I find so much enjoyment reading about this group of friends, employees/employers and family in Stolen Hearts Valley. This time it’s Boone and Grace who get their tale. They were high school and college sweethearts until Boone went to Colorado to visit his father. Grace suggested they take a break and see if they want to date others while they are apart for the summer/fall. Unfortunately, this leads to their downfall. So many misunderstandings keep them separated for years until it starts to come out what happened back when they were 20 years old. Their story developed nicely, and we were able to visit with past characters like Evie, Shay, Dani, Valentina, Skylar, and their significant others. Lots of drama, excitement, sexy times, and a bit of foolishness. The epilogue was delightful. I received an ARC and voluntarily left an honest review.
Still Go Crazy is a touching, heartwarming, second chance romance. The characters are wonderful and enjoyable It to read. I enjoyed Boone and Grace story. Its wonderful written. It has a delightful storyline.
I read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are of my own.
Grace and Boone were a great couple in high school – until he broke things off without explanation and left town. Since then, Grace has hardened her heart against that happening again. She has definite trust issues, and when Boone comes back home, she is adamant about avoiding him. It gets more difficult to do when he moves in next door! Boone is willing to fight for Grace and won’t give up seeking that second chance to show her how he feels. Will he convince her to try again? Can he make up for his poor handling of the break-up and regain her trust to give him a chance to make things right now?
This was a good story. The author, as always, is skillful at allowing the reader to experience the emotions of the characters and draws the reader in to really care for them. The story line is well-paced and sets the mood. Grab your copy and share their story of a second chance after a most painful break-up.
Still Go Crazy was a great story, the plot was strong, the story was written well. I enjoyed Boone and Grace’s story. Grace and Boone have a past, she’s still hurt from him breaking her heart. But no matter how much she didn’t want to be she was drawn to him, as much as he was drawn to her. The connection between them was strong and their chemistry was off the charts, sexy. Boone and Grace may have had a bumpy road but they were great together.
This was a great story. Thank you, J.H. Croix. Great work 🙂
I am so in love with this series!

“I voluntarily received this arc book from Bad Boy Update for an honest review”
The plot was well written and well planned and the characters were so likable and believable that Grace and Boone kept me totally engaged throughout the entire book!
What an amazing second chance romance! Grace and Boone were high school sweethearts until Boone broke Grace’s heart. Several years later, Boone is back in town and wants a second chance to fix his mistake.
You’ll love the steamy and sexy mixed with a lot of heart.
I received an ARC from the author. This is my honest review.
Boone and Grace have a complicated history all due some lies and misunderstandings. When they meet again years later they discover that the chemistry is still there but Grace is afraid to trust Boone again. Boone wants another chance with Grace but just needs to talk her into giving him one. No only do they have to work through their relationship issues but there are also a few of other challenges that will test their

This was a great second chance romance. You found yourself rooting for these two to overcome their problems and find their HEA. I have enjoyed all the Swoon stories and look farward to the next book.
I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Holy sweet and sexy! Boone and Grace were perfection! Nothing like a second chance to make up for past mistakes! The Swoon Series by J.H. Croix has lived up to its name; every book has made me swoon!! Still Go Crazy was the 5th book in the series, they can all be read as stand-alones but they are all interconnected.
Boone broke Grace’s heart when they were young. He wasn’t sure why he thought it was a good idea at the time and was ready to make it right. But would Grace give him the time of day?
Grace was doing a good job of avoiding Boone. Her heart still hadn’t quite healed and keeping him at a distance was working. That was until he became her neighbor. What would happen when Boone wanted to make things right but Grace wanted to avoid him? Could they come to an understanding?
Seriously! J.H. Croix knows how to make my heart happy!! And Wayne!! He stole my heart!
I love everything written by JH Croix. This book is no exception. She creates such realistic, fallible characters that you can’t help but care about them. She also likes to create an ensemble supporting cast of friends for the main characters in this book, Boone and Grace. Boone and Grace were a couple in high school. Then a family emergency happened for Boone, he left town, made a couple of bad decisions, gave up Grace, regretted everything, finally came back home, now wants Grace back. Grace was devastated when Boone gave her up. She was wary, even with Boone, after he left, she did not trust men at all. Then Boone came back and he wants another chance. Grace is confused and nervous about Boone! Does she still love him?

