“Looks like you got upgraded from PR rep to glorified babysitter. I’ve always wanted to live out that fantasy. Care to roleplay?” She taps her manicured hand on her knee.
“Only if you promise to go to sleep by ten o’clock.”
“It can be arranged after a good fucking.”
“You can always talk to me. I’m here to help you.”
“What happens when you have to go away at the end of the season?”
“What happens if I want to stay?”
"The sun might seem as if it stops shining from time to time because of a cloud or a rainstorm or the nighttime, but it’s still there. It endures everything to nurture the lives that depend on it. You’re my sun. I don’t care if you’re hidden because of a storm or the end of the fucking world. I can’t live without you, and I can’t imagine a world where my son would want to either."
“Jax?”
“Mm.” His chest rumbles beneath me.
“I think I’m falling in love with you.” The words leave my lips in the faintest whisper. He keeps quiet for a solid minute. I second- guess myself, but he squeezes me tighter into him.
“Elena?”
“Mm.” I copy him.
“I already know I am.”
"I don’t need a happy ending. I need our ending. The one that might be messy and imperfect, but exclusively ours."
“I wouldn’t want it any other way. Live a messy life with me, Jax Kingston. I want chaos. I want darkness. I want sunshine and rainstorms with you. But most of all, I want you any way I can have you because I love you.”
“Fuck the usual. I don’t want to be picture- perfect with you. I want to be a fucking mosaic, made up of broken pieces so damn colorful, you can’t help finding them beautiful.”
“Live a messy life with me, Jax Kingston. I want chaos. I want darkness. I want sunshine and rainstorms with you. But most of all, I want you anyway I can have you because I love you.”
So much torque between the two. Both keeping secrets and with their walls up. I was on the sidelines rooting for them. Once they finally let the walls down , Such a beautiful story, I felt like I was all over the track with eyes up. So many turns. With one secret between the two will they win the World Cup, or will they be out of control with a rollover?
I have to give it to Lauren Asher on the Dirty Air Series. Sports romance is a hit or miss with me. Asher captured the sport and wrote a phenomenal series and my souI. I never once rolled my eyes and couldn’t stand the heroine. I loved them all including all the side charters. Claeb is my favorte side charter from thos book. Such a hoot. Jax And Elena's book is my favorite of the series. If you like sports romance, I dont think you will be dissapointed with Wrecked. Side note have tissues on hand.
I received an ARC In exchange for my honest review.
“You’re the biggest ‘fuck you’ from fate. But it’s not because I dislike you. It’s because I’m terrified of what would happen if I stopped trying to avoid you.”
“Because in real life, we don’t start out as the strongest. It’s about surviving the little battles. Once the pawn makes it to the other side, it can turn into a queen.”
“Live a messy life with me, Jax Kingston. I want chaos. I want darkness. I want sunshine and rainstorms with you. But most of all, I want you any way I can have you because I love you.”
💘when jax brought nightlight to guide elena because she is scared of the dark
“No way.” I leave the nightlight on, allowing the small light to guide me. Another nightlight is lit in a dark corner of the living room near my bedroom door.
I open my room to find another race car next to my bed. “Oh my God.” Multiple nightlights offer me guidance toward my bathroom, where I find the final lit nightlight.”
💘when jax spent time with his biggest fan caleb and planned a prom for him and his friends because they’ll never attend a real prom (the whole caleb and jax moments were so adorable)
💘when jax and caleb took elena on a date and caleb got her some roses trying to beat jax into dating her THAT WAS SO CUTE
💘when elena danced with caleb in the rain please they are so adorable i love them so much
“I grab onto his hand and drag him into the storm. The rain beats against our skin as I play a random song on my phone. Caleb grabs my hand and spins me around.”
💘when jax took elena into the balacony and showed her the hot-air balloons similar to the ones drawn on her puzzle
💘when jax played the song elena’s mom used to play for her when she was younger on the piano
“The melody wraps around us as I play the song for her again. When I get to the second chorus, I amp it up, adding more notes. My fingers dance across the keys as Elena watches me.
I only ever perform in front of Mum, but playing for Elena is invigorating. A moment I want to keep, unwilling to part ways with cheering her up. To erase the pain in her face even if it’s only for a few minutes.”
💘when jax planned a fundraiser to help people with alzheimer’s disease in honor of elena’s grandma and he let elena do the makeup challenge on him as she used to watch on youtube
💘when they were playing escape room in the dark (with liam noah sophie and maya) and elena was scared of the dark
“She clutches onto my hand, seeking comfort. Before Elena, I’ve never been that for someone. More importantly, I’ve never wanted to be that for someone. But with Elena, these moments fill me with a sensation I’ve never experienced before. It should frighten me, yet I feel invigorated to have her trust”
“Elena Gonzalez, I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, no matter the place, the time, the issues. You’re the hero in our story, willing to stand by my side, no matter how dark the future looks. All I want to do is make you mine, forever and always. No take backs.”
“No take backs, not even a single moment. Not in your darkest time or your hardest day. I’ll love you through it all.”
