Crazy Love (Looking for Love Book 2)

You know almost from the very beginning the outcome but its still a fun, light read. The characters are interesting and the fact that its set in the US but with many Aussie phrases makes it fins once many are unfamiliar to the average American.

I'd recommend it for a very light read.

Very entertaining read, slightly predictable just because it is a romance novel...but overall the story is evenly paced and the characters are interesting although a bit corny. I did enjoy it very much!
I would recommend this book.

I am enjoying the book, but the language mistakes are driving me crazy! Words are left out, names and words are mis-used, like using "homely" for "homey"...
And if you ae not famiiar with some British terms, you might be a little lost.
But it is a cute story line. Enjoy!

I found this book too slow and predictable. The fluidity and the pace of the narration are ruined by the excessive use of "slang" expressions, metaphors and tortuous sentences, not to mention the annoying typos that punctuate the text. The love story and the characters lack of any originality or unexpected turn. The supposed wittiness of the characters sounds too forced and insistent to hit as a positive note, mostly it strikes as misplaced and superficial.

Crazy Love

CRAZY LOVE by USA Bestselling Author Nicola Marsh is a September 2012 release.

Marc Fairley came looking for his divorcee mother, Olivia, when he gets her email that she is on the verge of getting married to a local farmer in a small town. And to make matters worse she met her farmer fiancé online through a Internet dating service.

Sierra Kent is the Internet Matchmaking site's owner. She lived in the small town named Love, so what else would she do? She matched people to live happily after! By making them fall in love.

Olivia was her client and Sierra's computer matched her with Hank, the local farmer. So Marc strides in her office, to ask about her matchmaking, and sparks fly.

The dialogue is snappy, fast and hilarious. Sierra gives back as good as she gets.
Marc starts getting close to Sierra but can their fling last? After all Marc is a no commitment man. He runs the other way when women get too serious. Then he finds that Sierra's company is on the top of his hit list- to takeover. So will he get the company and lose the girl or lose the company and get the girl? He needs to buy out the company to be one of the top.

Flo is another small town character. She is fun, witty and hilarious. And she is old, but falls in love with Marc's butler Will.

CRAZY LOVE is a small town based romance story. Nicola Marsh is a terrific writer who creates likeable characters. I loved reading about the affairs of secondary characters. The sensuality in the love scenes is scorching hot. Yet the relationship and trust issue depicted in this story is realistic. This is a romance story highly worth reading!

My rating 4.5 out of 5 Stars.

Crazy Love by Nicola Marsh is a feel-good romantic story with some really fun matchmakers.

Sierra Kent is the owner of Love Byte the most sought after Internet dating agency but while she enjoys matchmaking other people she doesn't do love herself, for she does not trust her instincts or her emotions.

Marc Fairley is CEO of LA's premier acquisition company LA-Corp, and he doesn't have time for Love. All is interested in is finding the person who setup his mother with some rancher, convincing his mother that she is not in love and getting her and himself back to LA to his job.

What he doesn't expect is that once he arrives in Love it feels like he has stepped into a parallel universe.

Now Sierra has to find a way to convince this city-Slick that Olivia is truly in love and that her uncle loves her too, before he ruins the life of the only man that has been worth something in her own life.

The chemistry between Sierra and Marc is undeniable, but how long can they resist the attraction before they burst into flames. With the help of a brash Aussie waitress, a British butler and a mother who can't help but meddle maybe these two people who don't believe in love may just find themselves acting on their attraction. But his life-long goal of taking over his fathers prized position in business might just drive away the woman that is coming to mean a lot more to him.

All's fair in love...and matchmaking!
At least that is what Marc Fairley is thinking as he rolls into Love, California. And, Marc, upon meeting Sierra the match making guru of Love Bytes, just as the reader does, finds out that it just ain't so.

I thought this was a great book. As well as being a wonderful romance story for the leading characters, there was romance in the air for everyone, even the butler it seems.

"Belle picked up her handbag. "With my luck lately I'd settle for a Martian." "I hear it's not the size of the antenna that's important, it's the way the Martian wiggles it."

The author was so descript in describing the town of Love, that the reader was able to be transported and immersed in the little town. You felt as though you were riding in the car, walking along hilly paths, fishing in a stream, and attending the annual Love Fest with the characters.

"Sierra came across an old Post-it note where Belle had scribbled "GOLF" and stuck it to the bottom of the drawer. Her friend's motto of "Guaranteed Orgasmic Laid-back Fun" hadn't steered Belle wrong..."

