ARC Review: Crazy for You by Rachel Lacey

“CRAZY FOR YOU is my favorite story in this series so far!”
~ Under the Covers

CRAZY FOR YOU is my favorite story in this series so far! There is a very cozy feeling to this series with the small town setting and the close knit group of friends. This book encompasses all that by bringing a friends to lovers trope and mixing it with a best friends sister. Ryan is known as a bad boy. His best friend, and Emma’s brother, died years ago while serving in the military and Ryan has never felt comfortable looking at Emma in any way as a woman. Her teenage crush on him, however, pushes her to take a bet from her friends to live on the wild side for a bit before moving away from town. Ryan just fits that bill.

I love friends to lovers stories and you could tell there was a great connection between Emma and Ryan from the very beginning. They’ve grown up around each other and care for each other deeply. Seeing their feelings change, allowing for their physical attraction to come into play was a lot of fun.

While their romance is growing, both characters are also dealing with changes in their personal lives. Ryan finding his brother and Emma figuring out what she wants out of her career and where she wants her life to take her. Ryan is the more stable and comfortable with where he’s at in life and she still has to get to that point.

The setting and friendships are such a crucial part of this story, and that’s one of my favorite things. You really feel the connection between this group and the situations they face seem realistic and relevant.

Sweet, fun and adorable. This book was a breeze to read and had the right amount of teasing for the next novel. I cannot wait for it!
