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?

This is a sweet and endearing journey to go on with Drake and Abby. This is my first time experiencing one of K.L. Grayson’s books, and I was not disappointed.
Love, Love, Loved this book! This was my first KL Grayson book, which I hate to admit. So far this Kristen Proby Crossover Collection has delivered! I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the collection.
For Kristen Proby fans Dr Drake is everything you hope for and more! This felt like it could have easily been a Big Sky book in the series. It was all that I hoped it would be and more!
Just out of nursing school, Abigail Darwin decides to change-up her OCD, organized life and take a traveling nursing position in Montana. Luckily, Abigail’s cousin lives there and works in the same hospital, so it’s off to a great start! Little does Abigail know that Drake, who she met one very hot night at a wedding is a doctor on staff there. Drake and Abby try to deny their chemistry, but mixing work and pleasure can be quite the complicated situation. Will they be able to keep their romance quiet when the hospital policy is strictly against it? Read and find out!
This was just such a sweet, sweet story. I LOVED Dr. Drake Merritt! He’s definitely book boyfriend material! Crazy Imperfect Love was the perfect weeknight read that’s sure to give you some sizzle and leave you with an HEA. 4 stars!
4.5 Stars
In anticipation of Crazy Imperfect Love, I read the books in KL Grayson’s Dirty Dicks series (although this wasn’t necessary at all; they really don’t overlap). Both Abby and Drake had been mentioned on many occasions in connection to Hannah (Abby is Hannah’s sister, and Drake and Hannah have been friends for years). I really wanted to read their story!
Abby has a very routine life, often led by her OCD tendencies, so to try to break up the routine, she takes a position as a traveling nurse. Drake is the chief of surgery at the hospital in Cunningham Falls where Abby winds up. They had met at Hannah’s wedding and hit it off right away. But with Abby only being in Cunningham Falls for a short period of time, and Drake being her superior, a relationship is not possible.
I absolutely loved this story! I loved Abby and her OCD, and how well Drake handled it- curious and patient, not accusatory or frustrated. KL Grayson did a wonderful job of infiltrating Kristen Proby’s Big Sky world- a place that I really wish that I could visit!
I highly recommend Crazy Imperfect Love, KL Grayson’s Dirty Dicks series, as well as Kristen Proby’s Big Sky series!

I was lucky enough to read this book early. I received three ARCs from this series and CRAZY IMPERFECT LOVE was my favorite of the three. I enjoyed the writing style and it was almost like I was reading a Kristen Proby book. I love Kristen Proby she is my favorite and since K.L. Grayson’s writing is similar I really enjoyed this book the most. I also enjoyed it for many other reasons. The main Character is a nurse, I am a nurse. It was cool reading and also relating to this book. I loved the imperfect parts of the characters because it gave the book a realistic feel and I could really relate to the characters. I loved the small town feel and the banter was hilarious. This book was way too short, I needed more. I wish it were a full length novel. My only hate was insta love but it still works. I still really enjoyed the book because the writing was good. It is not your typical romance novel. The issues in this book gave a deeper aspect, a different aspect because it was meaningful and not just sex. I really liked it a lot. I gave Crazy Imperfect Love 4.5 stars. This is my first book by Grayson but I already downloaded a few of her other books to read.
CRAZY IMPERFECT LOVE is instalment 2.5 and novella in K.L. Grayson’s contemporary, adult DIRTY DICKS erotic, romance series. This is Dr. Drake Merritt, and twenty-six year old, RN Abigail Darwin’s story line. CRAZY IMPERFECT LOVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.
NOTE: CRAZY IMPERFECT LOVE is part of Kristen Proby’s BIG SKY multi-authored, cross over series.
