Crashing Down by Cathryn Fox is the first book in the Summer Lovin' New Adult series presented by several authors and it appears this will be a really interesting series. We all know it is so hard to resist the bad boy especially when he sets his sights on you and Kathryn (Kat) Lane is no exception. Against her better judgment and a few choice warnings she can't seem to stay away from Noah Ryan the summer she interns at Stone Cliff Resort in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. These two seem so different on the outside, but they come to realize that they are really very much alike and they both seem to bring out the best in each other. This book was touching and sexy; there were some hard lessons learned and a lot of soul searching. It really was a coming of age story as these two discover more about themselves than they ever thought possible in such a short time.From the very first chapter it is evident that Noah likes to live life on the edge and that he is a troubled young man. He lives life like it's his last day on earth, he makes bad decisions, and he doesn't apologize to anyone but we also see that he's a good friend to those in need. When he meets Kathryn for the first time he can tell she is as closed off as he use to be and he vows to help her loosen up. Kathryn had her whole summer planned out in her head; work, work and more work but when Amy a co-worker and then Noah decide to help her loosen up, her summer turns out much differently and much better than she ever imagined.I loved watching Kat come into her own during this story and while some of it had to do with Noah a lot of it had to do with her taking a look at her life and seeing it differently than was planned for her. The thing is I really think she didn't like herself very much or maybe it was more that she didn't like her life when the book started and as it progressed we saw her blossom and it was truly special. Noah also underwent some great changes during their time together and even better was that he opened up to Kat like he hadn't done with anyone before. These two shared so much with each other; hopes, fears, dreams and yes, love. That's not to say there weren't some critical errors made, but even those were part of them learning about life.Exciting, entertaining, sexy and fun; I can only hope the other books in this series will be as good as Crashing Down!Review copy provided for an honest review.
