Riley Hart
At 10 years old, Noah Jameson and Cooper Bradshaw collided midair when they dove for the same football. For three years they were inseparable...until one day when Noah and his parents disappeared in the middle of the night.
Noah and Cooper never knew what happened to each other. Now, 17 years later, after finding his boyfriend in bed with another man, Noah returns to Blackcreek looking for a fresh start. And damned if he doesn't find his old friend grew up to be as sexy as sin.
Coop can't believe Noah - the only person he trusted with the guilt over his parents' death - is back. And gay. Or that Cooper himself suddenly wants another man in his bed for the first time. There's no denying the attraction and emotion between them, but can they overcome the ghosts of their pasts to have a future together?

But it has a good beginning and a strong ending, and that ending makes up for a lot of the middle. The characters are interesting, and the plot is good. It just needed about 5 chapters worth of repetition, sex, repetition, will-they-or-won't-they, and repetition cut out of it by an editor for the pacing to not drag constantly. Or perhaps it needed its subplot explored more in the middle.
The narrator was excellent, and his story telling was the only reason I managed to keep going to the end. He does excellent voices for the characters, including switching it up for the flash backs, which I appreciated greatly. And he only cracked up once during his reading!
Good performance, story needs an editor

Collide is fantastic. Well written and everything you need and want in a romance!!!! The feels, the chemistry, the longing...Sigh! Don't even get me started on the self doubt, the insecurities. These two are real, sexy, and unfortunately not interested in what I have to offer! Lol.
Riley Hart has given Black Creek and epic start. I am absolutely going to devour the rest of this series as fast as I can download them!
Did I mention, Cooper is a hot fireman...? Oh sorry, and that Noah, is former military... Now you're starting to picture it. Instead of imagining all the hot, delectable things and the intense chemistry, rough hands....Just buy it!!!!
what a collision!!!

Okay, mixed feelings, alert!
Collide is such a classic, old-school GFY story that it's a wonder I've never read it before. I'm hit or miss with Riley Hart, but lately I've been enjoying her work and this one was no different.
Honestly, you can tell that this is a rougher, older story. I listened in audio, but the book struggles with awkward phrasing, too many flashbacks (a pet-peeve of mine), and a dude-bro, VERY fantasy-level GFY (one of those where the guy insists he would *never, ever* be attracted to another guy except his love). As I'm matured in my reading tastes, I've come to prefer my sexuality discovery stories to be more of a... discovery, a transition into a more fluid sexuality or at least more of a realistic one. I think more of a passing acknowledgement of bisexuality would have been warranted.
Still... I can't deny that I found this book to be hot as hell. It really ticked a lot of my boxes, and though the story had some iffy moments, if a jaded romance reader like myself can find something scorching hot, well, that's saying something.
Listening to the story in audio certainly helped because Luke Itzvic was a very good narrator, and that way I'm sure I missed many of the grammatical errors that plague early Riley Hart books. I'd listen to another book by this narrator any day of the week.
No, this book doesn't rank high on the believably scale, but I'm glad I finally took a chance on this older M/M book. It brought the heat and it left me feeling happy, which is all I could have asked for.
Hot story! Classic GFY.
