Reviewed on my blog, Becky on Books, on 2/24/19.
What a way to finish off the series!
Eva and Anthony's story did not disappoint. Eva's snarky inner monologue--not to mention the not-so-inner dialogue between the two of them--was often snort-out-loud funny. Their reasons for not believing in love were realistic--even when you didn't agree with them, you understood why they thought that way--and the path each took to finally come to their senses was 100% believable. I liked that they both had a hand in the relationship black moment, and that they both were able to admit they were wrong and move forward. Mutual HEA for the win!
And the eye candy reading this put in my brain can't be discounted either...where can I get my own stunt man hottie? ;)
Crashing into Her is the third in the series; for those who have read the others, you'll love seeing the heroes and heroines from the first two books pop in here (Tori a bit more than Ashley, since she's Eva's BFF and coworker) but you don't have to have read the other books to enjoy this one--it should work just fine as a standalone.
But OMG will it have you craving Puerto Rican food--don't read while hungry!
Rating: 4 stars / A-

Loved it. It was a funny, sexy and sweet all at the same time. I have been looking forward to their story since I read about them in Julian and Ashley's book.

I liked the heroine a lot, I thought Eva was just fantastic. But Anthony, the hero, fell a little flat for me. Overall, it was just ok, not as good as the rest of the series.

Very sweet, I loved the fitness job element.

I could really get behind this whole “steamy contemporary romance with people who actually communicate” genre.

Honestly, I'm used to there being some initial confusion at the start of a book, but that doesn't excuse lack of plausibility and realism. This dove headfirst into a "you're hot but we can't be together for flimsy not realistic reasons" within the first chapter. Perhaps because this is #3, and my library system labelled it as #1, so I'll give the *actual* first one a shot and see if I fair any better.
I had to stop reading due to cringing.

She sighs. "I don't know what to do with my feelings."
"Neither do I."
She throws her head back, leaving her delectable, kissable neck exposed for my viewing pleasure. "What's the point of honesty if we remain in the same place we've been since Day One?"
"If you think we're in the same place as Day One, then you are being dishonest with yourself again."
I'm happy to report that I feel Mia Sosa has offered up her strongest book in this series yet. she's had the bones since the beginning- [b:Acting on Impulse|33783458|Acting on Impulse (Love on Cue, #1)|Mia Sosa|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1497562743s/33783458.jpg|54668892] stumbled with some weird, direct humor at the audience but a sweet, breezy couple that did a good job fleshing out secondary relationships. [b:Pretending He's Mine|35068784|Pretending He's Mine (Love on Cue, #2)|Mia Sosa|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1503100424s/35068784.jpg|56364211] definitely was a huge stumble, with internal lust and no real conflict. This book feels like a cleaned up version of both of them, with a more understandable yet very low angst conflict. (Frankly, the conflict isn't entirely convincing, but it's not to Eva either)
Eva is Tori's best friend and Anthony her cousin. After the wedding, the two have a quick one-night stand and go their separate ways. When Eva ends up in LA with Tori to teach classes at her fitness center, she begins to cross paths with Anthony a fair bit. And this is where the set up smacked of a couple other romances. There's nothing new here, but there is something refreshing. There's strong nods to Puerto Rican flavor and family, Eva is black and often--in an upbeat and understandable way--makes mention of being the exhaustion of being the 'only' in a room. That is, culture and race don't take a back seat here. They also aren't preachy, and I found the internal and external dialogue on it easy to buy. Hurricane Maria came up, and while portions of that conversation did get a tad didactic, it isn't anything I wouldn't hear people discuss in my regular life.
So the main barrier is Anthony. He's honestly unavailable. He's designed it that way, it's not necessarily convincing, but it doesn't really get hung up on that. Because while he is emotionally unavailable, their lust exists, and their intimacy--real intimacy--begins to build. In romance, this tends to be one of my favorite romance trajectories. Thankfully, the cousin angle was a sneezable non-factor. Tori and Eva have plenty of conversations that aren't about Anthony and Carter, there's a lot of stunt & fitness talk, and appreciation of food.
Ultimately, this is a very uncomplicated, straightforward, easy read. I'm happy to watch and continue to read Sosa's development as an author, and am looking forward to the time when the romance development seems as well-rounded as the characters. 3.5
