Another winning rock star romance from this Lisa Suzanne who definitely knows how to write them! Every book she gives us is always so entertaining and Driving Me Crazy was no exception. This was such a fun romantic comedy which had all the great elements that I have come to love from Lisa. There was passion, some drama and angst and hilarious witty banter.
Rascal and Amber are the epitome of opposites attract yet somehow fit perfectly together. From the beginning, I was completely invested in their relationship and the twist and turns that came their way. Watching them overcome these bumps in the road was a delight.
Not only are Rascal and Amber fantastic characters but there is a amazing cast of side characters as well. This story takes you on a fun journey filled with hot chemistry, humorous banter and all the feels.
Driving Me Crazy was a fun read. Amber and Will are opposites. Amber is a hardworking ER nurse. Will is a rockstar who’s a little childish. Both are kind of looking for more in life. They both signed up to a road trip for a reality show. This two are fun characters that will have you laughing out loud. They both struggle a bit and don’t just provide laughs but also there are angsty and emotion times too.
This story is dual POV and it was important for the reader to see both sides of the story and get to know both character’s inner thoughts and feelings. Amber and Will have a story that does not follow a traditional story arc. They begin by hooking up in “Waking Up Married” then their relationship becomes more than either of them bargained for. Their black moment is really a large chunk of the book closer to the beginning. As a reader, I feel like this allowed me to experience the pain of that in an excruciating way. They live through the black moment together on the road and it is brutal. Ultimately, it makes the regaining of trust and the willingness to accept and love each other that much sweeter because they have experienced deep hurt from the other. They each have some growing to do and the reader is along for the ride to see it all. Their HEA is sweet and touching as they find a way to have a future together and still maintain their dreams. This was an excellent addition to the series and I was thrilled to see a more mature Rascal get his girl.
Did someone mention a roadtrip? Sign me up!! Driving Me Crazy is just the book, I needed to read, since I’m confined to home. The story drew me in from the start, it was comical, with just the right amount of sexiness. Rascal and Amber were so opposite of eachother, but they had such a incredible connection. I’m glad we got to see the sensitive Rascal, it only made me like him more. I liked seeing the other band members too. I enjoyed this story, and looking forward to the next book from L.S.
I can’t get enough of the guys and I have been waiting for this story.
Amber and Rascal have some chemistry many go their whole life searching for.
What could go wrong on a road trip across the country?!? So many things. This book is full of feelings. Sometimes there is fun and playful banter and sometimes there anger and you want to slap them both in the face.
Each book is better than the last and I love this world Lisa has created.
Another fantastic Lisa Suzanne rockstar story! Though this can be read as a standalone book, it’s so much better when read as part of the series involving the band MFB. If you read Waking Up Married you will be familiar with the start of Will (Rascal) and Amber’s relationship. They are complete and total opposites that hook up in Vegas during a fun weekend when Amber and her BFF spend the weekend with the band. Driving Me Crazy is the story of these two – and the 0h-so-fun continuation of that Vegas weekend.
Amber is an ER nurse, that loves to bake cookies as a side job and stress break from her nursing career. She is serious, thinks things through, plans thinks out and the complete opposite of Rascal. He is the keyboardist for MFB and known as the goofball, the one not to take anything seriously, the Peter Pan of the group as he has yet to “grow up”. Once the band finishes their current tour, they have quite a bit of time off and Rascal wants to go on a long-dreamed-about road trip across the country. He invites Amber to go with him and she agrees. They also agree to allow a reality show that has been shadowing the band to come along for the ride to be able to use some of their footage for the show. Before the time comes to hit the road, there is an incident with Rascal and Amber breaks up with him and has no plans on road-tripping with him. But they signed a contract to go on the trip together (and secretly she still wants to go to Maine because of a family secret she wants to learn the truth about).
It’s a story about love and loss, learning to “grow up” and let go, finding forgiveness and love again. You ride along as both Rascal and Amber both learn to fight for what they want, learn to love and trust again and potentially find their way back to each other. It’s an easy and fun read that once you start you will not want to put down….Lisa Suzanne knows how to tell a phenomenal rock star story and once again knocks it out of the park! You will not be disappointed!
Since Waking Up Married, I have been waiting for Lisa to write more about Rascal and Amber and Driving Me Crazy was the perfect book.
Rascal is the jokester of MFB but under all the laughs he does have a serious side. Amber is maybe too serious and needs a little fun in her life. This might make these two perfect each other, but a road trip with cameras might not be a good idea. Or it might be real love if you can take a road trip with someone and not kill them.
