Crushing on You

Finalist for Best First Book and Best Mid-length Contemporary Romance in the NJRW 2020 Golden Leaf Awards.

Anna Tang doesn't date Asian guys. Her own Chinese family is bad enough, and she's not looking to double the trouble. Besides, she's busy chasing her dream of becoming a music journalist, and she's going to march towards it single-mindedly-and single, if need be.

But when she meets a handsome stranger on a flight to a wedding, she's charmed. Intrigued. Seduced.

Too bad he's Asian, and not her type.

Ian Gao has a great tech job and rock-hard abs from years of climbing. His parents hope he'll settle down soon, but he's drawn to the fierce and lovely Anna, who doesn't plan on getting married. Ever.

But the more time they spend together, the more it feels like coming home. Does Ian have what it takes to make her to stay? Or are the walls around her heart too hard to climb?

Praise from readers:
"Jen's debut novel is witty, fast-paced, and a joy to read. A book I didn't want to put down, and made me laugh out loud multiple times. Think Meg Cabot-style fun meets millennials, with the associated techies, foodies, and climbers we all know and love. Can't wait to see what happens on the rest of the series!" - Romance reader and expert at V0s and the occasional V1

"Surprises and chemistry abound! I will also never think of bathrooms in quite the same way." -Jaiden Mercury, author of Resonance in San Francisco
