Crazy Over You is a delightful PNR with a touch of mystery. I adore LeAnn. She is quirky, snarky and strong. Just as I like my heroines. Travis is sweet and sexy and for such a smart guy totally clueless. She is street smart and he has a genius IQ. They are perfect for each other. I love that though they are scent matched mates she doesn’t just fall into bed with him. The only thing I didn’t like about this book is that it feels as if it is part of a series. It can be read standalone but the characters refer to things that happened earlier. Maybe Jordan and Christa have a book out there that I’ve not read but will be looking for. But it was most definitely worth the read.

CRAZY OVER YOU is the third book in Sparrow's Taming the Pack series and you CAN read it as a standalone, but you will miss out on the information for previous events that are mentioned multiple times throughout the book. There are also characters involved you wont know anything about without first having read the first two books in the series. So my suggestion would be to read the books in order.
LeAnn is a fiercely independent woman with a fiery personality. She comes into Travis's home looking for information on her brother and she refuses to leave until she finds him. She knows nothing of pack life and isn't a wolf, but others don't believe her as she has their abilities and smell to her. Travis is the pack alpha. He is calm and likes things to be done a certain way. He doesn't want to hurt LeAnn, but he must tell her that her brother is dead and was a traitor to his pack. Only problem is she doesn't believe him and soon he doubts that her brother is dead himself.
I really enjoyed LeAnn and Travis as a couple. There were a lot of pushing and shoving aside of feelings, but the constant pull towards each other wore them down in the end. The pack isn't exactly welcoming of LeAnn at first, but I enjoyed watching attitudes change and certain people be put in their place.
With a pack of wolfs the story is never lacking action, drama and danger. Sparrow's writing always flows nice and the story is complimented by the storyline continuation from previous books. I like that characters are brought over from earlier books, but I was missing some of my other favorite characters. I can't help but wonder who will be featured next.

This book hilarious. If you want to read about "crazy" Lycans then this one is definitely for you. It made me laugh so much. The story is a beautiful mess, things keep happening out of the blue and keep readers on their toes. You know that something is not right but you can't figure out what it is until the very end. I loved the way its written, plot is good but the best part is all the crazy conversations between Travis and LeAnn. Absolutely loved it!
P.S. I got complementary copy of this book.

LeAnn Wilcox is a woman on a mission. The book opens with LeeAnn naked and holding a knife to Sheriff Travis Flynn's throat. She's trying to find her brother, a member of his pack and wants to know where he is. That's one way to introduce yourself to your brother's alpha, I guess. What she didn't know is that everyone is sure that her brother is dead since he betrayed the pack. She is still determined to find him and doesn't believe that he's dead.
Oh and to throw a kink in her mission, when she's naked and holding the knife to the sexy sheriff's throat, she scent matched (think soul mates). She's determined not to settle down with Travis and his pack of lycans, she just wants to find her brother and get out. But don't you know Travis has other plans. He's slowly chipping away at her heart.
The book started a bit slow for me, but really it was just setting up the pack dynamic and building for the surprises. I enjoyed LeAnn's character after a bit, since she did seem a bit crazy at the beginning. I liked Travis's character from the start though. It was an interesting read, and I'd definitely read book two. If you're looking for a whodunit with weres I suggest you pick this one up.

Yup.
Travis is my favorite.
(Although Jordan definitely grew on me by the third book.)

Sheriff Travis Flynn has seen a lot of things but waking up to naked woman holding a knife to his throat is not one of him. Travis had been thinking of taking a mate but when he sees the beauty threatening him he knows he found his scent-match mate. She is crazy but Travis figures it will keep their lives entertaining, the only problem is she is the brother of a traitor to his pack.
LeAnn Willcox had received a strange call from her brother and shows up in town to investigate, only to be told he had done terrible things and was killed because of it. LeAnn though doesn't believe it and decides to investigate herself. Throw in a man who thinks she is his mate and a lifetime of living as a bit of a grifter, LeAnn doesn't know what she wants even if Travis insists it's him.
This was an entertaining paranormal story. A bit angsty with LeAnn and if she will accept Travis as her mate or not. You get why though as you learn her backstory. Plenty of twists and turns in the story that had me turning the page to see what happened next.

