Call Me Crazy

By: Melanie Harlow

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Samantha Brentmoor

Length: 9 hrs and 28 mins

Publisher's Summary

It was the perfect plan.
I needed a wife - temporarily - in order to inherit the family business.
And she needed a favor - the kind that takes nine months to deliver. 

We had it all worked out, from the no-touching policy on our wedding night (her rule) to the no-falling-in-love decree (mine). She’d marry me, I’d give her the means to have the baby she’d always wanted, and one year later we’d amicably part ways with no hassle, no demands, and certainly no regrets. 

After all, Bianca DeRossi and I are experts at infuriating one another - we’ve been doing it since we were kids. Trouble is, she grew up gorgeous and feisty, and she still knows exactly how to get under my skin. 

And that wedding night? Well, it doesn’t exactly go down hands-free. 

Then she moves in with me, and I really start to lose my mind. From her sexy little pout to her wicked sense of humor to those meatball sandwiches she makes just because she knows they’re my favorite...I find myself wanting to break every rule we put in place. 

Our story was never supposed to end with happily ever after. 
But call me crazy, I just might be in love with my wife.

⭐️ A FIVE STAR FAKE-FOREVER DELICIOUS ROMANCE ⭐️

This was so enjoyable, I went back and bought the previous book in this series set in Bellamy Creek because Melanie Harlow’s small town feel was great. Her characters had charm and loveable hearts and Enzo and Bianca’s journey to a happily ever after was filled with everything I love in a slow-burn ’fake’ relationship and the anticipation of it backfiring was gleefully appreciated by me.

It was just a business deal between enemies.. a stringless single piece of paper held the rules to a mutually beneficial fake marriage.. and oh how they laughed over how clever they’d both been. They didn’t want marriage, Hell look at their parents marriages.. Bianca wanted a baby and Enzo wanted to fulfill his father’s demands so he could get the family business. Anyway, he was very happy with his ego, his panty-melting smoulder, his fit body and his devastating good looks which got him action any and all the time. But what happens when fake becomes familiar? When ease and laughter lights up your life?. When the sex is the best you’ve ever had? When you get feelings you’ve never had before? When chemistry, passion and romance fills the air? And, when you can’t wait to come home to ‘your person’? Well, because they had blurred then crossed the line, because they had broken all their well-defined absolutely-never-ever-going-to-happen rules one by glorious one.. and, because “don’t fall in love with me” was the most important one of them all.. someone had to shatter everything.

Worth a credit? A very entertaining, light, heartwarming, slow-sizzle with humor, passion and heart and I loved every minute of it. The dual POV storyline was skilfully brought to life by Teddy and Samantha and their narration made this story flow, they brought the feels, the fireworks and the friction and they created a very rewarding five star listen.

Super Fun Enemies To Lovers Romance!

After having his marriage proposal turned down by his girlfriend, Enzo needs to find someone to marry so he can inherit his family’s company. Bianca wants a baby and agrees to marry Enzo so they can both get what they want, they come up with rules and an agreement to keep things simple, what could go wrong...

I loved the enemies to lovers element to this fake relationship romance, Enzo and Bianca’s story is so much fun, it is full of banter, hilarious moments and pushy family members.

I absolutely loved Enzo, he was such an awesome character he really made this book for me, Enzo’s mother was another one of my favorite characters, she was so much fun.

I really liked Bianca in the first half of this book she was very relatable but also strong and witty but then in the last half of the book her character got depressed and then went back on everything she agreed upon at the start of the book, it was quite frustrating how she handled her relationship issues with Enzo.

I felt really bad for Enzo when everyone was ganging up on him blaming him for the relationship problems with Bianca when she was just as much to blame if not more to blame for not communicating with him.

Overall I loved this book and Enzo & Bianca story was fantastic even with the relationship drama.

The narration for Call Me Crazy was brilliant, Teddy Hamilton was awesome as Enzo and Samantha Brentmoor was a great choice for Bianca.

Hilarious, Heartfelt, and Steamy Romance!

I absolutely loved everything about this amazing story! This is definitely one of my all time favorite books, and I want to give it way more than 5 stars! I was completely captivated from word one of Enzo and Bianca's funny, poignant, and passionate story. Enzo and Bianca have known each other since they were kids. They were total opposites with Enzo having that smolder that made him popular and Bianca being a sweet, shy, book nerd. They knew how to get under each other's skin and that wasn't always a bad thing. When Enzo and Bianco become desperate for something they both want, they realize that if they had a fake marriage, they could help each other out. When they start to spend time together they see a different side to each other and even tho the rules state clearly not to fall in love with each other, the heart wants what it wants. But what happens when the contract has an end date, will they be able to let each other go, breaking both their hearts? I fell so completely in love with Enzo and Bianca and their fun and fiery love story. Enzo is cocky, but behind his sexy smolder is an honorable, protective, loyal man. He sometimes lets his overinflated ego get the best of him but Bianca is too smart, and sassy to let him get away with it, and it's her moxie that makes him want her even more. He totally had me swooning when he wanted to please her. They are so perfect together, having fun, working together, both being close to their families, and their chemistry is explosive! My heart ached for Bianca and Enzo at some moments and then laughed, cried with tears of joy, and swooned in others. I loved all their family and friends who are all essential in this story, and seeing them meddle, banter, love, and support each other.
I really just devoured this story, it was so addicting. It was so easy to fall for all these characters and their lives with all it's complications, joy, heartbreak, and passion. I loved all the authentic emotions Harlow makes me feel and the epilogue was so absolutely perfect I didn't want it to end!

