Publisher's summary
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.

Story
I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

Story
A forbidden romance with my brother’s hockey teammate wasn’t on my to-do list when I moved across the country… Neither was getting locked out of a friend’s place wearing next to nothing. Or spending the night with the sexy stranger who rescues me. But I’m trying to get out of my comfort zone so getting out of the rest of my clothes with him seems like a good way to start. In the morning, I learn the filthy-mouthed man with the talented hands is not only the hotshot new hockey player on my brother’s team: he’s also–wait for it–my brand new roommate.

Easton Hayes has been my knight in shining hockey skates since he saved my life. This devastatingly handsome grump may be everyone's favorite goalie, but to me, he's my strength when demons haunt my dreams. And okay—so maybe he's also the only man I've ever loved. But he doesn't need to know that. We're friends. It works for us.

Knox Holland is in a jam. After an incredible first year on the pro motocross circuit, he should be on top of the world. Instead, his bad reputation has landed him without a team. He's untouchable and desperate to turn it around. Which is how he ends up at my gym asking me to train him. As a college gymnast with two Olympic medals to my name, I know a thing or two about the pressure to succeed. Last season I choked and then injured myself before I could show the world that I'm not a twenty-year-old has-been.

For a long time now, I’ve despised Weston Shaw. He’d been someone I’d admired, taking my favorite football team, the Colorado Mustangs, to the Super Bowl. But that all turned upside down after one night that had nothing to do with me. We share one undeniable connection: his son, Caleb. Unfortunately, the circumstances behind that have never been my story to tell. But now, the truth is out, and I’m left to deal with the consequences. I’m living under the same roof as Weston, and each day, I discover a side of him I never expected.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house. He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack. Until he sees me shatter. Because when my world comes crashing down around me, Anson is the one catching me as I fall.

I should have known everything was going to change when she walked into my tattoo shop... Timid as hell and gorgeous to the extreme. I knew better than even thinking about touching a woman like that. My life is dangerous. My calling wicked. Willing to cross any line to protect the innocent. I thought I’d never see her again until my little boy tumbled and busted his lip, and I found her working at the doctor’s office. The woman who’d taken possession of my thoughts. When it becomes clear she’s in trouble, I offer up a deal.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Never did I think it would lead me straight into the arms of a serial killer. When the magazine I worked for sent me to write a piece on The Elysian, and the recluse architect who created it, I didn’t know what to expect. It certainly wasn’t him. He was supposed to be cold and cruel, but to me, he was Intoxicating. Magnetic. And impossible to quit. The deeper I fell, the harder it became to ignore a voice inside my head telling me that death followed Cain. I wanted to be wrong. Maybe it was all in my head. But I needed to find the answers. Nothing prepared me for what I found….

Eight years ago, I gave Grayson Price a piece of my heart. To him, I was the strange girl whose mom had just abandoned her.

By the time he found out, it was too late. We tried to deny our desire, but our attraction was too enticing.

I caught her staring at me from across the quad, eyes fixed on the football jersey stretched across my wide chest. And if I flexed my muscles, showing off the strength of a defensive tackle, it was just to see her blush. And then she did, and I couldn’t get her out of my mind. Her wide eyes. The freckles on her cheeks. I needed to know her. The girl who scampered away every time we bumped into each other—by accident and by design.

From USA Today bestseller Ava Harrison comes a sexy new standalone romance novel. I needed to get away. My ex was getting married. So, I left. The English countryside was a picture-perfect escape. The dashing stranger an even better one. And what started as a chance encounter quickly became more. He promised to show me how to live, how to feel alive and forget a past best forgotten. He made me believe things could be different. That was until I found out who he was...he was Oliver Blackthorn. The 16th Earl of Lockhart. Thirty-third in line to the throne. And a liar.

cute & emotional hockey romance
I love a hockey romance. Add in a second chance, hidden identity, and mental health rep (OCD), this has a lot of great tropes & moments. I really loved both the MCs and their backstories. Their bond is undeniable. In my opinion, this could've been shorter. Some parts felt a little repetitive at times and something that just didn't hit for me fully. If you like spice, you will definitely be satisfied and the dirty mouth on the MMC is chef's kiss. The undeniable chemistry between Cassidy & Aiden helped propel the story forward, but I sometimes wanted to fast forward to just get to the end.
I listened to this one and enjoyed the performances by Christian Fox & Angelina Rocca. I'm not sure if the performances enhanced the story but for me, it made the flow of this story better than if I would've read it. I am curious if we are going to see some of the other characters in future books as found family element is strong here. Definitely wouldn't mind revisiting this world in the future.

