Bestselling author Lisa Suzanne’s newest standalone romantic comedy features rock stars, an older brother’s best friend, and a road trip that will change their lives.
If opposites attract, my brother’s best friend and I are perfect for each other.
I’m a balanced, ambitious ER nurse. He’s the immature guy in a successful band who’s basically along for this ride called life.
Everything’s going … ride called life.
Everything’s going great between us until the night he makes a stupid mistake that changes everything. When I can’t see a future with him, I end it.
But the two of us are contractually obligated to go on a road trip across the country, and since his reality show will be filming us, we have to act like we’re a couple.
He blasts music I can’t stand, stops at strange roadside attractions, and chooses my least favorite restaurants. Despite all that, I still see the sides of him that I was starting to fall in love with.
Can we find our way back to each other, or will he just keep driving me crazy?

4.5 Sweet ~ Sexy Stars!
Lisa Suzanne knows how to write a rockstar that is down to earth and relatable. This one checks all the boxes; Brothers Bandmate, Opposites Attract, 2nd Chance, Best Friends, Rom Com. Rascal and Amber just fit, their relationship was fun and sexy and it felt “real”. There is so much more to Will and his goofy persona, he really was a GREAT person who thought of others before himself.
So excited for this book! Driving Me Crazy was amazing. I laughed and swooned. I snorted and heated up. The rock star and our beloved nurse know how to turn up the passion. But this story is so much more.
Lisa Suzanne will always bring her characters to life with some turmoil. They are not perfect, but they are meant to be where she has them. The grow and flourish. It is what has me coming back for more!
This book was such an amazing read that I couldn’t get enough. Amber and Will are great people apart and together they’re even better. Amber and Will had to take time to get used to each other and they had that time. I loved the adventures they had and how they overcame so many things. They were their for each other from start to finish. I received a free copy from the author and reviewed voluntarily.
I loved and hated the start of the road trip, but I have to say, that Will redeemed himself, and hugely at that. He started out an immature rock star who had just had his heart crushed by the woman he loves. She started out a weary road trip partner, who just broke his heart and quickly learned that Will was going to be a petty, immature child about everything….or so she thought. The chemistry between them is too strong to fight for long, and they end up in each others arms. The story had lots of ups and downs and at first I was annoyed with how he was acting, but then….I wasn’t. No spoilers from me. It is a great book with interesting twists and turns. Read to find out if they will reconcile and rekindle their love, or will it be over forever.
Driving Me Crazy by Lisa Suzanne, is yet another hit for me from this amazing author. Each book she releases just gets better and better. It can make me laugh, cry, yell in anger or encouragement and just about every emotion in between. She doesn’t hold her punches when it comes to getting her characters to where they need to be.
Rascal is a member of MFB, but he’s not ‘feeling’ it at the moment, and Amber is dedicated to her job as an ER nurse but still wants that something extra in her life. They end up on a road trip and OMG, talk about passion, angst, and some hot chemistry. I loved these two and had a great time reading their story.
Love, life and the open road- what more do they need?
Ah Rascal, how much do I love thee…let me count the ways. True to form, Rascal (aka Will), is a prankster and immature. It’s hard to tell if he is 20 something or 10. But that’s what makes the fun of watching him finally grow so much better. Amber wants something solid. She doesn’t think she can have that with Rascal. I mean come on? Really? But she sees something, something he doesn’t show everyone else. Is he still childish? Sure, but is there really something wrong with that? Will is learning that in order to love and be loved, he has to give more of himself, show more of himself, BE more of himself. And Amber? She needs to feel like her life has been more too. They have incredible chemistry and their drive was completely fun to me (including some local places that had me smiling widely). I wanted to ask the question as to what happened with his hair but yay! I found out lol. Bravo…a wonderful rockstar, rom-com.
I’ve been waiting for this book and it was everything I wanted. I love Will so freaking much. Will is a member of MFB. If you’ve read Lisa Suzanne, you might have met a couple of the other members of the band before. You don’t have to read any other books prior to this one, but Waking Up Married is the one that definitely gets me intrigued for Rascal and Amber’s story.
