Royal

I’m the hotshot—both on and off the track. I know how to work the crowd and show off. And I’m good at it.

I’ve had to become very effective at putting on a show.

But my agent is not a fan of my over-the-top antics. So she did something I still can’t believe . . .

She called in the press—the media. Specifically, the reporter who hates everything I stand for. And now, he’s tasked with showing the world a different side of me.

Yeah . . . Good luck with that.

Soren

I’m a sports reporter, but I’m so much more than that.

My social media following has allowed me to be more. To do more. To try and help my corner of the world do better and be better.

I believe in accountability. I believe in integrity. And that sports professionals are obligated to be a moral compass to their fans.

I’m loud and outspoken about that point. Maybe more so with Royal Dutton—the loudmouth, crude racer with absolutely no morals.

And now, I’m supposed to find the redeeming side of him. I took this job to find something deeper within him. The good guy inside.

Yeah . . . This is going to be impossible.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars -

Could a grumpy, conceited man find love with a reporter that hates him? Royal was definitely playing up his part as the Hotshot of the car racing world. It was hard to like him at the beginning. As his story came out, I softened, just like Soren. Soren tried his best to be honest in his reporting and social postings, in reporting what he saw. Time spent with Royal showed him that he also needed to be honest with himself and his motives. The two had an instant connection and held back for a bit before giving into the feelings. They helped each other heal from their pasts and move forward to a future together. I enjoyed the feeling of family from all the secondary characters.
