We were like two stars orbiting each other—dancing around the possibility that one day we might collide. When we finally did, we opened up a black hole, obliterating everything around us. No one would be the same.
Least of all, us.
Least of all, us.
Waking up in Vegas married to the guy of your dreams sounds like a good thing, right? Not when you’re Thea Montgomery and said guy is your brother’s best friend.
Thea and Xander have always avoided the connection between them because her brother would never approve. Now, they’re married— the strongest bond you can have as a couple—and they’re not even a real couple…unless they want to be.
Thea wants an annulment immediately, but Xander’s waited too long to see her become his and he won’t let her go easily.
If she wants a divorce, fine, but he wants the summer to convince her that he’s the one. If at the end of the summer she still wants to end their marriage he’ll sign the papers, but until then…
All is not fair in love and war.

REVIEW
"Xander and I are like two stars colliding—I always thought we’d turn into a black hole, but right now, in this moment, I see that’s not it at all. No, we’ve simply merged into one, making a larger, more magnificent star."
When Stars Collide is the second book in the Light in the Dark Series it is a standalone but i would recommend reading the first book Rae of Sunshine just to get the full experience of this series. This is a beautiful story of friends to lovers or in this case friends to marriage! it's a fast paced low on angst easy read, it flowed beautifully leaving me with happy feels.
Xander and Thea have been friends since they were young children. Xander is Thea's brother best friend so when they wake up married in Vegas i can understand why they decide to keep it a secret at first not wanting to spoil a life long friendship. Even though they both have had these feelings for each other for a long time neither have acted upon them. Thea panics but Xander knows this is where he's always wanted to be. This leads to a lovely story of a couple working together on there relationship without all the pressure of others around them. We do get some drama but its not over the top which is why this is a beautiful story about love its not weighed down with major omg moments, sometimes you just want to sit down relax and fall in love and we get just that with Xander and Thea.
"I kiss her like she's the sun, and moon, and stars all wrapped in one. She's everything in this world that dreams are built upon.
I would recommend this series if you enjoy love stories that are cute, sweet, low on unnecessary drama and angst.

Unedited and subject to change.
Holy mother of all hangovers.
I’d succumbed to the lure of Vegas and gotten completely wasted. Granted, that’s what everyone did in Las Vegas but I like to think I usually have more sense than the social norm.
I rub my eyes and blink them open. The hotel room comes into formation around me. The walls are a warm golden color and the flat screen on the wall plays some home improvement show. I can see the bathroom from the bed, the tiled walls and large soaking tub.
I roll over onto my side, hoping I can sleep off the hangover, and reel back.
“Oh my God,” I cry, flailing in bed.
My legs kick the sleeping guy beside me.
Not just any sleeping guy.
Oh no.
Xander Kincaid, my brother’s best friend, lays in the bed beside me.
His dark hair tumbles over his forehead and his cheeks are covered with several days worth of scruff. His chest is bare and…holy shit. He’s naked.
I look down.
Oh God, I’m naked too.
“What’s wrong?” He asks, reaching his left hand out to pull me closer to him. That’s when I see it.
“Is that a wedding band?” I scream shrilly.
His eyes narrow. “You don’t fucking remember?”
I shake my head and look at my own hand. A thin silver band rests on my finger. “What did we do?”
He sits up in bed and I try to ignore how adorably rumpled he looks with his hair sticking up.
Everything begins flooding back to me in quick bursts.
Drinks.
Kissing.
Laughter.
Confessions of love and desire.
A wedding chapel.
Vows.
Rings.
A contract.
“We’re married,” I whisper. “Holy shit.” It’s all I’ve ever wanted—to be with Xander, but not like this. Never like this. “My brother is going to kill us.”
