Jo Wilder is a tabloid photographer whose reluctance to exploit celebrity lives may lead to her unemployment if she doesn’t develop a tougher skin. When a much-needed celebrity sighting is interrupted by a bystander, Jo tries to be angry but he is far too handsome and charming for her to hold her ire. When she later learns he is the Micah Sinclair, the current bad boy of rock, she wants to kick herself for yet once again missing the shot. But soon Micah is stalking her, wanting a different kind of exclusive. Jo has heard the rumors that Sinclair is a media junkie who chases publicity and fears she is the one being used but can’t resist the chemistry between them. As she and Micah grow closer, she discovers that fame carries its own problems when she suddenly finds herself on the other side of the lens.

When I first picked this story up, I had no idea that it was the 2nd book in loosely arranged series. No worries though, Marlowe offers enough background to make this a comfortable standalone read. I adored the premise of this story; a reluctant paparazza meets and falls in love with a notorious rock musician. The story opens with an entertaining meet cute. Our heroine is chasing down a money shot when she is camera-blocked by a very good looking man. Some flirty dialogue and amusing initial misunderstanding set the stage for what looked to be a fun and sexy rom com.

Celebrities, tabloids, and trust are the base of this story. Marlowe asks through her heroine just how much of a celebrity’s life is the public entitled to? Getting the inside scoop on a gossip-fueled tabloid is interesting as we see the hustle, bustle, and the ethical issues that arise. Add in an uncertain romance and some internal angst and you have a winner. Or you should have. While the story starts out strong with an engaging bumbling heroine having a crisis of conscience, it’s energy gradually weans and the flow of the story becomes more choppy as Marlowe seems to have trouble maintaining the balance.

Jo Wilder is a photographer who works for a tabloid. Jo hates stalking celebs and is terrible at it but her need for health insurance trumps all. Meeting Micah Sinclair is both a blessing and a curse. His star power could make her career but she is uncomfortable with the thought of using him. A growing attraction between them also confuses her because she’s unsure if he wants Jo the woman or Jo the photographer.

Micah Sinclair is a flirty charismatic rockstar whose cult-like childhood more than prepared him for the rigors of fame. Thought to be a publicity chaser, Jo soon learns he is a genuine guy who befriends the press in hopes it helps to keep them off his equally famous but less tolerant sister, Eden, who is the heroine of book one. I liked Micah though it was hard to get a good handle on him because the story is told in the first person and every character in here orbits around Jo. Micah does everything possible to get through to Jo but her guilt over her job and her other insecurities set up wall after wall between them.

Jo had so much room to grow in the story but her indecisiveness, daddy issues, and victimhood weigh her down. She constantly needs saving in form or fashion. She takes one step forward and four steps back. She’s in her 30s but acts more in her early 20s and there is a lack of clarity and focus in her life. Low self-esteem and insecurity are magnified and excused throughout the book by her medical and abandonment issues. She blames her father for her lack of direction while subconsciously courting his approval. Her roommate plays the dual roles of keeper and best friend as he helps Jo keep her diabetes under control. While I understand type one diabetes is unbelievably hard to control, Jo seems almost willfully disobedient in her own self-care.

A personable secondary cast helps to add depth and contrast to the story. Eden, Micah’s sister, is a strong presence in the background that reminds every one of the intrusive nature of the press. Zion, Jo’s bestie, is a vibrant addition to the story and his small romance was quite potent in its development.

Lightweight and predictable, we know early on what is the end goal. Jo must learn to stick up for herself to her opportunist boss and walk her own path regardless of her father’s approval. While the romance is the main factor of the story, it also acts as the catalyst that forces Jo to make some major decisions concerning her life. As Jo and Micah explore their attraction, Jo struggles with her self-worth as she is catapulted into the spotlight.

While A Crazy Kind of Love fails to deliver all it promises, it’s a fast and easy read that requires no commitment.

Grade: C-

The story focuses on Josie who is a paparazza for an online gossip magazine. I liked that this was from a different perspective. I definitely haven’t read any books from the paparazza’s point-of-view.

