Collide

De: Bal Khabra

Narrado por: Julia Knippen, Max Meyers

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

She’s an honors student with ambitious graduate school plans and he’s a jock with only hockey on his mind, but once their worlds collide, their connection is hot enough to melt an ice rink.

An ultimatum from Summer Preston’s thesis advisor thrusts her into an unexpected collision with the hockey team’s captain, Aiden Crawford. She’s caught between conflicting desires of fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a sport psychologist and staying as far away as possible from the god-awful sport. And once she meets Aiden—well, let’s just say he confirms all her worst assumptions about hockey players.

Being the captain of the college hockey team has its perks, except when a reckless mistake by Aiden’s team threatens to jeopardize their entire season. As punishment, Aiden’s coach nominates him as the subject of a student research project. Participating is the last thing he wants to do, especially since the girl leading the project looks like she could wield his skates as a weapon.

Summer can’t stand Aiden’s blasé approach to life, and Aiden doesn’t understand why she’s twenty years old with a twenty-five-year plan. But their bickering soon turns to bantering—and once they let their guards down, there’s nothing to check their feelings.

Best book yet

I e read every romance book like this one but nothing has left me speechless like this one. If you’re looking for a steamy but sweet romance and if you’re a teen read this.

Too Long

Summer is uptight and doesn’t like hockey players because of her dad. Aiden is the captain of the college hockey team, and is a playboy. She is over the top grumpy and he is equally frustrating as the reader. Neither wanted to work with each other, but they both became hot and bothered by each other. The spice was spicing. This book was just way too long.

love the project idea of it

This book is very similar to ice breaker if you liked it and the story line is cool.

Worth the read

I was a little on the fence about giving this four stars or five stars. The story is great. Aiden is truly boyfriend goals. He was so emotionally intelligent that I’m honestly a little jealous. Summer was not my favorite character for most of the book. The discussion of her daddy issues was really minimal which in hindsight now that I’m done with the book, I actually appreciate it. The daddy issues with Summer is addressed and though it doesn’t go into great detail and paint her dad in a bad light. It does show the pain there a little. The spice was great definitely 5🌶️. It was a really good book and I really enjoyed reading it

I love this

I love the story line and the chemistry between summer and aiden even before they got together

This man

This man is everything
His love is so big. I just cant believe how much he loves her and the way he looks out of his team.

It’s actually a really good book.

I will be listening and reading the second one in the series for sure. Story and spice are good.

Healed my icebreaker hangover

I could tell by the cover it would be a good read but I absolutely loved it! The chemistry was perfect, spicy scenes better than expected! I loved the two narrators Max was perfect for this role so perfect that I wish I could call him just to hear his voice 😂

Hockey romance era gold!

This book was a solid addition to my bookshelf while I am in my hockey romance era. This book was a solid four-and-a-half-star read until I reached the end and knew that five stars was the right choice after all. I initially thought that the progression of their relationship in the beginning was not very convincing but, in the end, there was no doubt about their relationship regardless of how it started. The romance and falling in love in this story was so satisfying. I thought that some of the female lead character's actions and choices were annoying but by the end, I could see that it was all part of her character development. Both main characters were so multidimensional and fleshed out with distinct personalities. I loved all of the secondary characters but admit to having trouble keeping them straight in my mind at times while reading. I really hope to see more of them in future books in this series. Overall, this book was very addicting and put a huge smile on my face. I will definitely read this author again.

The story.

I love the book and loved how it was read! 10/10 I would definitely listen to it again!
