In the mood for an MM romance with grumpy/sunshine racers? Then grab The Rookie vs The Ace by Nicole Dykes today!
Blurb:
Carson
I'm the Rookie. That's how they want to label me. The new guy.
But I'm damn good at what I do. I don't have anything to prove.
Except maybe to him.
I've watched his career for years. So yeah, maybe I want to impress him a tiny bit. But I
also can't help riling him up and ruffling his feathers.
He wants me to do things his way, but I don't work like that.
I may be the Rookie, but I'm about to school the Ace.
Brayden
I'm the Ace. I know what I'm doing, and I can't stand arrogant newbies who come in,
thinking they know it all.
I've always hated that. But I've never despised anyone more than Carson Hayes when
he saunters in like he owns the place.
The kid is good, I'll give him that. But he has a lot to learn.
I'm the Ace around here, the one everyone goes to when they finally realize they don't
know it all. And the Rookie is about to learn why.

I received a digital arc for an honest review]
The Rookie vs the Ace by Nicole Dykes is the newest book in the On the Track series. Brayden has been racing for ten years and still loves it even if it's a contract year and those are always stressful. Adding to his stress is his new team Carson. The team's public relations department has decided that a bromance between "the Rookie" and "the Ace" would be great for the team so Brayden and Carson are told to get on board. Carson is thrilled because not only is Brayden great to learn from as a driver, he's also attractive and potentially interested. With his rookie season underway, Brayden wants Carson to focus but finds it difficult as he gets to know the young man. But racing is still a boys club even if other drivers have been able to be their authentic selves so Carson and Brayden have to be careful with their budding relationship.
This is a short yet sweet age gap MM romance between teammates who are told to make it look good for the cameras and find themselves doing a whole lot more than that. Both Carson and Brayden feel a certain amount of loneliness and bond over the struggles of being a professional racer. The two have a lot of chemistry that is felt immediately and continues throughout. With minimum unnecessary angst, I enjoyed seeing Carson and Brayden give each other a chance.
3.5 stars for how quickly the Ace falls for his Rookie.