This a romance novel. But it definitely feels a bit more hearty than just that. Or at least it did for me. I think that Josie’s story had a lot of depth. She definitely isn’t a one dimensional character. Sometimes in romance-y novels the tension feels forced, it does not in this case. The nature of Jo’s job (paparazza) and her romantic interest, Micah, who happens to be a celebrity feels natural and has inherent tension to it.

I didn’t know that this is the second in a series until after I finished the book. Obviously I didn’t read the previous book, and I don’t think I missed out. I definitely could follow along with the story. I don’t think you need to read the first one to enjoy this book. (Although I definitely want to go back and read the first one!)

I really enjoyed this book. I would totally recommend this if you are a looking for a romance-y read with a little depth. I am being purposefully vague on the details of the story because I don’t want to spoil it for you. The story is engaging and interesting. Although you kinda sorta know how it is going to end (as you do in a romance-y type story) it is a fun ride to the end of the story.

I rated this book 4/5 stars on Goodreads.

Full disclosure: I received this eARC from NetGalley for a fair and honest review. (Thanks NetGalley and Kensington Publishing!)

This was my first time reading a Mary Ann Marlowe book and I'm sorry to say it didn't wow me. The two leads were so unbelievably silly. The author tried so hard to make it all edgy with the whole paparazzi/rock star romance theme. Just did not cut it for me. For me, there just wasnt any chemistry between the two MCs. It didn't seem as real to me. I just didn't really get their relationship. They spent far too much time pussy-footing around each other, with Micah trying to show that he cares (and being absolutely over the top sweet) and Josie trying to hide her feelings (and her diabetes - what's up with that? It's not like it's contagious) from him. I also couldn't connect to Josie. I didn't hate her but I didn't really care for her either. They were both supposed to be over 30 but it read to me like a NA book. If it didn't specifically say they were 33 or 32 I'd thought they were 20 or something. Sigh. I really wanted to love this one, but it just fell flat.

Waaay at the start of this year, I reviewed Some Kind of Magic, starring scientist Eden and down-to-earth rockstar Adam. I was pretty excited when the author reached out and asked if I wanted to read the next book in the series. This time, the focus was on Eden’s musician brother and a photographer looking to make a name for herself. One of the minor niggles I had with the first book was that, despite showing a great relationship, it didn’t have quite enough sizzle for my tastes. I went into book two hoping that, given how much of a flirt Micah is, this book would hit the spot.

Our two leads are Jo, a photographer working to make it as a paparazza, and Micah, Eden’s brother and rockstar with a string of casual relationships. Micah showed how he was the less cynical of the two by not hesitating to try and get Jo’s attention. I liked that about him, but as someone who’s a lot more like Eden, I thought he was pretty naive. Yeah, sure, Jo turned out to be ok, but what if she was just out to get him? Anyway, I liked their chemistry, and there was some fun thrown in that I loved. That being said, I did find it all a little bit insta-lovey. And yeah, they acknowledge that it’s quick, but that didn’t stop me from getting a bit ehhhhhh about it.

I never thought I’d enjoy a story about a celebrity photographer, especially one who makes a living harassing people. But Jo won me over. Seeing her battle her sense of ethics allowed me to question where my boundaries are, and what I would be willing to do to reach my career goals. Add to that parental expectations, and she had a lot on her shoulders. Also, she’s half-Indian, which was a nice little bonus thrown in (though causing some problems for her). I’m not Indian so can’t speak for the rep, but I was pleased to see that an American Indian person was consulted for authenticity. On the other hand, I was a little disappointed with the cover design, as Jo was described as having darker skin and curly hair, and yet the cover features a white brunette with straight hair. Ohhhh and bonus points for her being diabetic!

Overall, I think I like this more than the first book in the series! And given that I enjoyed that, too, I would say this is a fairly safe bet if you’re looking for an adult contemporary romance without the stereotypical broken/brooding alpha male. (Neither Adam nor Micah is like that.) Plus, career-driven women for the win!

