Publisher's Summary

Sophie

I’m an intelligent and independent woman with a fantastic career. My personal life is perfect. No attachments or commitments. I know firsthand there is no such thing as “happily ever after”, and I’m okay with that. I love everything about men - their broad shoulders, bulging biceps, and chiseled jawlines. I love when they come and especially when they go. I’m living my best life.

At least I thought I was until the day a six-foot, green-eyed buffoon who wouldn’t take no for an answer knocked on my door needing a place to stay. Doug Truman is an unwanted entity that I’m forced to endure. But as hard as I try to tolerate his antics, he still drives me crazy in more ways than one.

Doug

What woman wouldn’t want me? Sophie Cipriano that’s who. I don’t get it. I’m hot, funny, and can charm the clothes off anyone. Tons of naked chicks have said so. I would gladly supply names and numbers if I could remember any of them. I’m not a jerk. I’m just forgetful. Except when it comes to Sophie. Sure her lips call me every horrible name in the book, but her eyes light up with fire whenever we’re near each other. Sophie’s utter loathing of me only makes her more desirable. All I need is one night to get her out of my system.

When we became roommates, I knew she wouldn’t be able to resist me for long. But little did I know I wouldn’t be able to resist falling in love.

Umm no

Okay this book is really funny!! However, it is almost impossible to get over how absolutely stupid the male character is. I'm all about some characters being oblivious but this one is just way over the top. It isn't even that he is oblivious that is the problem it is just bad how bad they made him. Ugh

Awful!

DNF. I made it to the last 56 mins and gave up. I wanted something light to listen to, but come on! These were two educated individuals in their early 30's who acted like children. Honestly, it's been a long time that I disliked both main characters. I liked Doug a tad bit more than Sophia, but they both were fairly awful. When she punched him in the face- I threw in the towel. The narrators were wonderful and did a great job!

It gets better as the story goes along

This one I struggled with and wanted to shut off numerous times. I think its because I didnt like Doug. He seems immature..making crude comments and seems to be only after one thing. We see him again five years later and now he is 32. He still seems written like a young twentysomething. We do get to know him more simply because he moves in with Sophie. I did really like him by the end of the story. Sophie is as shocked as I am…because he seems to grow on her.

This does take a turn once they go camping. We get to see the whole group throughout the story but here is where they shine. I laughed more than once at Doug during that trip.

I did listen to this on audio. Kelli Trager and Quentin Hudsbeth both do a good job.

only ok for me

I just couldn't get into this book. I don't think there was anything wrong with it. it was cute, but lacked something I can't put my finger on. I didn't like the narrators opposite gender voices. hers was worse than his, but they both were distracting. the male mc is kind of a dufus. I don't have a clear idea of what they even look like. maybe that's the issue with my connection to this book. and the goofy things that happen during the sex scenes aren't endearing or sexy, they are mood killers.

Crazy Sexy Love

I enjoyed this story a lot. It actually made me laugh out loud a few times. Doug's craziness is totally relatable. The narrator's did a great job. Definitely worth your time!

Soooo good!

Sophie and Doug have known each other for 5 years. They have the same friends, and though attracted to each other, have a love/hate relationship. At least Sophie does. Doug has been trying to get with her for years! Now stuck with his apartment in disrepair, he needs a place to stay and what better place than Sophie's? Roommates? Will it work? Witty banter, palpable chemistry, and situations that will leave you laughing out loud, the story flows. The sexual tension is so thick, and the continual foreplay just adds to the fun. I was laughing, and rooting for these two from the start! Yes, there were frustrating times, but we all need a little craziness to get to the sexy love! Alison G Bailey has a winner on her hands with this romcom.

Kelli Tager and Quentin Hudspeth are an amazing team! I enjoyed their banter with these two characters and found their chemistry perfect for this listen. Tager is wonderful, giving that dismissive attitude to Sophie as she talks to Doug. Hudspeth is charming as Doug, and his voice emulates all the emotion he has for Sophie. The two have incredible comedic timing and had me smiling all the way through. It's a must listen!

My Thoughts on Crazy Sexy Love

This was a really funny story. Even funnier than I was expecting. And that was the thing that really stood for me was the humor. There was heat and some softer moments too that I liked. The main and secondary characters were all likable. But the leading man had moments were he put his foot in his mouth a little too far, and the leading lady had moments I wanted to shake some sense into her. But I enjoyed listening to the story. The narrators in particular were excellent. Kelli Tager I've come to like more with ever new title I hear her in. She brought a great energy to Sophie. And Quentin Hudspeth was new but quite enjoyable as Doug. I wouldn't mind trying him out in another Rom-Com especially.

Great story 👏

would love to read a sequel to this book! Doug is my favorite character.

voices

ugh women sounding like men in a sexy voice. oh so bad it ruined the book for me

Eh…

I liked the overall story idea. A woman is stuck in her past and is allowing it to control how she views relationships and how she views herself. Enter a man that can see through all her bs to the woman behind all the attitude and snark. The problem I had is that behind all the snark and attitude wasn’t a particularly appealing woman. Sophie was too hard and cold to me. She was so impersonal that it was hard for me to get attached to this character. I felt like her penchant for hitting people Doug in particular made it hard for me to see them as a couple. When the story came to a close I envisioned her leaving Doug years later in pretty much the same way her mother left her dad. The author did too good a job at painting a picture of a self absorbed woman to allow for the reader to see anything else in Sophie. If more time had been taken to show her more vulnerable side this might have helped to make her a more sympathetic character. Doug came off as a foolish man hanging onto an image he had of Sophie instead of the real woman because the woman he was seeing we never got a chance to really see.

A sweet story

The story was a little bit different, and I liked the twist on it, and the attitude, especially men and women’s attitude to the same thing. Really good.

giggle worthy

I knew what I was getting with this rom com book, and it delivered, what I didn't expect wad the humour, witty and fun, really did make me lol !!!

Funny

I had several good laughs. I have enjoyed this book so very much! Relaxing 🙂

Nice story & lovely listen

🎧 AUDIO REVIEW 🎧

🌟🌟🌟

It was a nice story to listen to. Enjoyed the to and throw that came up. Was a funny story to listen too.

Easy listen

Performers were really nice. Dough role and dialogues were really sweet. A bit of a stretch to show confident girl persona but not too hard to digest.

why is the voice so odd

the woman's impression of a man's voice was very odd and it just made all the men sound really ridiculous

laugh out loud

absolutely loved this book. characters had me laughing at every chapter. would reccomend this to those that like a good romance, and laugh

Funny and cute but …

Started out very funny and cute but by the end I thought Doug was a saint and I just wanted to throw Sophie down a well. I loved this story until halfway in and then I thought how screwed up do you have to be to accept being continually insulted before you walk away from the person you’re in love with who has so many issues (but seriously, divorced parents is sooo commonplace) that they’re not going to love you back? Kelli Tager made all the men’s voices sound like they were morons or slurring drunks and was mostly sarky and cruel as Sophie. Doug’s only crime was being a clumsy well intentioned guy who said funny and hilariously inappropriate things. Miss Touchy didn’t deserve him. Still, if you like persistent guy with bitchy girl who has some kind of a heart somewhere in her ribcage, then you’ll like this. It’s very well written and very entertaining. Nice and fluffy and steamy as well.

Great listen

Very sweet listen. Enjoyed the character development! Never heard these narrators or author and they were all great!

Haphazard storyline

I had to go back a few times thinking the audiofile skipped parts but it was the story.
The cutesy/awkwardness during the scenes that should have been sexy did not work for me
