�� *Book Review* ��

Just finished *Collide* by Bal Khbara and I’m absolutely in love! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was such a fantastic read—I loved every single second of it! As someone who’s usually not a big fan of sports romance, *Collide* completely flipped my perspective. Aiden and this story have me officially head over heels for the genre, and now I’m so excited to dive into more books in this series. There are so many characters I’m dying to know more about!

Here’s a quick rundown: Summer and Aiden are forced to spend time together—she’s writing a research paper, and he’s the captain of his hockey team, taking the fall for his team’s mistakes. Summer *hates* hockey, and Aiden is a golden boy, living up to his “bad boy” reputation. But their dynamic is a fun twist on the classic grumpy/sunshine trope. Summer is all business, and Aiden is just *too* good to be true. Their slow-burn chemistry is electric, but it’s Summer’s resistance to admitting she’s falling for him that makes it so much more rewarding in the end.

Aiden was definitely my favorite character. His actions and words just *spoke* to me. There’s something about his vulnerability that made him irresistible. And the slow burn? Absolutely worth it. I just couldn’t get enough of these two!

If you’re a fan of sports romance or looking for a heartwarming, slow-burn read, I highly recommend *Collide*. It’s got everything—sparks, tension, and a swoon-worthy hero you’ll be rooting for from start to finish.