What a rollercoaster!
Cassidy and Aiden were the only light in each others’ childhoods. She helped him escape hoping he’d come back for her. Years later, fate brings them together again but he doesn’t recognize her. It doesn’t stop her from wanting to be near him again. Together they are the balm to each others’ broken souls. When the truth comes out, will the lies and secrets keep them apart?
This story was so full of tragedy and compassion, strength and redemption. I was hooked!
Angelina Rocca & Christian Fox were fantastic in this audio! They both channelled every emotion from the story and poured them into their performances! So, so good!

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.
✨R E V I E W ✨
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!
You’ll love this if you enjoy:

Not your average hockey romance
My heart… I loved this audiobook! The vocals were perfect and conveyed the emotions so well. I loved the twists and turns and I finished the book so quickly because it had me locked in! The characters were deep and complicated while still being lovable and relatable. So many hockey books have the player as a wealthy playboy and Aiden was just simply not that. Pip/Cassidy was so strong yet soft and loving. I will definitely be reading more book by Ava Harrison!

Emotional, childhood best friends to lovers romance
Oh. My. Goodness. If you're looking for a book that will grab your heart, squeeze it tight, and then give it a slow, sweet release, Sweet Collide by Ava Harrison is the one for you!
Let’s dive into this whirlwind of emotions, shall we? Picture this: Aiden and Pippa (or Cassidy, as she goes by now) were childhood besties, connected by their rough home lives and a bond that felt unbreakable. But life has a funny way of testing even the strongest ties. When Aiden gets a chance to escape his nightmare of a life and chase his dreams at a hockey tryout, it’s Pippa who helps him get there with her last bit of money. And what does Aiden do? He promises he’ll come back for her. But *spoiler alert*—he doesn’t. He leaves Pip behind to fend for herself with a deadbeat dad and a whole lot of hurt.
Fast forward to now: Pippa’s grown up and goes by Cassidy. She’s toughened up, survived more than anyone should, and is just trying to make it through college. But life isn’t done throwing curveballs her way. She’s lost her job, lost her home, and is crashing on her bestie’s couch. And then, as if the universe wants to stir the pot a little more, she sees Aiden—the Aiden—on TV, now a star hockey player.
Does Cassidy let sleeping dogs lie? Of course not! She hatches a plan to confront him, because let’s be real, if you can’t scream at your childhood love for ghosting you, what’s the point? But when she shows up, ready to give him a piece of her mind, she walks into something totally unexpected—Aiden’s expecting someone for a *ahem* one-night stand. Talk about awkward! But Cassidy, being the queen she is, decides to roll with it and pretends to be the woman Aiden’s waiting for. One night together should help her get him out of her system, right? Oh, if only it were that simple!
Aiden, who is struggling with some pretty severe mental health issues, is completely thrown by Cassidy's unexpected appearance. But here’s the twist—Cassidy has this calming effect on him, helping him manage his OCD and the chaos in his mind. So much so that Aiden, in all his emotionally messed-up glory, offers her a job as his personal assistant/fake girlfriend. No funny business, just a way to keep him grounded during the high-pressure playoffs. But, you guessed it—their chemistry is off the charts, and neither can deny what’s happening between them.
Ava Harrison does an amazing job of weaving together Aiden and Cassidy’s heartbreaking past with their sizzling present. The way they reconnect is so raw and real—you’ll be cheering for them to get their happily ever after from the moment they meet again. And trust me, the tension between them is enough to keep you hooked until the very last page.
🎧
Christian Fox and Angelina Rocca are fantastic as the narrators of Sweet Collide. Christian Fox makes the angst that Aiden feels with his mental health and the agony of regret that he continually fights feel so real. I recommend experiencing this book through audio.

It started out well...
The first half of the book isn't bad, but it seems to start dragging after that. The big drama with Aiden's compulsions is kind of pointless imo.
Christian Fox was very enjoyable to listen to, but Angelina Rocca was not.
Only recommend if it's free.

The book is okay, it’s kinda predictable; I figured out the story line by the 5th chapter. I did enjoy the narrators, they did very well.
