 When I received Moment of Impact by Karen Stivali for review I almost didn't read it because when I saw the cover and saw Book One I was afraid this story would end in a cliffhanger but I dug in and from the first line in this book, which has to be one of the best lines ever in a new adult M/M book, I was completely and utterly hooked. As college roommates Tanner and Collin give in to the attraction between them, new feelings and discoveries abound forcing them both to examine their lives. 
 Told from Collin's point of view we see how confused and sheltered he's been his whole life. Brought up in a strict Catholic family his views on sex and intimacy are skewed to say the least but when Tanner confronts him basically head on and forces him to admit his feelings thing really begin to get interesting. There was something so special about the way the relationship played out between these two. With Collin so inexperienced and basically very shy about all aspects of sexuality Tanner took the reins having had more experience. I loved the way Tanner was so patient with Collin and encouraged him to ask for what he wanted, to share his thoughts, and to explore. That's not to say he didn't get impatient with Collin's unwillingness to own up to their relationship but even that forced some necessary changes in their lives. 
 While this story left Collin and Tanner's relationship "in progress" it did leave them in a good spot but that's not to say they don't have some obstacles to overcome as their relationship progresses. However, I'm excited about what the future has in store for these two bright and beautiful young men and I am so looking forward to the next book in this series.