Lisa Suzanne is the queen of rockstar romances, she always seems to bring us something different from every story she writes. I can’t wait to see what Lisa has in store for Kane.
He is her older brother’s best friend, her total opposite but yet Amber is falling for Rascal. Rascal and Amber set out on a road trip to see if there is more than just horizontal chemistry. This story was absolutely funny, steamy and perfectly written to have you glued to its pages from start to finish. I could not wait to pick this story up again after having to return to the real world and devouring every single word. What a great read! I highly recommend this book, it is the perfect blend of characters, story and a fantastic road trip all twisted up into a HEA.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book for free from the author. Great job Lisa!!
After the little short we got of Amber and Rascal after Waking up Married, I wasn’t sure I needed a full story of them……but after reading it, it was exactly everything I needed to read right now. This story was absolutely fantastic!!
These characters are total opposites in every sense of the word – Rascal definitely played up his man-child role, and Amber was an ER nurse who took life more seriously. But the two of them just clicked and had just this amazing chemistry between them, that even when they were mad at one another – you just could just sense how much they still loved one another.
Their story was sweet, heartwarming, sexy, angsty – good heavens, my heart was breaking at times. And even though the start of the journey Rascal and Amber took was truly a road trip from hell, by the end, it turned out to be the trip of a lifetime.
I was so excited that Rascal & Amber were getting their own book after Adam & Emily. Their hook up seemed to be all about the fun. The book starts off showing just how hot the chemistry is between them and they admit the feeling they are having are more than just the physical attraction for each other. MFB is going on break after Adam & Emily’s wedding and Will is feeling the burnout. He pitches the idea of going on a road trip across the country to Amber and she agrees. Everything seems great until it all falls apart. Both Will & Amber have their own self discovery to deal with and they feel alone not having the other to rely on emotionally. The road trip has its moments which are sad, funny and perfect! I truly like Will & Amber. The interactions of so many of the others from MFB and of course my all time favorite Mark Ashton (swoon) is always the best. This will easily be your next 1 click!!!

Driving me Crazy by Lisa Suzanne is Rascal and Ambers turn. We meet them in Waking Up Married. Rascal a/k/a Will is the keyboardist of a famous rockstar band and Amber is the sister to the lead singer and the best friends with her brothers now wife. Ms. Suzanne has given an amazing road trip story. Emotional, funny, family secrets, friendship and so much more.
My favorite part of this story is the underlying story. Rascal is the funny prankster and he is a boy at heart still but to see him grow into the man he is supposed to be is incredible writing. Amber who has been hurt by her last boyfriend has become so jaded that her walls are high, but as Rascal turns into Will, Amber becomes herself and finds how to enjoy and live life.
But it’s not that easy, Ms. Suzzane takes on this road trip ride and you just can’t help but swoon and laugh along the ride. and maybe shed a tear too!!
Great read. As these characters are in Waking UP Married, they can be read as standalone’s, but I highly recommend reading them in order.
Will/Rascal finds himself forced to go on a road trip being filmed with the woman who broke his heart, and he wants nothing more than to leave her behind. Bound by a signed contract both he & Amber can’t get out of, instead of enjoying the open road & the sights with his girl like he planned, he’s counting down the days until he can drop her off at the airport and never see her again.
Amber knew she messed things up with Will, and she thought during the road trip she can get back in his good graces again. But Will is not making it easy for Amber as he’s become a cold, mean & selfish person. He’s purposely making the trip miserable for her. Will she end up leaving on her own if Will continues to push her away?
Amber is a serious, hard-working person as an ER nurse. She doesn’t have time to let loose & have fun. Will is the complete opposite. Being in her brother Adam’s band, he’s the immature jokester of the group who pulls pranks & doesn’t make plans for anything. These two clash in more ways than one but Amber looks past through his playfulness & really sees him. When she finally has enough of his immaturity & breaks his heart, Will has to figure out if he can forgive & trust her again.
With a family secret & a lot of growing up to do, this road trip had these two opening their eyes, seeing themselves & each other more clearly. Another great read from this author! Looking forward to the next one!
Will and Amber’s story was literally driving me crazy as these two pushed and pulled, never saying what was really in their hearts. A story that is angsty, emotional and at times heart wrenching as these two struggle to see what is right in front of them. As Amber lets her past heartbreak cloud her judgement and as Will lets his pride and defensive armor build a wall around his heart, these two will have to drive each other crazy until it all tumbles down. Take a road trip with these two and enjoy the stops of passion, heat, confusion, conflict, hurt and finally realization of love. These two will drive you crazy but in the end every frustrating moment will be worth the instant when the clouds clear and they finally see each other.