Teddy Hamilton, and Samantha Brentmoor were so perfectly cast as Enzo and Bianca. Their flawless performances make these characters come alive so clearly, perfectly expressing all of their different emotions. Hamilton was amazing as the cocky, sweet Enzo who needed a road map one minute and expertly made Bianco swoon the next. His deliveries were so wonderfully hilarious and heartfelt. Brentmoor gave the fiery, bold Bianca a softness and vulnerability that was very beautiful. I was completely mesmerized by their storytelling making this romance even more captivating and pure audio gold!

💕I LOVED IT. 💕

Call Me Crazy is a hot mess. Maybe that's why I loved it so much. Harlow has a way of using ironic humor to get under the skin and get into your heart. Enzo and Bianca are a powder keg of drama waiting to explode. At first introduction their chemistry sparks a flame that only gets stronger with ever interaction. Fire and ice quickly becomes an addiction that continues to grow. Add in the genius that is Teddy Hamilton and the sassiness of Samantha Brentmoor and the heart trip keeps getting better. There's always a fun time between the pages of a Melanie Harlow book.

Enzo and Bianca

Loved this book! Enzo and Bianca are perfect for each other. She may fall for the Moretti smolder but she certainly does not feed into it. I would have liked to see a little more of the sexual tension/hate that we saw in the other Bellamy Creek books, in this book but it certainly did not disappoint. Enzo's father has convinced him he will not inherit his construction business without being married and Bianca wants a baby, she just needs a donor. The perfect plan is devised with lots of rules, including not consummating the marriage but having a baby completely clinically. Their rules go out the window once they spend their wedding night in the honeymoon suite and town and the sexual tension explodes. They decide to try the old fashioned way for 3 months except after 2, they both realize there are more feelings involved than are in the rules. Can they ultimately admit they are perfect together before its too late? What a fun book!!!

Love this enemies to lovers romance 😍

This is the 3rd book in the Bellamy Creek series which can be read as standalones but I totally recommend reading them all!
Omg!! I just knew Enzo and Bianca were gonna end up hooking up in the end!! In the previous books there’s just been so much tension and bickering between the two! I love a good enemies to lovers so I was so excited to get their story and Melanie doesn’t disappoint!
After Enzo gets shot down after proposing to his current girlfriend, Bianca steps in making him an offer he can’t refuse- he get a marriage to keep his family business and she gets a baby; and they go their separate ways after a year with feelings involved! Only things don’t always go as planned!!
Loved the sexy banter between these two!! The chemistry was on fire! This book was everything!! It was so sexy and sweet!! I absolutely loved the way it ended!!
The narrators did such an amazing job!! 5+stars all the way!!

Mediocre Hallmark Movie

It started out okay but soon turned into a very long story about nothing ( a book like this takes me a day to get through this one took me almost two weeks I had to stop go stop go it was really really aggravated. There were some heartwarming moments but honestly I feel it’s not worth the credit. I did not enjoy the useless dialogue and ridiculous drama that never made sense. The narrators were good but they didn’t make the story better. I love Teddy Hamilton I own most of his book, Samantha Brentmoor was new for me, She did a great job

I felt when I was 20% in to the audiobook I knew what was going to happen and it was like a mediocre hallmark movie. It's sad to say don't buy every cute book cover this one was a no for me.

I enjoyed this story, I just get frustrated

she promised that she would be honest but she left instead. This drives me crazy.

I loved it until the end

First let me say the plot was not anything new but I enjoyed the light fun read. The chemistry was good & the narrators never disappoint.

Spoilers: I enjoyed it up until after 2 months of trying for a baby that the heroine knew was going to be difficult to conceive, she decides to give up & move home. At that point, I sped up narration to get through all the childishness. I still enjoyed it but I docked the story a star for it.

This book gave me life

Call Me Crazy is the first book that I have read by this author. I loved it and can’t wait to read more of her books. As it turned out, Call Me Crazy is book 3 in the series, Bellamy Creek, but it read as a standalone. This book was about Enzo and Bianca. The characters from the other books in this series made appearances and now I can’t wait to read/hear about them. I am getting the rest of the series on audible now.

This is my favorite book that I have listened to in a couple months, or in the last 18 books. But if I am just considering the romance genre, it has been about twice that long and twice as many books ago. I really enjoyed the writing. It was humorous and witty and flowed really well. The characters were well rounded and developed, and I was quickly invested in them and their outcome. Call Me Crazy has one of my favorite tropes, fake relationships. I don’t know why, but I can’t get enough of this type of storyline, especially when it is as well executed as this one.

