I never intended to pick up a naked hitchhiker wearing nothing but a guitar. A guitar. Really. I don’t collect guys like that (don’t ask what kind of guys I do collect), but when you spot a blonde, tanned, sculpted man with a gorgeous smile and his thumb poking up and practically begging you to stop—you stop.And I definitely never thought I’d be staring into the bright blue eyes of Trevor Connor, … Trevor Connor, the lead singer for Random Acts of Crazy, an indie rock star I followed like the slobbering fileshare fangirl I am. How he came to be nude and lost six hundred miles from home is quite the tale, but how we fell in love is even more unreal.
Because someone like Trevor Connor, headed to Harvard Law next year, isn’t supposed to want someone like me, a rural Ohio chick majoring in Boredom at Convenience Store University who is all curves and frizzy blonde hair and manners so unpolished they have sharp edges that make you bleed.
But he did.
When his best friend, Joe Ross, the bass player for Random Acts of Crazy and a man who makes Calvin Klein models look like Shrek, drove eleven hours through the night to rescue him, though, it got real complicated. It’s one thing to like two different guys and be torn.
What do you do, though, when maybe—just maybe—you don’t have to choose?

Random Acts of Crazy (a New York Times and USA Today bestseller) is a standalone, full-length novel (300+ pages, 85,000 words) featuring Darla Jo Jennings. It has, like many new adult novels, an exploration of identity for the three main characters, doesn’t shy away from mature content, and Darla has a sailor’s mouth.
Be warned. Be ready. But most of all — prepare to be random. 😉

enjoyed reading!
Looooved this one! This is the first romance I’ve ever read where the heroine, confined by family obligation and lack of $$, is making the best of life in a trailer park. The first-person narration really works in this story. The opening scenario is over-the-top bananas in the best possible way: Darla finds her favorite indie rock star on the side …
The story line is ridiculously funny. I love to laugh, I love Romance books, and I love fiction. When I can find a book that has an overabundance of all three, I’m in heaven.
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a laugh and a good read for entertainment value only.
A fun, quirky and crazy good read!
Love the Rockstar books. This is the first of the series, love them.
Just a great read.
This is a fun read with solid characters and a compelling, though a bit preposterous, plot. Recommended for fans of the genre.
Started off with picking up a naked hitch hiker and never slowed down, I liked that Darla was not timid about sex and talked about many of her adventures. Not sure what good boyfriend material Trevor will be if he continues taking so many drugs but hope it goes well in the other books and can’t wait to hear more about Ross and the other band …
Unique story of being strong in who you are.
Not my usual “cup of tea,” but I read the entire book. Two different worlds collide. It was sad in some ways, but interesting to see the drug culture in others. More for the younger ages, I think.
The characters were a little too crazy for me
So, I don’t know how, but somehow I got all the books in this series for free. I think the author had some special in her newsletter or something. But I started the series and I loved this one! It was so wacky and funny and steamy. At times there were things about Darla that I totally connected with. And honestly, the story was a little bit risque …
Great starter for a series I love
This book was a little off the wall for me, but the title doesn’t hide that! Darla is a down on her luck small town girl who has dreams and is going to get to them one day. Until she meets Trevor in the most unique way. Things snowball and get crazier, until Trevor’s friend Joe shows up. Great writing, you will laugh out loud and wonder what you …
I really enjoyed other work by this author (Her Do-Over series is a whole lot of funny) but this sadly missed the mark. It wasn’t the content, I’ve read menage/threesome stories before, and it wasn’t the comedy even if all the jokes didn’t land. It just felt very…clunky. And I did not like Trevor at all. He seemed so up himself for so long and …
Steamy. Hot. She’s a great example of a heroine. Strong, independent, confident female. Loved her HEA!
I kind of don’t even know what to say about this book. I kind of loved it, but at the same time, there were some things that left me scratching my head. Let me start by saying that I adore what Julia Kent does. She has a flair for romantic comedy that leaves me gasping for breath and my sides aching. This book is super funny. There’s lots of …
Love the author, love the series and want more…more …more!!
Loved this book and all the books in the series. I hope there are more to come.
Kent’s books are always entertaining and unusual. I like her work. Certainly not like any other author I have found. Her characters are unusual, but believable.
