I love Melissa Toppen's books. She always takes me on a roller-coaster (which is ironic since I actually hate roller coasters!

I loved how the book started with a scene from the past, with Kam and Elara. The auto really did a great job of showcasing the friendship, affection and love between Kam and Elara.

Even though I had all the faith in the world that the author would make me love this story, I was worried. With all the "flashbacks"/past scenes, I just couldn't see how Elara was going to end up with Kane. Would it be believable!? Would there be chemistry!? Would it feel like he was just a replacement for Kam!?

I honestly shouldn't have worried, because the author took her time. Setting up the friendship and eventual relationship between Kane and Elara. I loved seeing them slowly fall for each other as their friendship developed. But, like I said...roller-coaster...I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. And it did. I was practically reading with my eyes closed because I couldn't watch as things blew up.

Things definitely blew up. I was expecting it, just not quite in the way it happened. But it had to happen so that there wouldn’t be any issue or confusion between the characters as to who was being chosen and why.

I have to say that I loved the way Kane loved Elara. I loved seeing him so into her and how much he wanted her.

This book definitely surprised me, in such a good way, and I definitely recommend it!

Crazy Stupid Love - Melissa Toppen ***** April's 5 Star Review ***** 5 Dreams and Screams

Crazy Stupid Love is the first of three STANDALONE novels in the Crazy Love series.

I want him...
Unlike I have ever wanted anything before in my entire life.
I knew it from the very moment his eyes met mine; the way my skin burned under his dark gaze.
I knew nothing would ever be the same again.

Decklan Taylor isn’t just tempting, he’s dangerous; a storm who destroys everything in his wake. But even as I stand in the path of his force, I can’t turn away.
While he may be the very thing that breaks me, he’s also the only thing that has ever made me feel alive.

Crazy Stupid Love can be read as a standalone novel or as the first book in the Crazy Love series.
It is intended for mature audiences and is NOT recommended for readers under the age of 18.
All I can say is wow!! I started reading this story and before I knew it, it was over. I couldn't put it down. I was sucked right in to the story right from the beginning. It made me laugh and cry. I love Kimber and Decklan. It broke my heart hearing what the tragedy that Decklan had suffered. The story of these two was amazing. If you want to read a book that is crazy, stupid incredible, life altering love then this one is for you.
