Burnout by Rebecca Jenshak
Synopsis:
Knox Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has landed him without a team. He’s untouchable and desperate to turn it around.
Which is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the world that I’m not a twenty-year-old has-been.
Focused on the future, I can’t afford to get distracted. But I recognize the desperation in Knox’s eyes, and I can’t say no to him, either.
It should have been an easy task, but nothing about Knox is easy. One minute we’re arguing, and the next I’m enjoying his shirtless handstands a little too much.
Falling for him would be a mistake…
Review:
Burnout tells the story of Knox Holland, a motocross riders, and Avery Oliver, a gymnast. Their sports, and lives and experiences could not be more different, but fate made them meet and now it is up to them to build their future.
I enjoyed this book. Knox and Avery first impression of each orher isn't the best. He is pretty cocky and closed off, but Avery with her feisty and determined personality gets under his skin, it was interesting to see their relationship grow chapter after chapter. Their bantering is funny, and their physical chemistry is scalding hot, they are opposites that attract and complete each other.
I was a gymnast, never at high levels, but I love the sports and Rebecca Jenshak has perfectly written the atmosphere of the gymnastics competitions, and all the practice that need to become a great athlete. I've also appreciated the fear and the insecurity that make Avery real and relatable.
I like the Holland brothers so much I really hope to read more about them soon.
