There’s a fine line between love and hate… pushes, the more her walls crumble, and Tess soon discovers that his sweet kisses and even sweeter words might be just what she’s been looking for in life.
And Tess Walker hates Beau Allen…
Beau Allen has it all: loving family, plentiful friends, and a job that sends him all over the world. What he doesn’t have is a home—or a reason to make one. Living out of a suitcase isn’t ideal, but he’s perfectly content. That is, until a beautiful woman barrels her way into his life and has him second-guessing everything. Tess is nothing like the women he’s used to and everything like the woman he wants. Grounded, strong, funny, sweet, and sexy. Did he mention sexy? Her curves make it hard for him to think, and his life’s mission soon becomes making her laugh and sigh and moan, because he really likes it when she moans. But Beau isn’t used to sticking around. Still, he’s hoping she’ll give him a reason to stay.
Doesn’t she?

K.L. Grayson never disappoints with her stories that always grab us right from the beginning and don’t let go. I was so glad Beau and Tess got their own story.
Tess has a past that she chose not to allow to define her. She is strong willed but has a heart of gold and doesn’t like to depend on anyone.
Beau is an amazing photographer that has spent much of his time traveling for his job. When the opportunity presented itself, Beau decided to take time off to spend with those he loves.
When Beau and Tess come together things get heated rather quickly but Tess can’t decide if she’s ready to open herself up just yet. I loved following along on their journey and experiencing everything as things came together and the sparks flew. The Allens have become one of my favorite families and I love their cameos within each of the books.
I loved this story!!!! This book is part of the Dirty Dicks series by K.L. Grayson. This story is about Tess And Beau. Tess and Beau have a little history between them….only one of them remembers though. As they grow closer, secrets come out and they have to decide to make a relationship work or walk away. You won’t regret reading this story!!!
Beau and Tess stole my heart with their story. This series continues to get better with every story. Ms. Grayson has created a world where I want to live and spend my time with this amazing family and friends that she has created.
Beau is a world traveler who finally finds a reason to stick around town. Tess has carried a grudge against Beau for something he doesn’t even remember from years ago. Sparks fly between these two as this enemies to lovers tale keeps you glued to your seat. We get to see other characters from the series which is always a favorite of mine. I love to see where everyone is at in their happily ever after.
This is a great series and I can’t wait for more!

Who gets excited when KL Grayson is releasing a new book? ME! This girl right here! And let me just stay that I have loved every single one of these stories in her Dirty Dicks series. The Allen family and all their big craziness won me over with Mo and Rhett, and my love for this family has only grown as each sibling falls in love. In the latest installment, we get the long lost sibling returned home for a much needed break. Beau is world renowned photographer and his life has been his work and travel, but being home for a while shows him what all he has been missing out on, especially meeting Mo’s friend, Tess. Tess has not had an easy life to say the least, but she has persevered and is turning her life around. And no matter how much she wants to hold a grudge against Beau Allen for his part in her struggles, she can’t help the chemistry that ignites when they are near each other.
Crazy Beautiful Love is a sweet story with little angst, a lot of laughter and love, and several swoony moments. These two struggle to label what they are, and at times, are both too afraid to admit to each other how they truly feel, but it all sorts out in the wash. I enjoyed seeing all the family together and can’t wait for what’s up next with this bunch. Bring on Cooper! I cannot wait to see who he ends up 😉

Oh heck yes!! I am in Heaven, quite literally! Crazy, Beautiful Love is book four in this series and its Beau’s turn. The globetrotting photographer has come home to spend time with his family as weddings and babies are imminent. Tess is adamant to keep her distance from him even though she is close to his family. And he can’t understand why. The sparks between these two are hot, they have an inexplicable connection but there is history and misunderstandings that Beau is unaware of.
The author gives you all the feels as she leads you through this story, this may have become my new favourite in the series!
I want Simon !!!!
The Allen boys you cant get enough of and man do you wish they were real. This story is Beau Allen if you havent meet the Brothers yet you should. Beau is more city than cowboy he travels alot for photography. Tess you know her as Mo’s friend. Tess is funny no filter kinda girl and loves to eat. The whole gang is in here and still funny as ever.
I loved the story my only thing is a didnt feel the connection or if it was these Adults always holding back like just say why already lol
Tess had a checkered past that she hasnt let anyone know The truth for fear that people will judge from past mistakes. She took over her Aunts flower shop when she got sick and moved back to a town she got kicked out of as a kid. She changed her name so know one would remember her. She remembers but is trying to forget till he comes along
Beau hes back to visit no plans on staying till he see her and now hes not sure he can leave and miss out on life. Hes missed so much already . When a chance of a lifetime comes up hes now at a crossroads.
All The Allens family I love them
“If you want to get a good photograph, you have to be part of the bigger picture. You have to sit with your subject and blend in the surrounding to truly get the best view.”
“I’ll just be right here playing with my balls”
“A little less staring, Beau, and a little more driving. Im hungry.”
“And you’re a big-picture type of girl?”
