Re-entering the world of the Chicago Stars is like a beloved friend come to call. #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr Thaddeus Walker Bowman Owens, the backup quarterback for the Chicago Stars, is a team player, talented sideline coach, occasional male underwear model, and a man with a low tolerance for Divas. Olivia Shore, international opera superstar, is a driven diva with a passion for perfection, a craving for justice, too many secretsand a monumental grudge against the egotistical, lowbrow jock shes been stuck with. Its Mozart meets Monday Night Football as the temperamental soprano and stubborn jock embark on a nationwide tour promoting a luxury watch brand. Along the way, the combatants will engage in soul-searching and trash talk, backstage drama and, for sure, a quarterback pass. But theyll also face trouble as threatening letters, haunting photographs, and a series of dangerous encounters complicate their lives. Is it the work of an overzealous fan or something more sinister? This is the emotional journey of a brilliant woman whose career is everything and a talented man wholl never be happy with second place. Tender and funny, passionate and insightful, this irresistible romantic adventure proves that anything can happenwhen two superstars collide.

This is a typical read from this author. Fast and with a little heat. I did get a little frustrated with the contrived angst brought on by the games each character played with the other in an attempt to “not fall” for the other. Otherwise a good read ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #romantsy

This was a cute romance. It was predictable. The only thing I did not like is the silly games that Olivia and Thad played once they acknowledged their feelings. It felt unnatural. Also the way Olivia accused Thad of something without facts or considering the source was not a great plot line.

Typical SEP romance. I had a good time reading but I've read so much of her work that I could kind of guess where all the plots were headed. I did laugh though because the subplots were so dramatic they fit with the opera theme. I'm assuming that was the point.

After a string of intense reads, romance was a nice change of pace. I've always been a big fan of SEP and When Stars Collide was a wonderful addition to her Chicago Stars series (though it also stands alone just fine). I loved the idea of pairing a renowned opera star with a famous football player, and enjoyed their personalities, banter, and chemistry. Though I did think there was just a little too much time spent on the mystery piece. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was amazing! Possibly my favorite (or at least one of my favorite) SEPs! Great characters, snappy dialog, sweet love story, and an interesting mystery.

Even though I have read better books by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, I still found this one entertaining. I wish she had left the mystery out of the plot completely and just focused on the romance between Theo and Olivia. The mystery is so boring and the big reveal is very anticlamatic that it is just not necessary. I did like the chemistry between the hero and heroine and SEP's trademark humor is present and that is always welcome. 3.5/5.
