Seriously. The book was great. The entire thing suited their characters and quite honestly, it was not the least bit OOC(out of character). And you gotta admit, with the description of Dylan in the previous characters, the only way for him and skeeter to have something going was for him to be jacked up in drugs. And I cannot believe you’re complaining about the sex. I truly believe that doing the dirty was not the whole point of the book.

Chill.

Dylan’s age was mentioned. IT WAS MENTIONED. You can find it in Crazy Wild. The book, in my opinion, was really good. Yes, it’s true that there wasn’t many sex parts but oh, come on. No, seriously. You can’t expect Dylan to jump on Skeeter’s bones that easily. His character comes out as smooth, smart, and calculated.

A novel is more than just the sex part. Well at least that’s what I think.

Okay, you’re wrong. Dylan did say his age and if I’m not mistaken, I think it was on Crazy Wild, he’s 32.
Well, I totally loved the crazy series. And yes, each character comes out strongly, you know? It makes the book so much more interesting. About Travis, i think its part of his character being dumped and all that. Tara Janzen writes so good that readers don’t get bored.
About Dylan and Skeeter, there is more to a book than the sex part.
but we have different opinions…..so, yeah.

I know it’s 2 years after publication but I can’t resist.

Skeeter and Dylan’s story was a big let down. They both got what they wanted, really awkwardly in the front seat nonetheless, but they both thought it was for all the wrong reasons. Skeeter totally didn’t believe Dylan when he said he’d wanted her forever. Baby Bang deserves way better than that. Dylan never would have gotten the nerve to make a move on Skeeter if he hadn’t thought he was dying. In a really far fetched way, the torturing thing got him the girl.

I hated the whole Jane/Robin Rules thing. Her “rats” were totally unnecessary in Crazy Kisses. Maybe it’s because Kid is my absolute favorite and I wanted the WHOLE book to be about him. However, “poor Travis” was exactly what I said! First Regan, then Skeeter, then Jane, then Gillian gets her freaking mind erased. Ugh, and I can’t stand Red Dog. You actually feel sorry for the super hot model that women are throwing themselves at because of Nikki’s paintings that can’t find “the one”.

PS- I like the staggered writing thing.
Fish.
Net.
Combat.
Boots.

I admit it, I read all the way up to Travis’s and Red Dog’s story and I couldn’t read anymore after that. I BS factor/bad writing got to high. I thought that Skeeter got robbed and Jane and her band of misfits would have done Travis proud. I really didn’t like Red Dog.

wow! i just got found this and i must admit it’s truly a bit of a shock. I have not read this book yet but I’m starting to not really like this series because of the character J.T’s death. I mean they make a big deal about the guy being the best and the coolest and I for one would really want to meet him and he got freakin crucified!!! Please tell me he is not dead or something like that! Im not sure wether or not to pick up Crazy Love but thanks for the heads up! Does anybody agree with me about the J.T thing? I think its a bit ridiculous.

Wow. I just stumbled on to this review. Who peed in your Cheerios when you were reading the book? It’s fun mind candy, not literature.

I actually did not like Jane for Travis and it was good to see that even the Angel boy has a hard time with relationships. Makes him seem more real.

I’m so sorry you hated this book and just hope that you didn’t scare off too many readers – I would hate to lose out on this series because I love it and it’s fun!

Why the violence in your words, yours truly?

The book sucked. Jane was right. End of story.

Now you should really take a blow of some high and chill.

Poor Jane! I guess the cat is out of the bag with that whole Tuna thing now, eh? Whatever will you do?

Some people need lives, babe.

MJD, is that you? But if not, “Yours Truly" why are you sneaking around my house trying to catch whiffs of my private parts?

OK, that’s fucking hilarious.

I wonder what Yours Truly’s problem is? I got a stash of Prozac if life’s getting you down honey.

Hey Jane! “Methamphetamine Queen”? Is that what they call you in the clubs? Are you holding out on us about your wild, secret life of debauchery? Cue the techno music….

I am afraid that some people wouldn’t know a lucid thought if it bit them on the ass. So sad.

Speaking of boning, Jane, you obviously have been deprived of a “boning” session for ages, other than by the various mechanical devices you have hidden inside your cage. You should consider rewording your review so that others might want to read it. Phrasing such as “stupid shit writing” and other crap only leads the rest of us to conclude that you wrote this jibberish during one of your regular acid sessions. Well, methaphetamine queen, you wouldn’t know clear, persuasive writing if it bit you on your stank ass or rotted tuna snatch.

I can’t believe it took me so long to find this review. I’ve been looking for more reviews. Now it seems I was not the only one who was disappointed, though I was not as disappointed as you. I was enjoying it, when I realized just how close I was getting to the end. I kept checking to see how much was left. It was like, they haven’t addressed their painful pasts, yet, or the age difference, or the way he’s been treating her or…anything, really. And they never did. They just jumped into bed. There was no real payoff, y’know. Just “that’s it?”

I will be the lone voice in the wilderness who didn’t like that Jane. I practically cheered when I realized she was out. Otherwise the change would’ve bothered me. But I wanted something else for Travis (and since I always know best), I was happy with the twist. Until the next twist. I’ve read the excerpt a bunch of times, and I’m unsure how I feel about it, mostly because of the un-Travis-ing of Travis, who I personally enjoyed as a character.

My 5 cents, a day late and a dollar short. That is all.

Jane, Jane, Jane, I should have taken your review to heart and left Crazy Love at the library, where it belongs and where it should be shelved under D for Dreck: Dismal, disappointing dreck. I’ve posted a review as well. No more Tara Janzen books for me.

I am big on sharing, especially since I had a disturbed childhood where I only receive pleasure now when I do share. Helping Holly is the name of the story that features our love bitch for one another.

Holly — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 18:26:30 +0000

Well, yes. I’m easy like that. But don’t tell, cuz it’s our secret.

Of course, being fickle like I am, you have to share me with others, but you don’t mind, right?
