Distracted. Disturbed. Unhinged.Crazy.Yeah, that’s the best word for it. Just one glance at Harper Jennings drives me crazy.She’s my best friend’s sister, and sneaking around with her was the most exciting thing in the world — until it wasn’t.When our secrets come to light, we soon learn life’s messy, and so is love. Faced with her mortality, my mere existence as a man is reduced to nothing.That … is reduced to nothing.
That was then and this is now.
I may have been the one to walk away eight years ago, but I’ll be damned if I do it again. My craving for her is stronger than ever, and like it or not, she wants me, too. I did what I had to back then for her.
Now, I’ll do what I damn well please for us.
The point is… we can’t help who we fall in love with. Even if it drives us crazy, I’ll make her mine.

Love against all odds is the perfect way to describe this book. Time and trials test Ridge and Harper. Join them on their journey. Not the traditional spoilers, but there are descriptions of domestic abuse that could be a trigger for some. There is an underlying reminder, though…you are not alone. Look for the strength that’s been tucked away, and fight for your freedom.
I was fortunate enough to get an ARC copy of this book and I have to say I wasn’t prepared for all the feels. Hit me hard but with everything you expect from a great writer. This author is the real deal when it comes to hitting home with realism, romance, raw emotions. Love her, love her books. Can’t say enough good things!!
I received a free copy of this book.
Leaona is really good at giving all the feels in her stories. You can read this as a standalone, but you don’t want to. There is so much background, especially the relationships (friends, families, and couple), that you do not want to miss.
Harper and Ridge have spent a very long time pushing each other a way because of misunderstandings, multiple fears, insecurities, and rumors. I really didn’t see this story playing out the way it did at the first part of it, but WOW! I am never disappointed by these stories!
Drive Me Crazy isn’t my first read from Leaona, so I knew going into this that it was going to be emotional and boy was it ever!
Ridge and Harper were young lovers, some events happened that caused Ridge to walk way, but ten years later Harper is back in his life, but will they get their second chance?
I have loved Ridge from the moment his character was introduced and I am so happy that he got a story. Harper. She is a fighter. The things she has gone through are heartbreaking, but she came out stronger than ever. The chemistry between Ridge and Harper when they were younger was great, at least from the glimpses in the beginning of the book, but as a adults. Those two were melting some pages. Their relationship was full of ups and downs, pain and heartbreak. They both struggled with different things, but they both still have a love for each other.
If you’ve read Leaona’s books before there are plenty of some old favorites in this one and if you haven’t you’ll meet a lot of amazing characters who you’ll want to know more about.
There are so things mentioned in this book that may be hard for people to read, but it’s really just a small portion in the beginning. It is worth the read.
Grab the tissues and prepare yourself for Ridge Willis. Drive Me Crazy is a MUST READ!
Where do I even begin. Leaona has done it again ladies! This book is beautifully written and absolutely phenomenal. Leaona never ceases to amaze me with her writing and this book proves that once again, she’s one of my favorites!
I’ve missed this clan and I’m so happy to have been able to read them again. Mack and Ridge crack me up, along with everyone else with their witty banter. Harper is such a strong woman and I love her dearly. Rumor, my dear Rumor..is the best written girl ever. She is absolutely hilarious! If you want to read all the words, I highly advise any of Leaona’s books. You will fall in love with these characters and never be able to get enough of them!
You don’t get to walk away
This is Ridge and Harpers’s second chance at love.
The author once again touches on some very real, scary and difficult parts of life. She gives us Harper another strong female lead and Ridge an equally sexy man to love her.
After several years apart the former friends/lovers must learn to communicate, trust themselves and each other and learn how to forgive. If they can’t do that they are doomed to fail.
We get to meet some new friends and catch up with some old ones which I personally love about her books. Everyone is there to support each other. Who wouldn’t want friends and family like that? Another wonderful read from this fantastic author.
Completely hits you with all the feels! Within the first handful of chapters, Leaona had me in tears. You instantly fall in love with the characters and crave more of them. I absolutely love Harper and her strength! Love the banter between everyone and especially love Ridge’s love for Harper. These two make me want the “falling in love” feeling. Thank you Leaona for sharing your amazing talent and for giving us a group of people to love and a world to want to lose ourselves in.
Leaona Luxx has once again proved why she’s the QUEEN of redeeming romances!!! I absolutely DEVOURED Drive me Crazy!!! This story is PHENOMENAL!!! I was hooked from the start. Ridge and Harper’s story was sooooo good!!! I highly recommend this 5 star must read!!!
Loved the chemistry between Ridge and Harper. Another book that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. The strength and determination Harper has is out of this world. Ridge…. All I can say is swoon! This was a page turner that is nearly impossible to put down.
Leaona has once again pulled me into her characters world and gave me all the feels. Ridge and Harper have always loved each other. It began as young friends then to the teenage years.

Another phenomenal book by Leaona. I was hooked from the first page. I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen, and at the same time I didn’t want it to end. Ridge & Harper’s story will have you laughing, crying, and keep you on the edge of your seat, all while falling in love with these true soulmates. This book is a must read that everyone needs to pick up.
