Three-time world champion bull rider Rhett Allen has never been afraid to get his hands dirty. Hard work, sweat, and determination have gotten him where he is today—and that’s holed up in a hospital room, wondering how he let that damn bull buck him off. He’s also wondering why he thought it was a good idea to let his twin brother talk him into returning home to heal.Rhett has a million reasons … million reasons to come home to Heaven, Texas, and only one reason to stay away. That reason comes in the form of a sweet and feisty girl who stole his heart long before he ever thought to give it away. The only problem…that girl has turned into a stunning woman.
Monroe Gallagher is downright sexy with more curves than County Line Rd. It’s been six years since he’s seen her, six years since he’s felt any form of peace, and six years since she gripped his heart in her delicate little hands and squeezed the life out of it. The longer he’s in Heaven, the more he starts to realize that the heart she took from him—the one she crushed into a million pieces—she also never gave back.

I sat down this morning to read a few chapters before getting started on my chores. And then…the book was finished! I loved the Allen family, and this was a great first book in the series. Mo and Rhett are great characters, and I love their interactions. Second chance romances where the characters have grown so much since they last saw each other are so good. I love it when you can see how the characters change and maybe they wouldn’t have been great if they hadn’t been separated. They seem to treasure each other just a little more because it wasn’t easy.

I read and loved KL Grayson’s A Touch of Fate series, so I was happy to stumble upon this new series from her, especially when I heard that she was going to be a part of Kristen Proby’s crossover series next spring. This was the first book in a new series that takes place in Texas and involves a bull rider, something I don’t have much experience understanding or reading about, but I found that I enjoyed it a lot!
Rhett and Monroe (Mo) were childhood friends and sweethearts. When he broke out on the PBR, fate- in the form of a manager- broke them apart. Six years later, after a concussion and shoulder injury, Rhett returned to the small town of Heaven to rehab. Then, he found out about all of the difficulties that Mo had endured while he was off chasing his dream. Hers had disappeared due to family circumstances. They rekindled their relationship, but things aren’t always easy.
I very much liked both of the main characters. I think what put this as top read for me was the relationship that Monroe had with her father. I found myself crying on multiple occasions through their interactions. It greatly affected me, and made me love Monroe even more.
I can’t wait to see where the rest of these characters go, and hope to get more updates from Rhett and Mo in following books in this series of standalones!
There isn’t a book I open from K.L. where I don’t fall completely in love with the characters. I loved this 2nd chance romance, from the moment I started this love story, I was completely sucked in. Rhett is sexy, sweet, and a completely swoon worthy bull rider. He has a great family, and good friends who support him. Monroe is a small town girl that does any and everything she can to take care of her dad. Its been 6 years since Monroe and Rhett broke up, Rhett is injured in a bull riding competition and has a few reasons to return home to rehab his injuries and one reason to stay away….Monroe! The hurt, pain, and regret are still there, however sparks haven’t faded between them. if your’re in the mood for a sweet and AMAZING love story, you need this book!
What’s better than a second chance romance? Or even a best friends to lovers romance? The answer to that would be nothing! These are two of my favorite romance genres! And Ms. Grayson does not disappoint with Rhett and Mo! My heart is still smiling at these two!!
Rhett…. he’s sexy and sweet, a bull rider (need I say more?) and just plain a genuine and good man. And that man also has a heart of gold. And he has a great relationship with his family which I love and adore. And lastly, he’s perfect for our Mo…. even if it doesn’t seem like it at first!
Mo….. she’s sweet, very maternal, one who would do anything for those she loves, goes above and beyond for her dad, and takes care of her businesses animals like they are her own! (Again, need I say more?) This girl also has a heart of gold and then some. And best of all she’s the perfect match for our Rhett!
These two have a history and it isn’t necessarily pretty. But life is about overcoming the not so pretty and coming out stronger and better on the other side. Rhett and Mo learn a thing or two about this and then some! Their story is perfect. They are perfect! And their friends and parents are perfect. Claire and Tess, Sharon and Mo’s dad, Coop, Trevor, Adley, and Rhett’s parents make the rest of this story. These two families and the friends outside of them make the rest of this story, that’s for darn sure!
I’ve laughed, cried, and swooned hard. I’d do it all over again and then some! Ms. Grayson never ceases to amaze me. Every time I pick up one of her books I dub it my new favorite and every time I have another new one because they keep getting better and better! Rhett and Mo are no exception! I’m so very in love with them! And you will be too! One click now!
