Fatal Collision

Rate this book
Jessica Holt’s only goal is survival. Keep her sick mother alive. Hold her family together. Stay out of the Heights, where power and corruption rule.
But one desperate choice changes everything.
One trespass. One forbidden touch. One king who refuses to let her go.

Kane Ravencourt isn’t just anyone. He’s Bleakmoor’s heir, raised on money, secrets, and lies. He’s the last person she should provoke.
But she did. She stole from him. She tempted the hunter instead of running. And now, she’ll pay the price.
Because being noticed by Kane is dangerous.
Being wanted by him is deadly.
And together, they’re a Fatal Collision.

Fatal Collision is a forbidden rich boy/poor girl, opposites attract romance.
For mature readers only. Contains explicit scenes and adult themes.

I unhinged my jaw and swallowed this book whole. Another five-star banger, as if I expected anything less. This one felt so different from other books I’ve read by HB, which just proves again that this woman has serious range, she can truly do it all.👏🏻

The opening scene had me fucking gaggggeeddddd. That power dynamic? I was literally kicking my feet. The moment she pulled out the gun and straddled him, I said, “Oh, this is gonna be my motherfucking girl,” and SHE WAS. 🤭

This book was ridiculously hot. The tension was too damn good. The push and pull between these two is straight-up addicting, the chemistry is unreal. The way they’re going back-and-forth stealing orgasms from each other. FERALLL. Jessica steals a one from him so of course he has to steal one back while he’s driving his $3 million car. WOOF WOOF

I love a poor/rich dynamic, especially when the FMC is from the wrong side of the tracks. They’re always strong-willed baddies who don’t take shit from anyone. Jessica is playing hard to get and I was cheering her on because the harder she plays, the harder Kane falls and I was eating it up. MAKE HIM BEG FOR IT SIS WE LOVE TO SEE IT

Kane, Kane, Kane… let me tell you about my new obsession. This man radiates big dick energy. His expressions, the way he moves, the way he talks, the way he literally leans against a wall the control, the confidence. THE LIST GOES ON. And don’t even get me started on the fact that he races cars, has money, and is a total softy for his mom. Like, are you kidding?? The total package.
( he also has a couple nicknames for her which I love because why are we just settling for one?)

And the tropes?? Every single trope I love ( I’m a little rat for primal) AND we threw in a secret society? I was fully fed. I flew through this book. I was thinking about it all day. I couldn’t put it down and literally sped home just to finish it. I genuinely don’t know if I have the strength to wait for the next book. Besides the plot and the spice being literally immaculate, I just have to talk about how good the pacing felt for such a short book. I was invested from the third page. This is the definition of a binge worthy book.

Also, the side characters?? I’m digging every single one, and I’m already so intrigued by several of them. I need this to become a whole world. This might be one of my new favorite things. I LOVE IT HERE. Usually I take a minute to gather my thoughts and compose a put together review, but I hope you guys can tell from how chaotic this is that it’s just genuine natural excitement after JUST finishing it.😂😂


My highlights went CRAZYYYY for a book that’s only 131 pages 😂😂 I may or may not have highlighted something on every single page…..
The world may never know…..

The first few chapters were FIRE!!! (Reversed) power play, a gun, calling him a good boy?! Wow I was sat! And the story flew after that. I just love a man obsessed!
There wasn't much plot and I haven't learn much about anything yet. And I can't wait for the next books.
Also, why was the ending so abrupt?? The book is only around 160 pages and it would make sense to make it longer and give us more of the story.

A quick and fun read.
The opening scene was hot.
The power dynamic between them had me glued to my Kindle.
Her holding the power while undoing him and calling him a good boy had me sat.
Secret society ✔️
Primal play ✔️
Forbidden love ✔️
Trauma ✔️
In the next book, I better see the death of Kane's dad because he's got to go. I also need a continuation of their reversed power dynamic, pleeeeease 🙏🏼

She really did that hehe. The power shifts. The little scene in the woods. I luvvvvv fast cars so I enjoyed the little street race and sports car aspect. SO EXCITED FOR #2

My weakness is Secret Society dark romance. Add in a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who’s a total baddie? I’m sold. This was a whole lotta fun packed into less than 200 pages, and I devoured it. I can’t wait to see what else this new universe, Harleigh, is building has in store.

