Crazy for Your Love, an all-new standalone contemporary romance by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lexi Ryan
A family wedding with a fake boyfriend, meddling parents, and an obsessive ex . . . What could go wrong?
The only thing worse than being single at my sister’s wedding is finding out that my ex will be there too. Not just any ex—the guy everyone expected me to marry, the man I came to Jackson Harbor to escape.
Now I need a date, and fast. Enter Carter Jackson—the firefighter who’s dealing with an unwanted five minutes of fame ever since a shirtless photo of him saving a puppy went viral. He’s warding off propositions left and right, and he needs a fake relationship as much as I do.
Sweet and sexy, Carter is completely off-limits. See, I have a rule. A no heartache rule. Not only is Carter my friend and a known heartbreaker, but his job as a firefighter puts him in danger daily, and that’s something I just can’t handle.
The commitment between us might be pretend, but the passion all too real. As crazy as it makes me, I have to keep Carter at an arm’s length. Even that might not be enough to spare my heart.

Review:
3.5*/4* read.
I've followed and read every book in this series so I was really looking forward to Carter's story. Unfortuntly this wasn't my favourite book in this series, although it was well wrote as always I felt Carter and Teagan's story was rushed and therefore lacked that deep connection and chemistry. Also Teagan's "secret" just seemed to drag out and didn't really fit her as a character. She comes across as this strong sassy female yet she just let her secret drag along instead of owning it. It just seemed to me that it was dragged out to make it more dramatic for the reader, instead it was alot of over the top drama that wasn't necessay and actually made me pull away from the characters and story. I wanted more chemistry more connection between them, I really really wanted to love them as much as the other's but they as a couple were over shadowed by everything else.
This was a friends to lovers, mixed in with a fake relationship. Yes this book had its faults personally for me but I still enjoyed reading about another Jackson and seeing glimpses of the other couples throughout. I really can't wait for Shay's story next who seems like she's going to give her love interest a run for his money.

Excerpt:
“The whole drive from the hospital, I told myself I wanted to check on you.” Carter wraps his hands around his coffee and looks up at me through thick, dark lashes most women would pay a premium for. “But the second I walked in the door, I knew that wasn’t what brought me here. I want to finish what we started.” I bite my lip and whimper. “You’re killing me.” “And when you look at me like that, all I want to do is seduce you into ignoring your better judgment.” That! my traitorous body cries. Yes, let’s do that! “But I get it,” he continues. “We’re friends, and as tempting as I find you—as tempting as I’ve always found you—if adding sex to our friendship is out of the question for you, this conversation is over. I want you, but I’m not enough of an idiot to ruin this just to take you to bed.” My brain stumbles on as tempting as I’ve always found you before landing on adding sex to our friendship. Is that an option? Does that ever work? Crap on a cracker. I’ve known Carter for four years, and I’ve never had to exert so much self-control for something as simple as not straddling his lap. “Tell me what you’re thinking.” His voice is low, a husky rumble that bypasses my brain and speaks directly to the parts of my anatomy I’d rather exclude from this conversation. I’m thinking I want you too. I’m thinking we could be naked and in my bed in less than sixty seconds. “I’m thinking you should leave,” I blurt, pushing the words past the other really bad ideas on the tip of my tongue. He blinks at me, then nods as he pushes out of his chair. “Sure. I understand.” Jumping up, I catch his arm. I can feel the heat of his skin through the cotton of his shirt sleeve. “I’ve never done this.” His eyes go wide. “Wow. I thought . . . Seriously?” “Not sex, you idiot. The whole friends-with-benefits thing. I’m not sure I’m made that way.” He’s quiet for a long beat. “If you need more than that from me, Tea, I—” I press my fingers to his lips and shake my head before he can say anything else. I’m not hoping for more. More is out of the question for me with someone like Carter. But even so, I don’t want to hear that he doesn’t want anything either. I know it’ll feel like rejection—even if that makes me a hypocrite. “I don’t want more, but I don’t know if . . .” I drop my hand from his mouth and lift onto my toes to press my lips to his. I want to know if it’ll feel like it did last night, and the second our mouths touch, I have my answer. Electric need zips through me. I loop my arms behind his neck, planning to take the kiss deeper. He doesn’t let me. With a hand on either of my wrists, he pulls my arms away and steps back, his eyes dark. “I’ll go. You think. If we do this, it needs to be a decision, not an accident.” I nod and watch him leave, but I stand there for a solid five minutes, considering running after him.