Driving Me Crazy will have you going cuckoo for Coco Puffs (OK, maybe a cookie) while enduring this road trip. You must read the book to get it. HAHA. This book release could not have come at a better time for those of us dealing with a “Shelter in place” mandate. It will take you on a ride of a lifetime across the states to free yourself from going stir-crazy inside the house. You will laugh, feel some hurtful times and love how this developed and played out. This story is about Will (AKA Rascal) from the band, MFB (My Favorite Band) and while each book can be read as a standalone they are inter-connected. Choose one or all and fall in love with MFB. Lisa knows how to write Rock Stars and she delivered again (but we never doubted her). Amazes me how she ups the story each time to make you have a new favorite book of hers. Sorry, but I cannot choose just one cause there is not a book by her I don’t love. Rascal really isn’t so much of a Little Rascal after-all, OK, yes, at times he is, but we saw a side of him that we didn’t see portrayed as a secondary character in the other books. Will is going on a road trip, but there is a little detour in his plans. OH boy! He truly would have driven me bat crazy with his actions a majority of the time. Being Amber, I would have hopped out of the car a few times, but glad she didn’t. Amber is tagging along on this road trip for a much needed break and something else. I won’t spoil anything. It is heartbreaking though and being with the he-devil in the car is enough to drive you crazy. These two have known each other for years seeing as the connection they have in the band. They have a connection that they both fight and ignore, but when you take the time to stop driving a women crazy, you will see what is right in front of you. Just saying, HeHe. After all the craziness it was worth the ride! Now, just when you thought we were at the end of a series and sad as all the band members are no longer single, we get a shock that we do not expect! So all I can say, is Raise some Kane and bring more MFB! Your Driving Me Crazy, Lisa (I say this with love), but we love you for continuing to bring us MFB and snippets of AshMark.
Another great read from Lisa Suzanne and I love been back within the comings and goings of the boys and their band MFB.
Driving Me Crazy is Will/ Rascal and Amber’s story that will have you turning page after page.
Will/Rascal and Amber have been friends forever but over the last few months their relationship has become more. That is until Will and his bandmates go out one night and the police get involved.
Now Amber and Will find themselves having to fulfil an obligation and take a road trip together, will this cause them to hate each other even more or can the find their way back to each other?
A wonderfully written story and I look forward to reading more from the boys of MFB.
Driving Me Crazy by Lisa Suzanne is a standalone, contemporary, opposites attract, rock star romance told in first person, dual POV. It follows the relationship between Rascal, keyboardist for the famous rock band MFB, and Amber, his bandmate Adam’s younger sister. Previous books tell the love stories of other MFB band members, and though it’s unnecessary to read those to enjoy this story, doing so provides maximum enjoyment when familiar characters reappear. To catch up on the other members of MFB, you’ll want to read Take My Heart (Dax, lead singer), The Benefits of Bad Decisions (Brody, drummer), and Waking Up Married (Adam, lead guitarist).
Rascal and Amber are complete opposites. He’s a rock star, she’s an ER nurse. She’s a planner, he goes with the flow. He’s wild and values adventure, she’s balanced and values stability. She’s responsible, he’s playful. He doesn’t think about the future, she wants marriage and a family. They could never work, right? Or could they?
Amber and Rascal’s relationship starts with a one-night stand in Vegas that surprises them both by turning into much more. But when Rascal has a run in with the law, Amber sees their differences as obstacles that can’t be overcome. So they break up. Too bad they’re contractually obligated to go on a cross-country road trip together and film footage for the band’s reality show. They’re going to drive each other crazy if they don’t kill each other first. Can Rascal and Amber find a way to make things work? Read the book to find out.
I loved Amber and Rascal’s story! I loved them both as characters, but must admit that I definitely took sides in their break-up. (I was team Rascal all the way.) These two were a perfect match. I enjoyed how their differences fostered growth and helped bring the best out of each other. The story was sweet, emotional, funny, and SO HOT! I highly recommend it. Looking forward to Kane’s story in the next book.
*** I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC. ***
A family secret, a man-child, and a road trip. What could go wrong? Driving Me Crazy is a fun rockstar romance that proves we all have walls that only certain people can tear down.
Amber and Will hook up in Vegas and sparks fly. Or do they? Will, the keyboardist for the bandMFB, has never grown up. He is never taken seriously and for the most part, let’s everyone run his life. Until he decides to take a road trip. Even that has has stipulations for the bands reality show.