“Its just… you always seem so closed off and kind of sad, and it makes me happy to learn your aren’t. You’re just scared.”
“I learned the hard way that first impressions are everything and second chances are rarely given.”
“Its like a beautiful, heartwarming book with the ugliest cover. Some people will walk right past it without even picking it up because the cover is horrendous. The outside has to be appealing to grab a persons attention.”
“I would never leave without saying goodbye. Thats a coward’s way out, and I’m not a coward.”
“Just dont hold on if you’re planning to let go. She deserves better than that.”
Where to begin… First off this is a sweet love story between two people who were made for each other. Beau and Tess start out with a love hate kind of relationship. Tess avoids him at all cost, but when circumstances force them to be together we get a good look at just how sassy she can be. Beau for the life of him can not figure out just what the issue is. The time they spend together we get to see the different sides to each character. It is like they evolve in front of our eyes. We watch just how the relationship shifts from friends to something more. The chemistry between Beau and Tess is scorching hot. I like how this is a slow burn and the two characters get to know each other, before they get to know each other. If you are looking for a sweet read then this book is for you. You get a very sassy heroine and a hero who will not give up.
Love the crazy and beautiful! Tess goes crazy around the hunk she loves to hate, Beau Allen, the sexy world traveler. He’s home and she just wants him gone, again. But Beau is intrigued by the feisty Tess and thinks he’ll stay around for awhile to catch up with his family. Tess is like part of the Allen family so there’s no avoiding Beau which is fine with him. But what’s her deal? Their chemistry is hot but it’s not always the sexy kind of hot until it is. Terrific storytelling, wonderful characters, and great family and friends makes this a must read. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
The Allen’s never disappoints!! Beau and Tess has chemistry from the beginning but she was playing hard to get. It wasn’t instalove but it was beautifully built up. Tess was a broken girl trying to redo her past and have a better future. Beau was starting to feel like he was missing out on things with his family because of his job. He was married to his job until he met Tess.
These two relationship was extremely cute and throw in meddling best friends, Mo and Claire, and you’ll enjoy. It’s an emotional but yet beautiful love story. This book also showed how amazing Mo is and how great these siblings get along. It’s always great catching up with this family.
Beautiful! Grayson has delivered another heartwarming read! Crazy, Beautiful Love is the fourth book in the Dirty Dick’s series. although it is a standalone novel, I recommend you read the series. Finally, Tess’s story is here! I always loved her character from the previous books. She stole my heart early on when she adopted Simon! Beau was a pleasant surprise. We haven’t gotten a lot of background on him before, so I was excited to find out his story as well! Both these characters have knows very little about and think that made their story exciting and intresting! What I didn’t expect was the emotional punch that came with Tess! Ohhh my poor Tess! I just wanted to hug her! She has worked so hard to better herself. She’s been alone for a long time now and it isn’t easy for her to open up and let people in. Insert Beau Allen, back in town for his brother’s wedding and let the sparks fly! Beau and Tess’s history surprised me, and once the truth comes to light it really hits you deep. Even the smallest of lies can have a huge effect, in this instance, it’s Tess’s leaving. Once the two talk everything and take a chance on the attraction they feel for each other, things really heat up. I loved their passion! I was rooting for these two along with Meddling Mo and Claire. The surprise call at the ending wiped me out! Another surprise I never saw coming! Though this one hit me hard, I went through several tissues! I loved Crazy, Beautiful Love, it was different than the other novels. I’m very much looking forward to Cooper’s story! I received a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
Just when I think this series can’t get any better… it does! It seriously just keeps getting better. I feel like every time we get a new book in the series it always becomes my new favorite. Crazy, Beautiful Love was no different. There has always been some sort of mystery around Beau because of his job, so I wasn’t really sure what we were going to get. But, holy smokes! I loved him. There was something about Beau and Tess’s story that made me love it more than the others. I don’t know if it was Tess is sort of broken and she opened up to Beau or if it’s because Beau found a reason to stay home. Whatever it was, it was perfect. Watching these two fight off their attraction was one of the best parts of the story. I loved watching them interact and fall in love, it made their story sweet and happy.
I can’t wait to get more from the amazing series.
There is just something so powerful about a love to hate relationship. There is a very thin line between love and hate. The chemistry can’t be denied between this hot couple. Both are stubborn as hell but when fate steps in they both become a marshmellow. Love can do that to you. KL told this story beautifully. I loved how the pace of the story was planned perfectly with the slow burn between this amazing couple. Her writing is the perfect mix of romance and humor. I enjoy how each book in this series is connected but also unique.
Crazy, Beautiful Love is proof yet again that I can always count on K.L. Grayson to bring me a unique story that will capture my heart.
I admired Tess for her determination to live her best life and move on from a past she isn’t proud of and will not let define her.
Beau had me swooning hard and I fell head over heals for him. Once he decides that Tess is what he wants he makes it impossible for her to say no. Not that she really wants to.
The Chemistry between these two is off the charts HOT and I couldn’t get enough! This series just keeps getting better and better! I read this one in one sitting and I can’t wait to see what Grayson brings us next!
