Slipstream

by Kris Monforte

Misty has waited for her opportunity to hit the grid at the pinnacle of the Australian motorcycle racing sport. Determination and focus has landed her ahead in her racing career and she will make her rookie season one for the books. No one, not even the new team on track’s son can pull her drive. No matter how good looking or funny he is. Everything is going according to her plan for the season. Until her dickhead ex shows up to cause her time on track hell.

Cue Knox, swooping in and introducing himself as Misty’s boyfriend to put off the weirdo-stalker ex. A situation that has them sharing a hotel room, hanging out more and pretending to be in an intimate relationship.

Can they keep ignoring all the pretending they are doing is just for show or will their forced situationship be exactly what they both deserve?

Let Slipstream zip you away for a fast-paced sports romantic comedy novella.

This is not a dark romance or motorcycle club romance.

This is very much a light and fluffy romantic comedy. Perhaps a palette cleanser for my dark romance besties.

Slipstream is set in Australia, with Australian characters, written by an Australian, therefore this has been written, edited and proofed in British English with some Australian colloquial words.

3.5 rounded up

Meet Misty & Knox - Misty is the sassy “Girl racer” while Knox is the other teams, owners son! They make an unlikely pair, but when Knox sees that Misty could use some help, he knows it’s his time to step up. If only Misty knew that’s exactly what he wanted.

This was such a fun novella! It gave the taste of the series without being overwhelming. I absolutely loved that the FMC was the cool rider and not the typical guy.
There was banter, sass and drama! What a trifecta ;)

“I’m so fucking content. This moment is everything I didn’t think I wanted. Not what I was seeking out, but it came to me when I was least expecting it.”

I loved the role reversal take on motorsports as the FMC being the kickass rather than the male who was softie in this one.

Loved that I also learnt more about the Australian motorcycle racing while reading as well.

As Kris said in her acknowledgements, “I wish Slipstream was a full-length novel!” and honestly… SAME! 😭😍

I. ATE. THIS. UP! 🏎️🔥

Knox, the sexy golden retriever, and Misty, the badass ‘girl racer’?! EVERYTHING! 😍

Knox is completely infatuated from the moment he lays eyes on Misty. Unfortunately, their first encounter has him coming across as arrogant and cocky 🫣 But Misty gives it right back, and the playful banter between these two was EVERYTHING! 😂🔥

When Knox realises something isn’t right, he swoops in and saves Misty after her creepy stalker ex corners her. His brilliant solution? FAKE DATING! 😏 You know… purely to get Jake to back off for good 👀

But will Jake actually get the message? You’ll have to read this deliciously addictive novella to find out 😉🏍️

I mean, who doesn’t love fake dating?! 😍 Add in he falls first AND hard and ONLY ONE BED?! Say less. I’m sold. 🫠🔥

AND THE COLE INFO?! 👀 I was so glad we got that tiny little piece of information! I cannot wait for Ride by Your Side—Fleur and Cole’s story! 😍 I’ve been spotting those little Easter eggs throughout the books, and I am SO ready for their story! 🥹❤️

I devoured this novella.
Knox is the king of pushing buttons and he loves to push Misty's buttons. He is the perfect blend of arrogance and cockiness, and he is absolutely gorgeous! He is also kind, charming, loyal and protective.
Misty's first encounter with Knox leaves her annoyed and a little ticked off. She is fierce and feisty and gives it right back to Knox.
Circumstances push them together and the more they get to know each other, the more they fall.
