What do you do when the guy you’re in love with is seeing someone else?
What do you do when the guy you’re in love with is seeing someone else?
That’s the dilemma facing Paige Taylor. All of her life she’s only ever had eyes for the gorgeous Alec Wright, but despite their undeniable chemistry, their timing has always been off. Fast approaching her thirtieth birthday, Paige despairs of ever finding love and a happy ever after. Her best friend Poppie tells her that she can either watch life pass her by, or grab it with both hands. She convinces Paige to throw herself back into the dating pool, or she could be waiting for Alec forever.
What Paige didn’t expect was the catalogue of dating disasters to follow. A neck brace, jelly fish, stitches, flashing and an encounter with a gorilla were some of the most memorable. Despite some downright hilarious, humiliating and cringe worthy dates, her biological clock is ticking and Paige is determined to keep trying until she finds the one. Was Alec Wright always her Mr. Right, or is he still out there waiting to be found?
Join Paige in her quest to find the ultimate prize. Love.
Charlotte Fallowfield's alter ego, C.J. Fallowfield, is an Amazon bestselling author of contemporary humorous erotic romantic fiction.
I knew right away when I saw the fun and quirky cover for Until We Collide that it was a book I'd want to add to my TBR list and the blurb only further cemented it as a must read for me. As soon as I received a copy (ARC for honest review) I dived right in and could not put my kindle down, except for in the moments where I needed a glass of water from laughing so hard I was practically choking.
Paige has some seriously bad luck when it comes to dating. Her first ever real crush became a mutual infatuation that was never able to fully flourish into the kind of relationship both parties wanted at certain times, because their lives kept running on different paths. It lead to difficulty in being able to fully connect with other partners as there was always the lingering what ifs. Although she was struggling to move on it didn't stop Paige from trying and man oh man were some of her dates absolute disasters, but also terribly funny.
There were times I almost wanted to cover my face and read through a slight gap between my fingers because of the circumstances that poor Paige ended up in at the most embarrassing of times, but instead I'd only end up wiping tears, the result of uncontrollable laughter, away. Not only did I laugh with the clumsiness and comical misfortunes that occurred on dates for the MC, I also really enjoyed the banter between characters throughout the story, it was both smart and witty.
The best friend Poppie definitely helped to bring out the brighter side of some of the most awkward of times, her sense of humour was definitely a highlight. Alec, the main love interest, managed to bring light to the story too, though I will admit I wish we saw a little more of his character. We saw a lot of his profession and travel through the eyes of Paige, however I kind of wanted a little more conversation, because glimpses of what there was left me wanting more.
Although i would liked to have seen more of Alec's personality through his own words, there were still enough thoughts and feeling described to believe the depth of the connection between him and Paige, so much so that it had me wishing that they could find their way back to each other. They both seemed so lost without the other, even though there were moments they tried hard to hide it, it was impossible for everyone close to them not to notice the longing they still held in their hearts. The joy when they were together, was pure magic.
Sometimes it can be tough to find a book that makes you laugh so hard that you're clutching at your sides, wiping your eyes and trying not to snort between giggles, as everyone's humour is different. However I have no doubt that many readers will be in stitches reading the antics of Paige Taylor, as there are so many hilarious situations she gets herself into that it made it purely impossible not to laugh. A book I'll be recommending to anyone who needs a good laugh with a side of sweet.
5/5 ❤️s
