The Pro vs. the Fan

On the Track, Book 3

By: Nicole Dykes

Narrated by: Liam DiCosimo, Tim Paige

Maverick

I'm the pro. Always professional, always mindful of the press, and always doing the right thing.

My life is flashy and chaotic. I've spent the past few years doing everything I was supposed to, including smiling pretty for the cameras while standing next to the world's favorite pop star.

But now that's over. I'm yearning for a simpler life. I love racing, but the fame part I could do without.

I want a life out of the spotlight, and I want something real.

Cooper

I'm a fan—how could I not be?

And not just a fan of racing. I can't help but be swept up by the lives of celebrities. Wondering if they really have it so much better or if something is missing.

Now that Maverick isn't just that hot racer I've followed for years and is instead my friend, I'm starting to see the answer.

We always want what we don't have.

Rich and famous or poor and seemingly invisible... who really has it better?

Where does true happiness actually lie?

BEST OF THE SERIES!!!

Oh my goodness can I just say how adorable this story is!?!?! I wanted it to never end. By far my favorite of the series, Cooper and Maverick are endgame! I loved how this was a friends to lovers (my favorite!) and Cooper is such an innocent soul, he brought out the light in the other books he was a side character in and I was so glad he got his own HEA in this series. I thought Mav was so mysterious and grumpy in the first couple books but he shocked me in this one, a totally different side of him came out!

I loved how Mav was with Cooper, how he was so nonchalant hanging out with him (showing up to infiltrate his life haha) and staying with him and taking his clothes off haha. I loved how Mav did it and waited to see how adorable Cooper would be and how much he would fry Cooper's innocent and cute heart. Cooper and his friends were hilarious too, especially about Mav and all the animals haha. The two of them were so stinking cute, but there were a lot of bumps. I felt bad for Cooper and was glad he stood up for himself. Mav had to get his head out of his you know what. He hurt Coop and needed to grovel a bit. I loved how he came out and showed Cooper how much he loved him.

THE STEAM IN THIS ONE so good. And all the swoony moments were just as good. I could imagine these two in my head and could see them on a tv show/movie that a lot of people would cheer for them. I still liked the sports romance in this one, I loved racing, but getting to see the animal side and way Cooper had to do school, volunteer, and work to pay bills/school was so realistic. The epilogue was freaking perfect too. I also adored all the animals in this series and how Cooper shoved them on everyone haha and they couldn't say no to him because he was Cooper, best way to describe it haha.

5/5 easily for the story and the narration was so on point, so good no feedback from me! These two are some my favorite narrators that do a lot of M/M and they continued to be amazing. I felt Cooper in my soul and wanted to be his bestie and Mav was so stoic but was such a secret cinnamon roll that was melting every time Cooper came into the room haha. These 2 narrators brought them to life so easily in my mind's eye. I want more of them hahaha.
