“Chasing Crazy is an entertaining and compelling story about owning who you are. With an endearingly awkward female protagonist, a swoon-worthy male love interest, and Siskind’s superb storytelling, this is one of the best New Adult contemporary romances I’ve read to date.” ~ USA Today Bestselling author, K.A. Tucker

Dear Mom & Dad, I dropped out of school. I’m going backpacking. Sorry. Love you both.

At nineteen, Nina has endured two lifetime’s worth of humiliation. Tired of waiting for it to get better, she decides to get going—across the globe to New Zealand. There she soon faces what she most fears: a super sexy guy ready to be Nina’s next mistake.

Once Sam’s life was all about having fun. That was before the accident. Now his friends have bailed and his world is broken. But when a gorgeous girl on his flight looks at him with passion instead of pity, Sam feels his old self coming back to life.

Now traveling together, Nina and Sam know this isn’t just a fling. They’re falling fast, hard, and deep. More than anything, Sam wants Nina to forget her fears. But to help her do that he must reveal his own painful secret—and risk Nina never seeing him the same way again.

Let’s be honest – there was nothing even remotely funny about the storyline of “Chasing Crazy” by Kelly Siskind.

So could somebody please explain to me WHY I was laughing soooo hard in the first chapter already ?

Dear female readers – you will have to agree with me on those chapters when you are reading those them – if not … well… I don’t know …

Throughout the whole book somehow this author managed to merge very serious subjects with a very ironic sometimes borderline sarcastic view on life.

Even if at times totally over the top (honestly how can one person be always on that side of luck – #looking at “Nina”) …

it was still a totally wonderful read.

I would like to recommend this well written book to you

Violet Walker has been hiding. Withdrawn after a terrible car accident, she is worried about going back to her high-pressure job, where she’s expected to project confidence and sleek refinement. Allowing herself a distraction, she’s been watching her sexy neighbor work on his house. But when the shirtless, grinning hunk catches her in the act, Violet is struck by the unmistakable jolt of physical chemistry, a sensation that’s both thrilling and terrifying. Noah Young is used to moving from one construction job to another, never laying a firm foundation. The same goes for the women in his life—until Violet changes all that. His beautiful voyeur embraces his rough edges and shows him a hint of real love. But even Noah can tell that she’s holding back, hiding her body and her heart from what they both truly want. If only he could get a little help convincing Violet to see herself as he sees her: perfect in every way.

SEAL Brotherhood: Lucas

Sharon Hamilton

Band of Bachelors #1

Release date : October 19th 2015

Rating : 4 Stars

Special Operator Lucas Shipley thought his living arrangement was temporary, since getting booted from the house by his wife. He sleeps on a couch in the apartment with four other divorced Navy SEALs, thinking he’ll get the call to come home any day. He ignores the not-so-helpful advice his buddies are giving him about marriage, women and romance. Until he gets served with divorce papers. Realtor Marcy Gelland is hired by Lucas’ soon-to-be ex-wife to liquidate all their real estate holdings and help her orchestrate a speedy departure from Lucas’ life. Based on what the hot-headed SEAL wife has told her, Marcy understands Lucas deserves every ounce of pain coming his way. But when Marcy and Lucas are left alone together in the remote Northern California woods, they ignite a personal bonfire that threatens to burn down the whole forest. Marcy is forced to see she is wrong about Lucas. Amidst the backdrop of hardened bachelor SEALs with their unsolicited, anti-long-term relationship advice, and a terrorist training camp operating nearby, Lucas must do what he’s always done: be the hero and save the day. But will it be in time to save Marcy?

SEAL Brotherhood: Lucas was a good start for the new series “Band of Bachelors” by Sharon Hamilton.

The writing is fluent and flawless which made it an easy read, especially as the characters and story were well developed.

While basically the whole story should have been heavy with all the stuff that was going on in the leads life, the author managed to sneak a lot of humor and good dialogue into the novel.

Also there was a lot going on which made it more than just your ordinary easy digestible romance. It was exactly what you expect from a SEAL … – or at least what I would expect from a SEAL Novel …

My only “stumble” of sorts would be that this SEAL was kind of fast moving from his failed marriage to new grounds – but that might just be my very personal perspective – but still for me that is the one reason I could not give this novel a full star range.

Other than this – it was a fully recommendable read …
