what i think

So, this is another book that has been sitting on my kindle waiting for me. I love romantic suspense so I don’t know why I waited so long to start this series. But, I am so glad I picked Craze because it was really good.

Craze is the story of a woman, Krista, who witnesses her boss molesting a child. She rescues the child, but ends up the target of the men who were running the pedophilia website (as it turns out the site has more than just pedophilia). Initially Ryan, working for Pierce Securities, is hired to bring her in. Once Pierce learns WHY her boss wants her, they protect her instead. The danger is real (her boss is just a cog in the wheel that includes bought off cops, and very connected people who didn’t what their dirty secret exposed) and the book is pretty fast past. Ryan and Krista have chemistry, but Ryan doesn’t want to jeopardize his job and put Krista at risk. So, the slow burn is there for sure! With all that was going on (the danger to Krista) romance was not a priority so their decision to fight the feelings felt believable to me because there was real danger. I compared this book to an episode of Criminal Minds (because the bad guys are seriously deviant) mixed with a romance novel. It seems like an odd blend, but it worked. I will certainly continue reading the series-I am interested in the other guys!

Anne has written her entire life and has the boxes of angst-filled journals and poetry to prove it. She’s been writing for public consumption for the last four years. Currently she is writing two romance series. In Stories of Serendipity, she explores real people living real lives in small town Texas in a contemporary romance setting. In The Four Winds, she chronicles God’s four closest archangels, Uriel, Gabriel, Raphael, and Michael, falling in love and becoming human. She lives in rural East Texas with her husband and children in her own private oasis, where she prides herself in her complete lack of social skills, choosing instead to live with the people inside her head.

One response to “Craze by Anne Conley: Review

  1. I like reading romantic suspense novels although I’ll admit that anything that has to do with pedophiles is always rough for me to read. I can do murderers and rapists, but I’m left feeling so upset with books with pedos. I’m glad that the combination of the crime aspects and the romance worked well in this case.
    Lovely review!
