Crazy for You by Michelle Sass AlecksonMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
He plopped on the bed and whispered, "Are we going to be okay? These people are weird.”
I flew through this book in three days! The story was intriguing and plot interesting that I found myself thinking I will read a chapter, then when I finally take my nose out of the book (or in this case, close my kindle), and hour or more passed.
For the author's debut, the story flowed easy and the character growth was well balanced out, all in the loved and known small town of Deep Haven, created by Susan May Warren. What I appreciated in this one (where previous books was all about the town accepting and loving strangers), this story brought to light struggles outsiders face when trying to find a place in a tight knit small town.
Peter with his inner struggle to keep peace grabbed at my heartstrings and Ronnie with her ruggedness and go-getter personality ruffled a few feathers.
Roar when you find something worth fighting for.
I enjoyed the spiritual wisdom the author imparted to this reader through characters' struggles and the lovable Pastor Dan. Ronnie's brother Tiago stole my heart.
Recommended to fans of contemporary fiction and Susan May Warren's Deep Haven series.

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?
