Dec 18, 2017 Eve Recinella (Between The Bookends) rated it liked it

So yea, color me impressed. This is the authors debut novel, and it was really rather enjoyable. It reminded me of an old school KA novel without it being a copy. That said, there were a few issues that had me dropping stars. Especially the farther the book went on and the ending felt incomplete with a couple loose ends.

~WRITING - PLOT - PACE~
The writing was very good in this one. Especially for it being a debut novel. It had a nice flow to it. It was easy to read. The story is told mainly fro ...more

This is my nod to action-adventure films, alpha heroes, soap operas and the wallflowers who find love in the craziest and most unexpected ways. :)

Some little-known tidbits about the making of the book:

1) Cole, the hero, is named in honor of Julian McMahon's character Cole Turner from Charmed. (I loved him. Like LOVED him. I cried the day Cole and Phoebe broke up. I was never able to finish the series after that.)

2) Some of the incidents in the book are based on real events. One of my favorite sh ...more

Not your usual romance or romantic heroine. This book moves along very quickly and you just have to hand on for the ride. Great character development and lots of humor. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

What a fresh voice.

A unique, relatable heroine with an hilarious, snarky, unstoppable attitude. An intense, amazing hero who adored her. And a great set of supporting characters who were well-drawn and perfectly imperfect. This book will have you laughing while your toes curl.

Great writing, fast pace and a twisty plot combine to make this book pure enjoyment. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves to laugh. If you're looking for a fresh spin on romance, Nicole Terry has provided it.

3.5-star read

Some people are just magnets for disaster and Diane Thompson is just such a magnet. A simple dinner out with her cousin has her attempting to sleep off too much tequila and ends up with an inadvertent kidnapping when her car is stolen by drug dealers. Why her car? Well, it was one of the few left in the lot and it was an older vehicle without all the whistles and bells and therefore easier to steal. Little did the thieves know that there was someone in the back seat hidden by all of 3.5-star read

Some people are just magnets for disaster and Diane Thompson is just such a magnet. A simple dinner out with her cousin has her attempting to sleep off too much tequila and ends up with an inadvertent kidnapping when her car is stolen by drug dealers. Why her car? Well, it was one of the few left in the lot and it was an older vehicle without all the whistles and bells and therefore easier to steal. Little did the thieves know that there was someone in the back seat hidden by all of the bags slated to be dropped off at a local Goodwill. Good thing Diane is something of a procrastinator. The would-be carjacking/kidnapping is quickly squashed when Diane calls 911 and is rescued. Diane is also a bit clueless because the local lieutenant, Cole Anderson, at the sheriff's department has been attempting to get her attention for more than a month. He has it now in spades. What follows is a series of calamitous events that make it clear these drug dealers know not only where she lives and works, but also know everything about her family as well. Diane isn't one to depend on others for help and she's determined to find what the drug dealers want before it's too late for her and her family. The big question is can she do it without alienating Cole and saving herself and her family?

Crazy on You by Nicole Terry is the first in a new series and a debut as well. I found this to be a sexy, sassy, raucous, rollicking laugh-out-loud read that reminded me at times of books by both Joshilyn Jackson with the Southern sensibilities and Beverly Jenkins with the strong female and take-charge male protagonists. Diane is kind of a modern-day-equivalent of Lucy Ricardo from "I Love Lucy" fame in that she always seems to find herself in the midst of trouble and it's up to her family and Cole to bail her out (FYI, she does a darn good job of bailing herself out a few times). Cole is a "by-the-book" lawman that has a "don't-mess-with-my-woman" mentality. He doesn't see Diane as fragile or weak, he just wants to protect her and her family from the bad guys as best as he can. Yes, there's an obvious romance angle between Diane and Cole, but there's also insecurity issues, family drama, small-town drama, crime, and more. There are bad guys along with the good guys and there are varying degrees of bad guys (trust me on this and read the story to understand what I mean by this statement). I'm always a sucker for stories set in West Virginia or written by West Virginia authors and I lucked out on both counts with Crazy on You by Nicole Terry. I recommend Crazy on You for those of you that enjoy reading romantic suspense. For those of you looking for a madcap, comedic romance read, then I encourage you to grab a copy of Crazy on You to read. I wholeheartedly enjoyed reading Crazy on You and can't wait to more from this author in the future.

I received a free digital copy of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. This review originally posted on 01/26/2018 at http://www.thebookdivasreads.com/2018... ...more

First book by Nicole Terry. It was good read and while I liked the premises and the characters it would have liked to see something more. Not sure what it was missing for me but something. But I will definitely check out the next in the series and it was a fun ride with Diane and Cole. But at times I struggled with with them as a couple because Cole seemed to be doing all the work. He had cut his hair because he over heard Diane saying that she like it. Diane just seemed obvious to him until her ...more

Jan 25, 2018 Shannon rated it did not like it

I feel like this book had so much promise but it fell short. So very short. There really was too much going on at one time. It just felt rushed and ridiculous. The thing that really bothered me the most though was Cole. It was like this character stepped back in time to a period when it was okay to order women around and physically move them where you want them to be. It's not okay. It's not sexy or flirty. He was a guy who stalked her for a month and then decided to physically and emotionally i ...more

We all need a little Diane Thompson in our lives!!! And the hilarious, real, fresh, and fun voice of author Nicole Terry. Another reviewer called the characters in CRAZY ON YOU "perfectly imperfect," and I couldn't agree more. Everyone here makes mistakes--lots of them--but you will cheer them on as they learn and grow and get into more zany adventures. I want this to be a TV show, STAT!
