Synopsis
When I was fourteen years old, I killed for the first time. That day I learned cruelty wasn’t only within the walls we had just escaped. It hasn’t been easy growing up in the middle of a war. A struggle to find shelter. Fighting to protect our bodies against the corruption of the streets. Nobody cared about the street kids who had to beg and steal to eat. We are the Portland Street Kings – A family forged through loyalty not blood. To get through this life of broken dreams alive, we’ve become hard, uncaring and merciless. We do what must be done to keep our family safe, we will harm those who stand against us. We have it all, feared and respected by those on the streets. Then she collided into my world, and with her came demons from my past, back to haunt us all.

Excerpt
“What if I already have, brotha? What if she’s already dead?” Rex’s grin is devilish, one I know all too well. He got to her. I push off him, hard, causing Rex to slump to the ground roughly. My chest explodes and my whole world falls apart. I look around me at the people staring, at the dust in the air, at the cars in the distance. Piper. I grab for my chest at the exact moment I know my heart plummets to my stomach, as if I thought I could catch it first. My mind is screaming at me to get to Piper to try to save her, but my panic is holding me back. Laughing at me, taunting me, reminding me that I actually thought I could let her go when really I can’t even bear the thought of living in a world where she doesn’t exist. In a blur, I hear Pace yelling that the home phone isn’t connecting. I look to see Rex on the ground, laughing, almost cackling. In a split second, the harsh world comes back into focus and I see everything for what it is: a world where I never win, where I’ll always be the underdog. I look to Rex and growl, "I told you why I did it! Why your father had to die. He was a rapist, and he deserved to die. Now you've gone after my girl? I can't let you walk away from this." I look down to him with what I'm sure are black eyes, murder running through my veins. I feel it pumping through my blood like worms sucking me dry. "If you’ve gone after her, if she’s hurt, you better run," I growl. "You better run fucking fast, because I'm coming for you. I'm coming for you and your whole fucking crew. By the end of the day, I'm gonna to be washing your blood from my body and laughing. Laughing because your daddy still controls you even after his death. You won't take off your fucking rose-colored glasses and see him for what he was, a fucking sadistic asshole!" I end on a roar.

Read in April, 2015

I do like books from Evie and this was no exception.
You are taken on a thrilling ride and are introduced to the Portland Street Kings. They are family not related by blood, but related through the harrowing childhood they experienced together.

Slate is one of the oldest of the family and we see things through his eyes on how he coped with things as a child and what made him become the man he is today.

Piper's job is everything Slate hates and also blames for his and his families experiences in childhood, but there is an undeniable chemistry between the pair of them.

I loved everything about this book, from the steamy sex scenes to the action that filled the pages. I for one cannot wait for the next in the series.

Review by Wendy Book Obsessed Pimpette

omg Evie Harper you are awesome. There is so much to say, but to much would give it away. Slater is a hot bad ass who protects what's his, there is no limit. Raised in a foster home with other siblings Slater takes over trying to protect his family from Phillip who is evil, although they may not be blood family they are still a family that has survived by any means necessary. Slater has turned off the love emotion ever since the loss of Mia he has sworn to never again let anyone other than his family in. Piper is a sassy mouth lady who has a studder and one night out at the club she was being made fun of and Slater comes to her rescue and ever since sparks have been flying. The chemistry between these two is hot, just as the sex they have is as well. Slater starts developing feelings stronger that he likes for Piper and he just not sure about them . Then truths are seen and things between Slater and Piper explode, Piper is the one thing Slater is against but is it enough to keep him away especially now that her life is in danger. I was thrown for a loop I did not expect that, but I loved it. This book pulled me in from the start loved it and can't wait to see more of the Portland Street Kings. definitely a must read. awesome job.

Review by Ally Obsessive One Clicker

Wow what a exciting new series from Evie Harper. I really loved this book it is one of my favorites for 2015. I couldn't put this book down I was so hooked on Collision I didn't want it to end. Loved the story and characters. Especially Slater and Piper they were so hot together.

Collision tells the story of a family that was ripped apart in the beginning. Where a family of brothers and sisters were abused by one of their foster families and that they escaped from their madman step father. They live and breath on the streets and grew up on most of their lives. Where they are tough and mostly feared for the become the Portland Street Kings who rule the streets and protect families. Piper is also a foster child who has a problem with stuttering and when meeting Slate he becomes her shield and protector.

Collision was a sexy thrill ride with action and hot sex scenes that were off the charts. Loved Slate and Piper together. Can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter of The Portland Street Kings saga.
