Crazy Stupid Obsession is the second of three standalone novels in the Crazy Love Series.
I must begin this review by telling you that I love everything Melissa Toppen writes. She's really an author to discover if you still haven't read any of her books yet. After finishing Crazy Stupid Love, the first book in this series, I knew I needed to read Gavin and Harlee’s story, because they were very present characters that needed their own book.
After their one night stand, both of them aren’t the same; they’re obsessed with each other, but they try to deny it; Harlee by dating a "safe"guy and Gavin by sleeping with a long line of different girls. Let’s just say that their methods isn't very successful and sparks still fly when they're in each other proximity. I loved Gavin in the first book, but in this one I loved him even more. Despite all the hurdles he faced with Harlee I liked the way he was devoted to her after he finally acknowledges his real feelings for her. I had a little more difficulty to connect with Harlee, because I didn’t really agree with the way she acted toward the situation she was in. Her feelings for Gavin seemed incontestably genuine, but the way she couldn’t make her mind and stick with it with all the back and forth was a little difficult to make her completely loveable. She had a bitter childhood that made her struggles to blindly trust people and with the way their first encounter ended with Gavin ignoring her thereafter, it certainly didn't help her erase the doubts she had about a relationship with him. I still highly enjoyed their chemistry that was very palpable, and I couldn't help but feel that in spite of every obstacle in their way, they were meant to be together. Another thing I really appreciated about this novel was the interactions between this great group of friends. Gavin has a unique bond with Decklan and Paxton that goes beyond friendship and I absolutely loved their dynamic. Harlee also has an awesome and understandable friend in Kimber. It's great when secondary characters also has a voice in a book, and I got to see them a lot!!
This read was packed with funny and sweet moments, but also scenes filled with passion, fierceness but also sadness. Melissa Toppen has achieved with this new novel to present us a beautiful romance filled with undeniable chemistry and love.
