Helpful Score: 3

Every year to this point in my adult life, I write down 3 New Year's Resolutions: lose 20 pounds, learn to speak Spanish, and write a romance novel. Honestly, next year I may only write down 2 resolutions, because Tara Janzen beat me to #3.

First of all, props to Janzen, because if you go to her website, she's got cars AND guns on display on two of her pages, so she's not just hitting the microfiche alone to research this, the first book in her first series of books. I'm not a gun person in real life, but she gets an A+ in the accuracy department.

If you're the type of person who doesn't want to suspend disbelief in the "love-at-first-sight" department, this may not be the book for you. The book's events take place over 5 days, so in hindsight, even I'm doubting how long a relationship can last after the suspense and action. It's my realist side choking the life out of my hopeless romantic side.

That said, let me say that I read this book in a car, with a flashlight for a reading lamp, desperate for any reading light to continue to know what would happen at the end of the book. Oh, and the love scenes are hot... as in, melt-my-rosary-beads hot. The only couple who gets the luxury of a bed for their love scene are the secondary characters. Again, not for the faint of heart, but I ate it up.

I'm thinking about creating a countdown timer for when I receive "Crazy Cool" in the mail.
