Cute story about finding love and the SBX world. Since I know literally nothing about competitive snowboard cross, this was a new world for me. It was a cute story.

Great read. Fast paced. Well written. Strong characters.

Luke has come home from college with plans to train and compete in Snowboard Cross. There he meets Charlotte who is working at a local Aspen cafe her best friend's family owns.

It isn't the best time for either of them to start a relationship with his training and her studying to take the MCAT.

I really liked that both Luke and Charlotte have goals and dreams that are important to them outside of their friendship and possible romance. It made them more relatable and well-rounded characters.

The plot is well paced and I enjoyed learning about Snowboard Cross. The secondary characters add some humor and sweet moments to the story too.

This was a very cute winter read. I really liked Luke and Charlotte together. I didn't read the first book Luke was in and I wasn't lost and I didn't have any real spoilers for the first book. The romance was very cute in a fluffy way and there were definitely some sparks and chemistry going on. This was definitely a new adult book, not a young adult but I think Ms. Kendra did a good job writing her first new adult book and I'd definietly recommend this one and look forward to reading more. It didn't take me long to read at all.

This was definitely a five star read.

This was a sweet young adult romance about Charlotte who has come to Aspen to study for her MCAT exam - yes, of course, that’s where people choose to study - and Luke who has dropped out of college to pursue a place on the national snowboarding cross team.

They fall for each other pretty quickly with only a few bumps in the road. The real bumps come as Luke speeds down the mountain in races while a jerky competitor tries to take him out. I had never watched a snowboarding race before and had to go to youtube to check out what a race looks like. Now I’m hooked and waiting for the winter Olympics. So if you’re a fan of the sport or a newbie like me, you’ll enjoy the action. Too many sports romances just use the sport as a reason to have a muscular guy and don’t include much from the actual sport. It’s nice to read a book that goes into the training involved as well as takes us down the mountain while they’re competing. The romance was sweet also.

I was given a free ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

A cute winter read. Crazy Love takes you into a world of competitive snowboard cross. I love this one. I couldn't put it down once i got started. Luke and Charlotte seem to have instant chemistry. They maybe some what different him the extreme daredevil athlete and her the med student but they just click so well. I love how they are with their families. Kendra C. Highley did a fabulous job with this one. As first time read I can't wait to dig into more of her books. I'm also kind of hoping for more Charlotte, Luke, Kit and Evangeline. If you are looking for a some what quick winter read then this is one to check out.
