About this item

From USA Today bestselling author Ava Harrison comes a new standalone hockey romance.

Aiden Slate.
Pro hockey star. Captain of the Redville Saints. And the bane of my existence.

All it takes is a little liquid courage to storm his castle.
Or, in this case, a cushy five-star hotel suite.

I’m supposed to give him a piece of my mind.
To unleash a decade of pent-up anger.

What I’m not supposed to do is sign an NDA meant for another woman.

He thinks I’m here to relieve his stress.
Well, he’s in for a rude awakening.

Problem #1? The boy I grew up with doesn’t remember me.
Problem #2? I fall to my knees at his command. Literally.

Next thing I know, I agree to be his fake girlfriend.
He doesn't realize I’m the girl he left behind ten years ago.
The last thing I'll do is admit it.

Because Aiden might have abandoned me all those years ago.
But me? I’ll forever be his.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024
    This book was so good! I love a broken character who succeeds in his career and gives back to kids like him. Aidan was this character. He grew up in a horrible environment, getting verbally abused by his mom everyday and getting told he's worthless. He had one shining light, his best friend Pippa. She had equal of similar situation as him. They grew up together, helping each other forget about their problems and when the time came for Aidan to chase his dreams, Pippa gave him the help to make it happen. Fast forward to the present, He's made a name for himself in Hockey but he keeps a lot of his life in secret. He has quirks and likes to have certain things for him on game day. When he gets to wound up, his agent suggests he lets off some steam. Enter Cassidy
    Pippa aka Cassidy, is a strong woman, who has some pain and secrets of her own. She has moved away but the past is still over her head. Taking a chance to see Aidan changes her life for the good. She gets to see him in a different light and helps him cope with the quirks he has. She's the calm he's been searching for.
    This book has some very sweet moments in it and has some healing these two characters desperately need. The author handles the abuse and quirks with care and brings forth real characters that you feel their pain and rejoice with them when they pass a hurdle. I was so hooked on this book and need more!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Sweet and Sizzling Second-Chance Hockey Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2024
    Sweet Collide is a fantastic blend of second-chance romance and fake-dating fun, with just the right amount of spice and emotional depth. Aiden Slate, the brooding hockey captain, and the fiery heroine share a complicated history that creates plenty of tension and chemistry from the start.

    The premise is both amusing and heartfelt—confronting your childhood crush, only for him not to recognize you, and then ending up as his fake girlfriend? Cue the drama, banter, and unexpected feelings! Aiden’s gradual realization of who she is, paired with the heroine’s struggle to guard her heart, made for a satisfying emotional journey.

    The hockey backdrop added an exciting layer, and the story expertly balanced humor, swoon-worthy moments, and the lingering pain of their past. Aiden is a compelling hero, flawed but ultimately lovable, while the heroine’s strength and vulnerability make her easy to root for.

    If you love fake-dating, second-chance romances with a hockey twist and plenty of heat, Sweet Collide is a must-read. Ava Harrison delivers a page-turner that will leave you smiling!

    This book was so so sweet, and I enjoyed the ride of Pip and Slate to them becoming Cass and Aiden. I loved the other players as well and I could tell it was trying to give us a glimpse of some of their life too, I wish there was a little more involvement with that but it was a great great book and can’t wait to read the next!

    Aiden & Pippa found each other when they need each other the most, the type of bond that is unbreakable. The two come from rocky childhoods and trauma bond, while having big dreams to escape the lives they are living. Aiden’s talents on the ice lead him to be the star NHL player , while it seems he has it all. He’s still dealing with his own issues and trauma from the past. When Pippa “Cassidy” shows up at his hotel room one night, hiding her identity and hoping to find closure. What was suppose to be one night, turns into fake dating and the two uncovering secrets, and healing on their journey while also getting a second chance at love.

    The way I was milking this book, I didn’t want to finish it because I love these characters so much.

    First, this isn’t your average Hockey book. It’s packed with so much depth and emotional trauma between the Aiden and “Pip”/Cassidy that you literally feel so invested in their individual stories from start to finish. When the first secret was revealed, it made me so relieved and I love how it didn’t change the way Aiden felt for her. When the second secret was revealed, my heart was shook. I am so happy with how it ended , and literally feel these two are the definition of “soulmates”.

    I couldn’t get enough of sexy Aiden. Oh my gosh, the “crawl to me’s”, “good girl”, and “mine” made me blush! Whew! Especially coming from him, I love an MMC who is quiet, mysterious and a little damaged.

    Ava did an incredible job at dealing with such emotional topics and was so sensitive in telling this story. I loved how Aiden handled the response to his reveal of his rituals. And especially how “Pip”/Cassidy was the one to help him with normalizing and accepting him for who he is.

    I listened to the audiobook for the last half of this book and thought the performance was done really well!
