Bella and the New Guy: A Kayla Hicks Book Review

2 min read

What is it about?

Roca Springs might be a small, boring Texas town. But it’s my town. I’m about to graduate high school and I plan on spending every second of my summer break at the local motocross track. I need the low-key vibes of a dirt bike track because my best friend is too stuck on her boyfriend to hang out anymore, and after royally humiliating myself in front of my crush, I have no desire to date any time soon.

Dirt bikes are my passion. Not guys.

The last thing I need is for disgraced motocross star Liam Mosely to show up. He was kicked off his professional race team for being a stuck-up, cocky, arrogant jerk, and after spending one day with him, I can’t say I disagree.

The guy is trouble.


My review:

This was an unexpectedly fun read.

Bella loves racing motocross and she just so happens to meet pro racer Liam Mosely, who is sent to her hometown of Roca Springs for punching other motocrossers. It's not long until they become friends, however, they both know that nothing more can come of their relationship since they are both leaving at the end of the summer.

The characters were easy to love, and their hesitation to not ruin their friendship was understandable. There was a small twist I didn't see coming near the end but I think that it was needed to bring Bella and Liam to where they needed to be.

When the book ended, I wanted to know more about them.

I give this book a 4-star rating.
