Flynn Daly is soon to turn thirty. She has never held a job for more than a year; she has never had or maintained
even a casual relationship for more than six months, and she lives paycheck to paycheck, barely scraping by.
Flynn's sister, Freya, and Flynn's father, Richard, are deeply concerned and decide to engage in an
"intervention." They are deeply concerned about the destructive direction Flynn's life has taken, and feel it
would be in Flynn's best interest to make a few basic changes.
Flynn agrees to the changes her sister and father wish to make in her life. Flynn's first assignment (working
for her father) is to go to Scheintown, NY. Flynn's great-aunt Esther has died and left the Goodhouse Arms Inn to
Flynn's family. Her sole purpose in being there is to maintain a "presence" for a few weeks until the Inn can be
sold.
Flynn moves into her great-aunt’s cottage at the Inn. She is haunted by the ghost of her great-aunt in her
dreams. Maybe it’s the sleep deprivation but she is beginning to feel kind of.. warm toward the place. She is
feeling especially warm toward Jake Tucker.
Jake Tucker, an ex-cop, works at the Goodhouse Arms Inn as a bartender, and he is suspicious about Esther's
death. Even though she was eighty-seven years old and had a bad heart Jake just knows she didn’t die of natural
causes.
Flynn and Jake have their hands full with great-aunt Esther's suspicious death, a dead body pulled out of the
river that is tied to the Inn, a very large amount of money missing, being shot at, and their strong and growing
attraction to each other.
Crazy In Love has some surprising twists and turns that kept me glued to the pages of this book to the
very end. With romance intermingled with plenty of suspense, Crazy In Love is a splendid novel. The
characters are well-developed and the plot is engaging.
Lani Diane Rich has a writing skill that is superb. I found this story to be more of a mystery read than
a romance, but also a truly touching read. Ms. Rich is a fantastic writer and story-teller, and I look forward to
reading many more books by this author. I truly enjoyed reading Crazy In Love and highly recommend
it to others.
