Review of Crush by Lacey Jackson Weatherford

 

 

Cami Wimberley has a plan, and that plan includes no room for boys—especially the big time party animal, Hunter Wilder, no matter how handsome and charismatic he is. She’s beautiful, a senior, extremely talented, gets good grades, and is working her way toward her dream college to be a musical theater major. Everything is perfect.

Hunter Wilder does not want a girlfriend—that would complicate his life way too much right now. He especially doesn’t want this girl, Miss-Goody-Two-Shoes, so how come he can’t keep his eyes off her? He tries to keep her at arms length, but fate seems to keep pushing them together. Before long, it’s obvious to everyone they’re crushing on each other.

As sparks begin to fly, Hunter finds himself sinking deeper and deeper into hot water. Soon he’s scrambling to keep Cami from discovering his dark secret—one that can destroy their entire relationship. *goodreads.com*

 

 

Opposites attract in this latest novel from bestselling author Lacey Weatherford.

Cami Wimberley is the quiet, laid back, no nonsense good girl.  Perfectly happy living her insanely normal life, being almost invisible as she finishes her senior year preparing for college.  Hunter Wilder redefines the term bad boy with his smoldering good looks, charm and charisma.  Polar opposite of Cami, he prefers the party animal life style, and is known at school as the ladies man.  When these two collide sparks will fly.

Weatherford goes back and forth showing us both Cami and Hunter’s POV throughout, managing to maintain the viability of the story and keeping Hunter’s secret’s right to the very end.  Weaving a tale of drama and suspense as we watch the relationship between Cami and Hunter grow, and as hard as Hunter works to keep his secrets Cami works at unraveling them.  Obsession leads to deception as love, jealousy and betrayal collide leaving us with a jaw dropping revelation at the end.  Will Hunter’s secrets ultimately tear him and Cami apart, or bring them closer together.

Weatherford has a distinctive writing style with the ability to create storylines with depth and realism; her characters are real, believable and relatable.  If her name is on a book I immediately want to read it, regardless!  Crush is yet another success for the amazing author, I was very sad when I got to the end I just wasn’t ready for the story to end.

I give this one 5/5 guys, but that’s just my two cents!

 

 

 

Lacey Weatherford was born in Ft. Meade Maryland while her father was serving in the military. She has been a life long resident of Arizona, spending most of her time growing up in the small rural town of Clay Springs.

It was while she was attending the small country school in Clay Springs, that she read her first "big" book at the age of eight. It was a Nancy Drew novel and Lacey was instantly hooked. She read every book that she could find in the series and decided that she wanted to write stories too.

Lacey spent a lot of time at the library from that time forward, even volunteering in her later teen years and early twenties. She would don a crazy clown outfit for the Friends of the Library fundraisers in an effort to help get the new town library built.

When she and her husband moved away from the area, Lacey took the opportunity to take some creative writing classes at the local college to help further along her interests. Several years later, they were blessed with the opportunity to move back to Clay Springs with their family. The town had finally succeeded in building their library and Lacey had the opportunity to be President of the Friends of the Library for a very short time, before relocating.

Lacey and her family still live in the White Mountains of Arizona, where she continues to write young adult novels that have a fantasy/fairytale or paranormal bent to them, as well as being sure to include a great romantic storyline!
