Publisher's summary

When a psychic tells Natalie Nixon her life is about to be upended by a mysterious stranger, she laughs it off. After all, she has everything she's ever wanted - a successful bakery, the perfect boyfriend, and the keys to her dream house. Who could possibly make her want to throw all that away?

Then Miles Haas comes back to town. But he's no stranger - they've known each other since high school. Plus he's around only for the summer, he's still a shameless playboy, and he makes a living writing articles for a men's magazine with titles like "Should You Bang the Boss' Daughter? A Flowchart" and "Butt Stuff for Beginners: A Field Guide".

Except he makes her laugh like no one else, smells like heaven, and wears those panty-melting glasses. But he's not the man of her dreams, and she's not about to abandon everything she's worked so hard for just for a little fun. She's not that crazy...or is she?

Critic reviews

" Some Sort of Crazy is five stars." (Helena Hunting, author of Pucked)

Love this Series!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Funny and serious at times, this book is nice continuation of this series. The narration was well done, bringing the characters to life. Can't wait too long to listen to the next story...

Psychic know much . . . you just have to listen

Natalie was in a no where relationship. She was trapped by the possible but not seeing the reality of it all. Miles was that friend she always had a laugh with. That one person that she could totally be herself. Natalie gains her independence and find that some friendships can be so much more and then some. Miles have been crazy for the same girl most of his life but was not sure how to go about letting her know this. Listening to these two go round the wheel was an entertaining experience. There were a few laughs, a few tears, and even some oh my moments.

Narrators Nelson and Lucy gave focus to these two and their differences and situations as they arrived. Audio was clean, clear, and handled speed change very well.

Natalie and Miles

Natalie and Miles are chidhood friends. Miles has always had an attraction for Nat and vice versa, but Nat is with the dickwad Dan. Until.....

Crazy For These Characters!

Another good book in this series! With well done narration, the series comes to life on audio. Each separate couple brings their own story with its quirks and sweetness. By the end, the characters feel like family. Caution: begin with book one of the series!

Miles is an idiot

For a majority of the book all I could think was Miles is an idiot...

GREAT SERIES!

Any additional comments?

This is book 2 of 3. It's a stand alone but goes beautifully with the other 2 in the series. The story is so cute and funny. I read the books before listening to the audio books. Hearing the stories made them even more charming.The narration is also very good. It's definitely worth a credit. Listen to all 3 for a nice treat.

IT'S FUN, HOT, ADDICTIVE & A SWEET LOVE STORY

This is a really enjoyable light friends to lovers story - Natalie and Miles grew up together, have shared so many memories and, as adults, realize the other's strengths and flaws. Natalie is loving, determined, single-minded and successful, she's got her own Bakery, owns her own house and has had one boyfriend for the last ten years.... but she's hoping that he'll be popping the question real soon. Deep down Natalie knows things aren't right between them but she thinks it will change..... well it does but not in the way she was thinking because her best friend Miles comes back into her life just when she needs him most.

Miles is a handsome, funny, no strings Playboy who writes blogs all about his many and varied sexcapades and, although he's always fantasized about Natalie, he's never done anything about it because she wants the whole marriage, white picket fence, love and babies life and he's just exactly where he wants to be - carefree, loving life and with definitely no commitments. But when Natalie needs cheering up he's there to help and it's not long before the sexual chemistry that's been simmering between them for years dramatically boils over.... and the outcome is a sexfest that neither one was expecting.... but both thoroughly enjoyed. However, Miles can't see himself changing even though he loves Natalie and Natalie doesn't want to change Miles even though she loves him too - sentiments that neither one shared with the other.... but then the impossible happens that changes everything.

This was such a fun listen and very very sexy too as these two lovers enjoyed dirty talking, witty banter and a close bond that only they were destined to destroy. It was light, didn't have a lot of angst and was slightly predictable but even that didn't spoil this charming and oh so addictive listen. They were soul-mates and perfect for each other but both of them had to bend a little before either of them could see it. There was romance, lots and lots of sex with a bit of lighthearted bondage/spanking and tender times too as these two childhood friends finally turned their relationship into a loving lifelong commitment with a sweet HEA. Loveable main characters, two close loving Sisters and the update of Skylar and Sebastian's wedding (book 1). Told from both POV's, the narration was really good and this could easily be a standalone listen.... but book 1 is equally as good too.

Worth a credit? A contemporary feel good romance that I grinned my way through and left me with a smile on my face... so YES, IMO, a very creditworthy listen.

Great story

Love this pair, and their feelings toward each other. Miles had it bad, since he was not the relationship type. Talk about playing the field and writing about his knowledge of sexual pleasures. Natalie had her bad share with a dead dud Dan. Glad she finally smelled the coffee. Both Natalie and Miles over came the obstacles that could have extinguish their HEA.

Another hit from Melanie Harlow!

What made the experience of listening to Some Sort of Crazy the most enjoyable?

Great writing... not perfect characters, but very likeable.

What other book might you compare Some Sort of Crazy to and why?

The others in this series... all very enjoyable and romantic without being sappy and stupid.

Fun!!

Loving this series. Lighthearted but still interesting and well written. Can't wait to jump into the next one.
