I was so sucked in and captivated by this story & these characters!! Another absolute hit by Morgan Elizabeth!! Enemies to lovers, sports romance, grumpy x sunshine, and romantic suspense! This one had me loving every second!!
I absolutely love a story with a bad ass FMC & Lana is just that! She has spent her life changing to fit in & putting herself on the back burner. As a Maven (undercover) her new mission puts her as a woman in Monster Mash, driving a monster truck & competing with the boys. Roman is our bad boy pro racer, who has had some rough moments & Lana’s new mission is to help figure out who is creating all his problems.
Together these two have banter, chemistry, and absolute tension that has you wanting more & more from them!! The way he continues to show up for her & by her side, pushing her to be who she is & giving her a safe space to do what she loves, just tugged at my heartstrings!! Lana is just as lovable, seeing through his facade and noticing the real Roman underneath.
I absolutely loved seeing how much these two opened up together & just gave the comfort to be their true selves!! This entire book was fun, filled with hilarious moments, spice, and added suspense & twists that just made this one so hard to put down!! Highly recommend!!
Thank you Morgan Elizabeth & House of Hearts for this early copy!!

I’m a huge fan of The Mavens as a concept - so I was very intrigued to read Heartbreaker. While the mmc wasn’t my favourite, I did thoroughly enjoy the monster truck vibes & being a woman in a male dominated field (relatable). As always, Morgan Elizabeth did deliver on the mystery aspect (and that’s what I was here for anyways). Very eager to see more books in The Mavens series - whilst also wondering if they still take applications?

