Alpha Men. Steamy Scenes. Heart Pounding Romance ~ Heart’s Collide has it all!
Bent is broken in mind, body, and spirit. Complications of an injury plague Angel Fire’s legendary bassist. He’ll never play again. Never take the stage with his bandmates. Never soak in the intoxication of the crowd. Music has abandoned him.At least that’s what he’s told his overly persistent physical therapist, … abandoned him.
At least that’s what he’s told his overly persistent physical therapist, Piper. The woman is petite and vivacious, a pixie with red hair and a spitfire attitude. She doesn’t know when to give up, or when to shove her perpetual positivity into the deepest, darkest hole.
He’s fired her more times than he can count. She should leave him to his misery, but the woman won’t take no for an answer. She challenges him. Pushes him. She never lets up. The fiery pixie is turning his entire world upside down, and that’s pissing him off.
Bent desperately needs Piper to leave him alone—especially since the infuriating woman is now invading his dreams and stirring up his darkest fantasies. But how does someone get rid of a perky pixie?

“The most difficult decision is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity.” Amelia Earhart
Piper Raines is a physical therapist; one of the best, according to Forest. But Bent Hawthorne doesn’t agree. He regards the petite Piper as a major pain… A pain in his backside. What part of he’s permanently broken doesn’t she understand? His right arm was blown to hell and back when his tour bus ran over a roadside bomb in Bagram. Held together by metal, pins, and sheer will, his right hand will NEVER play the bass guitar again…. It’s time Angel Fire found themselves a new bass player, and just let him go.
Piper Raines is a 5’ 4” red headed pixie of a woman; fierce and full of fire. She doesn’t care HOW many times Bent fires her, she’s not leaving. She’s not giving up on Bent, even if Bent has given up on herself. Piper needs to find a trigger to break Bent out of his self-imposed prison of pity and refusal to believe he’ll get better. Bent NEEDS to try, he NEEDS to WANT to get better. But how?
“The buck stops here. You give it your all, or you give it up. What kind of man are you going to choose to be?” Ash, lead singer of Angel Fire
As Piper and Bent continue their battle of wills, Bent discovers something about Piper, that calls to the dark side of his nature. He discovers Piper’s trigger, and his world view is shattered and remade. The sexual tension between them grows stronger and stronger; Piper fights to maintain a professional relationship with Bent, but can she? Should she? What if?
“She was his, and he was hers. Their exploration had barely started, and he already knew their forever stretched out before them.”
Captivating, riveting, enthralling! This story grabbed me by the throat and didn’t let go. I DEVOURED this book, barely taking time to sleep. It’s not your typical “feel good” romance; it’s raw, it’s gritty, it’s graphic and explicit. I felt as if I was IN the story, watching it all unfold before my eyes. If you enjoy a read that makes you feel, that makes you think, that just makes you want to know what’s going to happen next, then… this is the book for you! **Intended for audiences over 18; some BDSM and sexual scenarios. **
I wanted to tell Bent to suck it up and do what it takes. But until you’ve suffered such extensive injury and suffered both physically and mentally, it takes more than sucking it up. I loved the adaptability of Piper and the chemistry between her and Bing! Of course, I enjoyed the Angel Fire crew! Fantastic series!
Once again, Ellie Masters has taken us on a journey of pain, sorrow, dedication, devotion, fear, discovery and love and added an inference of BDSM. Each book in this series bring it’s own pieces of history and this one is no exception. But as the pieces are fit together, the storytellers become a closer knit family that you can’t help but be a part of. I can hardly wait to read the next one.
Seriously Ellie, how is one to choose between Ash, Ryker and now Bent? Not to mention the rest of the Angel Fire gang (Spike has me intrigued – the quiet ones are always up to something sneaky I feel). Hearts Collide is another knock your socks off kind of read. From page one I was drawn into Ellie’s words and couldn’t get enough.
Piper is definitely one of my favorite characters in this book. Bent’s nickname of “Pixie” fits her perfectly. I loved her fierceness and need to help others even though her childhood wasn’t the best.
Then you have Bent – Mr. Growly Bear – another perfect nickname. The man was infuriating at times and you just wanted to jump into the book and smack him upside the head but then our girl Piper would try and put him in place and my heart would swoon.
The Angst…
The Fierceness…
The Determination…
The Sexiness…
Just everything about Piper and Bent was on point and had my heart so happy. After an unthinkable event left Bent’s hand/arm in shambles Forest hires Piper as his last ditch effort to get him rehabilitated to be able to play the bass guitar again. What ensues after Piper starts is nothing less then entertaining. The banter between the two. The push and pull. The Angst. The sexual tension – which was off the charts hot. And just when I thought I was claiming Ryker, Bent comes into my life and I want him now too. OMG Ellie – why oh why – can I have them all?
Hearts Collide is a must read – 5+++ Stars. A definite one-click. The Angel Fire men are too hot to handle and I can’t wait for more.