If you are looking for an adorable romance with a small side of drama, look no further! A Crazy Kind of Love delivered the perfect portions and combinations of drama, humor, swoon, and heat, and I must confess, it left me with a smile on my face and I will admit, a few happy tears in my eyes.

Who?
Micah a musician better was known for his romantic entanglements and media-whore ways, than for his songwriting and outstanding performances.

Jo a fledgling paparazza, with a lot of artistic talent, who was unable to see her subjects as prey, and therefore, not very good at her job.

What?
The two meet, serendipitously, while Jo was trying to capture a shot, with sparks flying immediately. As their interest in each other grew, so did the complications due to their respective "baggage" and Jo's career. Jo had to decide how long she could walk that fine line, with one foot in the media world and the other in Micah's.

Why?
This book started off in an adorably fun way, which immediately had me hooked. I found myself instantly captivated by Micah. He was sweet, doting, and quite amusing. I liked that he didn't take himself too seriously, but he also wanted to be a better version of himself for Jo. There were a lot of things to like about Jo too, but the biggest thing that kept me on her side, was her resistance to sell her soul for her job. This was not an easy thing for her, and she struggle with it throughout the story, therefore, I really loved the way Marlowe rewarded her for making that choice.

I also appreciated the personal issues Jo struggled with. There were some identity and "daddy" issues tied to her mixed heritage (white and Indian), but more prominent, were her health issues. Josie had type 1 diabetes, and there were many times in the story, where we saw how her daily life and her life choices were impacted by her disease.

Marlowe filled the story out with some great side characters, but the standout for me, was Zion. Could anyone ask for a better friend? I felt like with him in her corner, Jo could do anything. He encouraged her, listened to her, gave her advice, but he also took care of her, mentally and physically. Say it with me, #FriendshipGoals.

This book had all these things, but above all, it was a romance. This romance was dominated by the fun and sweet that I want to see, when watching two people fall in love, and was punctuated by lots of laughs and swoon. I am also a fan of the drama Marlowe brought to the story, because it was outside of the hero and heroine, and is the type of drama I prefer. It provides tension, without annoying melodrama.

And the ending! *Applause, Applause* My heart just about flipped over in my chest and some happy tears fell from my eyes. It was perfect! I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and will be promptly procuring Marlowe's previous book as I look forward to more wonderfully fluffy with a touch a substance romances from her.

Apparently this is the second in a rock star series. This reads like a stand-alone novel, but the couple from the first book is in this one too. I wish I had known. This is a fun, fluffy book about a tabloid photographer falling in love with a rock star, so of course it's lust/love at first sight with artificial obstacles placed in their way. There are holes in the story but a great depiction of what it's like to live with type 1 diabetes. If only we could all have hot rock gods tending to our every needs.

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington for the ARC and this honest, unbiased review.

A Crazy Kind of Love by Mary Ann Marlow is a super good contemporary tale. It was gooey and sweet. Heartache, trouble, and a whole ton of drama followed the protagonists everywhere. It was hard not to get sucked into this story. It found its way into my heart. I wanted to cry, laugh, and Hugh the female protagonist. She's a lot stronger than she thought she was. Josie is the heart of humanity in the paparazzi business. She's an excellent photographer who worked for the wrong business. Her boss Andy is a total jack***. His vulgar and meaning ways should have had him fired instantly. How he lasted as long as he did will always keep me guessing. Then, there's the heroine' best friend, Zion. He's bi. His heart is in the right place for his BFF, and he is everything a girl could want in a loyal friend. Zion took great care of Josie in every tight situation. I applaud his character. Last but not least, is the heart throb of this novel, Micah. A famous musician. Apparently, his sister has had a bad dealing with the boss that Josie worked for...and her mistrust of Josie is understandable. Yet somehow, the two women became friends. Micah trusted his gut in that Josie is a good person. Not once did he ever doubt her on a professional or on a personal level. He made my heart melt. The issue of Josie's pain between her and her father's lack of presence in her life hurt like hell. I felt so sorry for her. Overall, A Crazy Kind of Love is exactly right. A Crazy Kind Love that one never expected to happen...just might happen after all. I highly recommend this novel to all. 4.5-stars

