I absolutely loved this book and can't wait to dive into the next. When the book first started I wasn't sure if I'd like Danika, I thought at first I'd have trouble with her coldness and views on men/sex and her no filter but I was quickly and pleasantly surprised that not far into the story it actually worked and I loved her very quickly and I can't even find words for how much I fell in love with Savage. This is my first book by this author but will in no way be my last. I loved how the story flowed and there was no fluff added in to just fill pages, every word was perfect. I loved it!!!!!

Savage Collision (A Hawke Family Novel, Book 1) Danika Erickson and Savage Hawke, the first Hawke sibling brings entertainment and sets the tenor for the series. I really liked Danika and Savage's personality's. The witty banter between Danika and Hawke was fun. A very spicey smexy listen with layers of story and a surprising twist. Oh, we can't forget the mafia is involved too. Supporting character's intensify the audio. Ending with a sweet dripping with sugar epilogue. Yvonne Syn, Alastair Haynesbridge dual narration is utterly perfect. Both narrators are new to me and I loved both. Alistar's inflection is smooth and his tone changed with emotions. Yvonne is excellent at performing. Her inflection hit all the right emotions. Her intonation is sweet and sassy to listen. Excellent performance of both.

Captivating and Intense This was my first book by this author and I am all in! I enjoyed every minute of it. It was so much more than I was expecting. Love the twists. There are alot of I didn't see that coming moments in this story!!! Gotta Love Danika and her lack of filter. This book is super hot and at times funny. I think the supporting character is hot too! Can't wait to read his story. It is a great start to a series I can't wait to read them all! Definitely a must read.