Review of advance copy received from Author
Heartbreaker by Morgan Elizabeth was equal parts fun, incredible spice and connection, and enemies to lovers goodness. This book is what romance books should be. It was consuming from start to finish, it had so much vibrancy and personality and life and exuberance just filling the pages of this story, and it had the most undeniable level of connection between these two characters that had me literally dying for more of them and everything they shared. I literally could not stop reading this book and stayed up until 1 AM finishing it because I was that obsessed and consumed and just invested in this story, in this couple, and in every moment I could get with Roman and Lana. Those two definitely made this book memorable in every way and I for one could not get enough.
Every word of this book just reminded me again and again why Morgan Elizabeth is one of my favorite authors. And honestly, I spent so much of this book not only falling absolutely in love with Roman and Lana and everything they shared, just enjoying the immaculate vibes of this book, and beyond consumed in what this author brought to life, but I also spent much of this book just feeling so grateful that I found myself to this author’s words and stories. Her books are just in a league of their own in my opinion. The way they all so perfectly balance heart and feels with consuming connection and fire, with memorable stories and characters and moments, all while just giving you the time of your life and a hell of a love story is truly everything. I honestly cannot say that enough. And reading this book and falling in love with these characters in every moment of their story just reminded me again and again how grateful I am that I get to experience stories and characters and moments as a reader within the words and worlds that Morgan Elizabeth creates.
Heartbreaker truly captures everything. I love about a book by Morgan Elizabeth. There was not only so much vibrancy and personality between Roman and Lana and every other character of this book, but there was just something magical and consuming about what is infused into this book. I mean, I’m telling you the moment I started this book I could not put it down. I was hooked. I was sinkered. I was ready for everything. This story had to offer and I was definitely here for the unadulterated connection and level of fire between Roman and Lana. Those two love to push every single button they can find on the other, but I was here for every second of them realizing that every button they pushed on the other simultaneously brought them closer and had them falling so hard for one another. Feeling and experiencing all of that while the story unfolded was fantastic and just made for a read that I loved every single word of.
Roman and Lana definitely know how to get under each other skin and being forced to be so close to one another is driving them crazy. But it’s the best kind of crazy because the more these two are around each other, the more they see the real versions of each other. The more they understand each other, the more they see each other‘s vulnerabilities, and the more they push that tension closer and closer to the inevitable edge that they will fall over together. And let me just tell you, when these two enemies become lovers and become so much more you will love getting to fall over that edge right along with them. Because that edge is glorious with these two. It is not only chock full of their very distinctive personalities and connection and vibrancy, but it is just perfect for them. The way in which these two bring out the best and the most true versions of each other when they’re together is everything and we’ll just have you knowing that they have to find a way.
The way that that feeling, and that connection to these two and their story pulls you through every breath of what they share in this book will definitely have you rooting like hell for them, and knowing that they have to find a way to that much deserved happily ever after because there is no other ending that is suitable for the two of them.
I also have to say that getting to be in the thick of it with these two when push comes to shove, when the truth is revealed, and getting to watch these two pull back the layers of one another as they realized exactly who they were and what they felt was utterly phenomenal. Lana and Roman may push every button on one another, they may drive each other crazy, but in the same breath, they give each other everything, and it shows. On every single page of this book and in every moment you get with them, you feel it in your bones and then you’re very soul how much these two are meant to be. You feel it in the way they build trust with one another, you feel it in the way they support one another, you feel it in the way they just get one another and celebrate every part and peace of one another. You just get to experience it in the most authentic way through what this author creates and it will have you loving every single second, you get with them.
I also was very much here for the way that these two kept each other on their toes and definitely kept each other dying for more. Roman and Lana definitely bring the enemies to lovers vibes in the best way and show that being forced to work closely with one another, being presented with opportunity after opportunity to impact and affect each other, and being pushed to realize the truths that are right in front of them is exactly where they needed to be.
These two definitely helped turn each other‘s worlds upside down and honestly, I don’t think they would have it any other way and I know I wouldn’t because getting to experience their love story through Morgan Elizabeth’s incredible writing just shows you that these two were meant to find each other and be in each other’s lives. You feel that in every breath of this book, and in every second of connection and fire and spark these two share, and it’s truly incredible to experience. What these two share together will definitely have you believing in them, the connection they share, and what it all means for them in their future, and you will just love it. You will love it so much. I know I did.
I have to say that one of my favorite aspects of this book and really in any of the many books I’ve read by this author is feeling like I genuinely get to love and know her characters. I felt like I just got so many pieces of who Roman and Lana each were, and I got to feel so invested and a part of their individual journeys to success while also seeing them fall so hard for one another. Getting to see them have hard conversations, getting to see them share their vulnerabilities and fears and every piece of themselves, and just getting to be there as they opened up and put it all on the line for themselves in each other when it really mattered was truly everything. It made for a love story I couldn’t help but be invested in and characters that I just loved wholeheartedly for who they were.
Between Roman’s bad boy exterior with a true heart of gold and a level of protectiveness that was swoony with a capital S, and Lana‘s no nonsense self who was just so genuinely herself even when the world pushed her in other directions….I was smitten with these two. They just so perfectly complimented each other and even in those moments when they drove each other crazy or bantered until the cows came home, those two we’re so right for one another. And I honestly could not get enough of every single moment I not only got a piece of them, but I got to experience their moments together as they worked their asses off to end open the place they truly wanted to be together.
Not to be all done, this entire world of characters that Morgan Elizabeth has created own a very special place in my heart. This book is a true standalone, but it’s in a series that is so fun and just so unique, but it’s also in a wider world of characters that pop up in the best ways and the best moments. I love that every book of hers feels like a little bit of a family reunion because I just get to spend time with my favorite characters and see little glimpses of them whether it’s on a T-shirt or an actual conversations or what not and I just love it. I love that this author has created such distinctive and memorable characters and stories that they stick with me months and years, and many many books later. Getting to experience another world of characters in this book that I hope to see more of in the future just made my heart love this book even more.
Plus, being set in the world of monster trucks meets Charlie’s Angels was such a unique and fun idea that I absolutely loved. There’s a suspense element to this book that definitely keeps you hooked trying to figure out who is behind what. And along with that there’s also just so many incredible pieces you get to this world of characters in the world of monster trucks and racing that I could not get enough of. I loved getting to see both of these worlds crash into one another and getting to be a part of these characters journeys as they fell for each other in the thick of that. It made for such a memorable story that I just loved every single second of.
If you take one thing away from this book review, please let it be that you should read this book and honestly you need to read every book by Morgan Elizabeth. Heartbreaker was just such a fun and consuming and utterly incredible book to read and experience. It had memorable and distinctive characters, it had a story that just didn’t quit, and it had so much heat and romance that made my love story loving heart so beyond happy. It just showed me a love story between two characters who started off the book so seemingly opposite, but soon became each other‘s everything. I loved getting to be there with them through every single piece of their puzzle coming together and I definitely was here for every authentic and swoony moment these two shared as they created a beautiful and quite memorable picture together.
Heartbreaker was everything I hoped it would be and more. It is definitely one of my favorite romances I have read this year and it gives a very memorable story with two very distinctive characters, who fall in every way possible for one another. Getting to be a part of their story as they drove each other crazy, as they made each other feel everything, and as they became the truest versions of themselves while feeing everything for one another was not only an incredible love story, but a reading experience I know I won’t soon forget. This book combines the fun, the spice, the vibrancy,and all the feels into a unique and memorable package that gives you a love story and two characters who just don’t quit.
And honestly? That’s just part of what I absolutely loved about this book! So just do yourself a favor and jump in a heart first of this book. You won’t regret it and you will just love what Roman and Lana so authentically give you in this book. Prepare yourself for all of the banter, all of the incredible fire and spark, and a love that is built brick by brick on honesty, vulnerability, trust, passion, and so so much connection. Heartbreaker takes all that and more to create a wholeheartedly enjoyable love story from start to finish that will show you the true depth of what these characters share, how far they’re willing to go for each other and the truth, and that will show you every piece that makes them the perfect fit for one another.
Every word of this book just reminded me again and again why Morgan Elizabeth is one of my favorite authors. And honestly, I spent so much of this book not only falling absolutely in love with Roman and Lana and everything they shared, just enjoying the immaculate vibes of this book, and beyond consumed in what this author brought to life, but I also spent much of this book just feeling so grateful that I found myself to this author’s words and stories.

