Here comes trouble…
Etta Green kissed Everson, Texas, goodbye years ago. A big city chef, she intends to return only long enough to settle her beloved grandmother’s estate and then hightail it back to Chicago. But Grammy Hazel had other plans. In her will, she left Etta part-ownership of a B&B that’s about to go bankrupt before it even opens. And what’s worse–Etta’s partner is Donny Joe Ledbetter, a handsome devil with some serious bad boy charm. Growing up, Donny Joe didn’t give Etta a second glance. Now, she’s got his whole attention.
A far cry from the shy bookworm he once knew, sexy, spirited Etta Green is nothing but trouble. Yet Donny Joe decides to play nice. After all, the quicker they open the B&B, the faster this exasperating–and irresistible–woman will be on her way. Donny Joe has never been a one-woman kind of man. But one crazy little moment of unforgettable desire may change his mind–if he can convince Etta to stay for good…

This book sounds delightful for the summer. I sent many unique and special lovely cards to my soulmate which took place way before e-mail.
I am captivated with this sweet story. I made delectable meals for love which were enticing.
Perhaps not too crazy, but I did create a CD of songs that described our relationship and gave it to him one Christmas. He was working out of state at the time and we were only getting to see each other every 3 months – we did this for almost 6 years.
i love the sound of this book and a great read for the summer.
thanks for this feature which interests me greatly. I invited him home for meals and family gatherings.
This sounds like a really fun novel and I’m hoping that Etta and Donny can find a good relationship. Looking forward to reading “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
The things I have done for the love of my husband of 46 years are endless. We laugh together, play together and the lines of communication are always open. He is my heart.
Will tweet and share on Facebook.
Sounds like a fun hot summer read. The characters sound delightful and so does the story. I would love to read this one. Thanks for having this giveaway.
Haven't don't anything crazy
Arranging a surprise party that included out of state relatves and friends. Arranging a date that everyone could agree on was the biggest headache, but it was worth it.
I think the craziest thing I did was marry him.
Can't really think of any thing crazy I've done! I would love to read this one, it sounds really great. Thanks for the chance.
I married my husband two months after we met. We have now been married 31 years. I guess it was “meant to be”.
I think marrying him was a crazy thing to do for love.
