Drive Me Crazy by Leaona Luxx
3.0
The continuing theme in Leaona’s books is one or both of the main characters don’t think they are ‘good enough’ for the other. Secrets, misunderstandings and self doubt over their own worth result in lengthy separations and angsty drama before a HEA.
The books are described as being able to be read as standalone books in any order. I’ve actually read a few books in the series, and still find it confusing to figure out who all the secondary characters are and how they are connected to other characters. This book seems to jump in where I assume the prior book left off, because the first several chapters read like they were several chapters into the story.
I also struggle with engaging with the story to some degree because big parts of the story are kept hidden and ‘off the page’ to feel like the author is keeping secrets from readers. This book had something that happens around the 85% mark that is completely out of left field and was never even hinted at until it’s all of a sudden discovered by Ridge and becomes yet another reason these two can’t be together for another few angsty chapters, until suddenly all is overcome in a quick moment.
I enjoyed this book more than I have the last couple of books from earlier in the series. This level of angst and drama are just a bit too much for my taste, so I’m going to be a little more choosy in the future when deciding which books to read in the series.
