"Fine," he muttered, telling himself he was doing it for Olivia, for Carly, and even for Lisette. Not because he had any interest in spending time with Special Agent Sonora Vasquez, or getting wrapped up in her strong, slender arms again.
Do you smell that? That is the smell of subversion, burning up the pages of the romance genre! The hero wants to be wrapped up in the heroine's strong arms.

A very good read with separate plots that come together very well -the suspense behind who's the real murderer / hero and heroine's background and falling in love / the secondary love story of his daughter -which I loved. I didn't feel that the H/h love story was the main focus, or that it was a great romance, but combined with the rest plus characterization and writing style, it made up for a very good read. I also liked the surfing setup near San Diego, which brought good memories of the year

My first book by the author and definitely a good intro. It was a bit strange because this is the first book with settings that I personally know. I've been to Torrey Pines high aka the rich kids school LOL. I've been to the beaches mentioned here. Ah....the joy of Southern California :)
Ok, back to the book. This is also my first book with a surfer hero. I loved that. Was a nice change from the other books I'd read before it. I felt the meeting between the h/h was believable enough. I More...

Excellent mystery, suspense and romance. Full and intriguing character development.
REVIEWER’S OPINION:
It was so good, I stayed up too late. I didn’t want to stop reading. The characters and events were unique, different, and pulled at me emotionally. Things happened in ways I’m not used to.

When Carolyn Crane told me how much she adored Jill Sorenson novels and even compared her to Megan Hart, I couldn't hold myself back and bought 2 of her backlist titles. I started Crash Into Me and I read this 400+ pages novel in under 24 hours. It just took me so long because of the evil job and OMG I'm in love.
Crash Into Me is such an emotional and suspenseful novel that I fond myself at a loss for words. Some books are just that good that you have to tell everyone about them and I More...

Sonny Vasquez is a physically strong and leading heroine contrasted by a slightly physically weaker hero, Ben Fortune. But his stamina, drive and determination more than make up for it. There is a strength in their rocky relationship. The narration changes a lot to focus on the secondary characters like Carly, James, Stephen and the murderer.
This book was definitely written by a newly published author and it shows. It's rough around the edges and a tad too long, especially to wrap up More...

The plot synopses is accurate enough I suppose, but the crazy antics of FBI agent Sonny are, well, crazy. Hey, I can go with a fairytale... up to a point. This, ahem, federal agent immediately jumps the bones of her prime suspect, befriends and abuses the trust of his troubled (she's a cutter) teen daughter, and it doesn't occur to her that these crime-solving techniques may be questionable. Come to that, no actual crime detecting actually happens. The hero who, natch, is innocent because no her

3.5* This was almost a 4 star book for me. The suspense plot, although fairly standard fare, was nonetheless written with enough complexity, secondary characters, and red herrings to make it satisfying if not original. The sex scenes were decent although I wasn't comfortable with the secondary relationship between the teens. It's not the moral implications, but the fact that "spying" on the teens' love life feels voyeuristic to me since they are underage. Aside from that issue, the nov

Not sure how to rate this one. I loved the story. Great suspense, fast moving, good writing. But I didn't like Ben at all. I thought he was arrogant and immature. He does this whole "woe is me" thing throughout the book. I'm a bad dad, I was a bad husband, blah blah blah. Then he continues to make immature decisions. What kind of man leads his 16 yr old daughter to believe he's using a woman for sex so she'll see how men really are??? That was stupid. Guess what Ben--you were

I had a rough beginning with CRASH INTO ME. The formatting for the Google Books file was a bit off, making for seamless transitions where I believe paragraph breaks were in order. Above and beyond the formatting, however, I also had difficulty warming up to the characters. Carly is *such* a brat with Tourettes, but as much as I disliked her, even I thought her suicide-by-rip-tide attempt deserved a lot more attention than it received. Eventually the character blips smoothed out, however, and

This book was recommended to me through an Amazon Discussion for Favorite Romantic Suspense. I hadn't read anything by this author, the sub-genre was new to me so I thought I would take a chance. I thought the author really enticed you into the story making it very interesting with lots of action, many subplots and it was never slow. It is what I would call a grown up story not sweet and funny, but serious and at times intense.
I love athletes! Their bodies are always hot, their sexy and the

This is good. I didn’t want to put it down. I just wanted to keep reading and reading to find out what happened next. Call me slow, but I didn’t know who the killer was. This story is just as much about Carly (Ben’s daughter) and James (her boyfriend) as it is about Sonny and Ben, so be prepared for plenty of teenage drama.
There are more point of views that just the usual two and at first it was kind of annoying. But as the story goes on, it settles in nicely to More...

The main draw for me with this book was the setting. It was set in La Jolla, California which reminded me of my days of living in Oceanside, California. I had a friend that lived near La Jolla and every Tuesday we had dinner at her house and this story made me think about those days and miss those days. I picked this book up at the Used Bookstore because I remembered different reviews of the book and was curious enough to want to read it.

The man who three years ago killed Olivia Fortune, wife of a famous surfer, commits suicide in prison and in his suicide note recants his confession. Just like that, the case is open again, also thanks to a few more recent victims with the similar MO, and FBI Special Agent Sonora “Sonny” Vasquez is sent to the Californian La Jolla community to investigate the surfer’s possible culpability.

As I was in the midst of reading Crash Into Me, all I could think about was the warm California weather because in my neck of the woods, I have been surrounded by snow, rain and below freezing temperatures. The setting of Jill Sorenson’s romance suspense novel is Southern California. I consider myself to be a north east girl all the way, but after reading Crash Into Me, I wanted to jump on a plane and move to the west coast and surf my days away. Or maybe I would be better suited as a beach bunn

I waver on whether to give this three or four stars - because the characters and setting are really compelling and well-drawn but the suspense plot could be tighter. And having read The Edge of Night, I know Sorenson can do better. Maybe it's because I read so much YA, but I liked the dual romantic plotlines - a pair of adults and a pair of teenagers. Never encountered that in a capital R Romance before.

I dunno. I liked it, but maybe this book tried to be too many things. It wanted to be long (fine), it wanted to be a romance/thriller (acceptable. no new ground was broken), but THEN there was the teen drama/romance, which was a book all on it's own! I think the teen part was more interesting than the adults, but since they were teens, they were also more annoying than the adults...sometimes.

Wow! I really love this book. It had the best of a lot of worlds... romance (both teen and adult), humor, suspense, drama, mystery, action etc. I was really impressed with this book! I loved some characters, despised others, and couldn't help getting sucked into the drama. Loved it!!!!

This was a great book! The heroine is tough and no nonsense, and the hero is her match in just about every way. Great story too, I had no idea who the bad guy was until the end! Definitley worth being sleep deprived (because I stayed up all night reading) to have read this book.

I have to say I actually liked this romantic, steamy thriller. It's definitely a good book for the beach/summer read. I felt like the relationship between Sonny and Ben was authentic.

Not every book should cross genres. This author seems like she'd be good at romance. The 'suspense' seemed forced.