I loved this book and loved this series--and now I'm trying not to cry because the author's acknowledgements say this is the series finale...(sniff! sob!!)
...but hey, what a way to go!
It's a good thing that digital highlighters don't ever dry up, because I gave my Kindle's highlighter function a real workout with this one. There are so many laugh-out-loud moments, and so many truly clever lines. I enjoyed the heck out of reading this one--I wish I had room on my reading schedule to re-read the whole series right now, but alas I do not. Definitely something to look forward to in the future, though ;)
Right from the very first page, Travis and LeAnn are on opposite sides--he's a small-town sheriff, she's a (rather successful) petty criminal; she's looking for her brother, he might just have had a hand in the man's very recent death; he wakes from a dead sleep to find her naked on top of him, with one of his own knives to his throat--and just in case that's not enough, Travis realizes almost immediately that they've scent matched, which means they're destined to be mates.
Oh, the conflict! The pages are oozing with it, in the best possible way.
The romance, of course, is fantastic--Travis and LeAnn have great chemistry and even better banter. Even in the middle of a shootout, they were making me laugh.
This book was a thank-goodness-I-don't-have-to-work-today-because-I'm-not-sure-I-could-stop-reading-it kind of story. Make sure you've cleared out a few hours before you sit down to start it; you'll be glad you did.
I have loved this series from start to finish, and can't wait to see what Ms. Sparrow has in store for us next. In the meantime, at least we have her backlist... ;)
Rating: 4 1/2 stars / A

Oh, the conflict! The pages are oozing with it, in the best possible way.
"If you let me up, we can keep talking about this." And by "talking" he meant he'd have her on her back, moaning out his name rather rapidly. His very long stretch of abstinence was about to end.Even though at first they seem like oil and water, the reader can clearly see that fate got it right this time--LeAnn and Travis are each exactly what the other needs. Travis, the organizing, control-freak alpha, definitely needed a less-than-gentle shove out of the rut his life had gotten into. LeAnn had spent a lifetime looking for a place to belong and a family that wouldn't leave or make her want to leave, and she finds it with Jordan and the pack. Plus, she gets to use her "special skills" for the greater good for a change.
She licked her lips and wrinkled up her nose. "First, tell me where my brother is."
Well, that would ruin any "talking".
She could hot-wire cars. That was good to know. Also very sexy. In a non-law-abiding way that he couldn't ever outwardly support.The suspense was nicely done--though I was pretty sure I knew some of what was going on, I didn't have it all figured out until the characters did, which was excellent. Book three continues the series' overarching plot where the packs are concerned, finally resolving their main problem--it will all make more sense if you've read the first two books in the series (especially book two, [b:This Weakness for You|23591589|This Weakness for You (Taming the Pack, #2)|Wendy Sparrow|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1419020229s/23591589.jpg|43015597], since that's when LeAnn's brother has a major role) but if you haven't, much of what you need to know is explained along the way. (Warning: Jordan, hero of aforementioned book two, is in here quite a bit. You're going to love him and need to read his story ASAP, if you haven't already. And maybe even if you have.)
The romance, of course, is fantastic--Travis and LeAnn have great chemistry and even better banter. Even in the middle of a shootout, they were making me laugh.
Both he and LeAnn bounced up at the same time, firing. More swearing from Troy.See what I mean? There's a lot more where that comes from, believe me. ;)
"Yes!" LeAnn said as they dropped back down to the floor.
"I got him," they said at the same time before scowling at each other.
"Oh, that was me," LeAnn said.
"No, I'm sorry, but that was me." He wasn't going to give up his hits because she was a woman he wanted in a filthy way--one he wanted even more now that he'd seen her fire a gun. "Troy, was that last hit from a rifle or handgun?" he yelled.
His answer was more swearing.
"It was from a rifle," he translated for her.
"Oh, sweetie, if you really need this to boost your self-confidence, I'll give you this one," she said, giving him a long look.
"Honey, that wasn't a gun in my pocket a few minutes back. Trust me, I have a lot to be confident about." He gestured toward the other side of the table with his head. "Including that last shot."
She pulled her shirt off. "And they're real, babydoll."
He stared.
"And that last shot was all me too."
