Collide by Bal Khabra
4.0
A Wonderful Story
10/10 Pacing
The pacing was great. For a slowburn, it did not drag unnecessarily with filler scenes. As you're reading, you are identifying why certain conversations happened the way the did and things happened a certain way. Nothing is a waste of your time!
10/10 Story Arc
The entire story has many interesting themes and plots that I was genuinely invested in. I was skipping through because the narrative parts were just as valuable as the dialogues. So, it's a good story!
8/10 Character
Aiden is indeed completely enthralled by Summer and I loved it. Summer also truly falls for him but she does play with his emotions sometimes which I had an issue with. Also, there are just a few characters (about 3) that I wanted to read more about, but it's all good. It was not something major.
10/10 Inclusion of the teased tropes
The tropes mentioned in all the author's posts were on point and they can be clearly highlighted throughout the entire book.

⭐⭐⭐⭐:
It took me a few days to finish this book. I started truly flying through it at about 40%. However, as mentioned above the pace was great! Something I noticed in the first half of the book is just the creativity of the author with the slowburn. Bal Khabra did amazing on that! It got so sexy and the tension was just so explosive. I was screaming, just so magnetic! The wording is so heartfelt and poetic. Not boringly and repetitively poetic, but magnetic and so intriguing. You will want to read more!
Their dynamic is electric. The way they switch
