Rating: 4 out of 5

3.5 Stars.I have read a few books by Tracy Woolf in the past couple of months, and all of them have the potential to be brilliant. Crash into Me is the same. I liked it and there were parts of it I loved, but it still didn’t blow me away. On the plus side, my ratings for each book that I have read by this author have consistently gone up with each book!We are all familiar with the rock group series format. There are dozens of books and series out there in this genre. I love the theme and I’m happy to read books along these lines. It stands to reason that you are going to encounter similarities due to the subject matter being written about and again I have no issue with that if the plot is well developed, I engage with the characters and it generally grabs my interest.Crash into Me has potential in all areas and I am looking forward to seeing where Ms Wolff takes us with this series.Shaken Dirty are –RyderJaredWyattQuinnMicahThis book focuses on Ryder, and Jamison (who happens to be Jared’s sister). They have known each other since they were children, Jamison has loved him for as long as she can remember, and after some not so innocent flirting they agree to a “casual, no strings” relationship whilst she travels on tour with them…..as you can work out this is not an original formula, and the first 60% of the book attests to that, and it rubs shoulders with a lot of other books out there on the familiarity stakes.That-said Tracy Wolff is exceptionally talented in the sex department, in that she writes some of the most original and hot scenes that I have ever read, and the last 40% of the book went off with a bang due to further developments with the rest of the band, and the gradual change in the relationship between “commitment shy” Ryder, and “hiding her true feelings” Jamison.I loved Wyatt, he stood out in this book for me, and I cannot wait to read his story. Jared also has massive potential. The epilogue was a bit weird as it gives you the names of all the women that the Shaken Dirty members are currently involved with, and seeing as it is book one in the series and we haven’t actually been introduced to the rest of the characters or their future women, you have basically been given a heads up as to who ends up with who in the rest of the series.So to sum up, I liked this book, it was easy to read and the characters were engaging. I am looking forward to the next book (fingers crossed its Wyatt’s story). Tracy Wolff’s writing is continuing to impress me, and go from strength to strength. A great start to what promises to be a good series.ARC provided by Netgalley, and it was my pleasure to provide the above review.