Review of advance copy
This book was just so cool and SO much fun! First of all, the concept of this is just awesome and so refreshing. A monster truck romance with a female monster truck driver as the FMC is just so unique and different. I was getting a little tired of the billionaire, cowboy, hockey player (or somehow all three 😂) romances, so this was the perfect little palate cleanser. The cover is also one of my favorites! I LOVE that it actually shows Lana and her badass unicorn monster truck because that thing is freaking awesome. I love that she embraces being feminine while absolutely dominating in such a male dominated sport. She has a history of trying to make herself smaller to fit in or blend in, but I think here she excelled at standing out and proving other people wrong.
I expected Roman to be the cocky playboy former IndyCar turned monster truck driver, but he was actually just such a sweetheart. I loved how supportive he was of Lana from the very beginning. He stood up for her when people questioned her because she was a woman, believed in her talent, encouraged her dreams, and never once tried to dull her shine. He trusted her and genuinely wanted to see her succeed, and I loved that so much.
One of my favorite scenes was when they had the monster truck arena all to themselves and just drove around together. It felt like the cutest date, and I loved that moment between them. Their chemistry was so good!
You all know romantic suspense is my favorite romance subgenre, so the mystery aspect was right up my alley. Trying to figure out who was sabotaging Roman kept me invested and I won't lie, but this was the first time I actually guessed who the perp was! I KNEW it, but there were so many suspects, so much tension, and I loved all the investigation and whodunnit elements woven into the romance.
My only real complaint (and the reason this was 4 stars instead of 5 for me) is that they got together SO fast. By around 25% they were already together, and then it felt like chapter after chapter of spice before the plot really started moving again around the halfway point. Don't get me wrong... the spice was hot, as it always is with anything Morgan writes, but I wanted it to get back to the mystery and suspense, or to be better balanced. I also wish we'd gotten more of the rivals to lovers kind of dynamic because the tension between them disappeared pretty quickly once they admitted they were attracted to each other. However, I was okay with all of that because the book was just so good that it was easy to overlook those things and it definitely didn't deter me!
I thoroughly enjoyed this SO much! The premise was incredibly unique, the romance between Lana and Roman was amazing, and the suspense was perfect. This was a really, really great second book in the Mavens series, and now I'm even more excited for Demi and Rory's books! I need them SO bad!
Thank you to Morgan Elizabeth and House of Hearts Lit for the eARC of this book.

I loved this book! Maneater (book one in this series) set the bar high, and I just want to start off this review by saying that this book exceeded my expectations. Lana (FMC) and Roman (MMC) are so cute together, and though he is initially an irritating ass toward her, it quickly becomes apparent that they are both excellent at hiding behind a mask and shutting down their real emotions when other people are around. Both of the main characters are monster truck drivers, but Roman has no idea that Lana is really there because she works for the Mavens (think Charlie’s Angels) and was hired by his boss to investigate what seems to be multiple sabotage attempts against the racing company as well as Roman himself. I love the way the hidden identity situation was handled, and the MMC’s reaction to all of it (and the patience he shows her when she feels really anxious to tell him the whole truth).
Roman may be an arrogant reformed playboy, but he is an excellent boyfriend to Lana all things considered. They get together fairly quickly, but the pacing is great, and there is much more to the plot than just them ending up together. I love that they are happy together (even with secrets hanging over them) for the majority of the book, and of course like the rest of this author’s books the spice is on point. Roman is so sweet, and I love that he really sees Lana, and is determined to give her everything that she has ever wanted (two words: Calico Critters). He stands up for her from the start, even though she can fight her own battles, because he believes in her even when they are just supposed to be rivals.
I really like how the third act was handled, and how the author showed that a couple can be tested and fight without forcing a third act breakup just for the sake of having one. Conflict in a relationship is normal, but I firmly believe that the relationship doesn’t have to be completely destroyed to prove that they will stay together in the long run. This book shows them facing a conflict, arguing their feelings, taking a tiny bit of space so they don’t say something they regret, and then communicating when tempers have cooled. I appreciate the healthy approach to communication and showing them learn how to work through things together.