I am a KL Grayson fan. The books that I’ve read by her, I’ve loved, this book though, is my favorite. Rhett and Monroe’s story really clicked with something inside of me. About 30% into the book I felt such a bond with these characters.
Perhaps it’s because I’ve done dog rescue and I understand that desire to help these homeless animals, and you don’t get a day off. Volunteers can go back to their lives and come and go from helping, but when that is your place and your passion, it can run you ragged. As I read the book, Monroe was someone I could completely relate to with her passion and her fierce love for those around her.
Rhett walked away from Mo once, but when he returns home to heal, the one thing he needs most is Mo whether he’s ready to admit it or not. Out on the bull riding circuit he is a big deal but Rhett misses Mo and what they had.
As these two reconnect to heal the hurt they both lived through, I cried for them and I loved them. The writing is beautiful and I fell in love with this second chance romance. This story was so good. KL Grayson knocked it out of the park with this one!
I liked this one. Second chance romance with a sexy bull rider, Rhett, and the girl he left behind…or did he?
Monroe “Mo” is just barely keeping her head above water, working at the animal shelter, bartending, and trying to take care of her dad after his stroke. When her ex happens to come back into the small town of Heaven, Texas, to heal from his injuries I had no idea how this would play out. There is obviously a lot of unfinished business between these two and I don’t just mean the chemistry.
This leads me to where I had a few issues with Monroe as she tried to take all the blame for what happened and I just didn’t see it that way. Communication is a two way street after all 🙂 That combined with her willingness to forgive Rhett so quickly made me a little judgey towards her, but the scenes with her father reminded me that she is just a very selfless and giving person with a huge heart. Rhett is not without fault, of course, but like Monroe I found myself giving him a pass as soon as he helped out with the animals or got her on horseback…darn charming cowboys, haha!
KL Grayson’s books are the epitome of why I love to read! Her books hook you from page one and immerse you in a story with string characters and a plot that produces all the feels! Her words flow beautifully and flawlessly. Crazy Sexy Love certainly did not disappoint! Who doesn’t love a hot sexy bull rider who is more worried about winning then his health. Rhett works hard and loves harder! Mo is a strong, determined girl who puts the ones she loves before herself. Life brings Rhett and Mo back together and their chemistry is off the chart. Major swoon worthy moments, some yelling at the characters and a whole lot of Crazy Sexy Love! Definitely a must read!!
What could be better than a sexy hot bull rider, plus a second chance romance story filled with intense chemistry!!! Grab this AWESOME book and be ready to take a ride that will leave you wanting to stay up all night saying one more chapter!!
Sexy, Heartfelt, and Beautifully Written!!
KL Grayson is an automatic one click for me. You can always feel her stories come to life and this one hit all the right spots!
Rhett is a true alpha cowboy. Nothing more alpha than a bull rider and he truly lives and breathes that life. After an incident takes him back to his hometown he has to face his past.
Mo is running herself ragged. She is taking care of everything but herself. But staying busy keeps her from thinking about him…. Until he comes home.
This second chance romance will touch you in so many ways. It is filled with love, loss, and hope.
This is definitely one that you don’t want to miss!

I’ve been a fan of K.L. Grayson for a while now and I like that she writes a wide variety of romance. Some heavy, some angsty, some more steamy than others and I liked that Crazy Sexy Love was a mostly sweet second-chance romance. Don’t get me wrong there were some steamy and emotional parts to this one but overall this book had that nice undertone to it.
I think my favorite thing about this book was Monroe (aka Mo). Despite working herself to the bone, she was such a fighter. To take care of her father, she put her own wants and needs and even her heart aside. It wasn’t easy and most days it was all she could do to drag herself to work. But when an unfortunate accident brings her biggest regret, Rhett, back into her orbit her life starts spiraling again.
Oh that cowboy gives a whole new meaning to broody. It could be the concussion but it’s mostly Mo. She broke his heart and no matter how many bulls or women he rode, he couldn’t shake her from his head or heart. But their journey back to one another wasn’t easy. There was a lot of pain and unnecessary suffering to work through.
Throw a silly bird, a testy cat, some adorable dogs into the mix and it was the recipe for the right amount of lightness to break up some of the emotion between Mo and Rhett. I really enjoyed how K.L. Grayson let her characters explore their dreams and pain and love both individually and together. I think it made the healing that Rhett and Mo experienced that much more authentic. And I can’t leave out the rest of the Allen brothers. They were all their own strong person and I am so ready to meet them.
