Bobbi and Shane
This was a whole lot of life journey rolled into a changing life's choices. This story kept me interested to read through and get to the end so I could see their happily ever after!

Loved it!
Their love has always been a disaster, and when it all came to a head, Bobbi and Shane were left in tatters. Bobbi’s moved on with her life, becoming some plastic, pseudo-perfect version of her former self and getting engaged to a guy who is everything she could ever want — on the surface.Shane knows better than to think he and Bobbi will ever be anything but explosive together — and not in a good way. They’d ripped each other apart before he landed in prison, and now that he’s back, she’s a shadow of the woman he remembers. But when she shows up at a bar instead of at her own wedding, they’re in for a messy trip down memory lane.But...Unfortunately, the editing is just as bad in this one as it was in Offside. Still a great story, but the mistakes were pretty glaring, and it just irks the hell out of me when a story I love this much doesn’t get that part of the work it deserves.The Verdict: Okay, I have to admit that I absolutely hated Bobbi in Offside, and that made me curious about seeing things through her jaded eyes. But what I really wanted to read about was Shane. He was so incredibly hot in the first book, even though he wasn’t a main player, that I was dying to see more of him.Sadly, the closer look into Shane’s mind took away some of that delectable mystery I loved about him so much in Offside, but damned if he wasn’t still just as twisted up and hot as I’d hoped. It’s clear that despite every bit of hurt in their pasts, he and Bobbi belong together, and he’s not about to let her get away this time.And Bobbi… Well, I warmed up to her in the first chapter. She’d clearly been wearing a mask for far too long, her way of coping with the problems at home and her broken heart. The snark and banter between her and Shane was to die for, and their chemistry was off the charts.Of course, like most romances, there was also a secret to be revealed, but it was more heartbreaking than dark, and instead of creating a rift between them, it forced them to reevaluate things and actually give into their very real feelings for each other. All in all, Collide is another great book, just as evil as the first one in that it made me immediately buy the next one in the series.

3.5 stars-heartbreak, romance and love
COLLIDE is the second installment in Juliana Stone's New Adult contemporary romance The Barker Triplets series focusing on Billie-Jo, Bobbi-Jo and Betty-Jo Barker. Collide is Bobbi-Jo and Shane Gallagher's storyline-another storyline of second chances and forgiveness.Like the first storyline-OFFSIDE- the characters are flawed in such a way that it took some time before Bobbi-Jo became less of an irritant to the flow of the story. There is a history between Bobbi-Jo and Shane and one that is mired in secrets, betrayal and heartbreaking sorrow.Their prior relationship was tumultuous, aggressive and during a time when both were too young to accept full responsibility for their actions. But decisions were made and betrayal revealed that resulted in years of misunderstanding, painful memories and hateful scorn. When our couple, finally reconnect with each other, the truth will hurt but will bring about an end to their anguish and pain.COLLIDE is another interesting storyline of second chances and forgiveness. The Barker Triplets are a trio of twenty five year old sisters who are not the easiest characters to like in the early stages of the series and successive novels. Betty -Jo's story has yet to be told and she is by far the nastiest piece of work of the three. The sister's animosity towards each other is fueled by jealousy and anger and, the pain of their father's deteriorating health.COLLIDE is a fast paced, sometimes heartbreaking storyline of two people so much in love with each other that they continue to hurt one another at every turn. It will take the truth about what happened years before to put the past behind them and begin a new life together.

Watch them Collide
You can't go wrong with Bobbi's story. Bobbi feels she must be the strong one that stays to help out the family and be responsible. So she ends up engaged to her dull boyfriend Gerry and she thinks she is happy but wasn't till she sees her ex to make her realize that she is lacking a spark with the man she is set to marry. Bobbi decides to not get married and pulls a runaway bride move and runs to a bar only to end up running into her ex. Shane is a brooding, sexy, and funny. So watching this story develop is a roller coaster that you want to watch how it turns out.great story and great Hero!!!Its also nice to catch up on her sister & brother in law and other sister along with the Dad and Grandpa!

The Barker Trilpets are winners!
Collide by Juliana Stone gives readers another breathless read! We finally learn the details of Shane and Bobbi's horrid past. Shane will win fans as he sets to win the lovely Bobbi back, even if he has to use unseemly means to do it. Shane and Bobbi are amazing and their story, their pain and passion palpable. I enjoyed this book so much, especially as the plot thickens with questions about the next Barker triplet! I recommend this series and I can't wait for the next book in the series Conceal!

Loved it!!
I love Bobbi and Shane. I love how strong both characters are. This book was hot! I loved the first one but think I fell in love with these two just a little more. I was desperate to find out the secrets that Bobbi had and was very pleased with the story. This is book 2 of a series and I definitely recommend this series. I think Juliana Stone did a great job in her writing. Read this book in less than a day. It was too good to put down. Its a must read. Look forward to book 3!

4 stars
This was a good addition to the series. I really liked the first book, but I think I liked this one a little bit more. Bobbi and Shane were quite a pair. This book was a little deeper than the 1st book. There was a lot of character growth in this story. I'm not a big fan of Betty-Jo, but I will be getting the book to see if she has any character growth.

Very enjoyable book
This is the second book in the series. Although they are stand alone ones, I think the reader will get more out of it if read in sequel to understand the real character of the heroine. Quite different to the first one (which I actually preferred better) but still a very enjoyable read.
