The Way We Collide follows Hendrix Bradford, professional football player, and meteorologist storm chaser, Raven Gale. They meet at a wedding and spend a hot and heavy night. This surprise baby, marriage of convenience, Football/sports romance will capture your heart. I loved how cute Haddy and Hendrix are together. The first time he experiences changing a diaper is just too funny. I was dying. I was just chortling and had to wipe tears from my eyes. The way Hendrix loves Haddie (after the initial shock wears off from finding out he’s a dad) just warms my heart. Reading Hendrix and Raven figuring out parenthood while falling in love will make you swoon. 

Stephanie Kay is a new to me narrator. Initial impression is that I’m impressed. I totally forgot it’s Duet!!! So, I was pleasantly surprised. Stephanie does a great job with all the different character voices. I absolutely love her voice for Haddie and Kimmie. 

Aaron Shedlock narrates as Hendrix and the male characters. The high pitched voice he uses when talking to Haddy had me chuckling. The first time he experiences changing a diaper is just too funny. You can feel their emotions with the voice changes in tone and pitch.

Overall, I just had a great time reading The Way We Collide. You can read this as a standalone but truly appreciate all the characters if you read the rest of the series. 

Thank you to Home Cooked Books for the ALC that I voluntarily reviewed.
