How It Rolls by Lila FelixGoodreads | Amazon
Despite the odds, Reed Wolfe is making it, by the skin of her teeth. Her dreams and aspirations will have to wait until she can get on her feet. Because right now she’s homeless and churning on a downward spiral.Review:
Falcon Black is existing. Not living, not thriving, just jutting along a path. But when he finds Reed, he can’t resist the urge to help her, lighten her load. But Falcon tends to go overboard, over the line, crossing boundaries he never thought he would and risking her trust in the process.
Can she accept his love or will it end up smothering her?
Derby Girls + Black Brothers = Love & SWOON
Falcon is like a walking irony. He is so responsible and suit-like (is that a word? am I turning into Nellie?) but then he also has piercings, tattoo sleeves, and a mohawk. I seriously couldn't help but SWOON every other page for this man! He seriously has the best heart ever and his intentions are so sweet. All he wants to do is take care of the ones that he loves which unfortunately for them pushes them away sometimes. I guess lucky for him he finds that perfect girl that really needs taken care of.
Reed (yep that's the girl's name) is really left broken. She was a orphaned at a young age and didn't have much luck in the foster care system. She was left homeless but has to much pride to admit it to anyone. She is also one kick-a$$ derby girl but with Orange hair!
Falcon and Reed have such a great relationship. They both need someone to care for and for someone to care for them. Together they make this book full of clean, swoony romance! You can't help but root for them while they are both holding back their secrets.
This review just wouldn't be complete without me mentioning how I love the family. Everyone has a role and they are all so accepting of each other. They are also so supportive. In Love & Skate Falcon was really supportive of Nellie and they became best friends and now Reed and Maddox are best friends. I mean can you say best brother-in-laws EVER! I can't help but love Sylvia, the mom, she is just the momma bear of the family.
The ending was a little off for me. I felt like it ended really abruptly and I was left wanting a lot more of Falcon and Reed!
Thank goodness that there is a 3rd book because my craving for the Black brothers has not been satisfied. And that teaser of Down N' Derby at the end of the book KILLER! I need it like yesterday!
I loved How It Rolls just as much as Love & Skate and encourage any fans of the series to read this one too and any new comers to pick these up!

Love and Skate by Lila FelixGoodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble
On the rink she’s tough, she’s a leader, she’s fast and she’s the epitome of a rebellious girl. But Nellie’s been hurt, only once, but it was enough to make her look at life through different eyes and off the rink she’s a timid girl who loves with no pretenses.
A long time ago Owen Black was betrayed by the girl he thought he loved and the guy he called his best friend. The anguish set off a domino effect of negativity in his life and he never has fully recovered. He meets Nellie Forrester and thinks he can let it go for her.
But how can you love someone when the wounds from your past are still wide open?

No I've never been to a roller derby match, but after reading love and skate, I think it would be fun to watch one. I used to love skating when I was younger!
