This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I agree with some of the other reviews I have seen about the series not always being logical. However, the books are very compelling and emotional. Great chemistry abounds between the hero and heroine in the four books I have read so far, and there is plenty of fast moving action. I love the way that Janzen introduces and follows some of the romances between characters in earlier books and then later gives the characters their own book. Becaus This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I agree with some of the other reviews I have seen about the series not always being logical. However, the books are very compelling and emotional. Great chemistry abounds between the hero and heroine in the four books I have read so far, and there is plenty of fast moving action. I love the way that Janzen introduces and follows some of the romances between characters in earlier books and then later gives the characters their own book. Because of this, I would strongly recommend reading the books in order. The main characters of Crazy Kisses, Kid Chronopolous and Nikki McKinney, were introduced and began their relationship in the first two books of the series. So much of their story takes place in the other books that a reader would not understand their entire relationship if they read Crazy Kisses without the rest of the series.

Crazy Kisses continues with Kid and Nikki where Crazy Cool left off. After telling Nikki McKinney he loved her, "Kid Chaos" Chronopolous disappeared for seven months. Nikki is heartbroken but finally decides she needs to move on with her life. She finds out that Kid is going to Panama, so she surprises him there, planning to give him a final goodbye. As soon as Kid and Nikki see each other, they both realize their feelings for one another have not changed. Complications arise when Kid's last mission as an SDF government agent comes back to haunt him in the form of Columbians who plan to assassinate him. Kid kills the assassins and has to get Nikki to safety before he is tracked down again. Kid wavers between feeling that he must give Nikki up for her own good, and knowing that he can't let her go.

I was so glad to read more about Kid and Nikki. I have loved their story since they were introduced in the first book. I didn't care much for the secondary story about the "Castle Rats," a gang of children. I felt that it took up time that I wanted to see spent on the relationship of Kid and Nikki. I do enjoy the character of Travis James, and I look forward to reading his story later. ...more

Crazy Kisses is another keeper in a lengthening list of Tara Janzen's must read books and joining the other books in "The Steele Street Series" on my 'to be re-read' list. Kid and Nikki's story was filled with {1} non-stop action, {2} thrilling suspense, {3} sizzling sex scenes, and {4} a side story featuring {a} Skeeter Bang, {b} Travis James, and two brand new characters {c ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I really enjoyed Kid and Nikki's story. You really feel connected to the story after having read the previous books in the series. The progression of their relationship is nice, and both are great characters in and of themselves. Plus they have a fabulous chemistry together. The plot really works for the story as well. It's fitting to them and their situations. The whole book takes place over like a 24 hour period, which is pretty much what all the books do. It sort of breaks the logic/realism b ...more
