I love Rachel's Texas books. She does such a good job of capturing the uniqueness of the people in smalltown TX. They really are into each others business and you won't really find ugly Texans. Not sure why, but few are butt-ugly. The honky tonks, been there, the music, hear it in my ears. All the teen hijinks, yep. Like she was raised a redneck, she does it so well.

Lily has a reputation. The town's folk of Lovett, Texas still refer to her as Crazy Lily even though she walked away from her wild days of partying many years earlier. When a new Sheriff's Deputy arrives in town they are immediately attracted to each other, but she is worried that if they have a relationship it will cause problems for her 10 year old son.

I so enjoyed this one... But then Rachel Gibson Books are always enjoyable. Loved Crazy Lily Darlington and her young cop hunk neighbor. Found myself rooting for her and especially for him throughout the book. And identifying with her crazy... I woulda been crazy if my husband did what hers did...
Good to return to Lovett, Texas and catch up with Daisy's younger sister, "Crazy" Lily. Nothing crazy about the 38 year old single mom these days. She owns her own home now, drives a new Jeep, and owns her own business. Still bugged by her ex, Ronnie, who still hasn't grown up and taken on the responsibilities of fatherhood to their 10 year old son, Pippen. There's a new Deputy in town named Tucker and he's 8 years younger than Lily. She doesn't want to be the center of the gossip mill again by...more

It’s been a while since I’ve read Daisy’s Back in Town The first of the Lovett, Texas books so I don’t really remember the heroine of Crazy on You as much as some of the other reviewers. Possibly, that hindered my reaction to the book. That said, I always think that every story, novella or novel, should include enough to stand on its own. I don’t get that in Crazy on You. I’m a huge Rachel Gibson fan and in the first book in this series there was SO much character development and struggle that I...more

Daisy's Back in Town is the only one of Rachel Gibson's novels that I haven't read. I love her books, especially her very male heroes.
Crazy On You is a novella featuring Daisy's younger sister, Lily. Apparently Daisy's Back in Town introduces Lily as a woman who goes crazy when her husband's philandering ruins her marriage.

Cute, romantic, funny, and a very quick read. It was just a Novella, based on "Crazy Lily", or what she used to be referred to, before she got her life on track. She's now 38,a single mother of a ten year old son, and the owner of her own spa, in Lovett, Texas. She's turned her life around, to make sure that she never embarrasses her son, or has to have him hear stories about her crazy days.

Lily Darlington has left the days of "Crazy Lily" behind her. Being Louella's daughter has taught her the value of keeping herself under control. She doesn't want Pippen, her ten year old son being teased about his mama. Lily has worked hard to put her crazy days behind her and become respectable. Tucker Matthews has just moved to Lovett and is Lily's new next door neighbor. He's attracted to Lily, but Lily is wary for a number of reasons.

Lee's review posted on Guilty Pleasures
The latest short story from Rachel Gibson is just as good as all of her full lenghth books! Lily Darlington has worked for years to undo her image as a crazy woman. Which proved to be very difficult considering she drove her car through her ex husbands living room.
Tucker Matthews is Lily's new neighbor and a smokin hot Deputy. As if that wasn't enough of an obstical, he's also 8 years younger that her. Lily is so afraid that her reputation will come back to...more

He lowered his face and her breath rushed out.
"What are you doing?" She murmured as his warm mouth skimmed her jaw. "I don't think this is a good idea."
"Then don't think." His warm breath spread across her skin. "I know I have a hard time thinking when I'm near you." He kissed her just beneath her ear.
"Don't say that."
"Why?"
"You don't know me."

Eight years is what separates her from happiness. Eight years and Lily Darlington is on the point of doing something crazy. Everybody in Lovett, Texas knows her as Crazy Lily. Something about Deputy Tucker Matthews is making her imagine and fantasize all the wicked crazy things she could do this young man. Lily knows it’s wrong to pursue a relationship with this hunk of a cop but lately she is feeling lonesome. She knows she screwed up bad with her ex-husband but something about Tucker makes her...more

I'm bouncing back and forth between 3 and 4 stars. Such a hard decision to make sometimes!
I've always had a love/hate relationship with Rachel Gibson's books, but this one was cute. Too bad it wasn't a full length novel - I would have enjoyed a little more character development.
I loved the storyline. Loved Tucker. Loved Lily and the fun glimpses into her past. Even liked her kid, although I'm not a big fan of kids in romance novels.

