Claire Daniels is good at a lot of things, but dating isn’t one of them. Although she enjoys men of all different shapes, colors, and sizes, she has one requirement: they must have a job on her approved-occupation list. It has to be safe, so they can come home every night, which means no cops, pilots, doctors, ranchers, and absolutely no firefighters. She’s kept to her rules thus far—as long as … far—as long as you ignore the tiny crush she has on Trevor Allen, a crush that cannot move toward anything physical because Trevor is a firefighter and a rancher. Not to mention, he’s four years younger than she is and the brother of her two best friends.
Still, it sure would be nice to have him put out her fire.
Trevor Allen also has a few rules when it comes to Claire Daniels: no staring, flirting, smokin’ hot fantasies, or touching of any kind. He’s been lusting after Claire his whole life, but with a steady stream of willing women and two demanding jobs to hold his attention, he’s somehow managed to keep his hands off her.
Until they end up in a bathroom together—a small bathroom with very little room to move, leaving him pressed against Claire’s lush curves. What’s he supposed to do when she looks up at him with those big, green doe eyes and licks her lips? The only thing he can do: kiss the hell out of her, then convince her it can’t happen again.
Too bad he can’t convince himself.

These Allen boys are simply HOTTTT!!! Trevor seriously burned up these pages!
I could not put this book down! This is book 2 in the Dirty Dicks Series. You can read this as a stand alone, but I would recommend starting with book 1 (Crazy Sexy Love). I fell in love with Trevor! He has a heart of gold and has carried so much around on his shoulders for years. His love and protection for Claire is simply swoon worthy.
The chemistry between Trevor and Claire is off the charts and you simply can not fall in love with these two.
K.L Grayson’s writing in this book is exceptional! I could not put this book down! I felt like I was right there in the room with these two, there is just so much detail in her writing.
Claire Daniels has rules for falling in love and the most important one is that her future boyfriend is not in a dangerous career. Since her father died, as a firefighter in the line of duty, her opinion has changed about what she wants in a man. But part of her still remains attracted to Trevor Allen, the younger brother of her close friends Rhett and Cooper.
Trevor Allen has always had a thing for Claire but as she is four years older than him and close with his brothers he has always stayed his distance. His reputation of going thru the ladies doesn’t help his cause either to persuade anyone that he is ready for the serious relationship that Claire deserves.
When tragedy strikes and Claire panics under pressure and Trevor is needed to save her, will she be able to get over her own disappointment in herself? Will Trevor forgive himself for events that happened in the past that he blames himself for?
Can the two get over their own fears to find happiness together?
This was a great book with some twists and turns to keep the reader really wondering what was going to happen next.
I liked Claire and her blind date with Joseph was awesome. It made me laugh so hard and I just couldn’t believe what happened. I felt bad for Claire in losing her father as it really made her see the bad side of his job and the risks and therefore I understood why she had her own set of rules for dating. I loved what she did for Marcus and Troy and I understood what she did when she did it and then to realize who she was missing was super scary but it can happen in a serious moment.
Trevor cared about Claire so much but I did see where others were worried. He worked super hard at his job and also on the family ranch. I loved how he was truly there for Claire when she needed to talk about everything and how he helped her through it all.
The chemistry between Claire and Trevor was awesome and I liked how she got over all of her fears. Then all of a sudden I was so mad at Claire and I loved what Rhett and Cooper said to her. I was so happy after that and I loved how everything ended.
I really hope we have more coming from this family!! – By Rebecca
I could not put this book down, Claire and Trevor’s book was perfect! They have know each other since they were younger, and the chemistry between them is HOT but they have both kept each other at arms length. Trevor’s risky profession has kept him off Claire’s radar because he doesn’t fit within the rules she has set, because of her fathers death. Trevor shoves his deep loving feelings for Claire away because he has a secret that he knows would hurt Claire and possibly break her heart. After a life changing event that leaves Claire’s perspective spooked, she finally gives into the irresistible attraction between her and Trevor. Both Claire and Trevor put all their cards on the table and they took that leap of faith that they have been avoiding for a very long time. Together they faced their insecurities and had to endure a healing process to move forward, and I’m happy to say they did get and finally got their HEA! This is book 2 in the Dirty Dicks Series, that you can read as a stand-alone, but I would recommend starting with book 1 (Crazy Sexy Love)….Amazing book as well!
I read Crazy Sexy Love and was introduced to Claire and Trevor then. I have been anxiously awaiting Crazy Hot Live and it was everything I wanted it to be and more.
This is a friend’s to lovers story. They both carry their demons, but they also carry a special connection. Their connection is also the reason that they are both afraid to be with each other.
She is scared and lives life in the safe lane while he lives life boldly and as a hero. Her safe lane living includes a lot of frustrating rules.