Told from dual first person points of view (Abby and Drake) CRAZY IMPERFECT LOVE follows the building but forbidden relationship between Dr. Drake Merritt, and twenty-six year old, RN Abigail Darwin. Thirty days earlier, at the wedding of mutual friends, Dr. Drake Merritt and Abigail Darwin, met and spent one night together that ended with Abigail saying goodbye. Fast forward to present day wherein Abigail, now working as a traveling nurse, finds herself face to face with her one night stand, a man she hasn’t stopped thinking about in all the time. Working together brings Drake and Abby together but a no fraternization policy is in force at the hospital, a policy that will force our couple to make a decision about their futures, together or alone. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Abby and Drake, and the potential fall-out as Abby panics in the face of professional misconduct.
CRAZY IMPERFECT LOVE focuses on OCD, breaking the rules and falling in love. Our heroine struggles with an emotional disorder that oft-times paralyzes our heroine in her daily life. Dr. Drake Merritt knows what he wants, and he want Abby Darwin but rules meant to be obeyed are in opposition to the growing love between our leading couple. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense. The premise is engaging and captivating: the characters are dynamic and colorful; the romance is fiery and hot.
Can a person who is always in control be impulsive? Abby and Drake are perfect in every way yet she is afraid of really being herself. As a nurse she lives for her job but doesn’t want any relationship with doctors. So it comes as a surprise Drake is into her. I loved that even though she thinks she is not good for him she is totally all he wants. K.L. Grayson not only created an unsual heroine with some problems but seeing Drake love her through her imperfections was beautiful. A great book in this Crossover series cannot wait to see what is next.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
This is my first read from KL Grayson but I am a huge fan of Kristen Proby’s Big Sky series so its a great introduction. Once I started this one I was hooked. I mean this is Drake’s story and he is one hot AF Doctor.
KL Grayson delivered a great sweet, hot, romance that showed that no-one is perfect but with the right person it can be perfect. I honestly loved Abby and Drake, the chemistry between them is hot and sparking soon as they meet. You just have to be open to whats in front of you and flexible with your plans.
If this is KL Grayson’s style of writing I will be checking her books out
This book was so good!!
Drake is seriously the perfect hero. Sexy, caring, and isn’t afraid to find a solution to a problem, even if it means giving something up. I really enjoyed Abby’s character. She has a trait that isn’t talked about much in books, and it was kinda refreshing to find a heroine who isn’t “perfect”.
This was my first KL Grayson read, but definitely won’t be my last! It is definitely a must read!!
5 Stars
I’ll be honest here and admit I’ve never read a Kristen Proby book before (gasp! I know!), BUT I am a HUGE KL Grayson fan and have read every book in her Dirty D’s series, so I wasn’t about to pass this one up. Anywhose… Abby and Drake meet at a wedding and instantly the sparks were flying. Abby finally stepped out of her comfort zone and had a wild night of incredibly HOT sex that kept her body singing and her thoughts on Drake. Fresh out of nursing school, she takes a job as a travel nurse and winds up in Montana with her cousin Hannah and while checking on one of her new patients, runs smack into the sexiness that she can’t stop thinking about. Only problem is he’s now sort of her boss and the hospital has a strict “no fraternization” policy, but Dr. Drake Merritt doesn’t give a rat’s a$$ and is determined to see where this goes.
Can I just say how much I freaking love Drake Merritt? Tall, dark, sexy, AND a doctor? Hello? I think YES! I’ve been in the medical field for almost thirty years and I have NEVER come across a doctor like that. Anyways, I adored this quick crossover read and enjoyed every single minute. These two have chemistry in spades and their banter is nothing shy of foreplay. If you’re a fan of the Dirty D’s series, you definitely need to add this one to your collection.

I received a review copy of the book before release for an honest review.
This was a top favorite in this crossover series as well and I love that it takes place in Cunningham Falls. Abby comes to town for a wedding and that’s how she meets Drake. They have a wedding fling but then she leaves town only to come back a few months later for a temporary job.
Drake wants more and so he talks her into dating and flinging more with him but he is her supervisor at work so the relationship is very secret. This is a really fun story with great writing and wonderful characters and its great that it takes place in Cunnigham Falls. It is novella side and under 100 pages.
