SHE’S TAKING A WALK ON HIS WILD SIDE…
Emma Rush can’t remember a time when she didn’t have a thing for Ryan Blake. Haven’s resident bad boy is just so freakin’ hot-with tattoos, a motorcycle, and enough rough-around-the-edges sexiness to melt all her self-control. Now that Emma’s over being a “good girl,” she needs a little help being naughty . . . and she knows just where to start.
Before Emma’s brother enlisted in the military, he made Ryan promise that he would protect her from everything–including himself. When her brother doesn’t come home, Ryan needs to turn his screwed-up life around to honor his pledge. But he knows he’s still not the right kind of guy for someone as sweet as Emma. Only he can’t stop wanting to be with her. Wanting her. Falling in love with a good girl may be the craziest risk this bad boy can take . . .

Looking for a sweet and sassy friends to lovers story?! This it is. I have never read anything by Rachel Lacey and went with this book on a whim. I will admit that the cover snagged me and then I read the synopsis. It sounded like the perfect mix of romance, friendship, and heartache. I was not disappointed. Crazy for You is a great story that is full of heart and love.
Lately it seems like this niche of romance is a bit tired. Girl falls in love with her brother’s best friend. But this story is not the case. One of the things I loved about this story is that there is true history and a solid friendship between Emma and Ryan. They have been through so much together and that bond is strong, almost unbreakable, until emotions and passion start to filter in. This book stands out from the crowd because you can understand the hesitation but undeniable connection these two have. When they decide to go for it, you fall in love with their love story. It is hot, passionate, and so very sweet. It is like they are seeing each other for the first time with a head start towards love due to their years of friendship.
The details of this story also add some flair to the book! Their love of the outdoors and individual occupations add something fun. Emma and Ryan’s love becomes friendship on fire and is endearing to watch grow. Add in a fantastic group of secondary characters and you have a winning combo. I adored the support system and “family” these two have become surrounded by. It adds emotion and heart! If you are looking for a sweet, passionate love story, grab Crazy for You today!
Whoa. Emma closed her eyes and let out a shriek as Ryan guided the motorcycle onto Main Street and picked up speed. The cold wind whipped her face, taking her breath away. Beneath her, the engine rumbled and roared like a wild thing. Holy sh*t. She was on the back of Ryan Blake’s bike, and it was amazing.
The wind bit through her thin, knit gloves, hitting her fingers with an icy blast. Actually, every part of her was freezing, but she didn’t care. She wrapped her arms more firmly around Ryan’s waist, anchoring herself to him so she didn’t tumble off the back of the bike, and somehow her hands slipped beneath his jacket. Ahh. That was better. Toasty warm, and also…her hands were on his T-shirt. Even through her gloves, she felt the hard contour of his abs, and nope, she wasn’t cold now.
And this was absolutely freaking amazing.
She hung on tight as he guided them over Haven’s twisting mountain roads, deserted at this hour. Overhead the moon shone like a beacon, illuminating the night in its soft, silvery glow. The roar of the engine and the slap of the wind against her face shocked her senses. It was thrilling, invigorating, so completely different from riding inside a car.
She’d never have done this if Mandy hadn’t dared her, and now she felt like her eyes were open for the first time in years. This was what she needed. Somewhere along the way, as she sat at the bar talking to Ryan, she’d realized she was having fun, really having fun. And she wanted more. She wanted it all, every last wild and crazy fantasy.
All too soon, her building came into view. Ryan cut the engine and guided them quietly into the driveway, coming to a stop behind her silver Toyota RAV4. He turned his head to look at her, so sexy in his helmet and riding glasses. “So how was it?”
“Even better than I thought it would be.” She gulped for air. His lips were way too close to hers, and she was still a little bit drunk on beer and a whole lot drunk on her first motorcycle ride. Mandy’s words echoed in her ears. Bonus points if you kiss him. Just stand up a bit, lean over his shoulder, and…
Emma leaned forward, her chest sliding up his back as she tipped her face to his. Holy hell, she had completely lost her mind, but she was going for it. Every nerve in her body went haywire.
Clunk. Her helmet smacked into his, drawing her up an inch short of his lips.
