COLLIDE: Book One of The Gladewater Series Kindle Edition

by Dallas Ryan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 102 ratings
Years ago, his secrets forced him to break her heart. Can love put it back together?

ICU nurse Dani Davis has it all: a coveted job, a great condo, a surgeon boyfriend—though admittedly, things are a little shaky with the boyfriend. None of that matters when the beloved aunt who raised her falls ill. Dani races straight home to small-town Gladewater, Texas.

She almost doesn’t recognize her first love, Levi Cooper. He’s grown up and filled out in all kinds of mouthwatering ways, but one thing hasn’t changed - The painful mystery of why he left her heart in a million tiny pieces.

Levi never planned on setting foot back in Gladewater. The family farm is getting to be too much for his aging mother, though, so he reluctantly leaves his corner-office career to take the reins. The farm comes with a thousand problems, and twice as many memories—all of them bad-except for his memories of Dani, the first love he cut loose for her own good. But when he catches sight of her red curls and flashing green eyes, he can’t help but wonder if there’s any chance to rebuild her trust—and recapture the love that never died.

    What a sweet book!!! I am really not into romance books but I couldn't pass up the cover which is cowboy 🤠, yes please! Small town Romance has been something that I have enjoyed in the past along with cowboy so I thought I would give it a go and I was so excited I did.

    This book has a lot of little town drama which is always fun too in a book and keeps you entertained. There isnt a dull moment in this book and makes me need more of Levi & Dani and the gladewater series. Plus I need to find out what happens with Maggie and Dr. Zane in the next book too.

    You have Dani that has been burned from levi before but you can tell she still loves him and is upset with it. Levi just moved back to town along with dani that is helping her aunt that has become sick. Fancy that they both get back in town at the same time. Are they going to cross paths again ❤️?

    This book last holds a little dark secret that Levi is holding ... You will have to read the book to find out but I promise it is worth your wild. I hope you enjoy!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dani and Levi!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Although she was only a teenager Dani was devastated when Levi ended their relationship however since then she has created a new life for herself in Dallas which includes a successful career as a nurse. All it will take is one call from the aunt and uncle who raised her needing her help for her to return but that also means facing her past.

    Levi made the only choice he could at the time and after finishing college and working in finance has recently returned home to takeover the family farm. When he sees Dani again the chemistry and connection between them is stronger than ever however if they are to have a future they must deal with the pain and secrets of the past.

    Dani and Levi have always belonged together until they were torn apart. I enjoyed seeing them fight their way back to each other and there is a great cast of secondary characters that leave us wanting more of this series and this town. I listed to the audio version of this story and the narrators did a great job of bring out the personalities of the characters and what they were feeling.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Audiobook Really Brought This To Life!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This is book one of this series and told from dual POVs in third person. This is the first time I have read/listened to anything by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. I’m not usually a fan of a story being in third person, but these narrators definitely gave me the “Sweet Home Alabama” vibes. They seriously sounded almost identical to Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas. I Loved it so much! They did such a great job at bringing this story to life. I was seriously hoping I would get a “so I can kiss you anytime I want.” line, sadly I didn’t but I heard it in my head.

    I am a sucker for a second chance romance. I loved that after all the years past, their feelings never wavered from each other. I love that he never. Gave up trying to earn her trust back. I love that she was able to overcome everything and accept her feelings for him.

    I can’t wait to read/listen to the next book in this series. There were so many little Easter eggs that hint to who the next book will be about the mystery around each character definitely have me intrigued.

    I received an advanced reader’s copy of this book/audiobook. I am voluntarily leaving this review, these thoughts and opinions are my own.

Life goes on and Danny is working in hospital doing what she loves when she has to go home to Gladewater because her aunt is in the hospital. One thing leads to another when Levi and her meet again. Can they overcome the past. This was so well written with great character development.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022

    Collide is a sweet, country romance infused with nostalgia, friendship, family, and of course love. Levi is Dani's past, but he's also in her present. Events occur to bring them back together again and despite the push and pull, their love manages to survive. There is mystery involved which I didn't expect and that added an extra interesting layer! I love a good small town cowboy love story!

    Collide is a gripping and emotional story of first loves finding their way to back to one another.

    High school sweethearts have their hearts shattered after their relationship ended abruptly. Years later, they both end up back in their small town, changed and still hurting from the past. Running into each other was inevitable, and when they do, they see the sparks are still flying.

    The characters are real and honest, leading to an instant connection with them. I was able to relate to them and be right there emotionally as they walked their journey together. The side characters are intriguing and leave you wanting more stories from Gladewater!

    4.0 out of 5 stars sweet small town romance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Danni and Levi were high school sweethearts, until he unexpectedly broke up with her with no real explanation. They both went on with their lives away from their hometown. They are both drawn back by their families and when they meet up again the spark is still there, but Danni is wary of letting Levi back in her life. I loved Danni’s friends and how they helped her. I liked how protective Levi was of his mum and understood why he broke things off with Danni. They were both strong, loyal, loving people who had never forgotten each other. This is a slow burn story which I liked as it fit with their story, with just a little bit of heat. I wish we had found out what happened after the drama at the end of the book and I would have liked to know what Danni was going to do with her life in Gladewater. I hope these things will be mentioned in the next book in the series.

    This book was a sweeter read for me and was quite moving emotionally. Dani and Levi knew one another since they were young and circumstances tore them apart.  Their journey to their HEA is filled with some big twists and turns that will keep you at the edge of your seat.  I loved this read and recommend it for those that enjoy sweeter heartfelt romance stories.

    Definitely check trigger warnings before you read. It does touch on some pretty heavy topics.

    First book I've read by this author.
    Second chance, he teaches her to cook, suspense, small town, Cowboys ... Good combo 😉
