Motocross Me (Book Review)

Motocross Me
Cheyanne Young


When Hana Fisher moves to the small town of Mixon, Texas to live with her dad, she dreads having to work at the boring pile of dirt he fondly calls a motocross track. But when she gets there, she finds the rinky-dink dirt bike track from her childhood has grown into the most respected racing track in the state.

Now popular by association, Hana endures the pain and sweat of working in the summer heat in order to fit in with a sport she’s growing to love. She gets a real family, a best friend and not just one, but two of the fastest racers trying to win her heart.

When Hana abuses her status as the track owner’s daughter to help the gorgeous Ryan Russo cheat in the biggest race of the year, she risks more than just losing her job. Every good thing in her life is at stake now- her friends, her dad’s trust, and Ash Carter- the kind-hearted racer who may not be as alluring as Ryan, but is proof that nice guys don’t always finish last.



Review:

I was hesitant starting this one.....It sounded cute, but I was unsure about it.

And I ended up reading it in one sitting.
The plot is a fresh take on contemporary, with Motocross being a big element. You don't read many books these days that have that as an big element, let alone an element at all.
The story follows a girl who has a fight with her Mom, so she decides to drive down to stay with her Dad, Stepmom, and their son for a while.
Her Dad owns one of the most successful and popular Motocross tracks around....When she gets there, her Dad offers her a job....Which she accepts right away. And soon finds herself thrown into the world of Motocross.
As original as the plot was, and as enjoyable it was to read...I had a big problem with the main character. Hana. Most of the book she was an annoying immature brat, who doesn't think about anyone but herself. She flirts with every guy that comes around. I think that the author meant to make her out to be unlikable at first, and Hana did get better within the last few pages of the book.
But there are two guys in this picture, one who is an arrogant jerk...and one who is a sincerely nice guy. Somehow the nice guy  (Ash) is attracted to Hana.....Even though Hana is a brat. This didn't add up to me.
And if you read the summary, the part about the cheating doesn't happen till near the end of the book and is actually not a big part of the story line.
The writing was good, good enough for me to look at what else Cheyanne Young has written.
I had a few problems with the plot and some big problems with the characters, but overall I though that this was a pretty good book. But I'll admit it, I enjoyed this twice as much because there was such a sweet guy in it. (3/5)
