It was such a sweet novel!
I liked how the story began sweet and funny and loved the male POV throughout. Alec's POV grounds the novel and makes it so much better, which is hard to achieve because usually dual POVs are hard to nail. There's just something about it that appeals to me when well executed like in here.
As far as the characters went, both Alec and Theresa were well fleshed out and likable. Their friendship was so key to getting that romance lifted off and that made the whole book.

Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

This was a really cute read (even if I did get mad as hell at Theresa for how she was treating Alec). A friends-to-lovers trope is always fun, because there is so much more connection between the characters. And when one is in love with the other? Woah buddy...get ready for an emotional ride. Theresa's plan to make a grand gesture goes wrong, because of course it does, and she ends up on a wild goose chase through Manhattan. I'm still not entirely sure I like Theresa, but maybe that's because we started with Alec's side of the story - I felt protective of him. I really liked the way they came together though...that was cute.

I need to go back to read about Landon and Liz, because their story seems cute - and I hope Cassie Mae gives us Rian's story.

The characters were well developed, the story was well written and had me turning the pages.
The All About Love series has been a good read, with enjoyable and fun characters that will entertain you with their love stories.
Overall, Crazy About Love is a light, heartfelt, fun and a swoony read. I highly recommend Crazy About Love.

This is a cute story, and has some fun scenes. The story is told in 2 parts, 1 part from Alec's POV and 1 part from Theresa's POV. Alec has been in love with Theresa for awhile now, she feels for Alec as well, but she has issues, so she pushes him away. This is one of the things I didn't like, I didn't really care for Theresa. I felt she jerked Alec around too much. Also, I can't believe she'd fall for her sort of ex-boyfriend's issues, and I don't like that she's totally fine sleeping around. I felt really bad for Alec. Alec is tired of his feelings being rejected, so he thinks maybe it's time to move on. Theresa asks Alec to help her out by being a bachelor at an auction. A famous female artist wins Alec at the auction. Alec and the artist go on a date, and Alec finds himself enjoying his time with her. Alec's POV is mainly his date with the artist, but there are also flashbacks to his relationship with Theresa. Theresa's POV is mainly about her realizing that she cares more for Alec than she thought, but what if she's already lost him to the artist. Alec's a nice guy, and I really liked him. He's a sweetie. All in all, I liked it, but didn't quite connect with the characters, and I didn't like how the story was laid out.

I have not had a chance to read this book yet. I am still working on catching up and also trying not to get too far behind on other books. I will update this review once I have read the book.

A fun loving story that took me a little while to understand how the author was presenting it. First you have Alec Tucker a struggling actor who happens to be also madly in love with Theresa Jones, he actually told her in those words and because of an ex she tells him they can’t be anything but friends. He is frustrated and as he feels his life is going nowhere he decides he must move on. It is at this moment when Theresa who is working on an auction for Valentine’s Day needs one more guy because someone dropped out. She calls the only person who has always been there for her Alec. Her friend tells her to leave him alone and let him go since you do not want him and he is totally in love with you. Not knowing her plan when he arrives the bidding starts on the first man. When it is Alec turn to be on stage he gets into the music and the next thing you know his shirt is off and the bidding keeps going higher and higher. He cannot see you has won, but it is not the person he was hoping. It is an artist and when they go out on the town their date is filled with unexplained accidents. When you get to the second part of the story which is her part most of this is explained along with her version of what happened. Some of the parts are repeated, but the author does it in a way that still makes the story work. Overall I liked the characters, and though at first I did not like Theresa by the end my opinion had changed. So this is a good book and worth the read.

Crazy About Love was a sweet read. Overall I enjoyed it but it did lag in some places for me. This was my first time reading a book by Cassie Mae & I enjoyed her writing style.

I thought Theresa was interesting but Alec was bit of a whiner & I never really "liked" him. But the story was cute & I liked the HEA.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

I love dual pov, but didn't enjoy reading the same book twice. I would've preferred back and forth, instead of separate parts.

not my style, too much back and forth, cannot recommend

Crazy in Love by Cassie Mae was a good story. I have not read this author before but I really enjoyed her writing style. Although this is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone book. The characters were well developed and worked well together. They took a while to find the HEA but the journey was interesting. I recommend this book and look forward to reading more from Cassie Mae.

This book was a great story for friends to lovers who happen to hate each other sometimes, too. I enjoyed Ms. Mae's storytelling and the roundabout way things came together.

Who doesn't love a friends to lovers story? Alec and Theresa belonged together if only they could get out of their own way to see the possibilities. Great storyline and interesting characters.