Heartbreaker by Morgan Elizabeth
4.5⭐️
This was such a fun suspenseful romance filled with banter, flirting, spice, and humor! Roman is such a flirt and so smooth that he had me blushing constantly, and Lana is such a badass that she made me want to be more like her. Their chemistry was palpable and the spice was hot, especially when it was done discreetly in public. But even their little heartfelt and emotional moments were a joy to read and really showed their growth. I loved how Roman not only tried to heal and tend to the grown adult side of Lana, but also to her inner child who didn’t get to show her girly side.
The suspense and mystery part of the book was a nice change of pace that added another layer and fun twist to my usual romance reads. It didn’t feel overly complicated or too rudimentary, instead hit a nice sweet spot for a bit of a whodunit.
But my favorite thing about this book was that Lana was a female monster truck driver who changed the game for the better. She was a positive role model to not only little girls who were inspired to be girly AND get dirty, but also to the world in general to show that women can do anything. Although this world is fictional, this book leaves readers with the wonderful message to not be afraid to be yourself and don’t dim your shine to appease everyone around you or fit in with the crowd.

Thank you house of hearts publishing for the opportunity to arc review this book!
The perfect mix of spice and girl power message
Lana has a new mission.. one that involves her driving and racing a unicorn monster truck. Her mission figure out who's sabotaging the racers, but most importantly engage with the play boy Roman. However when she starts bickering with Roman she sees through the facade he puts on. Told in a dual pov story in both Lana and Romans pov you get it all the banter and bickering leading to a nice slow burn that burns hot when the time comes.
Romans tough exterior and soft interior had me swooning and bracing myself for the next interaction between the two.
Not only was the spice spicing, the added story line of Lana entering into a misogynistic sport of monster truck racing. Where Lana has to find her place and make her place known in this monster truck area. The first person to come to her rescue was Roman. While the story progresses for them in the love department there are more weird things that happen missing clothes, tires being cut, and leaked things to the press. Lana and Demi ( her partner) are trying to get to the bottoms of it, without anyone else figuring out what they truly are in the circuit for.
The little things that Roman does as a reformed bad boy and in a boyfriend schooling just had me kicking my feet. And the way he stuck up for her and wouldn't let her say "I'm just a girl"
With the tropes of grumpy sunshine, forced proximity, sports romance, and undercover spy.
With a spice level of 3/5 for me personally I could not put this book down. It had me hooked. Not just with the spice but also with the girl power, girls can be girls with pretty in pink get down and dirty in a monster truck.

I was so excited for another book in the Mavens setting! A monster truck-driving PI? Absolutely hell yes, Lana is right up my alley. Roman, on the other hand, is a whole ass misogynistic dickhead. Unsure how I’m expected to root for another MMC who talks to the FMC as if she’s too stupid to go outside on her own. Somewhere around the 15% mark, he gets an entire personality overhaul and suddenly is her biggest fan, defending her in every possible conversation? I don’t get it. Lana is also supposed to be a badass woman, so I couldn’t enjoy the way she constantly talked down on ‘being girly’ whenever she got insecure - I understand what the goal was, but men don’t have to give you the a-ok to be feminine and she was supposed to be determined in her girly badbitchery. I looked at her as a symbol of you-can-be-it-all but there was an undertone of misogyny in this entire story that I really struggled with, as that is the exact opposite of what I look for in the Mavens. A bunch small remarks sprinkled through the entire book. Once I hit one third in, I found myself enjoying the book a lot more: the action picks up, the storytelling is more fun, and Roman is less of a dickhead - but I did not like that it took this long before I could get over his assholeness and get into the flow of the story. The mystery was great, the suspense will get you on the edge of your seat with your own 'murder board' next to you! I’m still giving three and a half stars because I vibed with the second half, but I had hoped this would be a five star read.

