Crazy for Your Love

omg, exceptional, I love these books, I love the writing, lexi, you are a phenomenal writer and reading these have been one of the best adventures of my life, can't wait to keep reading

Crazy for Your Love is yet another literary hit from the uber-talented Lexi Ryan! I cannot get enough of The Boys of Jackson Harbor series; and even though this book is part of the series, it can be read as a standalone. Although I highly recommend reading them in order because each book is fantastic! Carter and Teagan…*sigh*…their connection is so simple yet so complicated at the same time. Both are attracted to the other. Simple, right? You would think so. Two people who are drawn together, with promises of desire and passion, could only mean positive outcomes. But where you’d think it should be simple is anything but. It’s both Carter and Teagan’s personal demons and internal battles that makes their connection from friendship to romance beyond conflicting. Both are quietly suffering from past tragedies, and both are reticent on sharing how shameful and broken down they truly are. As much as I loved the comedic elements in story (and believe me, I’m a huge romcom fan), it’s the dramatic and contentious dynamics between the characters that really showcases the originality of the story line verses the stereotypical friends-to-lovers romance. The relationship between Carter and Teagan takes its own journey–from witty, flirtatious attraction to deep and profound love and acceptance. Their pasts may present a strong influence on their lives, but it doesn’t define who they are in their core. As flawed and imperfect as both characters are, Carter and Teagan couldn’t be more perfect for each other. Nothing worth loving comes easy, and these two characters more than prove that. Alluring, breathtaking, and tumultuous, Crazy for Your Love was just crazy good! 4.5 Stars!

Another great read by Lexi Ryan! Crazy for Your Love is book five in The Boys of Jackson Harbor. Each book centers around a well know family, the Jackson's. Each book is a standalone with a different couple. This is Carter and Teagan's story. Teagan's whole family is coming to Jackson Harbor for her little sister's destination wedding. Teagan is happy they are all coming until she finds out that her crazy ex is coming and is going to try to get her back. Teagan has avoided him at all cost. She needs a plan...Why not convince Carter to be her fake boyfriend for the weekend. Simple right? Teagan is best friends with Shay who is Carter's sister. Teagan is actually pretty close to all the Jackson family and is good friends with Carter. Secretly since she moved to town a few years ago, she has had a crush on him, but won't act on those feelings. Teagan has a strict no heartbreak rule. She knows that it would go from lust to love in a blink of a eye. Will Teagan break her rules? Enter Carter, Mr. Hottie Fire Fighter. He recently became the local "hometown hero", but he feels anything but that. Struggling with losing his friend and firehouse buddy, Carter is resorting to "un" Carter like behavior. However, Teagan is the girl he wants, but she basically has friend zoned him and he realizes that he really isn't the guy for her. He feels he isn't worthy of her. Can Carter see his worth again? These two have some much chemistry that the sexual tension pours off the page. I loved that! When things start unraveling, I was hoping that Teagan would start standing up for herself. I loved the banter between them and I adored her little sister. Both Carter and Teagan are flawed characters, basically they are normal people and I think that is why I connected pretty easily with them. They each have some guilt and have let the demons feed off that. But can they let the guilt go? Can Teagan learn to trust again? Will this crazy scheme end up being the real thing? Lexi did a great job with the storyline. It was witty, sexy and a good read. My only problem with the story was Teagan's secret. She comes across as sassy, but when it came to that she just let them run with it until it blows up. Where was her sass? Overall though, a great read! I can't wait for Shay!!
