From USA Today bestselling author KL Grayson… few months? That’s a sure-fire way to keep her from settling down and falling into old habits. First stop, Cunningham Falls, Montana.
The only problem? She didn’t plan on falling in love with the quaint little town, and she sure as heck didn’t plan on falling for its resident surgeon, Dr. Drake Merritt
Laid back, messy, and spontaneous, Drake is everything she’s not. But he is completely smitten by the new, quirky nurse working on the med-surg floor of the hospital.
Abby puts up a good fight, but Drake is determined to break through her carefully erected walls to find out what makes her tick. And sigh and moan and smile and laugh. Because he really loves her laugh.
But falling in love isn’t part of Abby’s plan. Will Drake have what it takes to convince her that the best things in life come from doing what scares us the most?

Crazy Imperfect love is my first K.L Grayson book. When I signed up to blog several of the stories that were releasing in the new Kristen Proby Collection, I thought it would be an excellent time to experience her writing for myself. And overall, I was delighted with this quick and easy read that was equally sweet and fun. This book happened to follow up several darker romances that I have been reading for my blog and it was a great book to read following those reads. Although as a first-time reader, I wish I had grabbed a full length K.L. Grayson book to start—then again, I somehow missed that this was a novella—so I felt like the book and characters were slightly underdeveloped. That said, I am definitely intrigued by her writing and will be scoping out other books she’s written so that I can see the true extent of her talents. I mean, let’s face it, novellas and short stories have to lack something, or they would be a full-length novel. I am pointing this out not as a determent to this story, but in fact so that the four stars I gave it would impart onto those reading reviews that this really is worth your time… worth considering for your next read! I loved that the characters were so quick to hit it off. Their instant attraction played into their rightness for one another and no romance reader worth their salt would tell you otherwise. The story is told in dual perspectives and the (very) slightly taboo plot gives readers the chance to see a relationship that moves quickly between a sexy surgeon and his nurse. The story moved quickly and left me with the warm and fuzzies that I love when I pick up this kind of romance. You can absolutely read this book as a standalone, although I won’t lie and tell you that you will want to. I personally devour everything I can by Kristen Proby so this collection was exciting for me to see in the works and I wasn’t disappointed in any of the stories I had the opportunity to read and review.
Two of my favorite series and authors crossovered and this gem was a result.
I absolutely loved this book! I have been waiting for Drake’s story, and hearing it from KL Grayson was soooo good.
I’m going to say this was probably the most *swoon* love story from KL Grayson.
Simply devoured every moment of this book
I won’t give any spoilers, but I loved how Drake was there for Abby and her “imperfections” without rushing her!
Crazy Imperfect Love by KL Grayson is an amazing novella because it’s a Dirty D’s novella and a Big Sky novella which is part of the Kristen Proby Crossover Collection. Yas!!! Truly fabulous! It’s a short, steamy, quick and sweet read. Abigail and Drake’s story is so interesting and very good. How they met at a wedding leads to a sizzling one night. Abby is the type of girl who likes things to be all organized and together while Drake is this handsome man who is spicy and very interesting. Next time these two meet, he’s her new boss for he’s a doctor and she’s the new nurse at Cunningham Falls, Montana hospital where she has landed at in her new position after graduating nursing school. There is a no fraternization rule in place … will their relationship stay strictly as co workers or can they get their relationship moving forward where they get the HEA they so richly deserve. This is a funny, steamy, hot and great read. Love the characters and the feels this story gives.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
Crazy Imperfect Love is such an amazing read. I love what K.L. Grayson brings to the table within Kristen Proby’s Big Sky world. How can you not love Abby and Drake once you read this. These two have such a powerful connection from the start and just wowza with the hotness of these two. I love the challenges within Abby. K.L. Grayson just made Abby even more real in my eyes. Drake is so understanding of what she needs and doesn’t let her little quirk phase him at all. This may have been a quick read but it is full of life. Go one click this one.
Crazy Imperfect Love 4.5 stars
Abby is visiting Montana for her cousin’s wedding. She is not very adventurous so her cousin and friend try to talk her into doing something out of her comfort zone.
Drake is a surgeon who is best friend’s with Abby’s cousin Hannah and thinks Abby and very attractive. I really enjoyed this story. I loved the Characters and their chemistry with each other. I also loved how Drake was able to help Abigail with her problems, and it was so sweet the things he would do for her. In the beginning when Abigail was telling about her problems it made me feel kind of sad for her, and made me wonder if I know people who may have some of the same struggles. This book also had a fun and sexy feel. Several parts had me smiling and a few had me feeling a little flushed. Overall this was a great read, I really enjoyed the ending, and am glad I got to read Crazy Imperfect Love!