Family secrets have Amber wanting to go to Maine. She agrees to goon this road trip with Will but soon regrets it. She is an ER nurse who likes her life organized and planned out. She is far from a spontaneous person and yet she’s on this road trip with a person who both loves and “hates” her.
Throughout the book, Will starts to become less of a man-child and Amber learns to more spontaneous. A steamy chemistry that only gets steamier as time passes. Lisa has written so that they are very relatable to readers. The character development starts slowly, but that is what makes this story so amazing. No one changes overnight. I love how Lisa includes other band mates and even brings back characters from sone of her previous series. This is an amazing romcom full of personal growth and steamy chemistry. If you are familiar with Lisa’s other rockstar romances you will love reading Driving Me Crazy. If you’re not familiar with her other books, this is a great place to start. You don’t have to read her other books first but it would be helpful to.
I received a advance copy of DrivingMe Crazy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine and were not influenced by the author or her promotional team.
I received an ARC for this book for an honest review.
I love Lisa Suzanne! Her work always makes me swoon, laugh, cry and feel all the amazing emotions that I can’t help but feel while I am reading. Driving Me Crazy is part of the MFB world and I absolutely adored everything about it.
Will, aka Rascal, is my favorite MFB member and I was so happy to know that his story was coming. I’ve been patiently waiting for his story and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Will is everything I thought he would be and more! And the dynamic between him and Amber is legitimate fire!
This fun standalone romantic comedy had all the great aspects that I have come to love from Lisa Suzanne. There was passion, angst, witty banter, drama, and most of all… the happy ending that you want them to find.
I won’t give anything away because this is a new release but just know that if you love Lisa Suzanne, you’ll LOVE Driving Me Crazy. From the very beginning, Rascal and Amber will have you invested in them and all of the twists and turns that they take as they work their relationship. You will be there through every single motion, rooting for them, cheering for them, and wanting the best for them.
MFB is definitely My Favorite Band and I hope you love them just as much as I do! While each book is a standalone, they are all interconnected so go back and read Take My Heart and work your way through the other band members stories.
Now that being said… I can’t wait for Kane’s STORY!
Five stars for this fun romantic comedy that will have you so invested in them and their story that when you reach the end, you want to go back and re-read it again and again!
If you know me, then you know that I LOVE ROCK STAR BOOKS! And for me personally, no one does hot rock stars with hearts of gold quite like Lisa Suzanne does. Her writing always grabs me and makes me want to ignore my responsibilities and pretend that I too am in love with a rock star. Driving Me Crazy was super fun, steamy, hilarious and 100% enjoyable!
Together Racal and Amber were steamy and sexy. They had an undeniable chemistry that was HOT. I loved the sex and the connection they shared. It was OH SO GOOD! They are two very strong minded individuals though and Amber is sure that a relationship with him is definitely not in the cards for her. He is her complete opposite and after his brush with the law, everything that she needs to stay away from. But Rascal falls for her pretty hard and after she breaks his heart, he is determined to make her life hell. But despite everything that he puts her through, she still sees the guy that she was falling for and soon realizes that she made a mistake. But will Rascal take her back after her change of heart?
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. I enjoyed it immensely from start to finish. I loved the alternating point of views. There’s nothing better than getting into both the characters heads and getting a good feel for them. I loved the little surprises along the way that kept me guessing what would happen next. I absolutely loved everything about this book! I am always in awe of Lisa’s talent and how her stories always bring me such pleasure. If you’re looking for something fun, sexy and just plain delicious, this book is a GREAT CHOICE! 5 stars for Rascal, Amber and Driving Me Crazy!
Rascal!! I have been waiting for his story And WOW!! What an epic road trip! Lisa had me cracking up but also hoping they would find their way back! I laughed, I cried and I swooned! Lisa has sure proven she knows how to write, especially rockstar romance!!
Will (Rascal) was a prankster, the comic relief of the group but he was getting tired of that role. When the bands tour finally wrapped up he had a much needed break. He decided to hit the open road with his girl by his side. He hoped the change of pace and scenery would help him find answers. But a breakup took his dream road trip from magical to the road trip from hell!!
Amber was done, she wanted things that Will wasn’t ready for and a drunken night with the guys was the last straw. Unfortunately, she was contractually obligated to tag along on the road trip and pretend they were in love. Talk about a nightmare! He only stopped when he wanted and used all the info he had on the things she hated against her!
Would they end up killing each other or would they find a way to get past their differences?
What a blast! I loved that Will was trying to stay true to himself but also be the person he knew Amber needed. The two of them were perfect for each other!! Can’t wait to continue reading about the boys of MFB with Kane’s story!!
