From the
bestselling author of Pulled and Take This Regret comes a
gripping new tale
of loss and love.
William has spent six years
running from his past and the last eight
months trying to rid his mind of the dreams that increasingly haunt his
nights.
Trapped in a world of false ambitions and feigned affections, William
knows
he’s reached a breaking point and something’s going to
give.
Maggie had lived her entire life without hope until
one man showed her
what it meant to be loved. He’d been her light in a lifetime of darkness.
Six
years ago, that darkness stole him away. Without him, she’s surrendered herself
to an existence she doesn’t know how to
escape.
When the family William left
behind is struck by tragedy, he is called
back to the one place he’s sworn to never return to again.
In a moment that will change
his life forever, William comes face to face
with the girl who, with one look, captured his heart. He is unable to
ignore
the buried desires and the hope for the future they’d once believed they’d
have.
Now William is ready to
fight to take back what had been stolen from him
six years before.
But he never imagined what
that fight might cost him.
A.L. Jackson gives you an
intimate look into the lives of a family bound
by an unseen connection in this new contemporary
romance.
Review:
Hmmm…Where do I begin? I don’t read many Adult books. I tend to stay on YA books. However, when I read the blurb for When We Collide, I had to know what tore Maggie and William apart. I needed to know if they found their way back to each other. I never imaged the horror that plagued Maggie would stir my soul into feeling her pain and fear. I wanted to reach in a save her, to give her the strength she needed to escape. By the time I got to the part that actually explained what torn them apart, I was so engulfed in the story that I felt like I was living it.
Maggie and William had a love that people dream of having, but they came from two different worlds and her world would not let her live in that love. Maggie is a fragile damaged girl who settles for what she thinks she deserves. William is strong and compassionate boy who wants to show Maggie the lies she had been told all her life are not true. She deserved someone who loved her.
Maggie finally realizes that she is strong enough to fight for against the monsters and horrors that keep her cage up in fear. William decides he will not just idly stand by and let Maggie settle for less than she deserves. However, their freedom to pursue their love may come at a price too high to pay.
