About this listen
How do you keep existing when your heart is so splintered, so completely torn to shreds, your pulse is fading? You're…broken. How do you move forward when every breath is nothing more than a constant ache? Living becomes an insidious reminder that you threw away the single largest part of yourself. Your…soul. No amount of distraction can pull you from the torture of losing your…life.
Now that Emily Cooper has walked away from her first love, she finds herself running toward her only love. Unraveling fast, but clinging to hope, Emily risks all she has left on the man that has consumed her every thought and dream since the day they met. Will Gavin take her back? And if so, will their reunion be a collision of two hearts destined to complete one another and rekindle a love that knew no boundaries? Or will scars from their past rip open, tearing slowly at what each of them was meant to be? Can fate, the ultimate game changer, mend the shattered road it laid out from the start? Only time will tell…Tick-Tock…

Macon Davis. My best friend’s brother. My tormentor. My least favorite person. Pothead. Delinquent. A careless, directionless loser. That’s what I used to believe, but I didn’t really know him. And when I finally saw him, it was the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. We burned hot and fast. Passion. Anger. Love. Pain. We were reckless. Naive. We were doomed from the start. When I finally saw Macon Davis for who he was, we both went down in the flames.

I was upgraded to first class on a flight from London to New York. The food, champagne, and service were impeccable. The blue-eyed man sitting next to me, even better. He was suave and intelligent. We talked and laughed, and something clicked. Fate took over and the plane was grounded, and we had an unexpected stopover for the night. With no plans, we made our own.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

Story
The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I’d always envisioned. I’d found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key. You see, my favorite songs had a way of playing simultaneously. I was in love with one man’s beats and another’s lyrics. But when it came to the soundtrack of a life, how could anyone choose a favorite song?

Smexy to the end
This book is the conclusion to Collide, which I enjoyed. I felt like this was a good ending to the series. I really enjoyed some of the plot twists. Even though you could guess what was coming it still kept your interest. I have to say that the smexy talk got to be a bit overdone. I like romantic dialogue but 3/4 way through you were say alright I know you are madly in love and that he is your entire world. Emily and Gavin are drawn together from the first and I think that the author makes you feel their passion and need for one another. Gavin is strong but also compassionate. He has a volatile temper when it comes to protecting Emily. Emily is not a weak woman. Although she is dependent upon Gavin for support she has endured a lot and holds her own. I like that Emily's and Gavin's friend are in this book as well. Fallon and Trevor are a unique couple. Olivia is a hoot and crazy. There are tense moments that keep you listening. I still feel that the narrator did a good job but some of the voices were just annoying to me. I like other narrator's better but overall Marsy Kowal did ok. I think this is a good solid listen. The two books are long and so you feel you get a credit worth. I would recommend this book .

Special kind of love
What made the experience of listening to Pulse the most enjoyable?
Just the deep love that Gavin had for Emily. The way he expressed it and fought for for her. He was truly her knight in shining armor. I also liked the development of Emily growing into her maturity and finally taking a stand.
What did you like best about this story?
That Emily finally ended up with a good guy.
Which character – as performed by Mary Kowal – was your favorite?
Hands down Gavin. He is a man any woman would be lucky to have.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
****spoiler alert***** I almost cried during the breath chapter. I couldn't imagine her having to go on without her guy by her side to help her ith her little man
Any additional comments?
Loved it. Sad that it came to end.