Will’s nickname is Rascal, he’s a bit of a wildcard, he’s the fun loving guy that’s maybe just a tad immature. Amber is Adam’s (another member of MFB) sister. They have a hookup in Vegas and continue to develop a relationship from there. She sees things in him that others don’t and he starts to develop real feelings for her as their fun relationship progresses.
I completely adore Will. I love when he’s playful, I love when he’s learning how to grow up. I mean… is he immature? for sure, but you know that going in, and he’s really trying. I have to honestly say that I was mad at Amber when she breaks up with him. I didn’t want to go along with her reasons and I was 1000% on team Will. But, anyway, I’m rambling…
In this book, we see Will and Amber embark on a road trip in the midst of their breakup. It’s awkward, it’s maddening, but it’s also fun and sweet. Seeing them finally start to understand each other more and more in the course of the road trip is definitely worth all the pain we are put through in the beginning.
Overall this is a lighter and fun read. They definitely have their serious moments, but a lot more of it is them having snowball fights and fighting over country music. I loved watching them make up and create a real foundation for what a true relationship for them would look like. I am in love with Will and can’t wait to see what comes next from MFB.
Road Trip!!!
As the keyboardist for MFB, Will was last seen hooking up with his bandmate, Adam’s, sister. Will was the most immature of the band but Amber was hoping there was more behind the guy she was falling for…that is until his immaturity took over and he got arrested. To exacerbate this situation Will and Amber had just signed a contract to do this road trip with the reality show their band had. Since the contract couldn’t be broken they were heading across country in a vehicle that wasn’t big enough for these two.
I loved the humor in this book along with the steam that seemed to always be there with them even when they weren’t getting along. They were both hurt but that underlying feeling of a future burned underneath. Thanks to Ms. Suzanne for taking me on a ride with Will and Amber I won’t soon forget.
Rockstar Rascal and ER nurse Amber are total opposites and they embark on an epic road trip together. This is a beautifully written story which is fun, entertaining and humorous, and I was totally enthralled throughout this addictive page turner. I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all readers.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure about this one going into it. BUT, I was wrong! All wrong. Although the book started a little slow for me, it turned out to be a great story, and I couldn’t put it down at the half way point!
Lisa Suzanne has several rock bands and this book follows Rascal from MFB (aka Will Rascowicz). This is the story of Will and Amber’s wild ride to their HEA that takes place all across the US! So, sit down and get comfortable – Their story is full of love and laughter while they figure out how to live life to its fullest!
A complete standalone Rom Com and told in a dual POV. I’m especially excited about the hints left about other MFB members!! Can’t wait to see what’s in store!?!
4.5
This is the first book that I’ve read by this author and omg it was hilarious. If you are looking for a book that will cheer you up then this is that book. I must say I really enjoyed reading this book and seeing how this played out. I really like this author writing style and this title and cover is awesome.
Amber is an ER nurse, she has a very balanced life and knows exactly where she wants to go but she also feels like something is missing and also with her relationship she thinks its going kind of stale especially after she cant see a future with him she wants to call it a day,
Will is the cute, hot star who is also quite childish himself, but he is really running on empty himself feeling like he’s nearly on burnout and in desperate need of a break.
Amber and Will go on road trip and try and have to pretend to still be together because of the contract that they had previously signed they have to honor there obligations.
Will (Rascal) was looking forward to taking a road trip but his plans changed when he had a breakup and he thought that was it then. Only is it really?
They both wanted different things in life and they both thought that they were both going in separate directions only a twist of a fate made them both have to spend time together and put on there pretend gloves. They both have to pretend, pretend pretend that they are still in a relationship especially because they will be getting filmed for the reality show. But he is getting more and more on gets nerves with his music and restaurants that she cant stand, is he doing this on purpose? At first she isn’t sure. However she is starting to realize why she actually fell for him in the first place?
( NO SPOILERS ).
I really enjoyed reading this book and I was hooked right from the beginning. I think its always fantastic when an author can make you feel while reading their books and that id absolutely what this author does.
