Collide: A student professor forbidden romance

4 - 4.25 Stars! Having listened to the Crave audiobook i couldn't wait to dive into the next ones and get to experience this story all over again in this new way! I started listening to this second audiobook as soon as i could and got right back into the Off-Limits world! I so enjoyed this listen! Connor Crais and Vanessa Edwin are back as Sawyer and Olivia! I was so thrilled that these two were narrating this story. Both Vanessa and Connor got me right back into this journey and

Collide is book #2 in the Off the Limits trilogy. From the very beginning up until the very end, it was a raw emotional bumpy ride. As Olivia navigated her forbidden relationship with Sawyer, she was also trying to find her footing in the world, making her own way. Olivia is a determined, bright and driven female MC; she's passionate about her field of study. And Sawyer encouraged and motivated her every step of the way, he boosted her confidence and cheered her on. Ahh!! I was so happy to see, Harrison and Rae are one of my favourite fictional couples (The Enemies series' main characters) making a cameo appearance. Phew! The steam in this book hit the roof! I mean, Sawyer did continue on with his "private lessons" with Olivia. He pushed Olivia to the limits pushing her outside of her comfort zone, and this terrified and excited her at the same time. Sawyer, Sawyer! He slowly opened up to Olivia; he finally told her that he wanted so much more, revealing his feelings for her. He truly cares about her and wants Olivia to succeed, to reach for the stars. Olivia has strong feelings for Sawyer, but she was scared to acknowledge them or more like to say them out loud. Piper!! The ending! My gosh! It was so unexpected!! Can't wait to read the final installment "Crave". A shocking revelation from Sawyer's past tore their relationship apart. Feeling hurt and confused, Olivia doesn't know what to believe or do. She's conflicted, and despite everything, she still wants Sawyer, but he won't let his guard down and let her in. Sawyer realized the *big* mistake he made, and he wants Olivia's forgiveness; he misses what they had; he misses Olivia. So, Olivia and Sawyer decided on a different approach to their "secret relationship": "no feelings" involved for Olivia and "exclusive" for Sawyer. Olivia's family/home life is a constant battle. And she turns to the one person who can ease her pain: Sawyer. Sawyer is the only person who understands her; he believes in her. Just as everything started going in the right direction, it took a wrong turn. Now, Olivia's and Sawyer's future hangs in the balance. **I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review

Book 2 in the Off-Limits trilogy and I loved continuing the story of Sawyer and Olivia. This will pick up right after the end of Crave. So, if it has been a while, go back and read Crave, you will thank me later. You will be sucked back into the steamy relationship between Sawyer and Olivia and I was all for it. This is a forbidden relationship that you will be rooting for. Great characters and storyline that will keep you invested until the last page where you will be hit with another cliffhanger. I don’t normally like cliffhangers, but I can never say no to a Piper Lawson book. She does them so well and makes me crave more. Can’t wait to get my hands on the final book and see how this all ends for these characters.
