I’m gonna kill my brother.I should be in the office keeping our tattoo ink distribution company together. Instead, I’m stuck dealing with a 22-year-old, tatted-up Tinkerbell. Em Vicious is a walking, talking contradiction: a sassy, goth fairy with a body inked in flowers, stars, and jewels.While she’s promoting Ambassador Ink, the flirtatious free spirit needs a sitter. And thanks to my brother … brother and his wife, who’s about to drop twins, I’m the one who has to accompany her during her tour as a guest artist at tattoo shops across the country over the next four weeks.Sharing the same space with an immature artist is hard enough, but her undeniable talent has me thinking about my own past.When the barbs become banter, and desire flourishes from frustration, I should tell her to turn and walk away. I see too much of myself in her–and it scares me. I’m afraid the pressure of money and fame might lead her to the same place it led me–the peak of a suspension bridge and ready to jump.

This is a great book that has well developed and engaging characters and a steamy storyline that flowed smoothly.

Strong and moving characters
I loved this story with its characters full of remorse from their past that they have not digested and who continue to guide and ruin their lives.
In the “material girl” series, Emily is the last, the least conventional of the Commons girls, a tattoo artist who left her parents at the age of 14, as well as high society.
She built herself and meets Zayne, who after stopping her career as a soccer player co-owns a vegan ink company and sponsor for tattoo artists. He is in control and has trouble with Emily who did everything alone and listens him rarely. But little by little they open up to each other, showing their dark side.
The two characters are very complex, they hate, appreciate and hate each other again, in their emotional excess, the management of the memory of their past.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
I just loved this book. It was so well-written that it captured my mind and I was dragged along for the ride. Once I started reading I could not put it down until I read the last page.

Tattoos and attitude goes on a road trip
Emily’s story is so emotional. She is the “wild child” of the three Common sisters and has been out of the house and supporting herself since she was a teenager. She owns her own very successful tattoo studio, parties, has some interesting friends, loves her sisters but has some major issues with her parents. She was assaulted by an older man that worked for her father’s company when she was a young teenage. Afterwards there was a misunderstanding after she saw something which involved her father and the same man. From that point on the happy and bright girl was replaced with a darker and more aggressive/mad young woman. However, she is a very talented artist and uses that to make incredible tattoo’s for people.
Zayne Vitale is an ex-soccer star who is a part owner of Ambassador Ink. He is also just about the complete opposite of Emily. He has to escort Emily on a four week tattoo tour to different cities as she represents Ambassador Ink.
Emily and Zayne may be opposites but their chemistry is amazing. They have witty banter along the trip and as they spend more time together it gets harder to deny their attraction for each other, even as their pasts loom over them and will need to be dealt with before they can have their own HEA.
Once again Sophia Henry has lovingly woven together a touching and deep story-line with wonderfully flawed but loving characters. The story of Emily deals with a heavy subject matter that may be a trigger for some readers, but she does write about it with a lite touch. So you may shed a few tears along the way when reading CRAZY FOR YOU, but you will also smile, laugh and witness some closure and for Emily. This allows her to accept love in her life and have an HEA with Zayne.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