Dreamy second chance 4 ½ stars – Grace and Boone’s romance is a story of second chance, trust and unfading love. Even though there’s not a lot of details on Boone’s appearance, Grace’s reaction whenever she thinks of Boone or when he is near makes you swoon for Boone. Boone’s patient actions show a sweet, sincere, very much in love man. You can feel the chemistry between the two and the sex scenes are tasteful and steamy. The well-placed and realistic conflicts in the story were easily resolved. Love reading this author’s stories! [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
Boone and Grace’s story is another heartwarming book in this great series.
Both characters feel down to earth. Boone is this hot, tough and protective alpha male with a soft and lovable core who would do anything to convince his woman to give him a second chance after he messed up their relationship and broke it off without explanation a few years ago.
Grace has trust issues because of this hurtful break-up with him and other experiences in her past. She’s fighting with everything she has to keep her walls up and protect her wounded heart …
But Boone wouldn’t be Boone if he wasn’t willing to fight tooth and nail for his women to prove that he’s worthy of her trust now…
Mrs. Croix has a way of describing her characters and unfolding the plot, which always draws me in and fascinates me from the first page.
I love her caring and warm protagonists and their equally warm and cordial circle of friends, who offer a welcome break in a sometimes cold society in everyday life.
And I certainly can’t wait to read Jade and Walker’s story!
This was a very sweet, yet HOT, read. Boone & Grace get a second chance to make things work between them after a very big misunderstanding. Grace is naturally very guarded but can’t help but be drawn to Boone. I love this series and getting to know all of the crew. It’s a nice group of friends and work buddies. And the setting of the NC mountains is heaven. Great scenery in any season and lots to do. Can’t wait to read the next one in this series.

I love second chance love stories as they give you hope not to give up. If you are meant to be together, against all odds, you will be together. Another feel good story to dive into.
Another great book in this series.
A misunderstanding and lies that led to years of heartache for both Boone and Grace. Now that Boone is back Grace has done everything possible to avoid him because she is still hurt. Boone has given her space for a year since he came back but now is the time for him to tell her the truth of what happened all those years ago. Grace is suffering from debilitating migraines and they keep wanting to do more tests and are not telling her anything. Can Boone and Grace work through the pain from the past and make a go of things like Boone wants or will Grace tell him to get lost? Will Grace ever find out what is causing her migraines?
The scene with Grace’s migraine was so real. It made me remember the pain I used to get with my migraines
A Wonderful Romance .

Boone returned a year ago and Gracer e has been avoiding him ever since . Boone finds himself wanting to explain what happened to Grace and hopefully get her forgiveness . Boones wants a second chance . The second chance has a rough
start , but when Boone gets hurt during a rescue ,Grace realizes she still loves him .
This is a wonderful and delightful romance .
I highly recommend reading .
Grace and Boone were an item in high school but drifted apart when he moved out of town to be with his ailing father. They parted ways and lots of baggage developed. A fathers terminal illness, a pregnancy and a miscarriage, a baby that was not his and more drama than you can imagine. But eventually a second chance for true love. The chemistry between Grace and Boone was over the top and they were definitely drawn to each other. A sweet second chance romance but it did move a little slow for my taste, but over all a good read. . “I received the ARC from Bad Boy Update”
Grace and Boone were such a joy to read! As with the rest of the series, the characters are relatable and emotionally accessible. Boone may have messed up in the past, but he’s back for another shot and knows he has to tread lightly with Grace. She’s been burnt before and as much as her heart and body are on board with a second chance with Boone, Grace is skittish while bracing herself against additional pain. I love second-chance stories where the chemistry and the love that bonded two people together in the first place is raring to be unbound whenever distance is removed as an obstacle. The sweet, slow dance moving Grace and Boone back and forth towards each other had me gobbling up this book!

Boone and Grace’s story is that of a special love that comes along and never really goes away. Despite a painful breakup in college, they find their way back to each other. While Grace has a tough time trusting that Boone won’t hurt her again, all of their friends are behind them. The chemistry between them is off the charts and you just know it’s going to work out. With that being said, their story is one that you don’t want to see end. I’m such a fan of this series and all of J H Croix’s books!