First, before talking about the book, I want to say that anything Morgan Elizabeth writes is pure gold, so when I saw that ARCs were available, I immediately applied. Thanks to Morgan Elizabeth and House of Hearts for the gifted copy — all opinions are my own.
Lana has always been good at fitting in. Even when she was very young, she wanted to fit in with her brothers and her dad, so she would secretly play with dolls, but ask for tomboy-ish things for her birthday. That's why she's the chameleon for the Mavens, a task of female private investigators. When things start going south on the monster truck circuit, she's called in for a job. And because she's raced before, Lana blends right in.
Enter Roman, bad boy monster truck driver, who is current suspended from the Indy circuit. But is he actually a bad boy? And is the monster truck circuit being messed with or is it specifically Roman?
Honestly, loved this book from the very beginning. I love that the book features women empowerment and shows that women can do ANYTHING that a man can do. I love that our MMC shows our FMC that she can do that and furthermore to stop negatively talking about herself as a woman.
There are highs and lows in this book, but the spice is top tier. Normally I like a real slow burn, like give me major yearning, but the pacing in this book actually did NOT disappoint.
Tropes:
💜 Enemies to Lovers
🦄 Grumpy x Sunshine
💜 Forced Proximity
🦄 Sports Romance
💜 Romantic Suspense
🦄 She's an undercover spy x he's a reformed bad boy
I give Heartbreaker by Morgan Elizabeth 4.2/5 stars.

Review 📖
Heartbreaker
The Mavens Book 2
Written by Morgan Elizabeth
A Rivals to Lovers Monster Truck
Romance… Do I need to say more ? Yes, okay.
A Charlie's Angels meets Monster Trucks Romance where the FMC is a badass?! I hope that's enough.
Ever since I was a teenager I was obsessed with Charlie's Angels. A bunch of badass women who are secret agents sign me up! That is the first thing that enticed me into this story. The second is a female monster truck driver. Since my 3 year old son is obsessed with monster trucks, it is only fitting that I want to read a monster truck book because at this point I'm just as obsessed as him.
With all the fun stuff aside I am obsessed with the banter between Lana and Roman. The chemistry between them is hot. I love that he supports and also pumps up how badass she is. Not only that I love how they can both read each other so well. Match made in the monster truck area. Such a fun, female powered and spicy read. I highly recommend this book for a good time.

Thank you Morgan Elizabeth and House of Hearts for this ARC of Heartbreaker, girl power and monster trucks YES please!
Heartbreaker was a vibe, and I am here for it. For the little girls who wanted to play with Barbie’s but also wanted to play in the dirt with the boys, this book represented so much more than the epic swoony love story that it was🫶 You can be a bad ass woman who wears sparkly things and also drive a huge unicorn monster truck, the sky is the limit when it comes to turning your dreams into reality!
I adored Lana and everything her character represented and I loved Roman how he became her champion‼️ The way these two fell for each other was beautiful chaos 🤭 When Lana and Demi “had” to tell him why they were really their, the way he handled it was perfection, the way helped was spectacular but most of all the way he loved Lana was next level‼️
I can’t wait for more of the Mavens and also seeing these characters pop up in some other books as well, it’s always such a fun treat🤭

ARC Review 🦄
Such a fun and addictive book! It follows Lana (FMC) and Roman (MMC), and while Roman definitely didn't make the best first impression on Lana, seeing their relationship evolve was so fun. Their banter was absolutely everything, and the chemistry between them jumped off the page from the very beginning.
What I loved most was how supportive Roman was of Lana's career and dreams. He never tried to hold her back and was always in her corner, which made it impossible not to fall for him. At the same time, Lana gave Roman the patience and understanding he needed to open up, making their connection feel so genuine.
This book had me completely hooked from start to finish. I was so invested in their story that I practically read it in one sitting because I simply couldn't put it down. I loved every second of this book and would highly recommend it.

