About this ebook

A swoon-worthy romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!


Rule #1: Do not fall for your brother’s best friend.

Rule # 2: Absolutely do not fall for your brother’s best friend.

Rule # 3: Don’t break the rules. 


Shay


Jackson Stone is hot—like burn-down-buildings kind of hot. He’s also my brother’s best friend, and the memory of one kiss with him years ago still might get to me. Maybe. But, I am not looking for a second chance.


When I return to the small town of Stolen Hearts Valley, my life is a hot mess. I’m a few bucks shy of broke with nowhere else to go. My heart’s battered and bruised, and when it comes to romance, the door is nailed shut. 


But Jackson’s the kind of man women ruin panties over. Oh, and he's my roommate. Talk about too close for comfort.


When I’m at my most vulnerable, he pulls that whole knight-in-shining-armor thing. What can I say? He’s d*mn near impossible to resist.


Jackson


Shay Martin is my best friend’s little sister. And she’s so hot she nearly sets me on fire. 


She’s a walking complication, and I don’t do complications. But I can’t seem to stay away from her. It doesn't help that her bedroom is across the hall from mine.


Every look, every kiss, every touch nearly brings me to my knees. I can’t keep my balance, much less think. Before I know it, I’ll do anything for her. Complications be d*mned.


Keywords: Jackson & Shay's story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, military alpha heroes, smart sassy heroines, friends to lovers, second chances, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a deeply protective broody hero.


*A full-length standalone romance.

Good book, but not good enough to get five stars. The female lead is a rape victim, but still think about sex with the male lead. Is this how all rape victims feel when they got raped a few weeks or months ago, and still think about having sex again? I feel like books with rape victims need to be more realistic. Shouldn't they feel like they need time to process about what happened to them and take time to decide if having sex is a priority right now. And yes, a guy might be super handsome and sexy, but that doesn't mean that you need to have sex with them. Providing that, this book is not so great.

wish the description came with a warning or I read some of the comments. shay was abused by her ex and raped. the ex is a famous politician son and the dad tried to down play what his son did. what gets me is that he didn't go to jail, even though there was evidence and witnesses. what put her ex in jail was him killing 2 people while he drove drunk. I couldn't continue to read the book.

This Crazy Love is a fantastic contemporary romance by J.H. Croix. Ms. Croix has once again provided readers with a well-written book. It is written in first person, alternating point of view format, my least favorite. I do love the characters in this book though, they are spectacular. Shay moves back to her hometown after her boyfriend beats her. Jackson's sister invited Shay to stay with them when she arrives. Shay and Jackson's story is packed with drama, humor and sizzle. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from J.H. Croix soon. This Crazy Love is book 1 of the Swoon Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
