Crazy Good

De: Rachel Robinson

Narrado por: Marc Bachmann, Shirl Rae

Navy SEAL Maverick Hart has everything. Women want him. Grown men idolize him. The job, the glory - it's all his. Not because it's handed to him but because he works hard for it. The second his sights lock on something, he owns it - or destroys it. Windsor Forbes only takes calculated risks in her profession and in her personal life. After being left at the altar by the only person she's ever loved, the very last thing she's looking for is a relationship - especially the insane brand an arrogant Navy SEAL is offering. Hesitant yet trusting to a fault, she gives in. She knew she shouldn't take the chance, especially a second time, but love is irrational and their love is perfect, infallible - or so she thought. The downfall to having everything is that you have that much more to lose. A man like Maverick can't have it all without something slipping out of grasp.

Loved it Loved it Loved it ..........

Where does Crazy Good rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Honestly this has to be one of the best audiobooks I've listened to this year.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and was worth all the lost sleep.

Any additional comments?

I really loved this book. I think some of the book wasn't detailed enough but in saying that I really liked the story. The way that Stone died was horrible but it shows how people can be affected by war.

Crazy Good is right!

Any additional comments?

Rated 4.75 stars
Oh boy where do I start. This book took me a while to get into fully. There was nothing really drawing me back to the book other than I don't like to leave a book unfinished. This book had all the ingredients that I love in a book, a hot cocky tattooed man with a large penis, a sassy heroine and great chemistry. But to be honest the male voicer kept throwing me off. I just couldn't get his voice to match with my vision of "Maverick". It wasn't until about the half way point when, I got more engrossed in the story that I just ignored the mismatch and from there it was heaven. I smiled, I laughed, I cried!!! Yes I sobbed like a baby and had to go to the bathroom to hide from my family. Lol
This was a crazy good book but I have to deduct because of the male voicer and it taking me so long to get into it.
(Side note: he is not a bad voicer just didn't seem right for the role of my Mav)

Such a Good book!

I can't wait to read the others in the series. I absolutely loved it, Loved the happy ending!!!

Crazy Good, is!

This story had a nice flow to it, arrogant, cocky Seal, meets his match and falls hard. This story has angst, but it is not contrived and there are no silly misunderstanding. Just honest emotions. I had to Google Rachel Robinson to see if this was the first in a series and it is, but another book is in the works for the Morganna character and I can't wait. But don't worry this is a completed story with a HEA. Buy or credit you'll enjoy this one.

Liked the story but

How cringy is it when the female narrator (who did an excellent job) sounds more masculine when reading the male characters than the male narrator? The male narrator sounded feminine and ruined the tough guy Seal characters. It was just icky.

Crazy Good

Rachel Robinson is a new to me author and I’m kicking myself for not reading her sooner.

This story started with a WTF moment and ended with the most perfect happily ever after. Mav and Win were passionate and their love story was beautiful. I laughed and cried and cheered for the HEA.

I wasn’t a fan of the male narration as I didn’t think it fit with Maverick’s character. But I did enjoy the book nonetheless. I can’t wait to see what is next in store for these characters.

Navy Seal Meets CPA

Maverick is a Navy SEAL who loves a challenge. Tattooed, muscular, sexy as sin – women throw themselves at him and he’s used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Windsor Forbes so that he can move on to the next one. However, she’s different – she doesn’t fall for his smooth lines and sexy smile. Which makes her much more than a notch on his bed post – she becomes someone he wants to figure out and get to know.

Windsor is a no-nonsense CPA who analyzes risks and liabilities and makes informed, logical decisions. After being jilted by her fiancé after she found out about his cheating ass, she is lacking in her love life. When she meets Maverick all her internal alarms scream “STAY AWAY” but her body wants him. So after his clever persistence, she agrees to go out with him. Thus begins a sweet love story with freaking hot Navy SEAL sex scenes. Excuse me while I go fan myself.

I liked these two. I enjoyed seeing their relationship grow from something physical to something so much more. It was like I got to experience them going through all their relationship milestones – first date, first kiss, first time getting some sexy time, first fight – to their life together as a couple. It was sweet and made me smile.

What I liked most about this book was that it surprised me. From Chapter 1, I never knew what to expect and was continually left not knowing what the author was going to throw my way. I think this is what made me unable to put this book down until I saw how it ended.

This story felt long – it is not some instant romance that takes place over a month or two. The entire storyline spans over a year (not counting the Epilogue). I did feel like the book was a bit too long though. Plot points and scenes were dragged out a bit and I felt like some scenes were fluff and unnecessary to forwarding the plot.

I normally do not read books about men in the military. There really is no reason – for me it’s just that I don’t like reading about a fictionalized version about what our troops go through when they are deployed. However, I made an exception for this book. And as much as I enjoyed this book I did have a hard time reading some of the scenes where Maverick is in Afghanistan. They were sad and heart breaking and bit too much for me to read – but that is just my personal issue. The scenes were written very well and don’t let my personal feelings cloud yours.

Now I need to talk about the last 30% of the book. I had a love-hate relationship with them. This is where all the angst was. My heart went back and forth like a ping pong ball between Maverick and Windsor. They were both completely right, yet both completely wrong. They both made stupid decisions, yet they both tried to redeem themselves. I was frustrated with them both, yet proud of them. All in all these two evened each other out and by the end I was perfectly content with how things ended up.
The Narrators:
I don't see the point in dual narrators unless the male and female narrators read the male and female parts of the story. Having said that Marc Bachmann , Shirl Rae did a good job with the delivery of the story.
Worth a credit, yes! this was a good story with just a few issues.

Good listen!

Male narrator had a creepy voice. Would have liked his character better with someone else. Didn't think I would like it when I first started listening.

Kinda shallow and not for me

It was decently written but just not really my taste. The mmc was a bit shallow but I don’t think it was the writing, I think the character’s personality was just not my fav. The smut was pretty good but it really didn’t hold my attention.

Spicy and Emotional Navy SEAL Romance

𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐲 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 is the first book in the Crazy Good series by Rachel Robinson, featuring a Navy SEAL romance that has been re-released with a fresh new look after 10 years. Windsor wasn’t looking for a relationship, since she was still reeling from being left at the altar by her ex. She definitely wasn’t ready to be knocked off kilter by Maverick Hart and all his playboy swagger, or his single-minded determination when he decided to really set his sights on her. Will secrets and tragedy ruin their chance at real love?

As a lover of military romance, I was happy to dive into this one. The end of that first chapter was a doozy, and had me stunned and needing more! I was almost disappointed when the next chapter jumped back to the beginning of their story!😅 I enjoyed the character development, even when I got frustrated with Windsor and Maverick at times. The story had great banter, amazing band of brothers camaraderie, and the raw and gritty authenticity of the emotion had me in tears more than once. I must say the spicy chemistry between Win and Maverick off the charts hot, even during deployment!🥵🫠 There was some drama, twists, and heartache, but I enjoyed their journey of love, grief, and forgiveness. The epilogue was beyond sweet, and I loved every word!😍 This was my first book by this author, and I am really intrigued by this “family,” and I look forward to reading the second story.

I did listen to audio version narrated by Marc Bachmann and Shirl Rae on Audible. To be honest, Ms. Rae did a good job portraying Windsor, Maverick, and the other characters, but the male narration just didn’t fit a military character at all. It felt too formal or proper, in my opinion.
