I had a rough beginning with CRASH INTO ME. The formatting for the Google Books file was a bit off, making for seamless transitions where I believe paragraph breaks were in order. Above and beyond the formatting, however, I also had difficulty warming up to the characters. Carly is *such* a brat with Tourettes, but as much as I disliked her, even I thought her suicide-by-rip-tide attempt deserved a lot more attention than it received. Eventually the character blips smoothed out, however, and the sex scenes were well written enough to make up for a multitude of sins. Don't think I'll ever re-read this one, but I'll certainly pick up another Jill Sorenson in the future. ( )

This was a great book! The heroine is tough and no nonsense, and the hero is her match in just about every way. Great story too, I had no idea who the bad guy was until the end! Definitley worth being sleep deprived (because I stayed up all night reading) to have read this book. ( )

I've never come across a hero/heroine quite like Ben or Summer/Sonny or a cast of secondary characters like these ones before.

Ben was such a combination of wounded soul, arrogance, lost, full of himself and so very....loveable and odd. He's champion surfer who made a name for himself in his younger days. To say he was a wild party animal would be putting it mildly. But when tragedy struck, he made a 180, but still kept enough of the wild guy about him to make him utterly fascinating and compelling. He admits he was a Class A Asshole and from the glimpses we get, the reader has to agree with him - he was!! But now he's a single dad, struggling mightily with a troubled, smart mouthed daughter who you want to slap and hug at the same time, a recovering alcoholic, and *laughing* a vegatarian and a total studd muffin.

Summer/Sunny is an equally fascinating character. She's someone loaded with issues - issues we don't get to see until much further along in the book. She's constantly leading poor Ben on, then almost beating him up when he goes too far. It's funny and touching and sad all at the same time. She is an F.B.I. agent looking for a serial killer and Ben is a suspect. Because of her incredible attraction to him, she's constantly doing things, as an agent, she shouldn't be doing, knowing that she shouldn't, but unable to stop. And we, the reader don't blame her. Written by a less skilled writer, some of the things she says or does, we would be thinking 'wait a minute here', but with this writer, it makes sense - at least to me.

This one is a mighty fine example of the genre and it gets two thumbs up from me! ( )