This book in written in dual POV for Enzo and Bianca and is read by two narrators. Both narrators were great. I especially enjoy Teddy Hamilton’s narration.

I absolutely recommend this book and I will likely listen to it again as well.

A must listen

That was quite the ride. It starts fun with a lot of playful–or hateful?–banter between Enzo and Bianca. It becomes hot as hell, the sparks between them starting a fire that’ll melt your e-reader. And then, the drama. It made me cry. Don’t worry, there’s still an HEA.

It’s a marriage of convenience story with all the expected moments–the negociation, the family meeting, the awkward wedding… And, of course, the falling for each other. There’s a little bit of domesticity here, and I loved it. It was a very well done enemies to lovers. I could see the changes, how they discover each other instead of relying on old memories and prejudices.

There’s a handful of colorful side characters who come from the first book in the series, and though I hadn’t read them, I wasn’t confused at all–you learn just what you need about them.

The narrators were perfect! They bring life to the characters, especially Enzo and Bianca. They express their anger, their passion and their emotions with talent. You’ll laugh and cry with them. A must listen.

"Enzo and I are not a love story. Period."

Call Me Crazy is the third book in Melanie Harlow's Bellamy Creek series and is Enzo and Bianca's story.
Enzo needs a wife, plain and simple, anyone will do, he's not too picky as long as they'll marry him and he'll get to take over the family business.
Bianca wants a baby, she doesn't like the idea of a stranger being her baby's father, so long as she knows the guy and he's willing to help her, she doesn't mind who.
Which is how Enzo and Bianca enter a marriage of convenience, which will end when they both get what they want. But with any business arrangement there is rules.
Rules are meant to be broken...right?
As Bianca and Enzo grow closer and feelings grow what will happen with their "fake" marriage?
Find out if breaking the rules will show Enzo and Bianca what was in front of them all along or will entering this marriage of convenience cause more hurt than good, and what happens when the reasons they entered this agreement doesn't matter anymore.
I loved this book! Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor couldn't of been a better fit for Enzo and Bianca they made the characters even better!
I received an arc of Call Me Crazy and I am voluntarily leaving my review.

More Bellamy Creek goodness!

Enzo needs a wife. Bianca wants a baby. One drunken night and someone else's engagement ring later, and a plan is made. A marriage of convenience.

I love this trope, and Melanie Harlow executed it so well! I love this whole Bellamy Creek world, and its people, showing up, messing around, and finally we get Enzo. Darling Enzo, never wanting to get attached, but can Bianca, the one who always pulled on his strings, bring it out in him? Maaaybe.

Their banter was awesome from the start. At times, their drama and what kept them apart dragged a bit, but it was still thoroughly entertaining, and the ending was great.

Teddy Hamilton is my fave, always. Samantha Brentmoor was new to me, but a fabulous narration, that pulled me into the story.
4.5 stars

Pure perfection! Love this group!!

Wow, I’m shaken over Bianca’s plight. She has a problem that so many women in the world deal with and seriously struggle with the mental abuse it creates on our psyche. I, myself have struggled with the same issue she faces so when she started to doubt everything, I could understand her fears, both the real and the irrational that were brought on by crazed hormones. So, I get her ups and downs. What really pulled me in and wrapped its claws around my heart is the amazingness that is Enzo. Lord have mercy, thank goodness I could only imagine his smolder because everything else about his was just off the charts! I was left with one question at the end… what happened with JJ and his annoying girlfriend?!?!?!

I found myself fully immersed into this story. Plus, getting some glimpses of the previous couples is a real treat and if I had to guess, I can see Mrs. Harlow lining up her next couple during this book! I’m looking forward to it!

What amazing narration though! Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor, they are just a fabulous combination. I think after so long we all know and love Mr. Hamilton’s narration. His skill set is superb. Now, Samantha Brentmoor, she’s quickly making herself one of my favorite female narrators, right up there with Andi Arndt and Emma Wilder. She’s able to really give the females emotions. Bianca had a lot of emotional ups and downs and I feel Brentmoor did a perfect job.

Call me in love with the story

I really loved this new listen. Melanie Harlow wrote a perfect story . Well written story the description has you right in the story. Hero is Enzo. Heroine is Bianca. Both Enzo and Bianca have known each other since they were young kids . They like to poke at each other . they are also very well drawn to each other deep down inside but they hide it from themselves and the world which makes them totally believable.
Enzo needs to get married for his father to sign over the company to him. Bianca would love to become a mother but for Heath issues it won’t be easy . They both decide to get married but with rules till they go their separate ways. One rule is to not fall in love . Grab it and see do they follow the rules . Do they deceive the family with their play acting. Or does it become real .

The performance of Samantha and Teddy was fantastic . They brought the characters to life. They drew you into the story.

4.5 Stars

This story was really good. And super Hot! My only complaint is that Samantha Brentmoor’s man voice was just off point and I think took away from the story some. Teddy Hamilton was great!
I still would recommend this book.
