goodreads...
A missed first encounter…
Colliding with a second chance…
On the heels of graduating college and trying to cope with her mother’s
death, Emily Cooper moves to New York City for a fresh start.
While harboring secrets of his own, Dillon Parker takes care of Emily
through her grief. Knowing he can’t live without her by his side, he’s sweet,
thoughtful, and everything Emily has ever wanted in a man.
Until she meets Gavin Blake—a rich and notorious playboy who is dangerously
sexy and charming as hell. Emily tries to deny the instant connection she
feels, but Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome is not inclined to let go so easily.
Recovering from his own painful past, Gavin will stop at nothing to win Emily
over.
This unexpected encounter compels Emily to question her decisions, forcing
her to make a choice that will destroy friendships, shatter hearts, and forever
change her life.
My take...
I came across this book thanks to a good blogger friend and soon to be
published author extraordinaire, Heather Gunter. She said Gail would be one of
those authors to watch out for...and by golly she was right. I have been itching
to read this book for some time now and so I just decided to go ahead and buy
it. And I am so glad I did. I mean everywhere I turned people were saying
"Read COLLIDE"..."You gotta read COLLIDE". So I did and I
loved it. Oh boy did I love it.
Many, many, many times I caught myself silently screaming (hey, don't want
to scared the kiddo do we?) at Gavin, Emily, and a whole lot at Dillon. I even
had to stop reading to tweet how much I would’ve loved to deck him in his sack
due to my obvious hatred of him. He is vile and evil and unfortunately there
are people just like him out there tracking down their next victim. Another
unfortunate fact is there are other “Emily’s” out there with issues so deep
they willingly let them in…unaware of the person’s true intent.
But lets look at the bright side of the story shall we? Gavin…Mr. Tall,
Dark, and Effable Handsome. Women wanted him and men wanted to be him. But
there was only one girl he wanted and unfortunately she has a boyfriend. But
Lord help him, if he doesn’t try to win her heart and make her see that he is
the one she should be with. I am sorry, but I would have dropped doucher Dillon
at a moment’s notice to be with the likes of Gavin Blake.
COLLIDE is a fabulous story that was fast paced, intense, and full of
steamy romance. Oh did I mention the author leaves us hanging with one heck of a cliffhanger? Yeah she did. And I will be getting it the minute it comes available. Fans of Georgia Cate’s BEAUTY FROM PAIN will adore the crap out
of this one. I promise!
