So this is my second book I have read by Daisy Prescott & now after reading it, I one clicked all her books!
Loving these standalones in this series.
This is Mara & Jess story.
I was jumping on my ski's from the start into their story laughing & swoony hard.
Soo many memorable moments that flowed well with the past and present between these two characters.
Hilarious shenanigans & Super hot Sexy times that had my cherries popping.
And of course, we get tons of romantic times that stole my heart.
And doggies & kitties that also stole my cherries. I want to adopt them all as my own.
I really enjoyed how Author Daisy Prescott gave us the Point of View from both main characters which made the story and chemistry between them flow thru the pages as I read.
Great story to keep you cozy on these rainy days & brighten your heart just like the sun shining on the beautiful mountain snow tops!
Go One click this must read book!

I was a little unsure when I asked for an ARC of Crazy Over You by Daisy Prescott. I had never read any of her books but I decided this weekend was all about the authors I have never read before. I absolutely struck gold! I really loved the cover and blurb, so why not give it a shot? I was 100% loving this story!
Crazy Over You is a feel-good story that made me happy. Mara and Jesse hit it off two years ago, in a drunken night of fun. Mara was in a drunken stupor and Jesse found himself having the time of his life with her, despite the issues he was going through at the time. After the night ended, Jesse left without more than a simple note to Mara and was never seen again. Did they have sex? Was it so bad that she just didn’t remember? Mara chalked her lack of memories to a lack of a memorable night with Jesse.
Two years later, in Aspen, Mara is now the new veterinarian in town and has had an anxiety attack on a ski slope. Can you guess who’s going to come to her rescue? Jesse is a sexy bearded man who works for the ski patrol and is absolutely just as stunning as he was two years ago. Problem is, Mara doesn’t know if she should be happy he has no idea who she is or should she be mad she was so forgettable? Little does Mara know that Jesse knows exactly who she is and has a plan to make her remember him also.
“My savior isn’t prince charming. No, I’m not that lucky. He’s my worst nightmare. He’s my one night stand from two years ago. And he doesn’t remember me.”
Mara and Jesse are such an easy hero/heroine to love. They fit together seamlessly and an were so very enjoyable to read. I loved all of the secondary characters as well, and will be going back to read the first book in this series. There was no overly intense drama which made this book absolutely perfect for my weekend binge reading session! I am in total awe of these two characters and this will definitely be a re-read for me, many times over!
“Life’s never long enough if you love someone.”
Crazy Over You is my first book by Author Daisy Prescott and I am absolutely in love! This story had all the feels with very little drama and some laughs thrown in for good measure. This book has such a good balance of everything I was looking for, it was a good way to start my weekend! Ms. Prescott, you have a new fan

Crazy Over You is the story of Mara and Jesse. Two years ago, they met while Mara was on vacation and shared an unbelievable kiss. So unbelievable Mara is still thinking about it two years later, along with the fact she can’t really remember what happened that one drunken night. When she moves to the Aspen area for a job, she unexpectedly runs into her kissing soulmate and disastrous one night stand from two years ago, Jesse. There’s just one problem. They both think the other one doesn’t remember the night they first met. Hilarity ensues when they both try to get the other one to confess the truth about that night.
I was laughing out loud while reading this. Mara was hilarious. At some points I felt like I was reading about myself. I would say out loud, ‘oh my gosh, she’s me!’ We’re the same age, wear a similar size, both unmarried singles who moved to a new place where we knew no one. Granted she’s already settled in her career, and I’m definitely not, but I felt a sort of kinship with her. Mara is tired of living the same ‘ol boring life. Her move to Snowmass Village is the first step in what she hopes is an exciting new direction. Her life takes a definite turn toward not boring, when she runs into Jesse, her disastrous one night stand from two years ago.
Jesse is just… wonderful. He’s a local guy who works as part of the ski patrol team. He has an adorable dog, Fern, and he just stole my heart. He is pretty much the definition of a good guy. Nice, respectful, responsible. A lot of times those things can make someone boring. But Jesse is anything but boring. I loved how open he was with Mara. He totally wore his heart on his sleeve, and it was so refreshing. I’m not super keen on alpha-males, which I feel dominate the majority of romance novels. Jesse has confidence without arrogance. He’s assertive without being dominating. He doesn’t shy away from showing, and telling, Mara how he feels; whether it’s about his dog, his brothers, or Mara herself. He goes after what he wants in life, but doesn’t control others to get what he wants.
On a positive note, this book doesn’t have any of the over-the-top drama that new adult novels tend to have. No major miscommunications (with the exception of one thing, which isn’t really a miscommunication, more a misremembering) to tear them apart, causing agony for both characters. None of that nonsense.
This book was just what I needed. I’ve been in a bit of a book slump. Nothing has sounded good or whatever I did start, I just couldn’t get into. I can always count on a Daisy Prescott novel to bring me through a slump.
If you’re looking for a heartwarming, laugh out loud, drama free new adult novel that is a perfect weekend read, I highly recommend Crazy Over You. You’ll fall in love with Jesse, Mara, and the beautiful village of Snowmass.

