About this listen

Collide is the first book in the Off the Ice series

'Equal parts spicy and sweet' Peyton Corinne, author of Unsteady

When Summer Preston’s professor issues her with an ultimatum, she finds herself on an unexpected collision course with hockey captain, Aiden Crawford.

Summer hates everything about hockey, for good reason, but she isn’t going to let that stand in the way of her becoming a sports psychologist.

Aiden loves being the hockey captain, except when his team’s reckless mistakes risk jeopardizing their entire season. When coach puts him forward for a research paper as punishment, he has no choice but to accept.

Summer can't stand his blasé approach to life, and Aiden doesn't understand her uptight, scheduled one. They are off to a rocky start, and provoking each other – it turns out – is what they do best.

But losing isn't something either of them does well. Maybe there’s a way for both of them to win?

Now with a never-before-seen bonus scene from Summer and Aiden’s love story as well as an extract from the next book in the Off the Ice series. Find out which of your favourite characters from Collide will be featured next!

REALLY enjoyed this story, and I LOVED south asian representation! +The story has nice spice!✨Its like icebreaker but better, and with better side characters! The story's initial plot gets lost and forgotten, but still enjoyable non the less!
Good performance also! What could have been better is if Summers' lines were not told by a male voice trying to imitate a female voice and the same the otherway around with Aiden, vice versa.

Icebreaker but much better!

wish I hadn't spent a credit on this, as someone who has enjoyed other books of this genre, I was disappointed

boring, badly written

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I wish I liked it but I honestly had to power through so many times not to give up. The main character Summer is awful, I get that whole strong independent woman vibe but she’s just rude, bratty and in my opinion totally undeserving of the love she gets from the MMC and friends. Rolled my eyes a lot! Its way too long considering basically nothing happens the entire time. I’m intrigued by the characters in the other books so I may try them as long as they’re not as unlikeable as summer!

There is probably 100 hockey romance books I’d recommend over this one sorry!

That being said the narrators are great!

Truly unlikable FMC