I had heard very good things about Mary Ann Marlowe's debut novel, which was my primary reason for picking up A Crazy Kind of Love. I'm glad I did because this book was very cute, and enjoyable. I'm usually not one for romances that involve celebrities, but I found this one to be one of the better ones. A Crazy Kind of Love is the story of Jo, a young biracial (she's half-Indian) woman working as a paparazzo for a scummy tabloid, and Micah, a rockstar, with a bit of reputation. I thought both characters were very well-developed. I especially enjoyed Jo's character, despite her basically violating the privacy of celebs! She was genuine, sweet and very down-to-earth despite her career of choice. To top it off, she's someone who actually feels a lot of guilt for her role, so it wasn't hard to root for. I also liked how diabetes was treated in the book. I think this is the first time that I've read a romance novel with a Type 1 diabetic being featured, so this was refreshing, especially because the author takes her time to portray it realistically. I also found myself falling for Micah, though that took a little more time for me. The rumors surrounding him made it quite hard for me to trust him initially, but he's actually a misunderstood sweetheart, and he apologizes for the way he's been portrayed. He finds himself very much enamored by Jo, and isn't afraid to go after her to convince her that he can be the guy for her. The romance was super cute, and it had me smiling from ear to ear. Admittedly, most of the major misunderstanding in their relationship came from Jo being a papparazzo. It was very stressful at times for me, because she's forced to do things she's clearly uncomfortable with, but I also appreciated the raw honesty with which it was portrayed. All in all, I enjoyed this book quite a bit and I will certainly be checking out more from Mary Ann Marlowe.

A beautiful love story, with sparks, fun and sarcasm. Really light and lovely read.

Jo Wilder has had dreams of following in her famous photographer father's footsteps since she was a little girl. But like most professions you have to start at the bottom and work your way up to where you want to be. For Jo, this is being a photographer for a local tabloid. Chasing down celebrities and dishing on the latest gossip holds no interest whatsoever for Jo, but she needs the job. Said job is close to being in jeopardy when Jo's boss finds out she missed an opportunity to photograph / interview rock bad boy Micah Sinclair. How she missed it? Well, she was a little bit distracted by Micah himself and didn't realize exactly who it was she was talking to until it was too late.

Micah Sinclair is kind of an anomaly in the entertainment industry in that he likes talking to the paparazzi. So when he begins flirting with Jo, she doesn't know if he's actually interested in her or in the extra publicity that she garners by posting his pictures. Regardless, Jo finds herself falling for the bad boy and in doing so comes under scrutiny by the same people who read her paper looking for any kind of gossip on the famous.

This was a so-so read for me. On the one hand I really liked the way the relationship between celebrities and the paparazzi is showcased and the precarious line that Jo is straddling in being in both worlds. It's a very interesting look into the world of the tabloids. Mary Ann Marlowe does a great job in making the line between Jo as paparazzi and Micah's true motivations stand out. The twisting of pictures and / or quotes to make a story bigger than it might actually be. The inference that, for example, someone is scowling in a picture therefore they must be angry, but angry about what?

This actually leads into the other hand. On the other hand, I couldn't really wrap my head around Jo having any kind of talent for photography. Besides the fact that we're supposed to believe she's got talent because various characters throughout the story tell her that her pictures are good, if you just took her scenes by themselves I don't think you'd come to the same conclusion. She dislikes her job so much, and she has pretty much zero interest or knowledge in any celebrity whatsoever that I don't understand how she still has a job regardless that she's photography royalty apparently. I can definitely believe someone not being happy with their job, and based on the interactions between Jo and her boss, I can definitely see why she particularly hates her job, but I would think as a serious photographer she'd still be dedicated to getting the picture(s), but more than once, she remarks on how she missed this shot or that shot. Mind you, she's also in her early thirties. She's not someone who just got out of school and is just getting started. In fact, both Jo and Micah read really young to me which would be no problem if they were, in fact, younger. But they are both supposed to be in the 32-33 age range, and some of the naivete surrounding them caught me off guard. I feel like Jo shouldn't have been surprised by how certain events play out since, you know, she's in the tabloid business, but she's completely thrown. Again, another instance where you might not like your job, but you should still do your job (otherwise find something else), and if Jo had ever done her job properly she wouldn't have been so surprised down the line.