A fast paced read.

Jessica is from the other side of town, living with her drunk father, her sister and older brother, their mother is in a hospice and they are struggling to make ends meet. Jessica, comes up with a plan however, she didn’t expect getting caught and by none other than the owners son. She doesn’t back down as he tries to corner her. From here on out we are drawn into the push pull tête à tête which leads to some conflict of interests and 🌶️. What will happen when their two worlds collide?

“𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆? 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗲?”

Totally enjoyed the story with Jessica not being a total pushover given her feistiness and Kane’s need for control. A plot which starts to thicken…

I KNOW YOU’RE FUCKING LYING MS. BECK LIKE WTF WAS THAT ENDING? WHERE IS THE REST LIKE I NEED IT RIGHT TF NOWWWW😩

The angst, the tension, the passion; whew baby I ate this up. I’ll never not love a strong fmc that matches energy and makes the even stronger mmc submit.

Now I do need that dad killed IMMEDIATELY. Can’t wait for that!

I went into this expecting a quick dark romance hit, but I was hooked from the very first chapter. Jessica is a fierce, determined heroine fighting to keep her world from falling apart, and Kane is the dangerously magnetic heir who should be her worst mistake… but absolutely isn’t.

Their dynamic is everything I love in dark romance.. forbidden, tense, unbalanced in the best way, and full of power plays and heat. The chemistry between them crackles off the page. Kane, in particular, had me blushing and laughing in equal measure with how bold he is.
For a 120-page novella, it packs so much: corruption, tension, street-racing vibes, primal energy, and a world I instantly wanted more of. And that CLIFFHANGER? I was not prepared. I already need the next book!!!

If you love fast-paced, addictive dark romance with a strong FMC and a MMC who is one step away from feral, Fatal Collision is a must-read!

“Careful what you wish for. It almost sounds like you want me to pound my cum into your tight little cunt until it’s trickling down your legs.” Okay that’s enough reading for the month❤️❤️ their first encounter mind you.

Your honor, I love Kane Davenport.

Harleigh never lets me down. I was giggling like a lovesick puppy during Jessica’s & Kanes text exchange, so chivalrous that man.

I, however, did not expect my heart to break for him at the end. 😭

"You stole an orgasm from me. It's time you give it back, little thief."

This was fast paced, read with TENSION. I love these main characters and their dynamic.
I was hooked on chapter 1 and gobbled this book up in one go in the middle of the night. When a book starts like that, it promises to be fun. and it was!
I can't wait for book 2. I need to know where this is going and I need a specific person to suffer. A lot!

HARLEIGH, BABY, THE MARRIAGE LICENSE IS IN THE MAIL 🙂‍↕️🩷

I genuinely can't express how much I absolutely loved this. The angst, the tension, the rich boy x poor girl, the EVERYTHING. Needless to say the opposites were definitely attracting.

I genuinely don't know who I wanted to be more. Jessica definitely put Kane in his place multiple times (this woman got him off WHILE HOLDING HIM AT GUN POINT, need I say more?). Then our baby Kane, that man has me so down bad it's not even funny. All I need everyone to read chapter 8 and you will get it. 🤭

Even tho it's short, it's such a a great introduction to what's to come. Harleigh is an auto read author for me and best believe I will be first in line to the next one. 🖤

Thanks so much Harleigh for the opportunity to read this early. 🩷

DNF at 58%. Just not hooked. I liked that the heroine was the dom and got the upper hand, but the chemistry/smut was not strong enough to make the story work, the plot felt juvenile, flat pacing. I really like the author’s work when she focuses on horror/paranormal erotica. I’ll keep supporting the author but am really hoping I enjoy their works again some day.

How did I miss a new Harleigh Beck story???