“I brought you here, because you’re important to me. I want you to know me. All of me. My history, my dreams.”My only complaint, if it can be categorized as such, is that I wanted more. We have these fantastic characters, and I wanted to know more about them. We learn a little about Jesse’s brothers, but we don’t learn much about Mara’s family. I wanted to know more about how these characters came to be who they are today.

I have to admit, I've loved Prescott's Wingmen series to distraction. This one, unrelated to either that or her Modern Love series, didn't grab me. It was okay, but I didn't connect with the characters the way I wanted to. Also, the plot line with Jesse's brother had a lot of potential that wasn't fully realized. That said, even a mediocre Prescott story is better than a lot of things out there. And I followed it up with a reread of Dan the Pizza Man's book, Better Love.

Jesse and Mara’s story may be one of my favorites by Daisy! Don’t get me wrong, her other books that I have read I’ve enjoyed immensely but there was just something about Crazy Over You that pulled me in right from the beginning. From learning how Jesse and Mara met a couple years previously to their meet at the beginning, Jesse and Mara both not being forthright about remembering their first encounter, to them both fighting feelings for each other just had me smiling and rooting for them. Oh and dogs, I mean how can you not love a book that has dogs involved.
Daisy has this talent for developing great character development and setting the scene of her books that you grow an attachment to the characters and it is like you are walking through the town that her books take place in.

So after reading two books in this series I can say with no doubt that I will be reading the entire series.
I love the setting.
There are mountains, there is lots of snow, there is a winter romance and hot guys.. do I need to say more?
Add to all ove the above: Prescott's wonderful writing, her wit and the slow(ish) real romance- and you got me all smitten. Utterly and totally smitten.
The romance is cute and swoony and has a nice sizzle to it. The storyline is interesting. There are no unnecessary dramas, just enough angst and insecurities to add a little drama. Otherwise this is straightforward and feels utterly real.
The character building,as always with Prescott, shines above it all for me. Definitely character driven for me.
I totally adore Jesse. Sweet, honest,honorable. And yet so straight-forward it refreshing. At first however I wasn't a huge fan of his POV. I swear it got better though, honestly I'm not sure if it just grew on me or if there was really an improvement. It's interesting to see behind the hot dude mask and discover more about him. Though I feel there are loads of things I still don't know about him.
Despite all that I'm totally fangirling.
There are some interesting moments written from Jesse's POV and he isn't fairing as well because there is Mara POV. Mara on the other hand is brilliantly written. I love her POV, it's super witty, it's quirky and unique. I feel like I know her, and I would totally be friends with her in RL.
The support cast is interesting. There is a nice group of girls coming together.. I am wondering if we going to get stories for the clique? Also which male specimen will we admire next?
Then there is Landon. And I don't know where to cast him. Because let's face it he is an ass, but that's all we get. He seems just the resident asshat, not reason nor rhyme. I mean he is apparently gorgeous and... an ass. Even though he featured in both books little else is known. Wondering if he will just stay the "villain"or if we get some insight in future books.
A must read for fans of the author. Though it is a series it works as a standalone, so if you never read a Prescott book, it would be a good one to start with.

Mara is a veterinarian who recently moved to the area to work with Sage (from Book One) at the animal sanctuary.
Jesse Hayes is Ski Patrol. He has a quiet life with his dog, Fern.
Two years ago, Jesse & Mara shared a steamy encounter. Now, Mara finds herself in need of rescuing when she has a panic attack on a difficult ski slope. Jesse doesn't remember her at first but soon that old chemistry is back..
Very sweet, very sexy, great leads, great chemistry, really enjoyed this.
