This is Crazy was OK, but there were too many times I was rolling my eyes to really enjoy it. I liked the family commitment, support and love shown between the characters and additional characters. The hero and heroine were able to communicate effectively so that any issues were resolved quickly.
BUT...
I did not need the brand names, excessive wealth and fame shoved down my throat at EVERY opportunity to understand that these characters had money. In the middle of a sexy scene, we even had brand names in the description. WHO CARES WHAT BRAND BOXERS HE'S WEARING?!? A sexy man in black boxers is appealing unto itself.
I get it, she's beautiful, she's sweet, she's amazing!! The overuse of *My sweet, Zara* got old, really, really old. The hero was a little too perfect, to be honest. His one stumbling in their romance was completely justified and he forgave her very quickly. Her excuse was LAME!!
Every time there was drama, alcohol was brought out to soothe, fix or celebrate. I'm all for a drink or two but even I found this excessive.
I'm sorry to say but I think my tastes in contemporary romance stories have changed. I think my age and lack of tolerance has impacted my beliefs in a fairytale...unbelievable romance. I was a little distracted by editing issues as well. Overly descriptive paragraphs that did not progress the story or enhance the scene, drove me a little crazy.
This is Crazy will appeal to a wide range of romance readers but unfortunately, it wasn't right for me. It had a mutual attraction between the hero and heroine, sizzling chemistry and a happy ever after to leave readers satisfied. I also bought this story for $1.00 which is a bargain.
