Description
It was love at first sight when Maria met Jack on a beach all those years ago. But when Jack suddenly disappears, Maria is thrust closer to Hunter, their long-time friend, taking them on a journey that changes all three of their lives forever.
Maria is a lonely young woman who finds love and acceptance with Jack, a free-spirited musician. In Maria, Jack finally has the girl of his dreams by his side. When Jack introduces Maria to his best friend, Hunter, he feels an instant connection to Maria, but he buries his feelings—along with his secret that he's a vampire—for the love of his friend.
Set in Saint-Tropez, Crush is a vampire tale with a twist. Spanning decades and delving into the past of each character in this thorny love triangle, it is about a woman who must choose between the man she's in love with and the man who is her soul mate. Adventure, love, romance, and vampires all collide in this unique novel filled with powerful emotion, heartbreak, and the question of undying love.

Torn between love for a mortal and love for a vampire, Maria must choose or be crushed by the consequences. Maria aches with loneliness, so much so, she plunges headlong into love at first sight when she meets handsome Jack. He fulfills her every desire and she’s happy. When Jack introduces Maria to his best friend, Hunter, everything changes. She’s drawn to Hunter and she can’t figure out what it is about him that she’s attracted to. They’re inseparable, the three of them, as they live in the French Riveria until Jack disappears. Bereft and alone, Maria clings to Hunter. He’s hiding a dark secret, one that could destroy them all. As the years go by, Maria must choose who she’ll vow her undying love to, and her choice will either free or crush her.
Crush is a paranormal romance with a gothic vibe. I’ve read a lot of paranormal romance over the years, and I can honestly say I’ve never read anything like this before. The love triangle is not what you expect. I found myself lured into the romance by the poetic prose and lyrical descriptive narration. The three main characters are complete opposites yet together, they’re the perfect match. The plot moves at an erratic pace with some jumpiness in parts. I found the pacing very jarring at times. The romance itself is dark, disturbing, and quite original. The vampire lore is completely new to me which I give huge credit to the author for incorporating it into a very crammed genre. If you’re looking for a twisted paranormal romance unlike anything you’ve read before, pick up Crush. You won’t forget this one after reading it.
My Rating: 4.5 stars
