The girl with straight As, designer clothes and the perfect life—that's who people expect Rachel Young to be. So the private-school junior keeps secrets from her wealthy parents and overbearing brothers...and she's just added two more to the list. One involves racing strangers down dark country roads in her Mustang GT. The other? Seventeen-year-old Isaiah Walker-a guy she has no business even talking to. But when the foster kid with the tattoos and intense gray eyes comes to her rescue, she can't get him out of her mind.

Isaiah has secrets, too. About where he lives, and how he really feels about Rachel. The last thing he needs is to get tangled up with a rich girl who wants to slum it on the south side for kicks-no matter how angelic she might look.

But when their shared love of street racing puts both their lives in jeopardy, they have six weeks to come up with a way out. Six weeks to discover just how far they'll go to save each other.

Crash Into You, the third book in the Pushing the Limits series, is by far the best yet.  Isaiah and Rachel’s story is full of romance, action, and high stakes.  It’s completely unputdownable.

Isaiah takes center stage in Crash Into You and it’s about damn time.  Isaiah has played a role in both Pushing the Limits and Dare You To but this is the first time that readers really get to know him.  He’s much deeper than you would think and I loved that there was more to him than meets the eye.  Isaiah is a bad ass with a good heart.  I loved him from the start.  As for Rachel, I’m glad she didn’t let his looks foll her.   She may have looked like an angel but she definitely had a little bit of devil in her.  She was perfect for Isaiah.

The supporting characters were also fabulous and wonderfully well-developed while still having a hint of mystery (for future books, I’m hoping.)  Rachel’s family is completely crazy but they were always there for each other.  Beth/Ryan and Noah/Echo were also in Crash Into You and it was great to see how their relationships have developed.

The story is supremely fast-paced, especially for a contemporary story.  The stakes are very high for Rachel and Isaiah.  It’s not just their relationship on the line.  This time it’s their lives.  There is high stakes car racing, secret relationships, and so much more.  Katie McGarry knows how to hook readers and she’s definitely done that with Crash Into You.

Overall, Crash Into You is another favorite of mine from Katie McGarry.  Read this one as soon as you can!