Experiencing Claire blossoming and peeling back the layers of her fear and rules was so enjoyable. Trevor loving her boldly and fiercely while admitting his mistakes made this such a wonderful reading experience.
I read this book through Kindle Unlimited
Annnnnd she’s done it again!
GAH! I’ve absolutely loved this book and I think it’s my favorite Dirty Dicks so far.
I’m a sucker for friends to lovers stories and this one gave me all the feels.
Trevor and Claire have both secretly liked each other almost as long as they’ve known each other.
Claire has her rules when it comes to dating and to keep her heart safe. What happens when Trevor realizes that he cannot contain his crush? She tries to keep him away until she can no longer resist him and gives into him.
But with her past with her father and Trevor’s current job, will it be enough for her to stay and give it a chance?
K.L. Grayson gave me the feels with this read. These two were filled with so much guilt and they both find a way to help each other. Two people who have known each other since kids find that maybe they feel more than friendship towards one another.
She has rules when it comes to being with a guy and Trevor breaks all of those rules. He wants to be with her and she is fighting it but he is determined to show her that what they can have is worth breaking the rules. Will he succeed? Will she be able to move past her fears? Will they be able to move past the guilt they have in their lives?
I highly recommend this book. K.L. Grayson did such a great job with this book and now I just have to go back and get Rhett’s story as well. Needless to say this is a standalone and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Another amazing book by KL Grayson!! This story has so much emotion…be prepared to laugh, cry and swoon! Trevor & Claire’s chemistry was off the charts…good thing he was a firefighter! 😉 I love these characters so much! The unconditional friendship between Claire & Mo, the brothers who give each other crap but protect each other fiercely, the support of the parents…it all makes this series so enjoyable to read! I loved the heart to heart with Claire and her Mom. Milo was perfect! !! Trevor was so freaking swoon worthy, I could hardly stand it!! Claire was so guarded and it took the right man for her to move past her insecurities. I loved every minute of this book!! Definitely a must read! <3
4.5 stars
KL Grayson has done it again!
Crazy Hot Love is a friend’s to Lovers story that has all the feels, angst and laughter a really great romance should have.
This book kept me turning pages even when I knew there were other things I needed to be doing.
Trevor and Claire have lots of heat and chemistry between them. Even before the first big one, I was thinking, “kiss her already!”, glad I’m not an author because that first kiss was Amazing! Well done KL.
Claire and Mo are still best of friends and their interaction with each other is entertaining as hell.
Claire about broke my heart and Trevor did too. And I love that this story shows how good it is to be able to go home, that no matter how old you get, sometimes a parents love is the only thing that helps.
And we get another lovable, funny fur baby.
I am loving this series by an author who knows how to make her readers feel.
Thank you KL Grayson for sharing your amazing talent with the world of romance.
4.5 Flaming Stars!
This is the 2nd book in the Dirty Dicks series, but the first one I have read and let me just say that I just bought Crazy Sexy Love because I needed more of the Allen brothers and the gang.
I really enjoy Small Town reads and this one was perfect – it had the right amount of angst, sexiness and humor. There is such a strong bond between these characters, you just “feel” it. I had a hard time putting this one down.
I’m ready for more…
I am crazy about Crazy Hot Love! Claire and Trevor have known and looked out for each other most of their lives. Little did they know that all that was building into a beautiful love story. The chemistry between them has been there for years, but they have just been circling each other and once they both decide to act on this explosive attraction the flames light up the pages!
This author has done it again! Book 2 in the Dirty Dicks series has me swooning and fanning myself!
I loved Claire and Trevor’s chemistry and their story and how it all unfolded. I think they are one of my favorite couples I’ve read about this year. Claire was a little frustrating at times, but aren’t we all at some point?
This was a well-written friends-to-lovers read and I will definitely be reading future books in this series!
As with all of the KL Grayson books I’ve read, the writing in Crazy Hot Love is smooth, flows well and keeps to a steady pace…before you even realize it, an hour has passed since you sat down! The story is definitely sweet and can get pretty emotional at times, yet it’s still extremely hot when the story calls for it. Trevor and Claire have made avoiding their attraction to each other just another part of their normal daily routines, both hiding their feelings and thoughts for their own reasons. Until chemistry catches up with them!
I loved both characters and how we get to see everyone from the first book just moving on in their lives as well. This book can definitely standalone but when read in order, you get more of the whole picture.
As Trevor and Claire have found, nothing in love comes easy but when you find it, you’ll do whatever it takes to make it work, even if it means facing your worst fears. Trevor and Claire do this together and it makes for a great story!
“I would rather love you and risk losing you than not have you at all, because my life doesn’t work without you in it.”
