Synopsis:
In this irresistible new novel by Mary Ann Marlowe, one woman’s up-close and sexy encounter with a tabloid sensation reveals the dizzying—and delicious—dilemma of dating in the spotlight . . .
Celebrities hold zero interest for photographer Jo Wilder. That’s a problem, since snapping pics of the stars is how the pretty paparazza pays the rent. So when Jo attempts to catch a money shot atop the broad shoulders of a helpful bystander, the only thing she notices about the stranger she straddles is that he’s seriously hot. Only later does Jo learn that he’s also Micah Sinclair—one of rock’s notorious bad boys…
Soon Jo is on the verge of getting fired for missing a Micah Sinclair exclusive. Until she’s suddenly being pursued by the heartthrob himself. But how can she be sure the musician’s mind-blowing kisses are the real deal? Her colleagues claim he’s a media whore, gambling on some free PR. But something has Jo hoping Micah’s feeling the same powerful pull that she does. A pull so strong, she can’t resist becoming his latest love, even if it means she might become the media’s latest victim . . .
Rating: 4.5-stars
Review:
A Crazy Kind of Love by Mary Ann Marlow is a super good contemporary tale. It was gooey and sweet. Heartache, trouble, and a whole ton of drama followed the protagonists everywhere. It was hard not to get sucked into this story. It found its way into my heart. I wanted to cry, laugh, and Hugh the female protagonist. She’s a lot stronger than she thought she was. Josie is the heart of humanity in the paparazzi business. She’s an excellent photographer who worked for the wrong business. Her boss Andy is a total jack***. His vulgar and meaning ways should have had him fired instantly. How he lasted as long as he did will always keep me guessing. Then, there’s the heroine’ best friend, Zion. He’s bi. His heart is in the right place for his BFF, and he is everything a girl could want in a loyal friend. Zion took great care of Josie in every tight situation. I applaud his character. Last but not least, is the heart throb of this novel, Micah. A famous musician. Apparently, his sister has had a bad dealing with the boss that Josie worked for…and her mistrust of Josie is understandable. Yet somehow, the two women became friends. Micah trusted his gut in that Josie is a good person. Not once did he ever doubt her on a professional or on a personal level. He made my heart melt. The issue of Josie’s pain between her and her father’s lack of presence in her life hurt like hell. I felt so sorry for her. Overall, A Crazy Kind of Love is exactly right. A Crazy Kind Love that one never expected to happen…just might happen after all. I highly recommend this novel to all.
