"Robinne Lee's Crash Into Me is the kind of novel you want to devour in one sitting, but savor it slowly because you never want it to end. From the first page you know you're in for a ride that promises mystery, desire, and danger, both emotional and physical. As if that weren't enough, Lee delivers sharp observations on Otherness and belonging, the rabid cultural consumption of Beauty, les temps perdus, and the toxicity of the privileged. Make no mistake, in Lee form it is sexy as hell. Or Heaven as the case may be." - Jennifer Beals

"An illicit romance. The sins of the fashion world. A mysterious past. With CRASH INTO ME, Robinne Lee weaves a sensual, captivating story that's so deliciously propulsive, I pushed "pause" on my entire life to read it. Such elegant writing! Robinne Lee has created magic, once again". - Tia Williams, New York Times bestselling author of The Missed Connection

"Actor and author Robinne Lee delivers erotic suspense as glittery and sensuous as Tinsel Town itself." - Time magazine

"I absolutely loved this beautifully written book which mixes thoughts about race, class, beauty, art and relationships with an edge of your seat story about love, betrayal, secrets, and learning to inhabit your own self. It felt like a book for grown ups - thought provoking and compelling. Robinne Lee effortlessly creates layers that draw you in while also giving an insight into the worlds of Hollywood, French cinema, art exhibitions and modelling, all set against the context of an era in which society is facing some uncomfortable truths. I was gripped" --Ellie Levenson, author of Room 706

"I didn't think I'd love any book as much as The Idea of You, but this is a devastatingly good follow-up. Rarely does a novel move with such intoxicating confidence - at once sensual and sharp, every sentence gliding with purpose. The language shimmers, the pace refuses to loosen its grip. A gorgeously written, utterly propulsive read." --Laura Jane Williams, author of Our Stop

"This will keep readers turning the pages." --Publishers Weekly
