Crazy for Loving You by Pippa Grant
4.0
Different but fun
Daisy is one of those characters that was hard for me to like at first. I think I just needed to warm up to her, because on the surface she seems fake. But that facade is disguising a kind hearted woman lacking confidence despite being an extremely successful business woman.
The story itself is kind of a gender reversal. Daisy takes on some typical bookish billionaire male personality traits: she parties hard, is aggressively flirtatious, sleeps around with a lot of partners, and works a lot. No time for love, just a good time.
West, on the other hand, is a retired Marine whom wants that family life. He's not wealthy, but has his own business, enjoys caring for people, has a huge heart, and wants to settle down.
Fate brings them together when Daisy's cousin dies and leaves the guardianship of her baby in both of their hands. You can guess what happens in the story, but there were some great moments of self reflection by both characters. Especially in Daisy finding her place in a mothering role. I love that the characters in Pippa's books don't act in stereotypically gendered ways.
This book was different from the others and it's part of a series written by different authors, so maybe that gave this a different feel, but it still has the silliness and steam you'd expect from a Pippa book. I enjoyed this one.