Why am I so in love with the broken men? Kane is hot as asphalt in July on the equator. I love how he gets handled by her in the beginning. Having an FMC that is so fiercely loyal to her family and just trying to survive. I am so excited for the next book this was a wild adventure. Also Kane’s dad made me feral with anger. That guy is a special brand of evil. The dagger OMG I am dying to see how she will survive this one. You have awesome tropes with secret society, rich MMC and FMC from the other side of the tracks. I need the next book asap.

Wow!!! What a ride.
I absolutely loved the dynamic between Jessica and Kane — how it built up and got so f****** intense! 🥵
Beyond their instant chemistry, I really enjoyed Jessica’s character — the way she managed to dominate so effortlessly was just chef’s kiss.
My feelings toward Kane did a complete 180, especially after that last chapter. 🤯🤬 I’m still fuming! How dare this asshole of a…

I need the next part of the story immediately! I want more of this delicious tension.

Please, Harleigh 🙏🏼

Go read this!

The men she writes are delicious!!!
You need to read this book!

Slow burn yeah, but ..
There's still stuff happening, very hot stuff! 😏🔥

I love the fact that Jessica is a strong FMC!
The mouth on Kane, oh lord! 🫠🤤

He gets SO obsessed with her in 0.001 second haha and keeps messaging her on IG.. this one got me: "Think you can try not to cut me while I fuck you into the mattress?" 🫠🫠

I LOVE THIS BOOK AND YOU WILL TOO! 🤭🖤

ARC Review Fatal collision

• Forbidden Romance 🔥
• Rich boy x girl from the other side 💸➡️🏚️
• Opposites Attract ⚡️
• Dash of Street Racing 🏎️💨
• Primal Play 🖤

Every time harleigh writes, she delivers. There hasn’t been a single book of hers that I haven’t devoured in one sitting and this novella is no exception. If anything, it left me desperate for more because the next book cannot come fast enough 😭✨

Jessica is just trying to survive: a sick mum, an alcoholic dad, an overprotective brother, and a little sister depending on her.

One night she ends up at Kane Ravencourt’s house, tries to steal from him… and gets caught. And that’s when she becomes his newest obsession 👀🔥

Jessica is that girl fierce and loyal . And Kane Intense, obsessive … and he wants her.

The chemistry, the tension, the forbidden pull between two people from completely different worlds Perfection.

Thank you to author_harleighbeck for an arc of this book I loved it 💕

am obsessed with an fmc who holds power over him while carrying her whole family on her back. the way she loved her little sister, especially with their mom being ill, was so tender and real. she did not baby her; she understood her. 🥹 and kane.. KANE🤩🥵.. the power switch between them is LETHAL. 😮‍💨 one minute he’s dominant, the next she owns him completely. and when he broke that guy’s hand for touching her???…i folded instantly.😮‍💨😮‍💨 that ending…ugh it hurt. my heart breaks for kane. 💔😞 no one deserves that. this book was so good! i can’t wait to read book two. 😊😊🤭


“Eyes on me, pretty boy.”- 😮‍💨😮‍💨

“You’re crazy, you know that, right?” “All the best women are, Kane. You’ll soon learn that.” Fucking Kane… invading my thoughts again.’- 🤭

Its like a Romeo and Juliet thing but Juliet is a badass and takes what she wants... and he's not used to not being in control. Oh and there's street racing. I'm kind of obsessed with both of them. This was a nice little appetizer, I'm definitely glad book 2 is already out cause I'm immediately diving into the next one!

Wow. The vibes in this novella were IMMACULATE. Holy fuck. Of course I can count on Harleigh to take me out of a reading slump. Jessica may just be my new favorite FMC. What a bad ass bitch. Our MMC Kane quite honestly has me barking like a dog. Woof fucking woof. The fucking MOUTH on that man.

I am always a sucker for a rich/wrong side of the tracks trope and this exceeded any expectations I could have.
The way I was giggling and kicking my feet. The banter. The sexual tension. The angst. Ugh it’s all so fucking addictive. I am so so excited to see where and how this story is going to go. I fear I’ve unlocked a whole new personality because I’m obsessed with Kane & Jessica.
