It’s funny sometimes how the book with the simplest plot just finds a way into your heart. I may not agree with all of the actions and decisions made in this book but I like this author’s style. I love how the story played out and man the cliff hanger?? Priceless. The characters well they need some help. Kayden with all of his baggage has started to turn his life around after meeting Lana. She helps him face his demons and calls him on his crap, something no one has done. Lana, well she is another issue. Someone needs to teach her how to put her big girl panties on and stop being a push over. Which is funny cos she is strong but when it came to choosing whether to stand up to his mother and psycho woman she backed off for her own reasons.
Either way it goes this isn’t a standalone so don’t cry when the blurb gets you and you find out you need the second book cos you do. This is the debut read for this author and it is very well done. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series. The good thing is it will be out real soon so you wont have to wait.
This is a new author to me, and I will certainly be looking out for her work in the future! This is also the 1st book in a new series. Lana needs to get away and rebuild her life after being left at the altar. Kayden is a playboy, who needs to take control of his life before it spirals out of hand. These two do not meet under the most normal of circumstances, but the chemistry between them is explosive. This is a well written story which is filled with drama, lies, secrets, and love, which all had me hooked and intrigued throughout, and I cannot wait to read the 2nd book in this riveting series.
This is the first book i have read by this author. This was one amazing book. What a storm indeed. The ending wow. Leaves you hanging with so many unanswered questions. Lana wanted a break. A month long vacation away from everyone and everything. She agrees to housesit for her best friend. Little does she know that she is going on quite the adventure. It all starts when she is ran off the road by Kayden. Then Kayden plows through the restaurant she is at. Then he is staying at the same house that she is. Surprise surprise Kayden is her best friend’s brother. Through a snow storm wild things happen between these two. Add a nasty mother and a girl who wont give up into the mix and you have quite the storyline. But Paula the best friend and sister finds out the truth and comes to the rescue but will it be enough? Loved the storyline and the characters. I cant wait to see what happens in the next one.
At the end of the day, when the kids are all tucked in bed I love to sneak away and have a few quiet minutes to myself. Most recently I could be found reading “Crashing Into Me” by R. L. Jackson.
A year after being left at the altar, Lana McKenzie was working to rebuild her life. Just when she thinks she has things under control, her life comes crashing down around her after an embarrassing encounter with her ex and his new fiance. Needing to escape and heal her broken heart and damaged pride, she runs away to house-sit at a quiet mountain estate.
Lana is sure that she will be able to find peace at her mountain retreat, that is until Kayden Capshaw comes crashing into her life. Kayden is an out of control playboy desperately trying to escape his past before it destroys him.
Forced together by a winter storm, Lana finds it more and more difficult to keep her distance. Will this budding romance be able to withstand the forces that are trying to pull them apart?
The author has created a contemporary romance with interesting characters that are defined by their unique life experiences. I love that neither character is perfect. They are flawed just like the rest of us. They both carry emotional baggage that developed from painful experiences in their pasts. The story shows us how your personal experiences make you into the person you are today. We see how these feelings shape whom you become and the decisions and actions you make through the lives of each character.
Ms. Jackson will transport you to a small town, nestled in the mountains through her very descriptive storytelling. She will make you feel a full range of emotions from contempt to empathy. She shares the characters memories and experiences to the point where you feel like you are really there, sharing in the moment.
“Crashing Into Me” is the first book into the “Crashing Series” of books. It can be read as a stand-alone book, but if you don’t like cliff-hangers then be sure to purchase “Crashing No More”, Book 2 in the series.
*Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of “Crashing Into Me” from the author in exchange for my review. All opinions are 100% my own.
