I took over a month to finish this book and it is in no way because of the book.  Finishing up my work contract and getting ready for summer vacation has left me pretty lazy in my free time!

 I received this ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Although it came out over the summer the second book in the series Beautiful Conviction is set to be released in a couple of weeks, hence the review.

Beautiful Collision was a breezy, interesting read.  It was pretty formulaic but I still enjoyed it for what it was.  Girl on the run from a dodgy past (Gray) meets her dark horse hero (Thane) and sparks and a parade of drama ensue.  Gray is a likable protagonist, smart and strong but still willing to show a bit of vulnerability.  I found Thane to be equally easy to relate to, especially as he struggles between duty and heart.

Too much detail would betray the plot!  Pick this up if you’re jonesing for a summer read.  I will be adding the next installment to my summer book list (as if it isn’t already long enough)!

Three stars.
