Summary from Simon and Schuster
For Lucy Larson and Jude Ryder, love might be the thing that just isn't enough.
The only easy thing about Jude and Lucy's relationship is their love for one another. Everything else is hard. Especially when it comes to reining in Jude's trigger touch temper and Lucy's increasing jealousy of the female attention that Jude attracts. Feeling the stress of trying to hang on to her quintessential bad boy while becoming the foremost dancer in her class, Lucy knows something's going to break. She wants both. She needs both. But if she doesn't make a choice, she risks losing everything. - See more at: http://books.simonandschuster.co.uk/Clash/Nicole-Williams/9781471117633#sthash.6OeBwETu.dpuf

Nayuleska's thoughts
There was a little more ballet in this book,
but the focus was all on Jude. Lucy is a prize nitwit when it comes to her
trust issues, although I confess to having the same reaction as her when she
finds out a pivotal piece of info. I didn't like her roommate's principles but
I loved her straight talking and how she and so many others told Lucy what she
needed to hear - although that got repeated several times over which annoyed
me. I will read book 3 Crush just to find out what happens next after the
extremely dramatic and unexpectedly moving ending.

Suggested read
Read book 1, Crash, which has less ballet
than I expected and lots of trouble between Jude and Lucy.
