CRASHING INTO HER

A Hollywood stuntman and a fitness trainer share an exciting and
energetic one-night stand but are unprepared for the gymnastic ability of their
hearts.

When Eva Montgomery gets stranded at an airport, Anthony
Castillo, her best friend Tori’s cousin, offers to drive her to a nearby hotel.
Eva has sworn off dating because of a string of bad relationships involving
manipulative men, while Anthony is emotionally reserved and has no interest in
romantic relationships—he gets all the thrills he needs by training aspiring
stuntmen. A heated exchange of barbs and sexual innuendo between the unlikely
couple culminates in a hot one-night stand, and the two go back to their
separate lives, secure in the knowledge that their paths are unlikely to
intersect too often. But when Eva moves from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to
work in Tori’s gym, Every Body, she has to share work space with Anthony, who
teaches self-defense classes at the studio. Their lives become further
entangled when Eva decides to turn to stunt work to supplement her income; she
needs all the training Anthony can give her. Despite their swiftness and
athleticism, the two get tripped up by their sexual chemistry and mutual
attraction. The third and final installment in the Love on Cue series is
charming and funny but lacks emotional heft. Although Eva’s sexual
frankness is refreshing, Anthony’s past trauma gets a perfunctory treatment
that makes the couple’s struggles seem superficial. But Sosa rescues the
romance from limpness by beefing it up with references to Puerto Rican cuisine,
contemporary politics, and popular culture.

An engaging romance that begins by packing a loud and sizzling
punch but ends with a whimper.
