Crush (Crash #3) by Nicole Williams

Football glory. A giant diamond. A wandering eye.

Jude and Lucy are happily engaged . . . but that doesn't mean life's a bed of roses.

Once again, Jude and Lucy are torn apart by football training and a summer job that creates new tensions. This time Jude's the one with trust issues. Will Lucy's life-changing news bring them back together or end their relationship for good? Can love triumph forever?






What I liked: I really like the black and white color schemes of these new covers.  It's well written, fast moving and not quite as dramatic as the previous two books. The ending was satisfying and the Epilogue was very sweet and made me ugly cry. *shrugs* I have a soft spot for Epilogues. ;)

What left me wanting: This series has definitely "matured" from YA to NA over the course of the three books and the love scenes are explicit at times.

Final verdict: Fans of the Crash Trilogy will be happy with how this story ends.
