Crazy in Love
Rosewood River series
by Laura Pavlov
Blurb:
Emilia Taylor hates me, which is absolutely fine by me, because I don’t particularly care much for her either.
Maybe I took things too far, but I decided she was the enemy a long time ago, and she gave me no reason to think differently.
At least not until recently.
And when she sets her mind to prove me wrong, she goes all in.
I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong—because it sure as hell doesn’t happen very often.
But being vulnerable with a woman who I was convinced was out for my family was a big pill to swallow.
So, I’d rather send her a fancy gift and call this vendetta done.
However, she is anything but predictable.
She doesn’t want a fancy gift from a man who she’s declared a broody, heartless billionaire.
Her words not mine.
And it’s not like you can send flowers to a woman who owns a floral shop.
She wants a sincere apology instead but that may be more than I can give.
She’s sunshine and rainbows, and I’m… well not.
But when the first tear rolls down her cheek, I swear something inside me cracks.
Turns out, my cold jaded heart still works.
Apparently, it beats for the one woman I never saw coming.

Review:
I was a little nervous about this one because Bridger straight up bullied Emilia over the Taylor Tea stuff but I had faith that Pavlov could turn it around and she did. I came out appreciating Bridger’s grumpy self and how he loves his family, and loves big, but is obviously dealing with a lot. (I originally thought that someone should have pushed him into addressing that earlier but in reality he had to want to before it would actually do any good.)
Emilia is also dealing with a lot, with Bridger but also her own family. And I think that explains a lot about why she reacted to Bridger the way she did. I was there tho for her as she finally found her voice with ALL of them. She deserves so much more from so many people.
Crazy in Love is a slow burn, with an enemies-to-lovers thing going on. That’s not usually my thing but I really liked the way this one played out. The banter is well done (it has a very Pavlov feeling) and the transition of their feelings is organic. I really liked how the third act issues are resolved (although maybe a bit more from Emilia’s mother would have been nice … I mean, ugh, that woman!) and their path to a HEA worked.
Part of a series but can be read on its own. Although you’ll appreciate these people even more for having read the rest 🙂
