Wow...just wow, Crash Into Me was simply amazing!  Not since reading Backstage Pass, by Olivia Cunning, have I been so enamored by, and in lust for, guys in a book band.  The boys of Shaken Dirty are just super yummy and I can't wait to devour every book in this new series!Jamison is a spit-fire and I loved the spark of her personality.  She is honest, smart, and independent. She wants to pave her own way much like her brother Jared, but after losing her job, breaking up with her boyfriend and wrecking her car, she feels as if her dreams are no longer within reach. Until she goes to Jared's concert and comes face-to-face with her biggest dream and long-time crush - Ryder.Ryder is the lead singer of Shaken Dirty, a band he formed with his best friend Jared in high school.  They have finally made it big but he is still haunted by the past and can't move beyond the tremendous amount of guilt that he feels, so he shuts down and refuses to let anyone in.  He is so broken and tortured by the guilt for things that he cannot change, and was never responsible for.  He only knows darkness, until Jamison shines a new light into his world.This couple was just absolutely beautiful together.  The best moments of the book for me was being able to watch how, together, they were able to breath life back into Ryder.  Through love, acceptance, understanding and hope - Ryder became whole again.  He was no longer broken, tortured or ridden with guilt.  He had purpose, strength, happiness, love for himself and so, in turn, was able to love Jamison.  Admittedly, their story was not easy or without hurdles - but they were able to overcome them and were made stronger because of them.I loved everything about Crash Into Me.  From the sexy tattooed rockstar, the confident and fierce heroine who refused to give up, the music and lyrics presented throughout, the dynamics of the band and every member in it, to the beautiful love story within.  Every point hit me in just the right spot.  After reading the Epilogue, I am even more excited about the books to come and how they will progress the overall story arc for the boys of Shaken Dirty.If you love contemporary romance that features sexy and lovable rockstars, Crash Into Me is definitely a book that you must read!  Tracy Wolff has delivered a fantastic set of characters, amazing plot and the beginning to a new series that, in my opinion, is phenomenal.
