Distracted. Disturbed. Unhinged.Crazy.Yeah, that’s the best word for it. Just one glance at Harper Jennings drives me crazy.She’s my best friend’s sister, and sneaking around with her was the most exciting thing in the world — until it wasn’t.When our secrets come to light, we soon learn life’s messy, and so is love. Faced with her mortality, my mere existence as a man is reduced to nothing.That … is reduced to nothing.
That was then and this is now.
I may have been the one to walk away eight years ago, but I’ll be damned if I do it again. My craving for her is stronger than ever, and like it or not, she wants me, too. I did what I had to back then for her.
Now, I’ll do what I damn well please for us.
The point is… we can’t help who we fall in love with. Even if it drives us crazy, I’ll make her mine.

Absolutely amazing story!! Leaona Luxx never disappoints. It was heartbreaking and beautiful. I loved Harper and Ridge so much. This one was impossible to put down once I started.
The road to redemption in this story is an emotional and fulfilling tale about Ridge and Harper. Thru have been in love since a young age . He is her friend and her brother’s best friend growing up in a small town.
Circumstances happen and they are separated for years. Neither forgetting what they had and what they went through. Their reunion and road to a HEA is filled with so many well written feels. These characters are real, strong but have their insecurities. Loved joe they matured and found their second chance. I highly recommend this book.
Leaona always keeps Cherry Grove on Highway 17 alive in my head and heart. Ridge and Harper are no different. They grew up together and wouldn’t admit to each other they had feelings for the other. Now after years of being separated they have come back into each others lives. Now they each have to decide if they are ready to show their feelings. They both have families close by and they are not afraid to tell them to get their heads on straight, they all knew when they were kids they had feelings for each other now is the time to grow up and show each other how much the other means to them.
One and the gang are back to aid their brother in getting his woman, that is if he can get his head out of his. . . Ridge has loved Harper since they were kids. Unfortunately he didn’t feel he was good enough and no one fought for him when he needed them. Not only that there was so much other stuff happening and the more we learn the more we don’t want to know. These two have fought rumors and snubbing for starters with threats and abuse following closely behind. If the two of them can get their heads together and stop with the dumb stuff they can do big things. I can’t tell you how many times I just wanted to knock some sense into both of them in between laughing at the love, family and support not to mention the wisdom of the women they surround themselves with.
If this is your first glance at the clan you might want to start from the beginning with this this group. They will steal your heart, raise your blood pressure and keep you laughing all the while as you learn of their stories and trials. I love this author and never finish any of her books without wanting more and falling in love with her characters. It’s always an amazing, frustrating, hair pulling, kindle throwing experience.
So I read this story and was blown away. I have now read 2 more story from this fantastic series of books and on my 3rd now. I will definitely be reading the whole series.
Ridge is the man of dreams. He loved Harper enough to let her go because he thought he was protecting her. Harper may have married another man but has always loved Ridge. There love is one that we all aspire to have one day. But then the real world comes knocking at there door. Can they make it work or will the world conspire against them. Check it out it’s a phenomenal book.
I loved it and will continue to read more and more by the fabulous Leaona Luxx.
I loved this book! This book was such a rollercoaster ride of emotions and it will have you in tears. I absolutely adored Ridge and Harper and the love that Ridge has for Harper may have been my favorite part. Their story is filled with sadness, heartbreak, strength, and most of all love. A fantastic read from the first page until the last and one I definitely highly recommend.
Leaona has written another amazing and beautiful second chance love story. The beloved characters from previous books make an appearance to help Ridge and Harper along the journey. This book will pull on your heartstrings. Be prepared with Kleenex and a glass of wine.
I love Harper and Ridge and their touching and passionate journey back to each other. Their story is one of true love, friendship, strength and courage. Harper was a brave and feisty woman with a beautiful soul. She never gave up hope and I applaud her for making the decision to escape the madness and return home. She had always loved Ridge and would do whatever it took to show him that he was the man for her. Harper needed Ridge to comfort her, keep her safe and complete her life. Ridge always regretted allowing Harper to leave all those years ago, but he thought he was doing what was best for her. Even after Harper came home he still thought he wasn’t good enough for her, but he vowed to put the past behind him and protect her at all costs. They are soulmates and were destined to be together. Ridge was Harper’s hero and savior and he gave her a chance for the life she always wanted. Harper’s dreams were always about starting a new life with Ridge by her side. She survived their time apart and came out stronger because she knew that deep inside their love for each other had never waned, and she was determined to be with him forever.
