Perfect Collision (Marauders MC #2)By: Lina Andersson4/5 starsEver since the prologues were released, I’ve been waiting for her story! And Mac, Brick’s oldest son is so understanding and encouraging, you’ll fall hard for him in this book.Violet has ADD, hyperfocus, dyslexia and is socially awkward. School is not easy for her. But her mom, Ella, won’t quit comparing Violet to her older sister Lisa. Lisa has always had good grades, school came easy, and she even left for college in California to become a doctor. Ella is in denial over Violet’s diagnosis and thinks that she is just being lazy in school. Ella’s attacks don’t stop with just her school performance either. According to Ella, Violet doesn’t dress right, wear her hair right or even measure up to herself or Lisa.Bear, Vi’s dad, understands her and what she is going through, because school was hard for him as well. This causes more tension between Ella & Bear, and Ella tries to say that it is because Violet is his “real child.” But he loves Lisa just the same, and he understands that their daughters are two completely different people and treats them as such. Eventually, all their problems add up causing Bear & Ella to divorce.Violet stays with her dad & her mom moves to California to be closer to Lisa. Violet retreats into her artwork like she always does. Mac happened to oversee some of her work and compliment her on it. Eventually suggesting that she could become a tattoo artist and make money doing her artwork. Once planted, this idea takes a foothold and Violet is sure it’s what she wants to do. Bear gets her an apprenticeship with one of the best tattoo artists in Phoenix.Eventually, Mac transfers back to the Greenville charter after doing his prospecting and staying for a few years at the Kansas charter. He notices that even though Violet is still a minor, she has definitely grown up. He has to work at reminding himself to stay away & not cross any lines. Due to Violet’s awkwardness, she never really made friends, didn’t have any boyfriends and is a completely inexperienced virgin.A few months after she turns 18, Mac & Violet strike up a relationship. A relationship about learning and getting ready…for sex. I adore how Mac is with Violet throughout this time and completely fell for him.There are other roadblocks & obstacles that Mac & Violet face during this book. But I ended up liking this book more than the first one. Edie and Dawg are still awesome & in this book.
