Loved it!
Though I probably should say more than just that.
Motorcycles are a passion of Cheyenne's, as she states in the authors note, and it really shows - there is a genuine love for them in the story, the catalyst that brings Maren and Jac together, via Orli, who initially has issues adapting to the move. And honestly, and aspect like that can really bring a story to life.
It's a heartwarming story, one of healing for all the characters; and of forging stronger bonds as a family. It's about being true to yourself, coming out, and deciding what type of life you'd like. And of facing fears, even well founded one. Yes, experiences are part of what make us who we are, but there is also the opportunity to grow from them as well.
Orli is as much a main character as Maren and Jac, even though she doesn't get any pov chapters, her part in the book pivotal, her struggles very real. There are some heavy moments, lots of sweet and spicy ones, and even with an undercurrent of uncertainty, not a lot of angst.
This is the kind of book that is hard to put down, and once you do, it sticks with you afterwards, and with how good Cheyenne Blue's books have been for the ones I've read, I will certainly be reading more.
This was a nice read worth a snag for sure. Knew from the first couple chapters where/what plot points would be coming (most familiar with this type of sapphic fiction will), but it was still fun to watch the characters progress through them. The characters are what makes the story work they make you want to see their story.
This book will warm your heart!
I picked this book to try another author. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I had to make myself put it down at night or I would be up all night reading the book. The book was easy to read and followed a beautiful path. It showed how difficult it can be to come out, hard in the family, job and supposed friends. Thanks for this story!
A gorgeous age gap, late coming out, HOT love story!
I love Cheyenne Blues' books. This is another one I LOVE! Maren is Australia's number one newsreader (Anchor) when her 16 yr old daughter Orli gets in trouble with the law. So Maren takes a year leave and moves to outside Sydney from Melbourne. This also brings them closer to Orli's father Marcus.
But it's when she meets her next door neighbor Jacinta or Jac and her motorcycles.
This is a gorgeous age gap, late coming out, steamy HOT love story. 5 stars!

For the love of motorcycles!
What do a famous tv personality, a rebellious teenager and the owner of a motorcycle tour company have in common? Well, motorcycles, of course. This was a most welcome book. It has no big drama. There is angst but mostly on the part of Maren. She was married for many years and has a daughter but is now divorced. When she meets Jac, she is faced with the fact that she wishes she could come out like her ex did but for the sake of her daughter and her job, she just can't do it. Oh, my, but what a terrible time she has with the whole process of being true to herself. I really understood her dilemma and I understood Jac's thoughts about it all. It was very interesting how things worked out. Extremely well written and a unique story. I loved this one and highly recommend it.