This is a novella set in the town on Lovett, Texas; where Daisy’s Back in Town was set and where Rescue Me (RG’s next release) will be set. Lily is Daisy’s sister and one of the more memorable characters in Daisy’s Back in Town. If you read the book you will not forget that Lily drove her car through her Rat Bastard Ronnie’s front room. Actually that has to be one of the more memorable moment of just about any contemporary Romance I’ve ever read. LOL. So we already know we have a hella feisty he...more

Well with this novella, we get to see if Lily will have her `happy ending' like Daisy did. If you have never read anything by Ms Gibson,...more

Gibson fans will recognize Lily Darlington as the sister of Daisy Brooks Monroe, heroine of Daisy’s Back in Town (2004). In that book Lily rams her car into the home of her cheating, immature soon-to-be-ex husband and ends up in the hospital. In “Crazy on You,” Lily is running a successful business, driving an almost-new SUV, and taking care of her ten-year-old son, Pippen. She is eager to eradicate the image of “Crazy Lily” and replace it with the image of a responsible citizen in whom her son...more
When it comes to small town living, not many authors can give the town a personality of its own. Rachel Gibson is just such an author. Many of her books take place in small towns where the different residents add an intriguing aspect to the main couples' relationship for better or worse. In this charming novella based in the world of a previous book, Daisy's Back in Town, we're reintroduced to single mom and former high strung town bad girl Lily Darlington. Lily's now on the straight and narrow,...more

This is a short novella of about 80 pages that brings us back to Lovett, Texas where we first visited in Daisy’s Back In Town. We met Lily in the first book and as a secondary character she stole the scenes she was in and now we get a short story to catch us up on what has been going on. Lily has tried to change her ways and become a upstanding citizen so her 10 year old son can hold his head high. But then comes Tucker who is new in town, younger and cra...more

Warning! This is a novella, it's not listed as a novella but trust me it is. I bought it on my nook and was super excited it was only $1.99, thinking I chanced upon a discount, but it's acctually because it's only 76 pages! And it felt rushed, I liked both leads but was surprised when the male lead, Tucker, was seemingly hit by cupid's arrow and falling head over heels after knowing Lily for about 10 minutes total.

I bought this eBook from Amazon when it was available for the bargain price of just 99p. I always enjoy books by this author so I was looking forward to getting started.

After meeting her son, Pippen, he's pulled to the ferocious way that she theatens to cause bodily harm to anyone who even attempts to harm her child. Tucker is relentless just...more
This was just meh for me. I love Rachel Gibson, so I give her lattitudes I wouldn' give other authors. I do enjoy novellas and Iknow what to expect when reading one. However, I honestly felt like I missed a chapter or two in this book. TO the point that I went back to check when I was done!
Both the H and h are great, likeable characters. I would have rooted for them regardless. But the pacing was off and left me scratching my head. Instead of a fast-tracked romance, as you often find in a novell...more

Crazy Lily isn't crazy anymore. Her sister is still happily married. Her mother still talks nonstop about people and places no one knows. But Lily did buy a home right beside her mothers. She now owns and operates a 'spa'. Has her cosmotology license, and is running in the black. Its' been a long hard road. Now e...more

What a delight to have the chance to visit Lovett, Texas again, which also happens to be the setting for Rachel's Newest Release, Rescue Me, on May 29th.
I was a huge fan of Daisy's Back in Town, the storyline, the characters and the crazy, secondary characters that make up a great Romance. One of those characters was Daisy's sister, Lily Darlington, who was having a bit of trouble dealing with her cheating ex-husband.

Crazy Lily Darlington isn’t crazy, at least not these days. Sure, she might have driven her Taurus through her rat bastard ex’s house and danced on a few tables in her time, but now she’s 38 years old, a respectable business owner, and taking care of her ten year old son is her top priority.
Lily has done well keeping her name out of the small town gossip, that is until Tucker Matthews moves in next door. He’s young, sexy and the new deputy sheriff. And he wants Lily in every way possible. But...more
