Flynn Daly has always been the black sheep in the family. She lives in a rough neighborhood on the south side of Boston, can’t keep a job to save her life and men, well that’s a subject she’d rather not talk about.

Freya, Flynn’s sister, can’t take her sisters lifestyle any longer, so she fabricates a story that their father is ailing. She convinces Flynn to move out of her dangerous apartment and join the family business. Her first job is an easy one. She’s to move to the country in upstate New York to their deceased Aunts Inn, schmooze the staff into believing they won’t sell - yet. And most importantly don’t mix business with pleasure. What could be more relaxing, right?

Wrong! Flynn starts seeing dead people in the form of her deceased Aunt; mixed with one hot looking bartender she realizes nothing is ever easy in her life.

CRAZY IN LOVE is one of the most humorous books I’ve ever read. From the minute Flynn steps off the train in upstate New York the fun begins. The characters are zany, witty and downright loveable. This reviewer found herself routing for Flynn to succeed all her challenges and she was confronted with many along the way.

Flynn was a character easy to relate to and having the setting in upstate New York was a bonus for this reviewer. As a native New Yorker, I found I could see exactly where the story was taking place. Ms. Rich is a new author to me, but one I will read in the future.

Jake, the handsome bartender is just icing on the cake. The situations this duo gets into will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, nervous. Other times you’ll be laughing or crying, wanting to shake them and say ‘don’t you get it’?

If you enjoy suspense, ghosts and romance then CRAZY IN LOVE is for you. This reviewer highly recommends this story!
