Great Read

When Hearts Collide: A Heartbeats College Romance. Book Three was another great read by Lorana Hoopes. Amanda was too busy in high school to date. She meets Caleb and is flattered that he seems to like Amanda. Jared has suspected that Caleb was part of the reason that Jared’s girlfriend disappeared. He meets Amanda and he’s secretly in love with her. He finds out that Amanda is seeing Caleb and knows that he has to keep history from repeating itself. I really enjoyed reading Amanda and Jared’s story.

Great, clean romance

I loved this clean romance. I like that Lorana Hoopes included Amanda's thoughts. We were able to hear her rationalizing and her inner debate of listening to her head or her friends. Great story! If young girls could learn to decipher the good guys from the bad through their friends and their inner feelings it would be helpful.

GOOD

Loved this story and I found myself shedding a tear or two. Good read and romance. Hope to hear more from this author.

Winderful story

I was given a copy of this audio book for an honest review. This is the first book that i’ve listened to with Ariel Troutman. She has a wonderful voice & does a fantastic job with all the characters. This story by Lorana Hoopes was fantastic.

Captivating coming of age story.

When Hearts Collide is a thought-provoking book in Lorana Hoopes Heartbeats series. The reader is quickly drawn into the life of Amanda, a young woman starting out at college. The author does a great job of portraying a freshman girl as she looks for friends she can relate to, deals with a curmudgeony roommate, and begins her first romantic relationship. Date rape is one of the subplots of the story and the author seems to have a good handle on the emotions and reactions of a victim and those around her, making the story realistic and relatable. There is a strong thread of faith in God and how Christians respond to difficult circumstances and find strength and help in God. Readers who enjoy romance, a little suspense, and coming of age stories will not want to miss When Hearts Collide.
I listened to a complimentary copy of the audiobook and Ariel Troutman does a nice job narrating Amanda's story, making for an enjoyable listening experience. I was not required to write a review and the opinions are my own.

When Hearts Collide. A Good Christian Fiction Read

This is a good Christian fiction read. It shows what can happen when you fall for a bad boy. Amanda tries to live for God in college meets Caleb and starts dating him then meets Jordan. Caleb turns out to be a habitual date rapier spikes her drink at a party and tries to rape Amanda but thanks to Jordan Amanda Caleb doesn't get the chance. Amanda finally sees Jordan as the Christian and gentlemen he is This is a good story I would recommend.
I received a copy of this from the author Thoughts and opinions expressed are mine alone.

A Powerful Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this story! It is the first Christian romance that I've ever read. It even brought me to tears a couple of times. I can't wait to check out Lorana Hoopes other stories.

Good Faithbased Book

Unfortunately, this book accurately describes a portion of college life, especially for freshman who feel lonely. Amanda didn't have much previous dating experience so she was flattered by the first good looking guy who asked her out. Unfortunately he wasn't a believer like she was and she just ignored some of the warning signs. Thankfully she had made some friends who were watching out for her when she found herself in a bad situation at a Frat party. Sweet story of sharing faith and being kind even when people try to push you away. Lorana did a good job dealing with some touchy subjects.

A shocking look at reality

A good read, I couldn't stop listening. Love how they are there to help others.

A Great Story

This story hits home. It's a great book that shows that you can overcome terrible things that happen. It's another EXCELLENT book my Lorana Hoopes!
