feelings but it was fun to watch it all play out! I loved how Mackie switched up, sometimes he's submissive and shy, but mess with him or those he cares about and a whole other side of him comes out 🥵
I loved the sense of family throughout the story too! There's obviously some drama on and off the race track but the supportiveness was so well written!!
Oh and Mackie's grandma might just be my favourite character ever, she had me in stitches 😂 I hope to be like her when I'm 70!!
Thank you so much to Katie for the PR box for my honest review 🫶🏻

Before this book was even announced, I was already excited to read Mackie and Noah's story. Then I found out it was going to be MMM and that Conan would be part of the relationship, and my anticipation went through the roof.
Mackie absolutely stole my heart. He was sweet, loving, and impossible not to adore. Noah, on the other hand, tested my patience more than once with how stubborn and hard-headed he could be—I wanted to shake some sense into him on Mackie's behalf! And then there was Conan. His protective Daddy energy was everything, and watching his growth throughout the story made me love him even more.
I don't want to spoil any of the journey because discovering it for yourself is part of what makes this book so special. What I will say is that their story was beautiful, emotional, and incredibly satisfying from beginning to end.
Bones and Skylar still hold the top spot as my favorite couple in this series, but this trio came very close to taking that crown.

We head back to Pine Valley for another amazing book. This series keeps on getting better. Now it’s Mackie's turn. He’s one of these characters that you just fall in love with as he’s caring, kind, loyal and you just want him to have his happy ending. Mackie has always had a feeling for Noah but Noah has been keeping him at a distance even when they shared a kiss. We find out why Noah keeps pushing Mackie away and we see the Internal battle he is fighting . It all changes when Conan comes to take some pictures of the team. Conan has also had some heartbreaking moments in his life and is still grieving. Mackie is the one to bring everyone together in the emotional ride, they all have their own fears but they can work together to over come them. This is a must read and will have you hooked from the first page and seeing old faces special sky.
Review of advance copy
Ready set race for their hearts!
This book had me in a grip that wouldn't let go.
These guys were not afraid to show their feelings. Were not afraid to prove their love. The only thing that stopped them was the view of others and what that would do to the center of their world Mackie.
Mackie may look like a gentle flower, but when someone hurts those he cares about his tough side comes out. He learned from the best, his grandma. He lets his claws come out and he defends them and shows the world they have to go through him to get to those he loves.
Seeing how Mackie brought not just his guys together, but how the garage also took a hit when he was sad, showed how much his sunshine affected everyone around him. He really is a happy person that loves to show his found family how much they mean to him and share his joy with them.
I love how you don't have to read the other books in order to understand the dynamics you can just jump right in, but you do miss a few things. I will definitely be going back because I need to read Skylar's story. He is deranged but in the best way. He had me in stitches and I need to see how he got that way and how Bones puts up with him. There was so much love in this story and so much heartbreak that Conan, Noah, and Mackie had to navigate and they did it and when they did it together it brought them together and made their circle tighter and showed Mackie that they could do this and all be happy together.
Thank you so much K.A. Knight for letting me read an early copy of this amazing story!!
This book had me in a grip that wouldn't let go.

Review of advance copy received from Author
AHHHHH! KA does it again! Absolutely devoured this book! Finished it in less than 24 hours and couldn't get enough! We are back with our main group of Pine Valley College friends for this 5th installment and the stakes have been raised. Mack is obsessed with his boss Noah and has been for ages. Noah says he is too old for Mack, but that isn't the true reason he isn't willing to give them a shot. Then Conan comes on the scene. He is Evan's (from book 1) photography mentor, and when he arrives to take photos for the racing team Mack is on sparks fly. Conan also has a past with Mack, but Mack doesn't remember him. Cue jealous Noah when Mack tries to move on with Conan. Lots of tomfoolery ensues! There are some interpersonal relationship issues between Noah and his family, new racing teams, past relationships and more that add to the drama as well. Overall enjoyed the growth we see the characters make, as well as allllllllllll the spice! LOVE IT!
