THE WAY WE COLLIDE is...
🏈Small town SPICE,
🏈Football romance (US),
🏈Surprise baby,
🏈Marriage of convenience,
🏈Close proximity,
🏈Strong, plus-sized FMC,
🏈Over-protective alpha-dad,
🏈It’s always been you,
🏈No cheating, cliffhanger, or third act breakup!

Football is my life. I’m not interested in marriage or babies or poopy diapers. Yet here I am, standing in front of a judge saying “I do,” with a six-month-old on my hip and an aspiring storm-chaser on my arm.

From the time I was a little boy, sleeping with my head on a football, I’ve had one goal: carrying on the Bradford-family legacy.

Our famous father trained all my older brothers and me to be star athletes just like him, but seven years later, I’m the only one still focused on the game.

Until Raven Gale storms into my life.

She’s smart, sassy, curves for days, and lightning in the sack. When I met her at my little sister’s wedding we bonded immediately over our dedication to our dreams, our determination to let nothing stop us, and our insatiable, all-night, barrier-busting chemistry.

A baby girl is a surprise neither of us expected, but Raven has a plan. We’ll have a quickie marriage to secure her trust fund, be together three months tops, then shake hands and walk away.

The only problem is with every late night I spend chatting with my wife or consummating our marriage (which we both agreed was a bad idea) or rocking my baby girl to sleep or yes, even changing poopy diapers, the stronger our bond grows.

It never rains in California, there’s no football (for me) in south Alabama, but when you collide with a cyclone, everything changes, including what you thought were your plans.

(THE WAY WE COLLIDE is a small-town, surprise baby, sports romance with a marriage of convenience, close proximity, an over-protective alpha daddy, a feisty plus-sized FMC, and a few twisters. No cheating. No cliffhanger. No third-act breakup.)

MY REVIEW

Hendrix (Hen) is all in...for football. It's what he grew up learning, it's what he trained for, and it's what he lives for. Until a sweet, determined beauty turns his world upside down. Once he finds out he's a dad, he has to decide if he's all in for football or his new family.

Raven's (Pink) never been allowed to chase her own dreams. From the time she was a little pageant girl chasing her mother's dreams, clear until now when her father's determined she join the family company, Raven has kept her own dream in her sights. Then one night changes her course. She knows she'll do anything for her little girl, Hayden (Haddy), but how will her daddy react? Will Hen simply co-parent with her, or will their feelings strengthen in the face of all their close proximity?

"She's mine. It's the most precious gift I've ever been given—besides Haddy."

Hendrix and his Pink and Haddy are sweet, swoony perfection. We all know that some people don't take to surprise parenthood well, especially people who were determined not to go down that path previously, but Hen put that stereotype to rest when he stepped up, went all in, and instantly fell in love with his daughter. He was already halfway there with Raven, and once they got together, even in a situation like a marriage of convenience, he quickly fell all the way. The Bradford clan is also around, in full, entertaining force, welcoming Raven and Haddy with loving arms, in turn making me love this family even more. Jack, the eldest brother, is up next in The Way We Win, and I am very, very impatiently waiting for his story.