Boy when Abigail wants to step out of her comfort zone, she steps out of her comfort zone!! Drake is exactly what she needs, it’s too bad that his job puts them in the position that they’re in. They hate being a secret but there’s not much can they do right?
I loved Drake!!! Such a sweetie and he was definitely in the right profession. He liked to help people and definitely wanted to show Abigail that there wasn’t anything wrong with the way she was. Lots of heat between these two!!!
Drake and Abby’s story was so great. Could not put it down. The way they met and then remet and tried being friends but couldn’t stay away from each other. This was my first book by KL Grayson I will now have to find other books from this author. I also love that Hannah is in this book for both Abby and Drake. I highly recommend this read, and another great addition to the Kristen Proby Crossover Collection.
I need more K.L. Grayson!!! This was my first book from K.L. as I was lucky enough to read her ARC of Crazy Imperfect Love for the Big Sky Crossover series. This book fits perfectly into the series and I just loved everything about it. I love how they met at the wedding. I love how he noticed her tick/compulsion in the operating room but was patient and let her finish. This book hit all my favorites…chemistry, heat, great story, recurring characters in the series, laughs, and a HEA!!! My heart broke for Drake when he overheard her conversation but Abigail was so tough to fight her fears and fight for love.
Abigail and Drake make less than perfect look like so much fun. Crazy Imperfect Love tackles a serious subject with a light hearted twist. For Abigail her need for order is taking over her life. What better way is there to face your fears, than to shake up your routine? A change of direction takes her out of her comfort zone. A new city could be just the prescription for an adventure of the heart. Grayson adds spice and hint of sugar to stir up the heart.
I love the way that K.L Grayson writes a story. She hooks you in and doesn’t once let you go. Her words are beautiful and heartfelt. And you can feel the emotions on every page of the book.
This is a crossover book and even though I’ve never read a Kristen Proby book, I knew I needed to read this book. KL Grayson has become an automatic one-click author for me.
This was a short read but one that gave you everything you love in a romance. Abby was a little quirky and it made you love her even more. Drake was so sexy and funny. He didn’t have a single selfish bone in his body and it showed. Y the way he made things happen for Abby.
These two were so cute and so hot together.
Highly recommended.

Totally swoon worthy read!! Lana~White Hot Reads
Drake and Abigail hit it off while at a wedding and Abigail decides to take a walk on the wild side and do something crazy for once. After thinking she’ll never see Drake again, she gets the most unexpected shock of her life. Sparks fly again and they try to keep it at bay but it doesn’t work. The understanding that Drake has for Abigail and her quirky issues is awesome. A truly quick read set in the Dirty Dicks/ Big Sky crossover series.
K.L. Grayson does it again! The story of Abby and Drake pulled me in and kept me engrossed all the way through. This book gave me all the feels, and I couldn’t put it down. The characters are real, with flaws, raw emotions, and amazing chemistry. I highly recommend this book!
Love this Dirty Docks novella! It is part of Kristen Proby’s Big Sky crossover series. Although I have read books by Kristen Proby, I haven’t read the Big Sky series. This did not affect my reading experience at all (I will be rectifying the Big Sky situation soon though!).
Abigail and Drake meet at a wedding, when a friend suggests she step out of her comfort zone. Her smile draws him in and her laugh captures his attention. A month later and they literally bump into each other, the connection is still there, stronger than ever, but things are complicated now. Or are they?!
What a lovely, hot, sweet read. I highly recommend you add this to your TBR!
Crazy Imperfect Love is part of the Kristen Proby crossover collection, I’m not familiar with K.L. Grayson’s Dirty Dicks world, or Kristen Proby’s Big Sky world. Actually K.L. Grayson was a new to me author. I really enjoyed the writing style, their emotions jumped off of the page, and the characters were flawed enough to make them believable. Abby and Drake were wonderful characters. Sweet and sexy, you’ll love Crazy Imperfect Love.
I received an ARC for an honest review
I really enjoyed this novella. It is part of the Big Sky crossover that Kristen Proby is sponsoring and though I had never read any of K.L. Grayson’s (or Kristen Proby’s) books before this one just sounded really cute. Now, I got an ARC for an honest review of this book because I’m on the review team for another one of the authors that is a part of this crossover. And I’m so glad I got the opportunity to read it. In this one we meet OCD nurse Abby who decides to try for a bit more adventure in her life. In that vein she takes a traveling nursing position with her first stop in Cunningham Falls, Montana. There she realizes she is working with her one time one night stand, Drake. What she didn’t know at the time is that he was a doctor. Now, not only is he a doctor but he is her superior in a place with a strict no fraternization rule. Damn, can’t a girl catch a break? You’ll find out once you read this novella and, of course, fall in love with it!
