Customer Reviews
Enjoyed it
Really enjoying Stacey Lynn’s writing. I love how her characters are strong but fallible. Jonas is strong & he’s decided that after 2 yrs of friends with benefits he wants more from Caitlin. Caitlin has been put aside by everyone in her life since she was a child & expects it as an adult, she’s not looking for anything because she doesn’t think she deserves love. Jonas goes to extreme measures to get her attention using the same dating app that she’s using to test for her friend & boss Trey. I laughed & cried during this book because the dates Caitlin went on were hilarious at times & Jonas’s reaction & those of his bar employees was great. I’m looking forward to reading more. Definitely recommend. I received this book from Net Galley & voluntarily reviewed it.
Great Friends to Lovers
This was my first Stacey Lynn's book, and won't be my last! This is the third book in the Crazy Love Series, and I absolutely have to read the first books in this Series! This is a great friends to lovers story. Caitlin and Jonas's story is sweet and beautifully written. Jonas is so handsome! The supporting characters are also very interesting. I love the friendship in this story. I enjoyed reading this story, and I'm looking forward for more books written by Stacey Lynn.
3 1/2 Stars
Caitlin and Jonas have had a friends with benefits relationship for 2 years and when Jonas says he wants "more" ... Caitlin says no and breaks it off with him completely. Six months down the road when Caitlin is trying a new dating app for her friend, Jonas takes this as his chance to win her over for good.
Although the premise of this book is good, I found that I just couldn't get into it. I liked the charpacters well enough, I just thought that the book could have been more by detailing more of her "28" dates ... which we only heard about 3 or 4. But I really like that it was a flip of gender with Caitlin being the one that was a commitment phoebe and Jonas wanting "more". It was a good read, but I liked the last book in the series "Knocked Up" better.
I received an early copy courtesy of Random House-Loveswept through NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
