Nothing to apologize for, KA. The emotional depth of this book just took me by surprise. It’s rare for a book to melt through my hardened heart and actually touch me.

I’m married to a guy like Aaron, and it’s exhausting work. More than anything, I think Collision Course just wore me out. lol

Hey KA, thanks so much for having a nosey and for the wonderful read. It was a real pleasure. This week has been rough, you’ve no idea and not sure how Christmas is going to go. But have chin up and am trying to get in touch with inner Christmas geek. You’re a sweetie. The music was FAB!! I often read on laptop and have music going… and love me some Goldfrapp.

Sarah,

Thank you very much for the kind review. I really enjoyed writing this book and these characters. So many books have given me a lift when I’ve had a bad week and I’m so glad my book could pass on that favor to you.

I’m glad you liked the soundtrack. Joey’s varied taste in music kept me digging.

JenB,

I’m so sorry that this hit you hard. Sometimes I’m in the mood for an emotional read and sometimes I’m not.

Everybody: Thanks for reading and letting me know what you think. I try to do better every time.

Kris, I felt exactly the same way. She just gets better and better! Not to mention free hot prequels! Merow!

The books are such a fantastic length too, I want in Paper back!!

I really like K A Mitchell’s work and bought this one as soon as it came out.

I actually enjoyed Collision Course more than Diving in Deep. I think it was because I found this story much meatier and the characters complex… not to mention srsly smoking hot.

I think KAM is getting better and better as she writes more books.

Carolyn Jean, I really liked it and it totally took my mind off everything else that has gone on this week. It was cool and a re reader.

Wave, it was a good one and I really liked Diving in Deep too. There was also Regularly Scheduled Life which I enjoyed but for me that was a particularly intense book and am not sure the editing was as tight as this one. Maybe a little too long, still liked it lots though!

Leah, I LOVE Goldfrapp – and have been listening to them much over the past 2 days! Much to blokes relief after the Kate Bush kick I was on… ;p

Jen, I think some books just speak to something inside you and can really put you through the wringer. And no, this is not a light fluffy read!

I had a hard time with this one. *sigh* On one hand, it’s an amazing book. Flawless editing, fantastic characters, HOT sex, great story, etc. On the other hand, it’s an extremely intense book. It’s heavy, and I related to it a little too well. I was exhausted and emotionally drained when I finished it.

It’s a wonderful book, but not a light, fluffy read at all. Still gets 5 stars though, even though it fucked up my head. lol

I have Diving in Deep, which I think you recommended, on my eBoowise. I really need to get to it. This one sounds good too.

Oh and Goldfrapp? Love them! Got Ooh La La on my iPod just after it came out.

I just bought this book and I’m really looking forward to reading it. Diving in Deep is another excellent book by K.A. Mitchell which I read in March. Thanks for a great review. I was going to save this book to read over the Christmas holidays now I’ll probably want to advance that timeline *g*
