At first I was excited to read this book, transatlantic love with a little mafia thrown in, I mean come on! As a british expat living in America, who wouldn't love that! Well as it turned out, me for one.

I didn't actually like any of the characters overly much. Both fathers were clearly insane; I mean come on! Who kills sons of other Mafia bosses just for LOOKING at their daughters.

I also found the over use of the east London slang was way too much! And my family comes from that area.

So the idea of this story is that 2 adult children of 2 mafia bosses (well, one was the head of the conglomerate, but now I am just splitting hairs) , one from the states and one from England, fall in love after a few minutes of meeting each other. I am sorry, that is even a little far fetched, even for me. I struggled through the book and in all honestly found it hard to read.

I do think the authors are very talented, but really need to stop with the over generalizations. The basic story would be great, if it wasn't so over the top.

So after all that, I give Crazy On You 4 out of 10

In this story we meet Ally and Liam. Two are the complete opposites and its a wonder how they managed to even ignite a spark. Ally speaks her mind, and doesn’t back down for anyone and Liam, well he’s a reserved business man who is closed off to relationships due to his cheating ex girlfriend. In fact both Alley and Liam have had bad break ups in the past but Alley is more than willing to put in effort with Liam but he’s is hesitant.

I liked Ally, she was feisty but then sometimes I just wanted her to shut up and stop. Liam, I felt as he gained more feelings toward Ally he become possessive and that I didn’t like but then again, I understand his feelings. His emotions and insecurities all came from his past relationship and that is an idealistic situation.

I found both of them to act very childish at how they handled situations but both Ally and Liam had baggage coming to their relationship and it played out in a realistic way. Not all relationships have a happy ending. Not everyone will handle things in a mature way and not everything can be fixed with love, or that ‘Special’ one.

Can’t wait to read the next installment.
