Crazy for You | Jennifer Crusie

Panpan

I remember reading this one some 20 years ago and thinking it was ok with some good character dialogue but on this reread, I see how flawed and in some moments just unrealistic.

Not my favorite of Cruise's work as I don't reread this one often compared to the others but I always had a problem with the Nick, Bill, Quinn angle and some 20 yrs later, I have a definite answer for myself as to why.

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.9-10: poachers - can there be anything worse? What a horrible situation for Cybil to have found herself in. Here‘s hoping those men are gone now. Or maybe they‘ll run into the Bear. But this trip is certainly not the retreat that these couples were hoping for. Hopefully Tanner can keep everyone calm and safe.

BarkingMadRead Omg that was awful, and so scary for Cybil and Tanner! 15h
TheSpineView They are lucky itcwas only warning shots. I wonder if the poachers will make an appearance later. 15h
LiseWorks I was surprised that it was the elk and not the bear they were after. It was a twist unexpected. 15h
OriginalCyn620 That was a scary situation! And hats off to Cybil…she handled it much better than I would‘ve. 15h

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.7-8: I get that the title of the book is called Rushed but I was still surprised that Tanner and Cybil kissed so soon. But I‘m ok with it if only because it put a bee in Lauren‘s bonnet and I‘m all for that. That woman is awful. I‘m worried more problems will occur because of that twit before this is over. And someone shooting nearby- that‘s certainly scary!

LiseWorks I was ready for the sizzle, lol. I wonder if the gunshot is someone chasing that bear. And good for her for putting g up the tent all by herself. 2d
TheSpineView It does seem too soon for the kissing, but then the whole plot feels rushed. I don't think this is the last of the bear. We will find out soon enough. I get the feeling that Lauren is going stir up some trouble. 2d

OriginalCyn620 Really, Lauren is such a twatwaffle. She‘s hitting on all the men and seems way too concerned with what Cybil does. And what was that comment about not paying all that money for Tanner and Cybil to go off together to make out? First, I‘m sure she didn‘t pay any money, and second, it‘s none of her business what they do! 2d
BarkingMadRead @OriginalCyn620 twatwaffle is the greatest word ever and so appropriate here. She‘s a nightmare, and I love that everyone sees it for what it is. I don‘t think trouble with her is over, and my first thought was someone trying to scare off the bear, although if it‘s not any kind of hunting season, the presence of the gun is a little suspect 1d
vonnie862 Oh my goodness, I wanted to strangle Lauren. She was so annoying! I'm so glad Oliver spoke up. 1d

Here are 5 books for #SnowedIn @TheAromaofBooks

Must share my highly scientifical process:
1. Ohh, there‘s a dog! 🐶
2. Aww, pretty
3. Resting Scrooge Face 🤣🤣🤣
4. I wanna stay at a book club hotel!
5. Mystery involving a train ✅

I hope you like these selections as much as I enjoyed choosing them.

@PuddleJumper

tpixie I haven‘t read any of the others but the book club hotel was fun 2d
DogMomIrene @tpixie I may stack that one. Feeling like I could use fun light reads soon. 2d
tpixie @DogMomIrene I‘ve read a couple of her books and they are sweet, but not too cheesy. 2d

tpixie @DogMomIrene ☺️🎄🎄🎄☺️ 2d
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Thank you so much!! Believe it or not but that entire list is comprised of books I own but haven't read 😂 I second @tpixie - I haven't read this specific Sarah Morgan book, but I have read several others by her and she does such a lovely job - while there is romance, the focus is usually more on family (especially mother/daughter/sister) dynamics. 2d
DogMomIrene @TheAromaofBooks 😂 I saw that you had tagged some of the books as “Kindle” so I debated sticking to those, but then I was “Nah, she‘s got too many other cute covers here.” I added The Book Club Hotel to my TBR. Not sure when I‘ll get to it, but definitely keeping it top of mind for when I need a sweet escape. 2d
TheAromaofBooks Yes, I own all the Kindle books, too 😂 The PROBLEM is that during Winter Games every year everyone reads such fun Christmas/holiday books so I add them to a list and then throughout the year I periodically check Book Outlet for them and snag any under a certain price point... which seems to have lead to a somewhat significant pile of paperbacks 😆 2d
marleed Love the process 🤣🤣 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.5-6: TBH - I‘m a bit terrified of bears ever since I was younger and watched this movie about a killer Grizzly on the loose. So I‘m thinking that bear is going to be back at some point in the story. I also think the group is going to come to an agreement to tie Lauren up and leave her somewhere if she doesn‘t stop her whining. But maybe that‘s wishful thinking. ⬇️

StayCurious It‘s sad that Cybil was with someone for 9 years and yet they talked about everything except what might be wrong in their relationship. Maybe this trip - and Tanner - will help her gain some perspective. 3d
tpixie Your bear 🐻 photo reminded me of this podcast. It won‘t help you feel better about bears, though https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/killer-author-club/id1771948461?i=10006762... 3d

LiseWorks I was thinking the same about the bear and was also surprised that Tanner was surprised by its presence 3d
TheAromaofBooks I was a little surprised that Cybil has to share her tent with Tanner! I know he's her partner for this trip but... he's still a stranger! 3d
TheSpineView @TheAromaofBooks I had the same thought. Also, I'm not into this instant attraction thing going on. I wish there was more of a slow build up. Maybe start with more dialog between the two of them. 3d
TheSpineView Also, think Lauren is a drama queen and a bitch. She must be used to getting her on way all the time 3d
OriginalCyn620 Maybe the bear will return and think Lauren is a soft taco. 🌮 3d
BarkingMadRead I feel like that bear sighting was foreshadowing! Lauren is making me nuts. Who goes on a couples retreat and hits on all the men?!? They should send her packing, or feed her to the bear! 2d
vonnie862 @OriginalCyn620 🤣🤣🤣 2d
StayCurious @TheSpineView yes I agree, however I think it might be an instalove kind of story. I appreciate more build up too. 2d
TheSpineView @OriginalCyn620 We can hope 😂 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.3-4: Welp - admitting to a group of strangers you‘re all alone on a couples retreat - that‘s not awkward at all. But good for Cybil for getting it out there. Lauren is totally going to be trouble - Yeesh. Also, I‘m getting some City Slickers vibes with this book which is fun. Might be time for a rewatch.

BarkingMadRead You had to know Tanner would be at the retreat, but it‘s still fun to see eBay they will be partners. Lauren is a piece of work, yikes 4d
OriginalCyn620 Lauren is going to be trouble for sure. Already not liking her! It was sweet of Tanner to come to Cybil‘s rescue and partner up with her…because that was awkward AF. 3d
vonnie862 City Slickers! Yes! I can totally see that! 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.1-2: Haha, what a fun meet-cute for our leads. I look forward to them realizing they‘ll be together for 2 weeks on her retreat. I‘m interested to know more about why her fiancé ended things. I bet she‘d like to know too. So far I‘m intrigued.

Kshakal I am also intrigued! 5d
vonnie862 I will be so annoyed if a guy took my parking spot. 5d

TheAromaofBooks Oooo I forgot we were starting this one today!! I'm off to read the chapters!! 4d
peanutnine I love when the meet cute is this early on! Excited to see where it leads. Her ex-fiance sounds like a jerk and I'm guessing he was cheating 4d
OriginalCyn620 Yesterday got away from me but I‘m all caught up now! I really wanna know what happened with the ex fiancé. I‘m guessing he cheated too! And despite cutting Cybil off 3 times, Tanner does seem like a nice guy. ? 4d
