Collide with Me

The Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers, Book 7

By: Claudia Burgoa

Narrated by: Natalie Naudus, Aaron Shedlock

USA Today best-selling author Claudia Burgoa continues a romantic comedy series of enemies who become lovers. A romance where opposites attract and being different leads to falling in love.

I love routine. Schedules. Stability.

And I’m about to travel across the country with an actual chicken and the one man who I would schedule a root canal to avoid.

How did this happen? Let me back up.

My mom had one final request of me before she died: to spread her ashes around the country while I completed her bucket list.

It won’t be easy, but I want to honor her wishes. However, I need some help (and I absolutely hate that).

I don’t have a license—or a car—and I need someone to drive who won’t mind my mom’s chicken, Hennifer Aniston, on board. My options have been narrowed to one person: Harold Aldridge-Sanders.

I have no interest in hanging out with the spontaneous, easy-going bad-boy of New York. But he’s my only hope.

I’m dreading being in a car with Harold’s free spirit for a couple of weeks. Throw in the chicken, and this is bound to be a disaster.

Except that I forgot that opposites don’t just attract—they make sparks fly.

Collide with Me is a sexy and steamy romance. It’s part of the Baker’s Creek Billionaire Brothers: Aldridge-Sanders series. Enjoy this small-town romance where being different means your pieces fit just right and coming back home means a new beginning.

Emotional and heartwarming

I have read many of Ms Burgoa’s books and this one did not disappoint me. She has a way of writing that brings the characters to life and makes them real.

This story is about two people that appear to be very different from each other. One is easy going and adventurous and the other uptight and is anxious about everything and needing to be perfect.

Hutch and Amber’s journey with her mother’s chicken is funny and emotional. Hutch helps bring a whole different world to Amber, and we learn that Hutch is more than he seems.

A short book for a credit but I enjoyed it!

Loved it

When I heard that there were going to be more books in this series I was thrilled. Now it’s time to get to know the Sanders side of the family. This is Hutcheson (Hutch) Sanders and Amber Livingstone’s story, throw in a neurotic chicken named Hennifer Aniston and I could not wait to read.

This can be read as a stand alone but if you haven't read any of the other books in this series I would recommend you do. It will give you that much more understanding and enjoyment, but that is just my opinion.

Needing to set out on a road trip from coast to coast, to tick off items on a bucket list, Amber, with her mother’s chicken, needs a driver.; that’s where Hutch comes in when he offers his series.
Listening to the narration by Aaron Shedlock and Natalie Naudus was a pleasure. Their voices are easy to listen to and they certainly brought the story and the characters to life for me.
I loved this entertaining, witty story and the road trip with a chicken (of all things) really added to my enjoyment. The growth of both Hutch and Amber as their relationship developed was heart warming. I loved Hutch, he is totally swoon worthy and I loved how he brought Amber out of her shell.
The connection they forged was intense and I loved their journey as they fell in love. A beautifully written, romantic, witty story that ticked every box for me.

Story is just ok

Normally love everything by Claudia Burgoa , but the story is just boring. The characters are likable enough but the story just meanders and goes really nowhere.

It is only slightly related to other books in the series, and a few of the characters from the other books make cameo appearances in this installment, but the story is so short that there is no time to develop a good connection to any of the characters.

Narration is good so there's that....😐
