Bloomsbury presents Collide by Bal Khabra, read by Julia Knippen and Max Meyers

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!

Equal parts spicy and sweet . . . Khabra seamlessly weaves her whip-smart banter, captivating cast of characters and laugh-out-loud humour into an endearing, timeless love story. (Peyton Corinne, author of Unsteady)
Sexy and swoony, Aiden is a perfect book boyfriend. (Avery Keelan, author of Offside)

Easy reading and just a comfort story. I could easily recommend this to anyone who wants to read a good sport romance book.

Great Sport Romance

Likeable characters, both male and female narrators excellent. Storyline predictable but enjoyable.
My only negative is why do we have to listen to a female speaking for the male characters in her chapters and vice versa. Sarah and Aidan, lead characters, are not always read by corresponding female/male. Probably finance issue but can spoil an audio book.

Easy listening