The book held many characters within its pages; each one, well developed and entertaining. I enjoyed the humorous "Cupid's Dating Tips for the Enlightened Male" at the beginning of the chapters. I also like when the female character holds her own, and in this book, Sierra gives as good as she takes. The author also did an outstanding job with the bantering dialogue between all of the characters.

"Has there been much talk about Sierra and me:" Hank cast out. "Pardon my bluntness, but a man can't fart around here without someone running behind to fan it." Marc laughed so loud a flock of geese took flight."

For me, I found similarities between the book and the movie, Pretty Woman. I felt like I was reading about Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. There is a sleezy Scully who works for Marc Fairley, and the butler reminded me of the Concierge from the hotel (whom I loved). Then, there's Flo - picture Mel's Diner here, and the best friend, Belle. All were great supporting characters.

"Marc struggled to consciousness, wishing the bizarre dream where Sierra was smacking him in the face with a sodden towel would vanish. As his eyes peeled open he found it wasn't a dream and the large, wet object slapping his cheek wasn't a towel..."Where the hell as I?" he muttered, sitting bolt upright as the dog started nibbling on his toes."

Technically speaking, the book contained few grammatical errors, the characters were developed and likable, and the story line was entertaining and comes to a close without leaving the reader wondering what happens now. With such great characters you have to give this book a 5*.

"He stilled and she clung to him, her face buried in his shoulder, not willing to stop, not his time. "Kiss me again-" "We've got company." She raised her head, surprised by the laughter in his voice. She'd expected regret, recriminations, and excuses, not the deep rumbles making him shake. She followed his line of vision and saw Flo's face pressed against the windowpane, her mouth a perfect O."

Fast,fresh,fun and delightful is only a few words that come to mind when describing the fun and funky new book by brilliant author Nicola Marsh.

I fell hopelessly in love with the town LOVE and with the characters,every character was unique in a fresh new way. The scenes very vivid and so much fun to read!

And having Sierra be the guru behind the charade so to speak into which Marc has to stride into was truly awesome ! I loved how we had a feisty Sierra vs a non committing and argumentive Marc it made the book so much more enjoyable.

Nicola Marsh has always been a favourite of mine as she is always able to create the type of books that can simply sweep you away into a world of romance and while your there believe me you will not want to come back!

Well done Nicola !

5/5 star review

Sierra Kent loves her job at the Love Byte dating agency. Marc Fairley works too hard at A-Corp, hoping to be the biggest, best companies. Sierra set Marc's mother up with her uncle in a small town. Marc doesn't like this. At all. And then the real stuff begins.

Nicola Marsh seriously knows how to write a romantic comedy! While there was no crying, there was some laughter, frustration, and nervousness during the reading of this one. My emotions were right with the characters, and I just wanted them to figure it all out! There were many levels or side-stories in this one, so it was easy to fall in love with the characters and really get into their stories. There aren't too many surprises, but I enjoyed the read the whole time.

Like I mentioned, there are many other stories. All the different characters are just that - different! They all have their secrets, back stories, personalities, and intricacies. From Olivia to Flo, Hank to William.. they're all great! Flo might have been one of my favorites.. haha. Belle was pretty great too. I was hoping things would happen for her in the end. Either way, I definitely enjoyed reading this one.

There were quite a few editing issues that I hope to see resolved. This one is self-published by the author instead of going through some of the traditional publishers she's worked with. The cover is super fun and, like with all Marsh novels, this one reads just like a movie. Definitely check it out!

I was pleasantly surprised with this story...I really, really liked it. By that I mean, I could not put this story down! The characters were so wonderfully well-rounded, fun, and engaging. I really liked a lot of the supporting characters; they were very well done and added immensely to the main story. The plot was solid and believable. The end was slightly weaker than I hoped for, but I am still really glad that I read this story...a fun, quick, engaging read.

Cute Story | Good Characters | Laugh Out Loud funny

I enjoyed reading this story. I really really love the author's writing - her pace, characters and style are always a hit for me! This book delivers great pace, interesting characters and good story. I was laughing out loud at the interaction between several of these characters.

Preferred the development of some of the sub characters more than the main ones. Decent quick read but I don't know not enough convos and lots of retelling the same facts in various places making it a bit overkill or wordy.

My first Nicola Marsh book and most certainly not the last! I really enjoyed reading this and recommend it to anyone that enjoys nice little love stories. I enjoyed the humour and all the varied characters in this book, couldn't put it down.

Funny funny. Even in the first chapter "...She'd auditioned most of the decent guys in town for a GOLF game and had stopped well short of a hole in one every time" GOLF Guaranteed Orgasmic Laid-back Fun. Perfect. Well done Ms Marsh again.
