The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of. . .Crazy for You (Risking It All, #2) . . . Run to You got me started with this series and I was excited to get to Crazy For You. Ryan’s bad boy, tattoos, and motorcycle made him the wrong guy for good girl Emma. But this good girl had decided to go a little wild. She wants Ryan to show her how to let go and have a good time. Life ends sometimes on a dare, but for Emma life only opened up for her and showed her what she was missing when she was dared to do the unimaginable for her good girl persona.
Good girl, Emma, and bad boy, Ryan, cliché I know, makes for an entertaining read in love, honor, respect, friendship. Emma and Ryan both need to learn to live outside the shell they have both been in. It takes the other to move them in to action. Living life can be that much sweeter when you decide to open-up and live for yourself.
I think some more details could have taken this one over the top for me. I loved being back in Haven. It was great seeing the small-town vibe was still alive and kicking. The build of their rekindled friendship and lovers’ relationship was just what the other needed to live again.
BLURB
SHE'S TAKING A WALK ON HIS WILD SIDE
Emma Rush can't remember a time when she didn't have a thing for Ryan Blake. Haven's resident bad boy is just so freakin' hot-with tattoos, a motorcycle, and enough rough-around-the-edges sexiness to melt all her self-control. Now that Emma's over being a "good girl," she needs a little help being naughty . . . and she knows just where to start.
Before Emma's brother enlisted in the military, he made Ryan promise that he would protect her from everything--including himself. When her brother doesn't come home, Ryan needs to turn his screwed-up life around to honor his pledge. But he knows he's still not the right kind of guy for someone as sweet as Emma. Only he can't stop wanting to be with her. Wanting her. Falling in love with a good girl may be the craziest risk this bad boy can take . . .

Whoa.
Emma closed her eyes and let out a shriek as Ryan guided the motorcycle onto
Main Street and picked up speed. The cold wind whipped her face, taking her
breath away. Beneath her, the engine rumbled and roared like a wild thing. Holy
sh*t. She was on the back of Ryan Blake’s bike, and it was amazing.
The wind bit through her thin, knit
gloves, hitting her fingers with an icy blast. Actually, every part of her was
freezing, but she didn’t care. She wrapped her arms more firmly around Ryan’s
waist, anchoring herself to him so she didn’t tumble off the back of the bike, and
somehow her hands slipped beneath his jacket. Ahh. That was better. Toasty
warm, and also…her hands were on his T-shirt. Even through her gloves, she felt
the hard contour of his abs, and nope, she wasn’t cold now.
And this was absolutely freaking amazing.
She hung on tight as he guided them
over Haven’s twisting mountain roads, deserted at this hour. Overhead the moon
shone like a beacon, illuminating the night in its soft, silvery glow. The roar
of the engine and the slap of the wind against her face shocked her senses. It
was thrilling, invigorating, so completely different from riding inside a car.
She’d never have done this if Mandy
hadn’t dared her, and now she felt like her eyes were open for the first time
in years. This was what she needed. Somewhere along the way, as she sat at the
bar talking to Ryan, she’d realized she was having fun, really having fun. And
she wanted more. She wanted it all, every last wild and crazy fantasy.
All too soon, her building came into
view. Ryan cut the engine and guided them quietly into the driveway, coming to
a stop behind her silver Toyota RAV4. He turned his head to look at her, so
sexy in his helmet and riding glasses. “So how was it?”
“Even better than I thought it would
be.” She gulped for air. His lips were way too close to hers, and she was still
a little bit drunk on beer and a whole lot drunk on her first motorcycle ride.
Mandy’s words echoed in her ears. Bonus points if you kiss him. Just stand up a
bit, lean over his shoulder, and…
Emma leaned forward, her chest sliding
up his back as she tipped her face to his. Holy hell, she had completely lost
her mind, but she was going for it. Every nerve in her body went haywire.
Clunk. Her helmet smacked into his,
drawing her up an inch short of his lips.

Q&A with Rachel Lacey
What
did you enjoy most about writing this book?
I loved writing all the fun, adventurous things Ryan and Emma
did together in CRAZY FOR YOU – rock climbing, cliff jumping, motorcycle rides,
etc. They were so much fun to write, and it was the perfect balance to some of the
heavier themes in the book. These two characters really bring out the best in
each other, constantly pushing each other out of their comfort zones.
If
you had a theme song, what would it be?
Dream On by Aerosmith – “Dream until your dreams come true!”
Name
one thing you won’t leave home without.
Chapstick! I have a weird obsession with it.
A la Twitter style, please describe your book in
140 characters or less.

If you could have dinner with any three authors
(alive or dead), who would you choose and why?
First, JK Rowling because she is a
literary genius and a fierce feminist, and I’d love to chat with her about
anything and everything. Next, Mary Higgins Clark because she was my very first
“favorite author,” and I’d love to thank her for that. And of course Nora
Roberts because she is my hero and gives great advice. All three of these
ladies have inspired me so much, and I would love to just soak up all the
knowledge they could impart.
What are your favorite types of stories to read?
My favorite books make me laugh
*and* cry. I want ALL THE FEELS while I’m reading!