I thought, overall, it was a quick read, and pretty enjoyable despite the qualms I have. Apparently Mary Ann Marlowe's first book Some Kind of Magic deals with Micah's sister Eden and her fiancee Adam and how they got together. While this book is completely standalone, Eden and Adam stand out as secondary characters enough that I'd pick up their book to see where everything started. Jo's roommate Zion is also an interesting character and has his own interesting secondary romance in this book. I would actually very much enjoy it if Mary Ann Marlowe decided to give him and his significant other their own story as well.

I loved the first book in this series, so I was beyond excited to read Micah’s story.

Love love loved Josie and Micah. She’s sweet with a fantastic moral compass. He’s flirty and adorable. Together their banter is charming and sweet and and they have some fantastic chemistry. And of course it was awesome to see Eden and Adam.

Plot wise, it was good. The story is mostly all fluff and thankfully the conflict is an outside source. I was thrilled to see the open communication between Josie and Micah.

Overall, it was a super cute story with the most perfect ending and epilogue. I can’t wait to see what Mary Ann writes next.

**Huge thanks to Kensington Books for providing the arc free of charge**

This is a sweet, cute romance plain and simple! Jo is a paparazza making ends meet by stalking celebrities. She doesn't like the job, but she needs health insurance right? She'd much rather do up close and personal photography, but until that happens, she is forced to do a job she feels is unethical. When she struggles to get a good photo op, a bystander helps her out by giving her a boost on his shoulders. After, she learns Micah, her helper, is the front man of a very popular rock band.

Soon, Micah is scouting out for Jo in the endless sea of paparazzi! Jo doesn't know what to make of him. Is he just after additional publicity? Before you know it, Jo herself, is now the one being scooped! The stress of the notoriety, trying to figure out if Micah wants something from her, her boss pushing her for more scoops, and the unrelenting issue of being a diabetic is taking a toll on her. Can Micah and Jo find a happy medium where they can just be themselves in private??

I enjoyed this story! I thought the plot was original and it has an interesting viewpoint. I thought Jo and Micah were cute together and he seemed to really adore her. My problem? I didn't feel any real heat between them. I didn't feel their connection partly because I think Jo never really invested herself fully into the relationship until the very end. I understand her struggle with being a diabetic, as my sister is a type one too, and I have seen the effects first hand. Usually the pump adjusts that so the swings are less and less. I loved Micah from the start and he was all on charming with Jo. He truly wanted to care and protect her. Yes, he had reservations about dating a reporter, but he still jumped in with both feet! I give him kudos for it!

If rock stars are your thing, then I believe you would definitely enjoy this viewpoint on celebrities and the press!

3.5 Stars/2 Flames

I was gifted this book and chose to voluntarily review it. The review and ratings are solely my opinions.

Talk about meeting cute! Jo and Micah shouldn't be a couple, should they, what with her being a paparazzi and him being her subject but.......This is a nice, sweet rom-com with two good characters. The fact that Jo has Type I diabetes made her eve more real and relatable (and hopefully this will inform others about the disease). She's got her issues but she's also got a good heart and that's what shines through. Micah, he's a rock star but he's also a good guy. You know where this one is going but Marlowe has done a terrific job of writing a light, fun, enjoyable romance. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. Try this one.

Love, love, love everything about this book. Marlowe is incredibly talented. She could write the back of cereal boxes, and I'd be riveted. I don't even eat cereal! Can't wait to see what this author puts out next.