These two characters are so good that you cant help but love them, you cant take your eyes of them and you are desperate to see where the end up especially with the feelings between each other and how there journey plays out. You will laugh out loud at everything that these two go through on there road trip and some parts will also have your heart aching inside out.
He tried to be what she needed and that was beautiful to see and he turned out to be a really good guy who I really liked. They both have an obscene amount of chemistry and there are parts that are very steamy, steam, steam and will he really drive her crazy, totally ?
This author knows how to bring love and humor to this story and you cant help but laugh. This author has really brought these characters to life and you literally go along with them both for the ride. They seem like actual real people and when an author writes characters so good like this its absolute fantastic.
This book knows how to make you feel and also to make you feel good.
I will defiantly recommend this book to everyone when it gets released and I will look out for this author works in the future.
ARC provided in exchange for an honest review,
Thank you to the author and publishers for allowing me to read and early copy of this book.
This book is expected to be released 27th March 2020.
One Road Trip coming up!
Talk about a book where the characters take the reader along for the ride! This is it! And what an up and down ride it is.
The storyline is fascinating, and the characters are solid and well thought out. Each playing an important role. Even the supporting characters are right on target to enhance the plot.
This was a one-sitting read for me. I couldn’t put the book down if I tried. Lost a little sleep, but it was worth it.
What a trip!! Buckle up this is Romcom at its best!! Hold on to your emotions, and get ready to laugh, so worth the ride!! The release of “Driving Me Crazy” is absolutely perfect, when we are all in need of a good laugh right now. Lisa Suzanne has delivered just that and so much more with this opposites attract rockin’ romance. You won’t want to miss the beginning of these two in “Waking Up Married” where it all began. Thank you for another fantastic read Lisa you never disappoint!!
Don’t miss this wild and crazy ride!
Rascal/Will & Amber have been friends for years and are totally hilarious together…be careful with food and drink while reading, you might snort it out your nose from laughing so hard!! Not kidding. This couple are opposites for sure but strangely attracted to each other like you would NOT believe. Unless of course you read the previous book, Waking Up Married..then you’ll know exactly what I mean! Can silliness be sexy??? Apparently it can!!!
Amber and Rascal had a crazy, steaming hot and unexpected adventure in Vegas that could melt chocolate all by itself. Rascal couldn’t act on his secret crush way back when but now, all bets are off as he’s realizing that Amber might just be the perfect woman for him. As it turns into more, the fear of commitment is there…both of them are feeling it.
Rascal has been classified by his bandmates for the last 10 years as the goofy, immature keyboard player in MFB, always the yes- man who ends up ‘taking one for the team’. He’s getting so tired of being the one who has to compromise what’s important to him for the good of the band. Rascal’s nickname certainly fit him perfectly and his wildly inventive pranks may be legendary but it’s the real Will who thinks it’s getting tiresome to keep up this facade anymore.
As things continue to heat up between them, Will and Amber agree to a cross country road trip, possibly from hell at this point- the doubting, responsible, worn out ER nurse and the angry manchild who wants nothing more than to offer sweet torment to the woman that stole his heart.
News at 11- this perfect blend of a crazy-funny romcom and a serious romance will give you every single feel you could possibly imagine and then more on top of that! I’m always in awe of Lisa Suzanne’s words and stories that leave me sighing with pleasure one minute, laughing my butt off the next and often shedding a few tears along the way until those endings that tie your heart in knots. You can’t help but love every moment of Driving Me Crazy and what a way to spend a few hours it turned out to be! Will and Amber make quite a loveable but unlikely pair and I couldn’t recommend reading their story more- fun, super steamy and VERY entertaining, with lots of unexpected plotlines to keep you guessing.
An advanced copy was kindly provided by the author in exchange for this honest review.
This without a doubt is one of the best Rockstar Rom Coms i have read. It also came with a huge added bonus of it being the third book and one of my favourite characters in this series!!
Amber and Will are total opposites, he’s the joker of the band, she’s a serious minded girl and an Er Nurse, but since hooking up in Vegas they have somewhat been together ish!!! Neither wanting a relationship or commitments. After contractually signing up to do a road trip, Amber realises that she and Will are no where near being on the same page, she wants the home with the picket fence and kids, he … doesn’t so she breaks off their Non Relationship. Both are at a crossroads in their life .. But the road trip has to go on problem is will they both take the same route !!!
