Stand Alone Title: yes
Author: Lexi Ryan
Genre: Romance
Blurb: A family wedding with a fake
boyfriend, meddling parents, and an obsessive ex . . . What could go wrong?
The only thing worse than being single at my sister’s wedding is finding out
that my ex will be there too. Not just any ex—the guy everyone expected me to
marry, the man I came to Jackson Harbor to escape.
Now I need a date, and fast. Enter Carter Jackson—the firefighter who’s dealing
with an unwanted five minutes of fame ever since a shirtless photo of him
saving a puppy went viral. He’s warding off propositions left and right, and he
needs a fake relationship as much as I do.
Sweet and sexy, Carter is completely off-limits. See, I have a rule. A no
heartache rule. Not only is Carter my friend and a known heartbreaker, but his
job as a firefighter puts him in danger daily, and that’s something I just
can’t handle.
The commitment between us might be pretend, but the passion all too real. As
crazy as it makes me, I have to keep Carter at an arm’s length. Even that might
not be enough to spare my heart.
Crazy for Your Love is book five in The Boys of Jackson Harbor series. All
books in this series can be read as standalones.
Favorite quote(s)/excerpt(s): “I’m trying really hard not to let my hoo-ha call the shots right now.”
He coughs and raises his hand, one brow arched. “Can I be on team hoo-ha?”
Thoughts: I love a good friends-to-lovers romance, and this one was no different. I didn’t read any of the prior books in the series, but I thought it was easily read as a stand-alone. Carter was a little bit of a playboy, and he has a wicked sense of humor – and a naughty streak a mile wide. He’s had a bit of a thing for Teagan for a while, and when the opportunity arises to get closer to her, he jumps on it. Sure, he has a bit of a past with the ladies, but he’s a guy and he thought there was no chance for him and Teagan. I don’t hold it against him. He just seemed to be waiting for any signal from Teagan that the attraction he felt was returned.
The book was funny and engaging, and while it probably wouldn’t be in my top five favorites in the friends-to-lovers category, it is still a well written romance – it would be a shame to pass it up.