This was a great book…can be a stand alone, but really adds to the saga when you have read previous books in series…highly recommend
Drive Me Crazy is another wonderful example of what this author writes best and that is family. Ridge and Harper’s story will pull at your heartstrings, especially with everything that Harper has been through. Let’s not talk about Weston because he makes my eye twitch and he’s the type of family that we don’t want to even mention.
With characters from Leaona’s past books appearing to make things right and helping Ridge and Harper, you get that back home feeling of the importance of family with all the right feels. Of course little miss Rumor brings all that sass and love and she has her own special place in Drive Me Crazy.
Drive Me Crazy keeps Cherry Grove full of entertainment, laughter and love.
Drive me Crazy is an emotional read with lots of familiar characters! Overall I liked Ridge and Harper, their story is about second chances and they are my favorite! One thing I love about a Leaona Luxx book is that no matter how heavy and dark the story gets she finds a way to mix light and laughter in. Her characters are fun and quirky which I love! Without giving anything away, I did find some parts to be a little confusing, like things just didnt add up for me. I also got a little frustrated with the story at times because it felt repetitive and going in circles at times.
I always jump to read a book by Leaona because she is an amazing author. As always, I was not disappointed with this book. All the love and feels. I literally finished this book in a day because I couldn’t put it down! True Love never dies! Harper & Ridge are GOALS! I want a love like they have.
Ridge and Harper are a one in a million couple. If all women could find a man like Ridge (just saying). What Harper went through with Weston was earth shattering. In the end, she had to believe in herself and love herself in order to fully give herself back to Ridge. I really loved that part in the book. All woman need to know this….love yourself first!
What an AMAZING storyteller Leaona is! Keep writing….we need more.
My review is going to be short, sweet and right to the point…….I LOVED THIS BOOK…We get to fall in love with a new man and get to see old loves…Fans are going to love this
My first experience reading a Leaona Luxx story and I wasn’t prepared for what I went through with this couple. Confusion, hurt, heartache, pain and through it all there was love. A love that is soul deep but even with a love like that you don’t necessarily get to keep it- life is sometimes a cruel taskmaster that wants you to go through some things to see if the love is really what is supposed to be in your life for always.
The “supporting” characters in this book are equally as important as they help in ways that Harper and Ridge may not even realize they need.
Fantastic all the way through!
This is Leaonna Luxx’s best book! The story sucked me in from the start and held my attention and made me not want to put down the book. Such a great second chance romance!
I went into this book fully prepared (or so I thought) to feel all the feels.
I didn’t even make it through the dedication.
After reading all of Leaona’s previous books, my favorite being Wrecking Us Saving You, I didn’t think she could top that story.
Lesson learned. When I think she cannot out-do herself, she completely blows it out of the water.
Ridge and Harper have a love story that truly transcends time. A love that is formed when they are mere children, and despite circumstances that cause them to drift apart, they prove that love really can overcome obstacles and redeem them.
Reading this story, I found it so relatable as I lived this…i was separated from the love I thought would last forever when we were young, only to be brought back together later down the road.
I frantically scoured each word and devoured each page with tears flowing as I begged for the answers as to how the story would end…and then I cried when it did end and I wasn’t ready to let go of the characters.
Leaona has greatly outdone herself, and I cannot wait to be around for the journey as she continues to create masterpieces.
I have loved this Crazy, Wonderful crew since I first met them in Book One Cherry Grove. The stories allow us to join their family through trials, tribulations, conquests, heart aches and LOVE.
This book is no exception. The story of Ridge and Harper is one that will take you places you are not sure your heart is ready for. You will laugh, you will cry, you will rant, but most of all you will fall in love with another Crazy addition to this Motley Crew of Misfit yet perfectly suited couples and family.
Congratulations on yet another fantastic Story Leaona
Loved this book ! Leaona luxx never disappoints in her books I have loved every one I have read ! This book can be read alone but it is best to read the books before to meet all the gang ! This book makes you want to read all the books before this one again and any others you may not have read already. This book grabs you you get a lot of feels !
