Book Beginnings and Friday56
Book Beginnings is a weekly meme hosted by Rose City Reader that asks you to share the first sentence (or so) of the book you're reading. Friday 56 is hosted by Freda's Voice and asks you to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your e-reader and share a non-spoiler sentence or two.
I got an early review copy for this one and can't wait to read this over the weekend!
Crazy for You
About the book:
The problem with being related to everyone in town is that there is no one left to date…until now. But will this outsider survive his family?
Former soldier Veronica “Ronnie” Morales isn’t going to let her kid brother, Tiago, get pulled into the gangs of Minneapolis, so, seeking safety and a fresh start, she heads to sleepy Deep Haven on the north shore of Minnesota. She’s hoping to put down roots as the paramedic for the new Crisis Response Team, but it’s not easy to be the town outsider.
Fire Chief Peter Dahlquist is a peacemaker—he has to be. After all, he’s related to both of the Deep Haven dynasties—the Zimmermans and the Dahlquists, Deep Haven’s version of the Hatfields and the McCoys. Worse, Peter is the holdout vote for a landmark project, which also makes him the loneliest guy in town when both families demand that he pick sides. The only one who seems to understand his plight is the newcomer in town…his pretty, street-tough paramedic.
When Tiago finds himself caught up in small town shenanigans and the town blames Ronnie for tragedy, Peter is forced to pick sides. But will his choice cost him the home—and the woman—he loves?

Tiago stared at Ben, his mouth dropping open. He was soaking wet, his red T-shirt plastered to his body.

My thoughts so far
I'm still to start this book, but just from the cover and description, think I will enjoy this.

That first sentence is so funny and if you don't come from a small town, I don't think you realize just how true it can be!
ReplyDeleteSeems like a good and fun read! Hope you enjoy it and keep us posted!

Thanks! Finished it in three days!
DeleteHonestly sometimes I'm so relieved I didn't grow up in a small town because that kind of loyalty conflict would be heavy to deal with! This sounds lovely though and I hope you enjoy it! I hope you have a lovely weekend and do drop by my Friday post if you have the time! - Juli @ A Universe in Words
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. It was a cute story.
DeleteSounds like a great story. I do like a Minnesota setting since I've never lived anywhere else. This week I am spotlighting Amaryllis by Jayne Castle which is a "paranormal romantic suspense." Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteI think the excerpts you shared are great teasers for this one--and the synopsis of course. :-) This sounds like something I would enjoy too. I hope you do enjoy it when you read it! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI did! finished in three days!
