I listened to the audiobook and loved it!! I should have known that this was part of a series, but I have been reading all of Pippa’s books in story line order and didn’t realize. That being said, it completely holds up as a stand-alone romance and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series! In true Pippa fashion, the characters are fun, dynamic, intelligent and just a lil bit wacky!
The narrators were fantastic with perfect cadence, fun accents/character voices and impeccable performance!

This was such an amazing book! I normally don’t like the surprise baby-trope, but this story proved to be the exception to the rule. I loved it so much, it has so much heart and love and humor. West and Daisy are already good on their own, but they help to make each other better. This book is a pretty slow burn, but with everything that is happening, it totally works for the story. But it is absolutely worth the wait! Ball pits have definitely changed for me, haha! I loved that Daisy knows she doesn’t need West in her life, but that she wants him in her life. That’s how every relationship should be! And it’s so great to have a series where the billionaire is the woman, all the girl power!

I LOVE Daisy. Meeting her in the previous books, I knew she would be fun but I loved everything about her. Especially all the kookie rooms in her house (I want a ball pit/ trampoline room- so jealous). And West- he had a heart of gold. I loved seeing his humor come out. He really was perfect for Daisy.
This was a great series -each author had their own spin which was great. I will miss these billionaires and the Bluewater community.

This book was cute and fun and a nice easy break after my previous heavy read. Daisy was fun and vibrant, West was a dude, they were cute and the dialogue was sharp. I enjoyed it, and it was a fun intro to Pippa Grant.

#1 The Price of Scandal ★★★★ 1/2
#2 The Mogul and the Muscle ★★★
#3 Wild Open Hearts ★★ 3/4
#4 Crazy For Loving You ★★★ 3/4
— Daisy Imogen Carter-Kincaid is my favorite vagillionaire next to Emily. One the outside she seems like a party girl, but she's made out of so much heart and soul. Daisy and West are the definiton of bubbly sunshine heroine and grumpy hero. There are two quotes that describe Daisy and West perfectly: "That's just who she is. Bright. Unpredictable. Crazy." &"Westley Jaeger's body and mind might be made of steel, but his heart is cotton candy." Especially the second one for Westley is so on point. He's this big grumpy military guy but he just wants to be loved and take care of the people he loves. He's a big softie. That's why Daisy and Westley are the perfect match: they both have ginormious hearts.
— Emily, Cameron, Daisy and Luna together are what I'm here for. Their Drag Queen Brunches... I'm still applying for a job as a waitress for Sundays, but only Sundays. Daisy and West wedding scene which takes place at the Drag Queen Brunch. AWESOME!
— Great family scenes. Westley's family is the best. His sisters, brother and parents are freaking awesome. The scenes were everyone is together at Daisy's house is one of the best. So much awesomeness in one place! I did not only get great girls scenes with the four vagillionaires, but some really great scenes with Derek, Jude, Beck and West together as well!!! That's the content i have signed up for.
— Adorable little baby. I'm a sucker for babies and kids in books that's why I don't mind the 'accidental pregnancy' trope so much cause I know the kids will bring joy. This book is a slightly changed version of accidental pregnancy with Daisy and West getting accidental parental rights to Remington (who names their kid Remington by the way? Please don't do not make that same mistake.) I love this baby, he's the cutest.
— The different relationship aspect really stand out. Not only Daisy's relationship with the girls, but her relationship with her mother was really sweet too. They don't have that many scenes together but the first one at the funeral was super funny and the ones near the end as well. Every scene where Helene was involved was a win.
— Here comes the big problem: You know the saying "guys think with their dicks"? That could not be truer with West. He LITERALLY thinks with his dick and it's really disturbing. It really bothered me that his nuts and balls could talk and cheer and think other really weird thoughts. Here some examples:
"Or coming through with that rich girl who needs a lube job!" my nuts cheer. They’re hopeless.
"Fuck yeah, we’re partying tonight!" my balls cheer.
She’s curvy and bold and bright, and she’s rendered my balls mute.
My balls whimper. "Tonight could’ve gone soooo differently. Are we sure all’s lost?"
Excuse me what? For that reason alone I wanted to give this book a lower rating during the first half of the book, because every time West balls would think again I couldn't take his chapters seriously. I know this book is shelved as rom-com, but it was too much for me. Do you know how many times the word 'nuts' was mentioned? Over 35 times. The word 'balls' was in it 45 times. A few of them were in the context of balls pits but sill. Luckily it got better, because after a while it didn't bothered as much as before. Still super weird and a major reason why I'm giving only 4 stars.
— I'm so glad this series went out with this book. After being disappointed with Cam and Luna's story I didn't know if Emily's story was my exception, but I really enjoyed reading Crazy For Loving You. Overall this series had some exceptional friendships and great side characters and hilarious animals. I'm kinda sad that I have to say goodbye to the Bluewater community now.
P.S. Fun facts: Daisy's office has a wall of frozen yogurt dispensers. Her whole house is shape of a D.

He laughs and kisses me. “Some days, I think I’m crazy for loving you.” “But it’s the best kind of crazy.”[This review contains spoilers, read at your own risk.]
