so evan and fiona what a ride! one of the best things about this book is how fiona knows about cars and she can fix one idk i just love when the fmc loves cars and knows what she's doing and is passionate about them!
evan was a grumpy man who melted only for fiona it was so amazing and cute so see, also his dog that doesn't really like anyone except evan, ended up really caring for fiona too so obviously was meant to be period!! all the shenanigans with the bailey brothers was so fun, fiona getting in on a prank was epic, gavin being so flirty with her so he could get a reaction from evan also was epic and so good, that man is definitely my fave i can't really wait to read his book, i feel like it's going to be my fave but also seeing scene between cara and logan also make me so intrigued for their story ehehe
loved seeing evan finally opening himself up for someone else, finally letting someone in and loving him the way he deserves it and of course fiona finally finding someone worth it of her, someone who truly appreciates her and respects her and challenges her and just loves her deeply, just beautiful!! fiona was such a sunshine flower talking badass woman i mean love her!! then grace and cara totally befriending her right away and even inviting her to their little club in town not fully knowing if she was going to stay but they did anyway and welcome her with open arms, so wholesome indeed!!! really liked to see luke haven a little bit more in this group, and also liked that fiona just said the conflict between evan and luke was too far they should just stay with the pranks, she really said "grow up you're adults act like it"
overall i really loved the book as a whole, liked to see their development and their chemistry and their banter, just idk there's was something missing for me personally, I wasn't really obsessed with them like i was with grace and asher but it's different, they're different characters with other personalities so it's normal but i did love the book, i loved the storyline and with a little bit of a "criminal" plot ehehe and evan calling his brothers to help him save her and all, it was tense and fun tbh so yeah 4 stars, but im really really ready for gavin's book oh my let's go my baby

This is a "Beauty tames the beast" story. In this one, we meet second oldest Bailey brother Evan. The "Lone Wolf" of the crew. The one who was inexplicably grumpy and reclusive. He meets his match when Fiona Gallagher falls into his life. Fiona is the daughter of the man who sold Evan a stolen car, and stole his dreams of being able to famously flip it. But when an opportunity arises for a new car, Fiona and Evan go on a road trip that changes everything. Fiona is bright and bubbly to Evan's dark and broody. But for whatever reason, he finds he likes having her around.

I really enjoyed this story. Fiona had every reason to hate life, but she remained so bright and optimistic. She became a bit of a lifeline for Evan and he became the one person she could count on. They were a sweet pair.
