Crashing into Her

Relationships are a thing of the past for Eva Montgomery. Her current motto? You can't spell "manipulative" without man. But Eva has needs, and a one-night-stand at her best friend's wedding is the perfect way to kick off her new approach to singledom. Then a job opportunity puts her in the same city with the guy she can't forget . . .

Anthony Castillo is a perpetual bachelor--no strings, just flings--a status he maintains by being honest about his intentions and never looking back. So why is he still thinking about the firecracker of a woman who rocked his world at his cousin's wedding? It's a question he refuses to answer, until she comes crashing back into his life, taking his emotional walls down with her.

When her father doubts her ability to make it in LA, Eva vows to go big and prove him wrong. With her athletic background, she's an ideal candidate for stunt work. But first she'll need training, and the instructor is none other than her former hookup, Anthony Castillo. Except he's not as cocky as she remembers and he's definitely still sexy as sin. The only problem is . . . Anthony doesn't want her anywhere near his stunt school--or his heart.

"Snappy writing imbued with a deliciously acerbic sense of humor . . . the new go-to author for fans of sassy and sexy contemporary romances." --Booklist

Everyone hooks up at a wedding. At least, that is what Eva Montgomery tells herself when she gives in to temptation and indulges in a one-night stand with her best friend's sexy-as-sin cousin Anthony Castillo. It isn't like the two of them are ever going to see one another again, right? Of course, three months later, when Eva moves from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to jump-start her fitness-training career, who does she bump into? Fortunately, in a city as big as L.A., it should be easy for Eva to avoid Anthony that is, until she decides to supplement her income by trying to pick up some stunt work, only to discover the instructor in her stunt class just happens to be Anthony. In the wrap-up to her Love on Cue series, rising romance-star Sosa (Pretending He's Mine, 2018) once again delivers the goods for readers with another compulsively readable contemporary romance fashioned from equal measures of memorable, multilayered characters; addictively zingy humor; mouthwatering descriptions of Puerto Rican dishes; and some red-hot, boldly sensual love scenes.--John Charles Copyright 2019 Booklist

Library Journal Review

Eva Montgomery has had it with men. Her last few relationships have made her adopt the motto, "You can't spell manipulative without man." A change of coasts may be exactly what she needs for a fresh start. After moving from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to work at a friend's fitness center, she finds that an incredible one-night stand also happens to teach there. Anthony Castillo is a stunt instructor and perpetual bachelor. After watching his father pine for an absent wife and one really bad relationship, Anthony has sworn off deep connections-that is until the woman he slept with at his cousin's wedding shows up as a new fitness instructor. Soon the two bond over family recipes for pastelles and their aversion to commitment until they both see that they want something more. This final book in the "Love on Cue" series (after Acting on Impulse and Pretending He's Mine) glows with equal parts sass and sensuality while introducing protagonists of color who end up finding their "happily ever after" through some difficult personal growth. VERDICT Sosa continues to use L.A.'s film industry as a backdrop, this time focusing on fitness instructors who work as stunt performers. Her multicultural and multidimensional characters rely on family and friends to help navigate through both life and love.-John Rodzvilla, Emerson Coll., Boston © Copyright 2019.