So Sweet!! I loved Crazy Hot Love!!! This was a touching read! I cried my eyes out for Claire and Trevor! They are my Favorite so far! Claire was stubborn and has a lot to over come emotionally. Trevor has the Hots for Claire and has tried his hardest to keep his distance. They find themselves in a bathroom together and things get Hottt!!! Ahh! I loved these two characters so much! I wanted to smack the several times! Claire is down to earth and relatable, Trevor is charming and swoon worthy! They drove me crazy!! Secrets come out and truths are revealed, will Claire and Trevor overcome what stands in their way? You have to find out!! You won’t be disappointed! Grayson always delivers a sexy romance that will pull at your heartstrings! I love this close group of family and friends, and how we got parts of their lives. This is the second book in the series and I highly recommend you read them in order! Love is brewing for a few other characters and I’m dying to know their story! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Woooo! These Allen brothers are off the chart hot, protective and when they fall, they fall hard and fast……but, can be stubborn as all hell! Crazy Hot Love is book two in the Dirty Dicks series and its Trevor’s turn.
Trevor knows what he wants and he wants Claire but he feels he doesn’t deserve her and has a secret that may stop them before they even start.
Claire has rules, she wants somebody dependable, in a job that some would say boring, she says safe……but when you find out her reasons, you want to hug her tight!
But like Trevor, she is tired of fighting whatever this is, and damn, whatever this is, is hot and sweet and hot…..Oh I said that already!
I highly recommend you add this to your TBR, especially if you have read Book One!!
I’m so glad Trevor and Claire got their own book!!! It’s amazing to think how much things can change when we stop letting fear run our lives.
I loved the build between Trevor and Claire. Their chemistry was combustible and once unleashed there was no containing it. Trevor is one swoon-worthy fireman. Crazy Hot Love hit every emotion. There was no way I could put the book down once I started reading. It was great reading more about Rhett and Mo.
Overall, I thought Crazy, Hot Love was a cute story. Claire and Trevor have known, yet avoided each other, for so long that there was no denying the built up tension between them. I liked Trevor from the very beginning. There was just something about him that clicked for me and it was so easy to connect with him. I struggled at times when it came to Claire to the point where it was hard to stay engaged in the story. Things did get better though as the story continued to progress. I did admire her friendship with Mo, Rhett and Cooper. She definitely needed supportive friends who are always there to pick you when you need it the most. I enjoyed the way Trevor and Claire’s relationship grew. I loved how he wanted to take things slow even though they’d known each other for most of their lives. I thought the way they bantered back and forth was entertaining, and it was sweet how Trevor was there to help Claire float when she was obviously drowning. I think I enjoyed the ending the most. Things got pretty emotional and it was nice to see these characters, especially Claire, open up and put their hearts on their sleeves.
Crazy, Hot Love is the second in the Dirty Dicks series following the Allen siblings. This book focuses on Trevor and his long time crush, Claire, in a very sweet friends to lovers story.
I enjoyed getting to know both of these characters and seeing them find their way to each other. Ms. Grayson does an excellent job of diving into the baggage and fears that both of them bring to the table and made it feel like their love was radiating of the page.
Since this is part of a series, most of the secondary cast has been met before. Rhett and Mo, the couple from the first Dirty Dicks book, play key roles here as the bother and best friend of Trevor and Claire. We also get to know the rest of the Allen family a little better and see glimpses of the couple we will be meeting in the next book.
This is a fun series and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.
I love Trevor and Claire! Their backstory and history together makes this story so real, and their chemistry is amazing. Claire has certain rules, understandably so, but I am so glad she listened to her heart, and not her head. I love that the characters are so close knit, and are there for each other no matter what. This book made me laugh, cry, and on the edge of my seat with anticipation. I couldn’t put it down. I love K.L. Grayson’s books, and her writing is second to none. I highly recommend Crazy, Hot Love!
Crazy Hot Love is little brother Trevor’s story to love. Trevor is Rhett’s brother from Crazy Sexy Love book 1 in this series. Claire has been one of Rhett’s best friends. Trevor has been the 4 years younger brother with a crush on his brother older friend since childhood. Fast forward to the present and Claire is older almost thirty and is still trying to find her first love. She also has had a crush on Trevor but being that’s she’s older and he’s a firefighter scares her to make Trevor even a possible man to love. Well, the heart wants what the heart wants and her heart wants Trevor. They go down a path of exploring their feelings with each other. Is it worth all the fears, and uncertainty Claire has for loving Trevor? I love Claire and Trevor. Their journey to love was funny, and romantic. All the characters played an amazing roll in this story. It gets me invested in them and I look forward to the next book in this series!
This book wrecked me. I may be a little more emotional than others for personal reasons, but this author draws you in and then leaves you torn up. Trevor is charming and pure alpha fire fighter. He knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. Clair has her demons that she needs to deal with or she could ruin the best thing she ever had. I loved this story and can’t wait for the next one