Every time I get to read a new book in this series I start out thinking that now way it can get better than the book before. But K.L. Grayson raises the bar with every new addition leaving me in awe. Crazy Beautiful Love is exactly what this book is, crazy beautiful.
Both Beau and Tess on their own are characters that I adore, but together they are phenomenal. Tess with her sass towards Beau that hides a heart full of generosity and love and Beau with his absolutely swoon worthy loving ways *sigh* I was all heart eyes the entire time I was reading. There’s a sweetness between these two that takes on a whole new level with the amount of emotion that’s also there. Then that’s all topped off with some seriously explosive chemistry that brings deliciously intense heat to the pages also. Beau and Tess are one of my favorite couples of all time. Their frenemies to lovers story is loaded with pure beauty from start to finish pulling at every one of my heartstrings!
I think this is my favorite book in K.L. Grayson’s Dirty Dicks series! And yes- there are glimpses of the other couples from the series sprinkled in the pages of Crazy Beautiful Love. I liked that Tess and Beau’s journey was a bit emotional and rooted in pain and forgiveness.
Goodness had Tess been through a lot. Things that would’ve hardened a lot of folks but her heart was still tender and compassionate. As evidenced by the kindness she shows to strangers through her business. Which is what first caused Beau to see her in a new way.
I really wanted to dislike him because of the hints of him having done something to Tess in the past. But as things unfolded and Tess revealed the reasoning behind her hostility towards him, things cleared up for both of them and it was smooth sailing into Happytown. Until it wasn’t.
Tess wanted it all- the small things inside the big picture. And Beau’s job and lifestyle didn’t have room for that. There were some tense moments because of it, and a big life-changing moment that needed to be sorted out. And when it came down to it, it truly was a no-brainer.
There was so much discovery that happened in these pages for both Beau and Tess. Learning to trust someone with your pain and fears. Forgiveness- of others and yourself for the mistakes of the past. How freeing letting go of that resentment is. And the biggest lesson of all; love. Tess and Beau learned first hand how giving love freely only makes room for more.
So good! This is an emotionally charged book filled with hopes and dreams. Tess has the determination and wisdom to succeed at her business but will love find its way to her heart?
With Beau’s family adding in their humor all the way to the delicious sexy time…this was a fantastic read! KL Grayson has written another outstanding story. Everything she writes is truly golden. And although this is part of a series, it can totally be read as a standalone!
I was so excited to read this book. I love the town of Heaven, Texas and the entire Allen family and their significant others.
Tess isn’t an official member of the Allen family but she is treated like family, especially with being best friends with Mo and Claire. Beau is rarely in Heaven, but he is back for his brother, Rhett’s wedding. He can’t figure out why Tess has been cold with him since day one, but he doesn’t like it. Will Tess be able to admit to her friends and to Beau who she will is? Will it change how they look at her?
I love Tess. She is a hardworker who hasn’t always had an easy life, but she has done everything she can to make it better, to change who she was in the past. Beau is sweet, he is romantic and he loves his family fiercely. The tension between Tess and Beau is steamy, there is no denying that have a connection with each other. When they finally give in sparks fly!
I couldn’t put this book down and loved every moment of it. Tess and Beau’s story may be my favorite in the series.
This can be read as a standalone, but I think it is best read with as part of the Dirty Dicks series. Another fantastic story from K.L. Grayson!
K.L. Grayson does it again! She is a phenomenal author who writes books that grab you from the beginning, and keep you hooked until the end. Beau and Tess are both engaging characters. Tess has been through a lot in her lifetime, and she keeps her history to herself, not even sharing with her best friend. She has a grudge against Beau, and he doesn’t even know why. She finally opens up to him, and now he has clarity. They form a great friendship that turns into a wonderful relationship. I was rooting for Beau and Tess from the very start. I could not stop reading Crazy, Beautiful Love, and I didn’t want it to end. I love every book I have read by K.L. Grayson, and I highly recommend reading this book, and all of her books!
Older brother Beau gets his story in “Crazy Beautiful Love.” A sweet, romantic, and witty story of finding true love that will keep you swooning from the beginning til the end. I loved the sweetness of their attraction. It made me feel so giddy when reading the start of Beau and Tess falling in love. KL Grayson knows how to write butterflies in your stomach, sexy and fun books. She brings characters back from previous books and makes it a family affair. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. We still have younger brother Cooper to find his true love.
Crazy Beautiful Love by K.L. Grayson is the story of Beau Allen and Tess Walker.
Beau is a traveling Photographer…so wherever he gets a contract he goes. Which he has enjoyed his life up until lately. Beau has returned home and finds that he misses his family and he is thinking maybe of setting down roots…sparks fly for him toward Tess. Tess has had a tough time of it and knows that she can only really count on herself. Working to get her business to take off she doesn’t have time or trust for a real relationship especial with anything related to Beau. But as much as she wished her feelings not to be attached to Beau she is finding that they are getting deeper.
Enjoy reading their story and how they came to their ending.
