This book is currently free on Amazon. I don't know if the price will eventually change or not. I think from the moment I started this book I knew it was going to piss me off.
Olivia is running late for work and half way through her cab ride decides that she could probably get there faster if she just walked. Swinging the taxi cab door open she knocks over a stranger. A billionaire stranger. Offering to buy him coffee for ruining his suit they end up going back to his room at the Plaza Hotel.
This is when I started thinking, "Ugh she doesn't even know this guys name and she's going to sleep with him?" Basically they carry on this sexual relationship and it just started getting annoying. She fell for this guy way too damn fast and knew nothing about him. Every time they were together it just felt like it was the same scene over and over. The only interesting part to me was the very end. That got me interested and I do want to see what happens next.
I gave it a 3 but I think that was just me being generous. I'll finish the series and hope that it gets a little bit better.

Olivia is late for work when she bails out of her cab and knocks a suits’ coffee all over him. Promising to replace it for him, she ends up in his hotel room with him.
***
What? Guys hit on you regardless of the woman’s comfort zone. And the grammar is bad - comma after speech and before identifier. This book has no editor.
If she didn’t need to be at work in such a hurry why did she throw herself out of the cab to run? It makes no sense.
Oh, no… when I start saying that the book is in trouble.
I’m with you - what the HELL?
You really don’t need to tell readers that nodding your head means yes… you really don’t.
I think I speak for us all when I say… what? That is unreadable.
I skim read the rest and it’s bad… the sex is uninspiring and really wooden. There are a huge number of errors in spacing and grammar.
The story isn’t good enough to make up for the errors.

What was going on here? Did this man find me desirable? If so, that was a first for me. Handsome rich men never hit on me. It was out of my comfort zone.
“Yes, I like coffee.” I said trying to hide that I was blushing. (Kindle Locations 85-87).

“Do you like cream in your coffee?” he asked.
“Yes, just a little.”
He poured a small amount in my cup and said, “Like that? Is that how you like it? Or would you prefer more?”
What the hell? I could feel myself getting wet. (Kindle Locations 104-107).
I’m with you - what the HELL?
You really don’t need to tell readers that nodding your head means yes… you really don’t.
But now so much time had passes since I just had a raw sexual encounter that I as starting to feel like less of a woman. There’s nothing that could make a woman feel that way than not being touched or made love to. This brought out all my insecurities. (Kindle Locations 144-146)

#collide #cantevenfinish I like some sex in the book but really?? From chapter 1-3 there's sex in every page! I hated when a heroine acts liked that. She's smart and hasn't date for a long time, yet she bumps into the hero and followed him to his room and have sex with him. On top of that they didn't used condom! Yeah she's very smart! Sorry I can continue the book! #disappointed

Hot, fast moving, and erotic read. This is a super quick entry in the Collide Series, clocking in at about 48 pages. Olivia meets a mysterious stranger after a taxi cab door meets expensive suit + coffee. She ends up spending the day in a Sexual Odyssey at The Plaza Hotel and emerges a woman with an new sense of self after meeting Troy. She thinks she will never see him again but he suddenly arrives at her place of work ... and the journey continues. But alas, this is a serial and therefore the cliff does hang.
The bottom-line for me was that I'm not a fan of the "diary-style POV". I don't like wanting to shake the heroine like a rag doll. I wanted a smidge more than just sexual awareness as character growth, I'm not really expecting anything profound for 40 something pages, but just a little something. However, that being said, the story and cliffhanger is compelling enough to make you want to find out a little more.
This novel is from my personal bookshelf. Therefore it is a honest review.

Olivia was late for work so she had taken a taxi but traffic was bogged down so she exited but threw he door open into a pedestrian. She went to apologize and was meet by a gorgeous stranger and she had just spilled his coffee on his suit. She offered to have his suit cleaned and offered to buy him another coffee. But he had other plans for her and coffee was just one of them.

Quick Sexy read
An accidental cab door bump leads to a hot, sexy encounter for Olivia and Troy. He later tracks her down at work as he can't seem to get enough of her. They share sex and meals, but not much else and yet she does feel something for him to be jealous, leading to our first cliffhanger.

Decent but...
Some small grammatical errors that didn't detract but was noticeable. I'm not sure if I will try more of the series or not. I'm not invested in learning more about these characters. The woman is naive and the man is predictable. They also had sexy multiple times and I am not sure if they used protection which bothered me.

Quick read
A young professional girl was stuck in traffic in New York she was going to be late, so she told the cab to pull over. She exits the can suddenly and collides with a tall gorgeous billionaire who drives her wild. This was a yummy read.

Well
I got this book free on Amazon and it's what's figured a free book would be. I didn't really connect with the characters enough to feel anything with the ending and some of the grammar could stand to be touched up.

this books was awful! I have never read a book that had so many grammar mistakes and that lacked character development like this one, this book was like reading pornografy written by a 12 year old boy. very disappointed...

Well.
I wasn't a huge fan. Maybe the story gets better, as it was just the first part. But in my opinion, it just had little story line. There really wasn't a plot to it and while I'm all for steamy stories, it just lacked an actual storyline for me.

This book is amazing. It is a short read. I loved how well the book was written and how well the characters were developed. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

While short I did enjoy reading this book. I am uncertain that I will look more into this series at this time but I wouldn't mind looking more into this authors' writings.

I skipped a lot of pages with this one. Just a little too much sex and not enough enough feelings.
