Crazy Imperfect Love (Dirty Dicks #2.5)

4.5 Stars In anticipation of Crazy Imperfect Love, I read the books in KL Grayson\’s Dirty Dicks series (although this wasn\’t necessary at all; they really don\’t overlap). Both Abby and Drake had been mentioned on many occasions in connection to Hannah (Abby is Hannah\’s sister, and Drake and Hannah have been friends for years). I really wanted to read their story! Abby has a very routine life, often led by her OCD tendencies, so to try to break up the routine, she takes a position as a traveling nurse. Drake is the chief of surgery at the hospital in Cunningham Falls where Abby winds up. They had met at Hannah\’s wedding and hit it off right away. But with Abby only being in Cunningham Falls for a short period of time, and Drake being her superior, a relationship is not possible. I absolutely loved this story! I loved Abby and her OCD, and how well Drake handled it- curious and patient, not accusatory or frustrated. KL Grayson did a wonderful job of infiltrating Kristen Proby\’s Big Sky world- a place that I really wish that I could visit! I highly recommend Crazy Imperfect Love, KL Grayson\’s Dirty Dicks series, as well as Kristen Proby\’s Big Sky series!

Crazy Imperfect love is my first K.L Grayson book. When I signed up to blog several of the stories that were releasing in the new Kristen Proby Collection, I thought it would be an excellent time to experience her writing for myself. And overall, I was delighted with this quick and easy read that was equally sweet and fun. This book happened to follow up several darker romances that I have been reading for my blog and it was a great book to read following those reads. Although as a first-time reader, I wish I had grabbed a full length K.L. Grayson book to start—then again, I somehow missed that this was a novella—so I felt like the book and characters were slightly underdeveloped. That said, I am definitely intrigued by her writing and will be scoping out other books she’s written so that I can see the true extent of her talents. I mean, let’s face it, novellas and short stories have to lack something, or they would be a full-length novel. I am pointing this out not as a determent to this story, but in fact so that the four stars I gave it would impart onto those reading reviews that this really is worth your time… worth considering for your next read! I loved that the characters were so quick to hit it off. Their instant attraction played into their rightness for one another and no romance reader worth their salt would tell you otherwise. The story is told in dual perspectives and the (very) slightly taboo plot gives readers the chance to see a relationship that moves quickly between a sexy surgeon and his nurse. The story moved quickly and left me with the warm and fuzzies that I love when I pick up this kind of romance. You can absolutely read this book as a standalone, although I won’t lie and tell you that you will want to. I personally devour everything I can by Kristen Proby so this collection was exciting for me to see in the works and I wasn’t disappointed in any of the stories I had the opportunity to read and review.

Awwww… Crazy Imperfect Love utterly and completely blew me away! All so sweet, heartfelt and genuine, a true love story I will not soon forget, and the most PERFECT addiction/crossover into my beloved Big Sky series! I have to say first and foremost I’m kicking myself here for not having found the time sooner to read this story, because I can honestly say it’s the most perfect crossover possible into one of my all time favorite author, Kristen Proby’s series, Big Sky. This was my first – yet again chastising myself here – time reading K. L. Grayson and I can guarantee you that it won’t be the last, because I’m doing straight to exploring her backlist. If like myself, your a über fan of Ms. Proby, I tell you right now, you need to read Crazy Imperfect love NOW!! While reading Drake and Abby’s story, I basically felt like I was reading a KP story, their writing styles are so similar, hence my immediate awe. There aren’t many authors that can pull of this realistic and down to earth love stories, fully packed of emotions and pure love and devotion that we feel in our bones, and Ms. Grayson, very much like Ms. Proby, does it in spades, and in an seemingly effortless way. That’s how brilliant CIL was written! Crazy Imperfect Love has the same setting as the Big Sky series, with Cunningham Falls as background and that feel of small town romance that I adore. Every since I read Waiting for Willa I have been immensely curious about Drake and Abby, considering how hot and intriguing they were together. And their story was every bit as amazing as I had hoped. Drake and Abby, Hannah’s cousin, met and instantly connected in a wedding and their one night together made quite a impact in both of them. Specially Abby, the always careful and cautious nurse, after the encounter, decided to try her life in this small town, and move with the hope of something more with Drake. Dr. Drake couldn’t have been happier to find Abby that his hospital, since he too, had been just as enchanted by their connection. Drake was the perfect book boyfriend, every step of the way through their blossoming relationship. So sure, so caring, so loving and so Alpha! He really was the whole package. Abby, omg, she touched me so deeply with her struggles, I felt instantly kinship to her. Suffering from OCD myself, so much so that it requires now treatment, I can honestly say that K.L. Grayson portrayed Abby’s emotions and struggles flawlessly. Every doubt, every herculean effort to resist, every obsessive moment couldn’t have been described more realistic that the author did. I have read more books where the subject is touched, but never with such intensity. Ms. Grayson pour on page the true struggles of an OCD mind in the most touching and respectful of ways. Abby truly was amazingly characterized, a perfect imperfection, just like their love. The way that Drake accepted, respected and LOVED Abby as whole, just made me fall for him even harder. They were perfect for one another, balancing each other in the most primal and romantic ways! K.L. Grayson showed me just how much I’ve been missing out by just reading her books now. Impeccable and mature writing, heart touching and realistic characters, engaging plot and setting, and addictively enrapturing storylines that capture you from the very first word and leave wanting more, this book had it all. And true to my word, I can’t wait to read more of the author, and am now DYING of excitement to see what will come of her collaboration with my fav, Kristen Proby, in their coming release, Already Gone! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Now that is a love story from start to finish. Drake and Abby found each other at a wedding as a one night stand but when Abby moves to Montana she bumps I to Drake and their relationship starts.