I love Bent and Piper’s story. Piper’s idea to get Bent back in shape, behind his back, is genius. Insanity sounds amazing! I want to live there. I am enthralled by this series and looking forward to the rest of the guy’s stories. I highly recommend the Angel Fire series.
5 Ogre Stars
I knew going into this one was going to be an emotional journey! When Bent was injured while touring in the Middle East, his hand that played the best bass would need some serious physical therapy if he ever wanted to get back on stage. Although it was put back together, it wasn’t functioning properly.
When tough as nails, Piper gets hired as the physical therapist that will bring Bent back physically, she has quite the job ahead of her! Understanding completely how hard it is for someone to come back after an injury, she never expected this adult to act worse than some of her 5-year-old patients.
When forced to do 3 sessions per day to get this rocker back up on stage, temper tantrums flare, secrets are revealed, finding out who each other truly are, is the making for an emotional story.
Absolutely enjoyed reading each and every book about the men of Angel Fire. Bent’s story though, was the toughest. So many feelings were exposed yet, we find out that Bent is another reason why Angel Fire has been so successful. These men are family and stick together no matter what.
Can’t wait to read what comes next for the Angel Fire Group!!!

This author always takes you on a wild ride and can make the words come to life, this series is hot, emotional and sexy. I loved Bent, his story is broken and you can feel him. Piper is sassy and sexy and is determined to bring Bent back to life. I love this series.
Ellie does it again…..what a great series this is! Just when I think it can’t get any better a new book comes out and it beats the last one. I hope there will be more to this series. The characters have great chemistry and they pull you in like you are one of them. I totally enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it!!
Ellie Masters continues the Angel Fire Rock series with the intensity of previous books. She makes us feel the anxiety, hopelessness and despair that Bent is experiencing in this well crafted story. Pixie’s resolve and strength of character make her an easily character to identify with. I found this book to be an exceptionally sarisfying reading experience.
Bent’s passion was taken away from him in the middle of a war zone on a bus. A broken arm rendered useless by multiple surgeries, metal plates and screws. He knew he’d never play again why hadn’t everyone else gotten the memo? Enter one diminutive, perky, bossy physical therapist, Piper, who despite Bent’s efforts, won’t leave him alone. She’s relentless in her quest to rehab his withered useless arm. In a moment of anger, Bent’s does something that gives him shocking insight into Piper and her past. The door is now open for him to pursue his ‘pixie’ and have the type of relationship he craves. The question is, will Piper submit to his demands? Will Pixie be able to give Bent back his passion?
I’m loving this series, three books in a prequel novella and I can’t get enough. The men of Angels Fire have gotten under my skin.
Every book so far has held my attention. They’ve pulled a range of emotions from me. Ellie Masters really delivers the angst and knows how to pull at your heart strings with this series.
Bent has always been a Rock God in every sense of the word a strong domineering presence, who turns heads wherever he goes.
It all came naturally to Bent, then in the blink of an eye it all changed when an accident stole his ability to play Bass for Angels Fire.
The accident broke Bent not just the physical injuries but his spirit too. I really felt his anguish. I’m not gonna lie it broke my heart a bit.
Bent wants to give up but Forest Angel Fires manger has other ideas.
Piper is a physical therapist hired to get Bent back in shape.
These two clash straight away. Piper maybe small but she’s not letting Bent chase her away, she has a job to do.
This firey little redhead pushes Bents buttons and ignites
more than just his temper, much to his annoyance.
I loved these two their journey isn’t easy but they have more in common than either of them realise. Their chemistry is explosive its a love hate relationship.
Both of them have separate issues, they can help each other if they don’t kill each other first.
I’m already desperate to see who’s next from the rest of the band I’m hoping for Bash, I’m very curious about the shaven headed drummer.
However my most anticipated read is still Forests story. I seriously love this guy and I’ll drop everything to read his book when it goes live.
This is a fantastic series and i can’t wait to see what Ellie has in store for us next.
This book was hot!! I enjoyed every minute of it!! Ellie Masters is a genius! She knows how to draw the reader in to her stories.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own
Collision is a very good term to describe the relationship between Bent and his pixie Piper. When these two meet wills collide and words fly. What will it take to get a frustrated, broken man to try and heal? Bring on the determination of a red headed PT to jump start more than the muscles in his arm and hand! As the battle begins we learn things about Bent and Piper that I did not see coming. The little spit fire has a secret and once Bent figures it out, everything changes.
I love the dynamic with these two characters. I love when challenges are overcome. I love the angst in a story when the outcome could go either way. I love this band, Angel Fire and I’m ready to read the stories of all the guys. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series.
