Crazy, Wicked Love by Melissa Foster
4.0

This was such a wonderful read here. Crazy Wicked Love is the third book in her current series "Dark Knights at Bayside" and it was beyond delicious. I always get a kick out of Melissa Foster, and in this novel she really delivered such a solid read. I admired the way in which Foster built up the friends to lovers romance here with a twist of unrequited love. I really adored how both characters are ex military and veterans and seemed perfect for the week of Veteran's Day. Which was NOT done on purpose haha it was a happy coincidence. There is something about unrequited love that just works for me. I do adore a pining heroine, and yeah I like it more than pining hero in many ways.

Crazy Wicked Love really delivered all the sexy badass vibes. I really loved how she just charmed my socks off here. I really adored seeing the heroine work her way into the hero's heart. There is such a strong friendship between them, but seeing the way that the heroine just was so hurt in trying to get something more between them was heartbreaking at times. You can just feel the emotion coming off of her in wanting to have the hero not just as a friend, but as a romantic partner. I loved the way in which she builds jealousy in the hero and makes him wake up to what is between them, the chemistry that has always been beneath the surface.

I have to admit that this book just worked out so well for me, and even though it wasn't a full five-star read (which I think is more on me, I have been struggling of late getting fully into books) but I was so swept away by the sexy emotion in this one. If you are a fan of Melissa Foster or just sexy contemporary romance, you definitely need to grab these up!
