Such an amazing book. Love the story and writing. Love the characters. Couldn't put it down. Can't wait for the next brother. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Cristian Bianco is downright delicious! Crushing on the Cop is book two in the Blue Collars Brothers series and I am seriously in love!
Cristian is not at all what I expected! Sweet, sexy and kind but boy does he have an alpha buried in there. I love the fact that he is a man on a mission and knows what he wants...and he wants Vanessa.
Vanessa is an independent woman yet totally closed off to everyone. She’s got secrets, daddy issues and more, but she’s definitely caught the eye of one hot cop after she won a date with him in an auction.
I enjoyed the banter, chemistry and sexy times between Vanessa and Cristian. I like that he gave Vanessa the space she needed to realize what exactly it was that she wanted. I love that we got more on Maddie and Mauro (from book 1), more family times and fun moments with friends. I’m really excited to see where book #3, Engaged to the EMT, takes us, especially after that ending!

Cristian and Vanessa had the love-hate tension down on every page. I loved the family aspect of all the brothers.

These Bianco brothers know how to steal a girls heart! I am absolutely loving this series and know I’m going to be extremely sad after it’s over.
Cristian is the middle brother and as of right now, he’s my favorite brother. He is sweet, kind, and you know he was raised right by his mama but I LOVE that he has some alpha hidden in there too. He is determined to get the girl, even when it might mean risking everything. I mean she is his boss’s daughter after all.
Vanessa is a feisty, strong, and independent woman. She also happens to have a thing against cops; it doesn't help that her dad is the Commander. After “winning” a date with Cristian and putting it off for months, she finally finds a way to make him prove that she should go out with him. Their date turns out to be a bit of a disaster but sparks fly.
Boy oh boy! The chemistry between these two was HOT! Christian is a man on a mission to win the girl who has captured all of his attention and Vanessa is on the opposite side of the tracks. She wants nothing to do with him and is determined to fight the attraction she feels for him. There is so much more to their story than meets the eye and I loved every second of it.
I love that family remains such a strong theme in these books. It’s something that I can really relate to. I’m so dang excited for Luca’s book but I also don’t want this series to end. They will be for sure re-reads in the future.
Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.

I couldn't finish this book. I just couldnt which sucks because I seriously LOVE the hero Cristian and his brothers. The heroine just completely runs this. She is a total and complete b**ch. CANT STAND HER!!! And how any man as honest, caring and protective as Cristian can give someone like her a second thought is beyond me. I dont care how beautiful she is if he had any type or self respect or standards he wouldn't be pursuing her. She is selfish, vain, heartless, crude, and just mean as hell. Such a disappointment.