Can I just say that I love KL Grayson?! Because darn it, I do!! This book proves that this lady weaves magic, magic I tell you!
Rhett is a three time rodeo champ, he returns home to recover from his latest injury and comes face to face with his childhood sweetheart. It is obvious that there is a lot of unfinished business between them and a lot of misunderstanding that have left them both broken in more ways than one.
My heart!! It is clear from the get go that both Rhett and Mo are hurting and my heart hurt with them. In true KL style, the emotions roll off the pages, sucking you right in and making me physically rub at the ache in my chest. Will they get their HEA or is the pain and hurt from the past just too much to bear?
I cannot wait for more!!
And this is why KL Grayson is one of my favorite authors! Crazy Sexy Love was amazing! I’ll definitely be rereading!
This author always catches my attention with her fantastic covers but the words, oh the words are what sells me each and every time!
Champion bull rider Rhett is one gorgeous lead! Great guy, good family and friends, a career he loves and the ladies love him…what could be missing? Hard working Monroe is a saint…she’s taking care of herself and her sickly father, always working and never getting anywhere!
When Rhett gets injured and goes back home, bumping into Monroe, his past love is a big surprise! Can lost feelings resurface for these two? Or will past hurts all come back to the surface?
Hurt, love, jealousy and so many feelings are brought to the surface.
I highly recommend this second chance romance! I loved every single word and know anyone who loves romance will too! Five Big Stars!
I love Rhett and Monroe! The depth of the characters, their chemistry, and their growth as people kept me hooked throughout. I went through a lot of emotions reading Crazy Sexy Love. I hope there’s more to Rhett and Monroe’s story in the future, and I didn’t want this book to end. K.L. Grayson is a phenomenal author and I highly recommend all her books!
Any book blurb that has the words “champion bull rider” in it, has my attention from the get go, it’s not secret to my friends that I love bull riders, so when I saw the author was publishing a book with a bull rider, I knew I had to read it. It didn’t disappoint either! Not only was it about a bull rider, we had a second chance romance too. Two of my favorite things combined into one and I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to handle it!
Rhett and Monroe have a past and feelings that haven’t gone away. They are both crazy in love still, but they both have trust issues when it comes to what happened in the past, what they didn’t know was a crazy female Rhett knew add to their drama. The spark is still there between the two of them and as strong as ever. They weren’t prepared to have each other back in their lives after Rhett gets hurt, but it might have been the best thing for them.
I loved reading Rhett and Monroe’s story. I couldn’t get enough of watching them admit they were still in love with each other. Their connection was one of the best parts of the story and I never wanted it to end. I hope we get more from the author and the Allen family.
I loved absolutely everything about this book! The plot, the characters, the writing…I’m convinced that KL Grayson just isn’t capable of writing anything less than perfect.
Brent is so sweet and caring; but not in that sickly sweet, cheesy, roll your eyes kind of way . It’s genuine, mature and just gives you that warm feeling in your chest. And that’s what I loved the most about this book…it’s mature and genuine. The emotions, the characters actions and the way they handle what life throws at them is what kept me hooked. Mo just rocks! She goes with the flow and every time life knocks her down, she gets right back up and keeps fighting. To see these 2 get their HEA was heartwarming and definitely left me with a smile on my face.
First off Rhett is a sexy name. And oh does the name fit. I mean who doesn’t think a man in tight wranglers, cowboy boots and a Stetson atop their head is super sexy. But this story was so much more than the sexy bull rider. This was a story about second chances and soul deep love.
We have Rhett the heart broken bull rider chasing his dreams. Then we have Monroe, the woman who tried to do what was right and gave up her dreams to do what she thought was right. I mean every story needs some tension and miscommunication otherwise the book would be over in two chapters. It’s how the author pulls you into that story that makes it worth turning the pages.
Ms. Grayson wrote a beautiful love story full of regret, hope and second chances. From the moment Mo and Rhett were in the same vicinity you could feel the magnetic pull and the soul crushing chemistry they had. They had long history and even though it had been six years it was anything but over.
I loved everything about this book from the chemistry to the family connection to the love story. The story will pull on the heart strings and your heart will be full in the end. This is one book you’ll want to add to your TBR list.
