Crazy in Love

Rosewood River Series, Book 4

By: Laura Pavlov

Narrated by: Vanessa Vasquez, Jason Clarke

Emilia Taylor hates me, which is absolutely fine by me, because I don’t particularly care much for her either.

Maybe I took things too far, but I decided she was the enemy a long time ago, and she gave me no reason to think differently.

At least not until recently.

And when she sets her mind to prove me wrong, she goes all in.

I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong—because it sure as hell doesn’t happen very often.

But being vulnerable with a woman who I was convinced was out for my family was a big pill to swallow.

So, I’d rather send her a fancy gift and call this vendetta done.

However, she is anything but predictable.

She doesn’t want a fancy gift from a man who she’s declared a broody, heartless billionaire.

Her words, not mine.

And it’s not like you can send flowers to a woman who owns a floral shop.

She wants a sincere apology instead, but that may be more than I can give.

She’s sunshine and rainbows, and I’m…well not.

But when the first tear rolls down her cheek, I swear something inside me cracks.

Turns out, my cold jaded heart still works.

Apparently, it beats for the one woman I never saw coming.

Bridger and Emilia…

Crazy in Love is the fourth book in the Rosewood River series. It is a grumpy/sunshine, small town, enemies to lovers romance. This one has sizzling chemistry, the small town vibes we love, hysterical group chats, spice and all the feels. I laughed out loud, swooned and wanted to smack Bridger a few times. He and Emilia are the perfect fit. I loved this story.

Vanessa Vasquez and Jason Clarke did an amazing job bringing this story and these characters to life.

I just want more.

fantastic narration.
finally the best narration I've heard so far. it's quite rare to hear each gender reading their lines and it makes all the difference.. absolutely fun.
the story grab me right from the beginning.
it's a book I'll listen to again.
Laura Pavlov's stories are really beautiful.

Falling Hard in Rosewood River

📖 Crazy in Love – Laura Pavlov
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️
Small-town • Billionaire romance • Heartwarming • Guaranteed HEA

I’ve really enjoyed the Rosewood River series, and this one was no exception. Laura Pavlov usually delivers, and I had been looking forward to Bridger and Emilia’s story for a while. There were some childhood trauma elements that were handled thoughtfully—they added emotional depth without turning the story into an angst-fest.

The narration by Vanessa Edwin and Jason Clarke was excellent and made the story even better. And the kids—absolute stars! Cutler (aka Beefcake) might be one of my favorite fictional kids of all time. When Pavlov eventually writes his book, I already know it’s going to hit me right in the feels.

A sweet, small-town billionaire romance that’s heartwarming, emotional, and filled with love and laughter—a guaranteed HEA that leaves you smiling.

Bridger & Emilia are top tier

In all seriousness, this book is one of my top favorites by Laura Pavlov. I am still in such aww at the way that she was able to make you feel such a deep connection with Bridger and Emilia. They’re not just characters, they feel like family. I truly love these two so dang much. The emotions, the feels, the swoon, the stubbornness and determination, the spice….it all came together to give us this story that was honestly just such a breath of fresh air for me in this wide and vast world of romance books.
 
What to expect:
•Small Town Romance
•Enemies to Lovers
•Billionaire
•Grumpy/Sunshine
•Duet Narration Audiobook (so freaking perfectly done!!)
•Standalone (although I recommend reading in order for the best experience)
 
Things I loved:
•I loved the way Emilia was determined to show Bridger his wrongs. Get ready for lots of laughs. The whole gang will have you highly entertained.
•I loved how vulnerable Bridger made himself to Emilia.
•I loved how Emilia knew what she wanted and was determined to follow her dreams.
•I loved how Bridger stood up for Emilia. Can we talk about the total drop the mic, swoon fest moment.
•I loved getting all the drop ins, special moments, and never ending banter between all the family and friends.
 
This book was heartwarming and guaranted to give you all those HEA Vibes.

GREAT STORY, AMAZING LISTEN!!

As always, Laura makes me fall even more in love with these characters. I love the way this story is woven through the previous books to such a build up you know it is going to be epic! This enemies to lovers in a small town with a found family and so much witty banter that you will laugh out loud. And all the grumpy / sunshine vibes you want in a small town romance!

Bridger and Emilia have that chemistry that we love to read. This chemistry has been brewing through the series in the background. And when they finally find common ground and clear the air, their attraction can't be ignored. These two made me love them more, and I didn't know that was possible.

Jason Clarke and Vanessa Vasquez narrate this amazing story in duet! I love it when the narrators have such great chemistry that they compliment each other, and that is what this duo does. Jason has the perfect voice to be gruff and standoffish just as Bridger is. I thought he was the perfect choice for the grumpy hero.
Vanessa has a sweet voice that I thought was a tad high-pitched for Emilia. But she still did a great job with the story and bringing it to your ears.

All in all, I loved this story and the audio. I just love this town and the characters that have been created. I am excited for what is to come next!!