This book is the second in Mary Ann Marlowe’s rock star series. In it, we meet Micah, the brother of the heroine of book one (Eden). However, this book is narrated entirely from the point of view of the woman he falls for, a paparazza named Jo, so we see the developing relationship entirely through her eyes. The female-only POV was also a feature of the first book, but I believe it worked a bit better there. Since we’ve already met Micah in that book (though not spent a lot of time with him), I kind of wanted to know what he was thinking, unfiltered by Jo’s preconceptions and worries.

Jo also has a really good friend in her roommate Zion—and it’s a good thing, because she has Type 1 diabetes, which causes her to crash hard at several points in the narrative. I sometimes felt that everyone takes care of Jo—except her horrible boss at the tabloid where she works. This set up an unfortunately dependent dynamic with her, and while I liked the book overall, I found her frustrating at times.

That aside, this is a fast, fun read and a great follow-on to the first book.

I was given a free advance reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.

Loved it! This novel was exactly the type of book I needed to read right now - a fun rock star romance with some real substance to it. The chemistry between Josie and Micah is palpable and delicious, and I ate up every second both of them appeared on the same page. I thought the book's angle - a rock star falling in love with one of the paparazzi that hounds him - was clever and full of interesting dynamics. Marlowe makes the main character, Josie, so real and relatable that I found myself thinking, "Huh, this could totally happen in real life. And I'd love to see it!" I also appreciated that Josie has Type 1 Diabetes, and that Marlowe chronicled the intense effect the disease has on somebody's day-to-day existence. A close friend of mine has T1D, and the constant maintenance the disease demands isn't well understood by the general public, so I was glad to see a light shined on it.
I'm really looking forward to Marlowe's next novel - I loved her writing style and ability to create fully-fleshed out characters.

This book is simply a sweet and charming romance. I really enjoyed the authors debut novel so when I got a chance to read this one I jumped quickly! I didn't want to miss out. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed in the slightest and all the high expectations that I had for this one were met. Mary Ann Marlowe is a superb writer and brings about magical and lighthearted reads that many can enjoy (regardless of their preferred genre).

I highly recommend this one.

A Crazy Kind of Love, Mary Ann Marlowe

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:  Romance, Women's fiction. 

I loved Mary Ann's first book, and this one covers Eden's brother Micah, who we met in book one.
That book was such a treat to read, humour that wasn't forced, drama, real emotions and scenes I felt actually could play out in real life. I was really looking forward to this second book, and it was another terrific read. 

Poor Jo, curious family background that's left her feeling a little bit chip-on-the-shoulder about herself, and means she second guesses so much of what goes on around her. That comes over really well in this book where she's wondering does Micah want her for herself, or just her publicity contacts.
Micah is also a great lead, funny, kind, caring and so very open. He appears to court publicity but is it because he wants fame at any price, or as he says, if he doesn't hide anything there's no story. He's not sure if Jo wants to be with him for himself or to give her career a leg up.....poor confused couple, and as a reader its so easy to see how actions from both of them can be taken either way. 
Throw in Jo's best friend Zion ( loved him), her awful boss, Micah's sister Eden, Adam her fiancee and Micah's friend, and a few others and its a novel that's a real treat to read. Its one I'll definitely re-read and it may be time for a repeat look at Eden and Adam's story ;-) 

Its chic lit - but with that bit extra, a little seriousness that grounds the story at times, doesn't have the sheer silliness that has me eye rolling at so many of this genre.
Its a story for those of us who don't need every facet of humour force fed to us, who want to read and work out where the story is going ourselves.
It seems to be well-researched too as regards Diabetes type 1. I only know a little of that, more about type 2, but it was good to see someone with this condition having to work it into their daily lives, good to see just how frightening hypos can be for others. My late husband had one at around 2a.m. once, I thought he'd had a stroke, he got up, collapsed flat out and could only speak in slurs. Very very frightening, and I can see how others may think someone is drunk...Mary Ann brought that part to life really well.
I love it when an author takes care over little details like this. 

Stars: five, another fabulous read from a talented author. I look forward to more.
