Pine Valley is a school rich in both history and legacy and is once more opening its doors to another year of students.

Evan Shaw has wanted to be a photographer for as long as he can remember, and Pine Valley is the place to go to make that happen. What he didn't expect was to be sworn into a secret society with a dark history—or to fall in love with a man so filled with anger there might never be hope for them.

Alek Anders doesn't believe in love, nor does he have the time for it. He can't chase his dreams like all the rich college kids around him; he has his family to look after and food to keep on the table. Then comes Evan. Everything he's not, he pushes all of Alek's buttons.

Love is fickle, though, and when students start showing up dead, they will either have to work together or fall apart to discover the truth.

Can the past be undone and hope be found even in the darkness?

Can Evan and Alek withstand what Pine Valley has in store for them, or will racing hearts be all that's left?

I had a fun time listening to the audiobook narration. Both voice actors were great at bringing emotion and intensity to their performance. The banter had me cackling. The comedic timing of the voice actors was done so well I was literally laughing out loud as I was listening.

Had a fun, good time listening to the banter

I read this book as a traveling book and I am so glad I listened to the audio at the same time. They made the book even better!

These Narrators are Amazing!

💜Racing Hearts~Pine Valley College Book 1~ K.A. Knight🖤

💜Racing hearts was my second K.A. Knight book, and it did not disappoint!! The minute the audio turned on, I couldn't turn it off. I put all of my adult responsibilities to the side and devoured this book. The narration was absolutely phenomenal. Knowing this was Katie's first MM book impresses me even more because it was phenomenal!! The characters were amazing and well developed. The plot was phenomenal, and the twists and turns had me in the edge of my seat the entire book. Also, let's not forget about the spice because that was also 🥵. Alek & Evan now hold a giant place in my heart, and I'm unsure how Katie is going to top this couple for me because they were absolutely top-tier!! I can not wait for book 2 and the continuation of this series🖤

~As Always Happy Reading~

🖤Alek&Evan💜

Tbh, I got to this book in an odd way. I kept seeing things about book two in the series ( pre-release ) and added that one to my tbr. I don't know how I missed that it was book two... when I bought it, I realized it's book two and bought this one too ( and the audiobook ). God, I'm glad I didn't jump straight into book two.

Evan and Alek were an odd pair from day one, but in the best possible way. These two are so amazing together that there's no other way for them to not end up together.

Their story is not easy to navigate. They have lots of setbacks, but when they finally give into the love they feel for each other, it is absolutely infinite.

They both needed each other in order to grow, heal, and move on, but I am so glad Evan didn't give up on Alek. He needed someone to fight for him, remind him that he is important, and that he does matter. When he started to realize how loved he was, we got to see another side of Alek that was hidden under all that hurt and trauma.

This book was a perfect example of plot and spice. We got both in spades, and I loved how balanced it was.

The found family in this one is AMAZING, and I can't wait to read Sky's and Bones' book. We got hints in this one, and I'm so giddy when I think about them, but I also hope we'll see more of Evan and Alek cuz I'll miss my babies so much.

Please check the TW before starting the book since it does have some dark themes, but damn it was fantastic.

5✨️ for sure.

oh, and if you like audiobooks, listen to it. The audionook is also a 5✨️. Christian Leatherman and Emil Archer did a superb job. I'll have to check more of their work.

Wow. Loved it.

I wish Audible had a half star rating system, this was 4.5 ⭐️ read for me. This books was good, I was a little skeptical because Den of Vipers was not for me. The characters were well developed and the spice was perfect, the one thing that seemed a little crazy is the mystery/suspenseful part. It seemed like a last minute thought that was thrown in but still enjoyable.

Not what I expected

I love the whole sunshine and darkness relationship dynamic so I was immediately intrigued by this book and I absolutely loved it!! Alek is so adorable with how much he loves his sister and so funny with how protective he is of his car🤣
Alek and Evan are just the cutest couple, but I feel like their relationship went too fast. And I really didn’t like how Evan constantly said he would give Alek all the time he needs to come out as gay, but would get mad at him if Alek didn’t show any public love with him. It was really confusing, but other than that, it was a great and funny story!

Also just want to say that the narrators were incredible!!! I loved how they added real emotion into their words like crying, inhales, scoffs, whispers, etc. it really made you feel what the characters were feeling.

Funny, adorable, and shocking!

The story was more complicated than I initially thought.
The performances were TOP NOTCH.
And the spice was 🔥. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥/5
Only one small complaint - the inconsistency of the use of lube was not quite believable and made me clinch.🤭

So Much Happened

I’ve been a KA Knight fan for 6 Years or more now. I’ve read and own all of her books. I’ve also listened to almost all of her books that are on audio. All of that said reading her first MM novel was a must for me.

This books was amazing. The narrator’s were chefs kiss. I loved the story and the characters. I loved that the story wasn’t all butterflies and rainbows. It had heart, sadness, emotional growth among the characters, and spice. It hooked me in and I didn’t want to stop listening.

I’m so excited to listen to Book 2 is this stand alone interconnected series. I know there is way more to Bones and can’t wait to play his layers in the next book.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who love a good Dark MM Romance. Please pay attention to the TW if some content are an issue for you.

Wow! Absolutely loved this book!