Lol is all i can say, never has it been so true that opposites attract and Lisa Suzanne has made a perfect job of it !! Their chemistry was off the charts, their banter had me in stitches and the lengths they go to pull each others chains kept me glued to the pages for what antic’s would come next. Even with all this the author combined the deeper side to each of their characters and the emotional anguish was perfectly blended and made it all feel realistic and easy to fall in love with both characters!!
But will it all end in tears or will Love conquer??
Seriously? You need to take this Rock Stars Road trip, it won’t be one you forget !!!
After Waking Up Married, I really needed to know what was happening with Will & Amber. I enjoyed their road trip & nods to places & attractions in those areas. I felt for both of them on their trip & could feel the sadness & tension in every word read. This was definitely a book about maturing & seeing good in your partner through their faults.
I have been waiting for Rascal’s book since the MFB series started. He is known as the immature, goofy keyboard player in MFB and you just want to root for him.
Amber’s brother Adam is also in MFB with Rascal and she had a crush on him while she was younger. You get a glimpse of both in Waking Up Married so I highly suggest reading this book first.
Amber and Rascal embark on a cross country trip to follow up on a big secret in her family. They both have different expectations for their trip and the results are life changing for both.
Lisa does a wonderful job yet again!
Driving Me Crazy is the latest book in the world of MFB. We finally have Amber and Will’s story after meeting them in Waking Up Married, and what a story from Lisa Suzanne. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know each and every band member of MFB but Will’s story is probably the best yet. Will or Rascal is the jokester in the band, so does he have what it takes to fall in love and find the girl? Amber, is Adam’s (Will’s band mate) sister and falls for Will but can she accept who Will is? This is a very fast paced read that takes us across the country and delivers the fun and happy times along with the angsty tough times from both Will and Amber. I now want to go on my own road trip across the country. I can’t wait for what comes next.
Rate: 4.2 / 5 stars
Lisa Suzanne can do no wrong with her rockstars. Every book she gives us is always so entertaining, I immediately get lost in the story and completely invested in her characters and these two were fantastic!
Rascal and Amber were total opposites that somehow fit like two puzzle pieces. Amber saw it, fought it and then spent some time trying to get it back. Their roadtrip was rocky and after so many downs and fights that were so darn entertaining and just plain fun, they made a game plan. No matter how they felt towards each other, they had signed a contract and had to act like a couple for the cameras.
Their story hit me right in the feels, it was a touch angsty at first, super cute and sexy and I just loved watching these two having fun, hating each other and then admiting they were in love after some contemplation and paying attention to each other.
If you love rockstar romances or roadtrip books, this book is for you! It combines both things in an awesome and enjoyable way. It’s a different kind of rockstar romance than your typical one and so so good!
Once again, Lisa has me anxious for the next book with that bonus epilogue! Darn, that was emotional and I’m legit so curious about what will happen with those two, it kind of feels like they could totally work or totally not. I’m hoping they do though.
So cute!
Rascal Rascowicz is exactly who you expect- a rascal. Yeah, he’s the keyboardist for the hottest band, MFB. But he’s also a good practical joker: drunken bets, screaming fangirls in the band’s dressing room an hour before a performance, men’s parts drawn on-
Let’s not go there.
But one thing is for certain – he is in love with Amber Wilson. Yet one night and a whole lot of drinks result in a breakup between the two, leaving Rascal in heartache and confusion.
Amber can’t fall in love with a guy who doesn’t know how to do his own laundry, doesn’t know his limits, and certainly not what he wants in life. She needs someone who is dependable and reliable- not a guy who drunk dials her. Not a guy who gets his personal life blown up in the media. But she needs Rascal, because she can’t go to Maine alone to face her family’s secret past, and a letter that may change her life forever.
But after the breakup, spending a month on the road together with Rascal? That’s the last thing she wants to do. It’s borderline insanity.
It sure as heck will drive them both crazy. But will it drive them together or apart forever?
