This felt a little too over the top and I struggled to want to pick it up. Might be my mood.

Just what I needed
I needed something light and fun to read after the numerous fantasy books I consumed in October. This book fit the bill. The book is written in first person from Tia's POV. While I enjoyed this book immensely, the characters felt a little 2-dimensional. That being said, I had a smile on my face the entire time.

cute, funny, and enjoyable.
#1 Crush was an audible book for me - it's on the romance package via audible (you're welcome!). Like I mentioned up above, it was cute and adorable. In it, you will meet Tia. Now she is the opposite of boring because this girl has the BIGGEST crush on a celebrity and just starts pretending that she's an actress like him. Oh lord, some scenes were a bit painful to listen to because at one point you have to start questioning things - like his this guy really that gullible?
Enter that guy, his name is Eric. He was anything but gullible. I mean the guy is an actor so it wasn't that hard to believe that he caught onto her at one point. Yet, the one thing he didn't count on was falling for the girl. I mean, the relationship was hot and heavy during many points in the book. Plus he could totally be himself around her and never had to put on a show or be fake. They worked together oddly enough and I enjoyed every second of it.
Overall, I can't believe this is a series.. and now I'm wondering where the heck book 2 is at because I want in.

I have had this book on my TBR list for agesssss and I do not know why I did not pick it up sooner! It's a fun and witty read, really light on the story line and I cannot believe there's a hoard of brothers with other stories to follow!

I really enjoyed #1 Crush. Tia was a loon in the best of ways. I loved her. Yes, occasionally she got on my nerves, but overall it was a fun read.
Tia has a huge crush on Eric Larsson. Movie star Eric Larsson. The guy who is one of the hottest guys in Hollywood. I think it is safe to say she cyber stalks him. She knows almost everything about him. If there is a photo of him somewhere she has seen if. If she needs to know a personal detail about him she can find it. She is kind of crazy, but in a fun way. She decides that she needs to meet him to try and move on. See she figures no one is that gorgeous and nice and kind and everything he seems to be. No one. So if she meets him she will find out he is actually a jerk and then she is free to crush on someone else. Maybe someone more attainable than Eric Larsson.
So Tia comes up with this crazy plan to meet him and it doesn't go exactly as she planned. It was fun. I loved it! She was a loon. Now here is where she annoyed me at times. She lied about her profession when she first met him, but for some reason she can't tell him that. She figured they would never see each other again so why not? It is not like she is hiding some huge secret that he would hate her if he knew. No, she just doesn't want to say hey I made up this small thing when we first met cause. I didn't quite get it so she kept continuing the lie and at times that got to me. She could be a bit whiney about it, when it was an easy fix. However the results of said lie were pretty hilarious and for the most part the story was just fun.
Eric was super sweet. I don't normally like rich or famous people in my stories, but I loved him. He was just a normal guy who was a movie star as well. He was wonderful with Tia. And I loved how everything played out. He has a great sense of humor and it was so much fun watching the two of them together. Tia could get up to some shenanigans alright!
Overall this was a fun read. Tia and Eric were perfect together and I loved how crazy Tia was. Oh and I just realized this was book one in the series and we get Ryan and Lila's story next! I am really excited for that one!!

Un po' troppo frettoloso, ma divertente come pochi altri!
