Rating: OBSESSED

In Head Over Wheels, world-class cyclist Lori’s had a tough year. Injuries forced her from the road and a broken heart made everything worse. Training at home with an anonymous online partner brings her back to life and showcases a new side to this intensely competitive woman. But with family pressure mounting and Lori worrying about distractions, she cuts off all contact and focuses on the racing season.

Then it turns out her anonymous partner is none other than the newest member of her brother’s cycling team and journeyman, Sebastien. He’s here for one last season before moving on to something else, namely running a farm and B&B in Belgium. Definitely not Lori’s style.

They try to stay away from each other but….

I am OBSESSED with Head Over Wheels!

First of all, thank you for a sports romance with an FMC athlete. It’s always the MMCs getting to be the athletes in romances, but what about the FMCs and all the women out there who love sports? There are women all over the world who are killing it on the field, pitch, court, ice, pool, and in this case, the roads. We need more, and Head Over Wheels delivers!

Second, the characters were so real and the feelings and mentalities so genuine. I could feel not only their chemistry, but the longing, the angst, the competitive drive, the family pressures, the debates going on in their heads, all of it. And Seb? Adored him, the thought he puts into everything, his sincere concern for Lori and his grounded nature. Finally, the steamy scenes were hot and full of feeling too.

Thank you to @netgalley and @bedfordsq.publishers for my advance copy of Head Over Wheels. All thoughts and opinions are mine.
