Sweet Collide

By: Ava Harrison

Narrated by: Christian Fox, Angelina Rocca

From USA Today bestselling author Ava Harrison comes a new standalone hockey romance.

Aiden Slate.
Pro hockey star. Captain of the Redville Saints. And the bane of my existence.

All it takes is a little liquid courage to storm his castle.
Or, in this case, a cushy five-star hotel suite.

I'm supposed to give him a piece of my mind.
To unleash a decade of pent-up anger.

What I'm not supposed to do is sign an NDA meant for another woman.

He thinks I'm here to relieve his stress.
Well, he's in for a rude awakening.

Problem #1? The boy I grew up with doesn't remember me.
Problem #2? I fall to my knees at his command. Literally.

Next thing I know, I agree to be his fake girlfriend.
He doesn't realize I'm the girl he left behind ten years ago.
The last thing I'll do is admit it.

Because Aiden might have abandoned me all those years ago.
But me? I'll forever be his.

Beautiful story of personal growth

You fall in love with both characters as they grow up, grow together, and overcome adversity.

Aiden and Pip Forever!!!!

Aiden & Pippa found each other when they need each other the most, the type of bond that is unbreakable. The two come from rocky childhoods and trauma bond, while having big dreams to escape the lives they are living. Aiden’s talents on the ice lead him to be the star NHL player , while it seems he has it all. He’s still dealing with his own issues and trauma from the past. When Pippa “Cassidy” shows up at his hotel room one night, hiding her identity and hoping to find closure. What was suppose to be one night, turns into fake dating and the two uncovering secrets, and healing on their journey while also getting a second chance at love.

The way I was milking this book, I didn’t want to finish it because I love these characters so much.

First, this isn’t your average Hockey book. It’s packed with so much depth and emotional trauma between the Aiden and “Pip”/Cassidy that you literally feel so invested in their individual stories from start to finish. When the first secret was revealed, it made me so relieved and I love how it didn’t change the way Aiden felt for her. When the second secret was revealed, my heart was shook. I am so happy with how it ended , and literally feel these two are the definition of “soulmates”.

I couldn’t get enough of sexy Aiden. Oh my gosh, the “crawl to me’s”, “good girl”, and “mine” made me blush! Whew! Especially coming from him, I love an MMC who is quiet, mysterious and a little damaged.

Ava did an incredible job at dealing with such emotional topics and was so sensitive in telling this story. I loved how Aiden handled the response to his reveal of his rituals. And especially how “Pip”/Cassidy was the one to help him with normalizing and accepting him for who he is.

I listened to the audiobook for the last half of this book and thought the performance was done really well!

1-17 so far I like the general premise although fake dating is one of my least favorite tropes. It’s a lot of talking and second guessing

One bed

Probably 3rd act breakup
Ch 29 threatened by manager to come clean

Dumb arguments

Leaving in the end without explanation

Weird plot information at the second to last chapter
Big plot events last chapter
Whiplash last chapter

They get their HEA but this book needed some major editing help
