I love emotionally destructive reading, so when Pit Stop came on my radar I thought to myself: hey this looks like a good time. I wasn't wrong. I did cry. I did hurt. Best of all, I did love! Ellis Mae's writing is phenomenal, stunning, and basically any other synonym you can think of. From the first page I was in pain in a good way (kind of). Both John and Isamu are *jazz hands* traumatized. 

It's very very very slow burn, but it's worth every single page. When they finally admit their feelings for each other it's better than a warm hug. Listen, I'm one step away from finding a run down van and falling for the grumpy, secretive mechanic that I hire to fix it. All of the little moments between John and Isamu wrecked me. I want what they have. 

Read this if you like achillean romance, traumatized™ MCs, mental health rep, strangers to friends to lovers, secret sharing, romances with dogs in them, and causing yourself to cry for days on end!
