💜 💜 💜 Crazy Imperfect Hearts by Samantha Christy is now available. 💜 💜 💜
It started with a one-night stand.
It turned into friends with benefits.
Then… it became a contract that bound us together for life.
My life is crazy. But organized. There are lists. There are calendars. Yes, plural. And there are a hundred Post-it notes lining the walls of my office.
But there is order to all of it. There is method to the madness. I know exactly where everything is, what I need to do, and precisely how to do it. My family business has an image we have to convey and it’s my responsibility as the marketing director to bring it to fruition.
Oh, and I, Lucas Montana, also look damn good in a suit.
Then there’s Regan. (Insert eye roll.) She’s crazy in its purest form. Her clothes make her look like a cross between Stevie Nicks and, I don’t know… Bat Girl? She’s eccentric. And don’t even get me started on the way she runs her business.
We’re complete opposites in every way. So then why, after one reckless night with her, do I feel her particular form of crazy might just be the very thing that’s been missing in my life, not to mention it could be the cure for the affliction that had me leaving four women at the altar.
But then, as life tends to do… a curveball comes our way. And even the crazy spins out of control.
Available in Kindle Unlimited, Kindle, and Paperback.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Oh wow, I was NOT expecting to have all the emotions for Lucas that I did! Over the course of Samantha Christy’s series set in Calloway Creek, I’ve seen bits and pieces of Lucas, known as the Runaway Groom, for having ditched four women at the altar. Going into this book, I honestly didn’t think that a baby pact story could possibly come close to Dallas’s book… but SC pleasantly surprised me because Lucas and Regan’s unconventional love story was just lovely!
Lucas and Regan were complete opposites and I loved it! She is flamboyant, eccentric, and lives her life flying by the seat of her pants; he literally has jumbo boxes of post-it notes delivered to help him organize his life. Yet he was so out of sorts after their one-night stand and it was adorable. As a serial monogamist, he had no idea how to handle the situation.
I thought SC did a phenomenal job of exploring Lucas’ insecurities and how he knew he was a pariah in Cal Creek. As he and Regan start a secret situationship, it slowly hits him that he never got over his first crush on his best friend’s sister, and then he just becomes so miserable when he realizes he’s trapped in a situation where he can’t tell her the truth.
Two things that bugged me: first, I’m a big fan of show, not tell, and I really wanted to see the reunion scene between Lucas and Ryder. I felt a bit disappointed when that was an expos recap and not an on-page scene. Secondly, as a plus-size woman myself, I appreciate a plus-size heroine. But why did it have to be said over and over again? Yes, Regan’s body shape was important to the story as far as her situation with her ex, and the pregnancy. But I felt like the constant mentions of her size every other page were insensitive and unnecessary.
Despite those two sticking points for me, I thought this story was lovely. I was crying, unexpectedly, by the time I got to the last 25% and just wanted these two to get on the same page!
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
