Crazy For Love by Victoria Dahl
5.0
Can Victoria Dahl write a bad book? So far, I don't think so. Laugh out loud funny, relatable but not cookie-cutter characters, and an intriguing plot line? What more could I ask for? I love her. I love her for writing these fabulous books and these fantastic characters.
In this one, you've got two great romances for the price of one! Four excellent characters with flaws that make you want to squeeze them and hug them like puppies.
Max Sullivan: Today Max Sullivan had discovered that he only had two speeds: fake and charming or freakishly awkward. Jesus. He’d spent so many years pretending to like women he didn’t care for that he couldn’t manage the most basic interaction with a girl he really did.
Except that it wasn’t that simple. Max was nothing like anyone she’d ever known. Charming and grumpy at the same time. Laid-back and constantly worried. He was complicated, and the layers fascinated her.
Max takes responsibility for anyone and everyone. He's got a bit of a control issue, and though it doesn't sound adorable, I couldn't stop giggling and saying, "He's... so... cute!" Chloe's the only one to see through this, so, of course, she's perfect for him.
Chloe Turner: She’d told Max she’d been a good girl in high school. The truth was that she’d always been good. Always. And look where that had gotten her. Screwed over, knocked around and left on the side of life like road kill. She was a laughingstock and an infamous bitch, and she didn’t even know what she’d done to deserve it.
And this is what she has to learn: I am peaceful. I am beautiful. I’m calm and confident and definitely not a Bridezilla hated by the whole world. And I am having a vacation fling with an adorable treasure hunter with control issues.
Max finds out about who Chloe is at the middle of the book, which I appreciate. There's nothing more trite than a big bust-up over fake identities at the end to give the couple just one more obstacle to get over.
Then we've got the best friend of Chloe, Jenn, and Max's brother, Elliot, who also have issues and are also perfect for each other. This book is written excellently, and I love how the multiple plots blend together seamlessly.
Read this one. Now.