4.5 Stars
This was a quick read, but oh so enjoyable. I’m a big fan of the K. L. Grayson’s Dirty Dicks series so I knew I had to read this one. I was hooked from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. I laughed quite often, but this book also packed the feels and heart. I loved Drake so much because he accepted Abby’s quirks and didn’t make her feel like something is wrong with her. This is definitely a book you don’t want to pass up on!
So much fun, quick read! Passion, humor and romance, this book had it all. I absolutely loved how the characters had flaws. It made it real and relatable. Fantastic epilogue!
This is my first book of this author and I have to say that I really liked it! This crossover between Kristen Proby’s Big Sky series and other book universes is so great because we get to know new authors and still have our dear characters and series.
Abby and Drake are a great surprise! Their story is sweet, sexy and full of feelings and great moments.
I will not spoil much because the book is so worth of reading and you get to know these great characters.
I will look for more books of this authors and I really enjoyed this book.
I absolutely LOVED the chemistry between Abigail and Drake. I caught myself smiling and laughing so many times at their antics. It was so easy to fall in love with Drake. KL Grayson continues to wow us with swoon worthy men and Drake was no exception. I enjoyed learning about Abigail and the little quirks that made her who she was not to mention the fact that she didn’t try to hide them. I can’t wait for you to get sucked into the world that is Drake and Abigail and their Crazy Imperfect Love.
I felt for Abigail because of her OCD and how she has to go through things a few times before she can relax and be sure everything is the way it should be. She’s also embarrassed because she’s different and her OCD keeps her from living life completely. She needs routine in her life.
I like that she meets Drake and takes her friend’s and cousin’s advice. Drake and Abigail meet at her cousin’s wedding. Her doesn’t tell her he’s a doctor.
I enjoyed this book and seeing how Abigail and Drake go about their relationship. There is chemistry between them from the very beginning and it can’t be denied. I like how Drake doesn’t judge Abby when he notices certain things about her and he lets her do things her way until she’s certain things are the way they should be.
I highly recommend this book.
Steamy Hot and I gobbled this book up so fast. I flove Drake Hot dam he is yummy. I so didnt want this book to end. This book will having you laughing some of the things Addy says hysterical.
Abby Darwin her friends are trying to break out of her shell and get her to do something or someone even if just for the night. Abby thinks her life is fine the way it is. Maybe a tad O.C.D till one night one man she thought she never see again
Drake He can’t let go of the girl that got away now shes here and he cant seem to get her out of his head. The thing is he cant touch her it will ruin everything or will it.
“I was trying to make you laugh, not kill you.”
“My name is Abigail. My friends call me Abby.”
“Like you want to kiss me as bad as I want to kiss you.”
“If I die tomorrow, will you open a turtle sanctuary in my name?”
“And if I die tomorrow, you can honor me by fulfilling your dreams.”
“Life always has a way of interfering in our plans, doesn’t it?”
“Come out ,come out wherever you are.
“If you’re sure you’re ready for my brand of crazy.”
I absolutely loved Abby and Drake’s story. It was a wonderful story of love and overcoming. The author did a wonderful job of working in the Big Sky world.

It doesn’t get much better than this. Crazy Imperfect Love checks off almost every single box of what I love in a romance.
Adorably timid, organized and quirky Abby. Confident, impulsive and sexy Drake. Two polar opposites who can’t deny their attraction. Even when they know they should. I liked how Drake slowly worked to break through Abby’s walls. How he gently pushed to get her to open up to him. How he was patient and accepted her for who she was. And Abby did the same for him. It didn’t hurt that these two were electric in the bedroom, or the floor or the…you get the point.
The odds weren’t in their favor and there were a lot of details to iron out. All they were sure about was they would somehow, some way make it work. But with both of their busy schedules, there wasn’t a whole lot of time for them to figure out what was next. And when the inevitable happened, it set off a chain reaction of events and emotions.
While K.L. Grayson has long been one of my go-to authors, this book was something a little extra. It was about communication and acceptance. Patience and understand. Chasing your dreams and following your heart. Drake and Abby weren’t perfect, but they owned their flaws, and were indeed perfect for each other. And that ending took me straight swoonville.