The moment monster trucks were mentioned in maneater i was praying we would get this book and it didn’t disappoint!!
I absolutely INHALED this book, it was such a fun time!
Roman is the definition of lover boy and down bad. He’s never been in a relationship but completely besotted with Lana from the moment he meets her.
He tells her from the start that he wants to get to know her and just adores her so much.
Lana is such a fun character! She’s completely different to what i expect and also such a badass!
Roman and Lana are so cute together and have amazing communication the whole way through
I say it every time but i LOVE how Morgan Elizabeth writes her characters and the way they solve problems without having an unnecessary breakup. Plenty of communication to talking everything through without over reacting!
I love this series so much and never want it to end!!
Thank you Rae & Morgan for the ARC🫶🏻

Review of Advanced Reader Copy!
This book was so much fun from start to finish! I loved the mix of romance, mystery, and the monster truck setting! It felt fresh and different!
Roman and Lana had amazing chemistry, and their constant bickering had me smiling the whole way through. I also loved that Lana was such a capable, confident FMC, while Roman had so much more depth than his reputation suggested. The suspense kept me guessing, but the romance was definitely the highlight.
Morgan Elizabeth nailed the grumpy/sunshine and rivals to lovers dynamic, and I couldn’t put it down! If you’re looking for something fast-paced, funny, and full of tension, I’d absolutely recommend picking this one up!

Meanwhile, Roman and Lana are rivals in the monster truck race but also madly attracted to one another! While Lana is concealing why she’s truly racing, Roman won’t let her stay away! He lets her be her true self, which is the tomboy and the princess 🛞 When the truth is revealed, will Roman be able to trust Lana and will it be easy for Lana to walk away?
Loved their story so much! All of Morgan’s MMCs are great, so I’m not surprised Roman was amazing!!

Oh my god. Morgan Elizabeth has done it again with another grumpy x sunshine book. Except this time, there’s a big monster truck that looks like a unicorn.
I always love receiving ARCs from this author because I know I’m in for a wild ride of laughs, kicking my feet and loving each character and how she portrays them. Each new character is so different and diverse, and this book is no exception.
The chemistry between characters, the banter, and the slight mystery as to who’s targeting our MMC. I devoured this book in a matter of days, truly upset when I had to put it down.
Thank you, Morgan Elizabeth and PenPal PR for giving me an opportunity to read this in advance. I loved it so so much💜

Review of advance copy
Monster trucks and badass female spies? I'm sold. Lana is undercover racing monster trucks trying to figure out who is sabotaging a particular company. Roman is the bad boy suspended Indy driver sent back down to race trucks for a year. Lana can't help the pull she feels towards him. Their chemistry and banter was top tier. He pushed her buttons and she didn't hold back on calling him out. They were also so good for each other. He truly cared and supported her. Whenever she talked down about herself while racing or hiding her true self, he was always there to lift her up. Showing her how much she belonged in the race. She let him be his true self, not the bad boy he plays.

This was such a fun read!
This book is more on the suspense side than rom-com side but I love that it really blends the two styles together and doesn’t get too dark or gritty.
Roman and Lana were so good together and for each other. She helps him calm down when his temper flares and he helps her love out her truest self.
This was so fun to watch them grow as individuals as their relationship grew stronger and her friendships with the rest of crew and drivers as well.
The chameleon found her forever dream and her forever love in one place. 🥰

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Morgan Elizabeth does it again with another amazing read. I absolutely love the Mavens series and can’t wait for more from this world.
This book had all my favorite things and I couldn’t put it down. A badass woman, a grumpy man who falls hard, and great banter and chemistry between our main characters. This is definitely one of my favorites from this author and I highly recommend it.

3.5 rounded up
I really enjoyed Maneater and was excited for another Mavens story. This one definitely had a different feel. The mystery wasn't as forward in this one and more of a sports storyline. The romance was instalust and there wasn't a lot of build up before they got together. Lana was an interesting character and I enjoyed her storyline especially with her wanting to be girly and do stereotypical boy things. I really enjoyed Demi and hope she gets a book next.

This was my first Maven book and I absolutely love it! I grew up watching monster trucks and this just made me soo nostalgic. It's a great journey of who done it and finding yourself at the same time. Lana is sassy and a really strong woman along with her partner Demi. Roman is arrogant, a teddy bear, and total alpha-hole. This is a book that I will reread time and time again.

Ahhh, this was amazing! A woman dominating a man’s world in style! Going undercover changed everything for her especially since it was something she loves, she just didn’t expect to fall in love. He is so supportive of her and making changes. This was absolutely phenomenal!!!

The concept of a MONSTER TRUCK ROMANCE?? Truly so creative and this was an amazing book. I had so much fun reading this book (the banter being my favorite part). I absolutely loved how I was able to laugh and cry throughout the book!! The way Roman was so supportive of everything Lana did ??? LOVED

Another great read from Morgan. I was so excited to see more from the Mavens and hope we get more. Charlie's angels style badass female PIs. Lana is undercover as a monster truck driver which I thought was so fun an unique.
