Description:
Their lives were destined to collide. Juliette Salinger lives her life entirely on her mother’s terms. Everything from what she wears to who she dates is determined by what is deemed appropriate for their social standing.
Look a little closer.
Juliette isn’t cut out for that life. She lives for moments of reckless abandon to escape the crushing pressure of never being good enough.
Leo Ashlar appears to live his life entirely on his own terms. He’s a bartending bachelor and undefeated fight club champion.
Look a little closer.
He’s haunted by a tragic past and hides his demons even from those he loves.
When Juliette’s duplicit worlds collide with the handsome and untouchable Leo, both are impacted in ways they couldn’t foresee. Juliette’s life begins to unravel. Can Leo help her build a new one, or will his past be their ultimate demise?
Review:
I started this book not knowing anything about the author, I hadn't read the blurb, I just loved the cover and had to read it. Well, I'm so glad I did. This book was fantastic!
I am normally a reader that reads a couple of chapters a night and it takes me a few days or a week to read 1 book. Not Collision! I devoured this book in one sitting, I literally couldn't put it down. It's one of those books that you fall in love with the characters, they intrigue you and you want/need to know more.
Leo and Jules are superb main characters. I felt for Jules. She had to put on a different personality when she was with her family and so called boyfriend to keep everyone happy, while really, she is a strong minded, determined woman that deserves a whole lot better than that poor excuse for a boyfriend.
Now, let me tell you about Leo. I was drawn to him straight away. He was so strong, but had a heart of gold deep down inside. Leo is very protective of those that he cares about, and he is instantly protecting Jules from the first time they meet.
There are a couple of villains in the book, namely Jules'
boyfriend 'Richard' and Jules' mother. I wanted to punch them both they made me so angry, I was ready to throw my kindle at the wall!
Collision is a book so well written, I could picture the scenery as they drove through the Yarra Valley, I could feel all the emotions, the frustration, the love the connections. It had all the feels and I was invested in it from the first chapter. It also had a twist at the end that I didn't see coming and I am really looking forward to the second book coming out. I'll say it is a 'sort of' cliffhanger. Don't let the word cliffhanger deter you, because it isn't a traditional cliffy. It is actually very well done, because I was so happy with the ending, but it also made me excited for the next book.
You won't be disappointed with 'Collision'
If this is only the authors second ever published book, I can't wait
to see what else she has planned, because I absolutely loved it. Beautifully written and I'm sure you'll her a lot more from this wonderful author.
Bravo KA Sterritt!
