Crazy for You is book #2 in the Life and Love on the Lam series by Juliet Rosetti: If you read The Escape Diaries you may have been cheering for Mazie to escape and find the real killer of her husband and for the love of Ben and Mazie.
Unfortunately, when Ben is offered a job that would require them to move, Mazie and Ben have a terrible argument that ends their relationship. Especially since Ben wants to support Mazie, but after her time in prison Mazie wants to feel more independent. But because of her time in prison her days as a school teacher are over. Now she works as a “secret shopper”, but her job will not be as easy as it sounds.
Rhonda, her boss, gives cougars a bad name and that is saying it nicely. She likes to break up marriages, seduce any man that will allow it, and sunbathes nude in her front yard. The bad thing here is that when Rhonda turns up murdered, the suspects are many and Mazie and Ben have become suspects as well, since Rhonda had just fired Mazie and Ben was the last person to see her alive.
Well things will get interesting while Mazie hides Ben from the police while trying to find the real killer. You just know that she will be going undercover and do everything she can without breaking the law to find the real killer while keeping Ben and herself out of jail.
Crazy for You is laugh out loud funny and entertaining, but I can tell you I can’t wait to find out more of Mazie’s adventures and hope that she and Ben will get back together in the future.

In the tradition of Janet Evanovich and Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Juliet Rosetti ups the ante in her laugh-out-loud funny Escape Diaries series, as Mazie Maguire must use any means necessary to keep her main squeeze out of the slammer.
Once you escape from prison and ride off into the sunset with the gorgeous guy who helped you nail a killer, you live happily ever after, right? Well, not exactly—not if you’re Mazie Maguire, and the flow chart of your life looks like a pinball machine. Mazie has broken up with her guy, Ben Labeck, she can’t pay her rent, her car is infested with mice, and she’s working at a coffee shop where the dress code is teddies, thongs, and toe-cleavage heels. Now Ben is the chief suspect in a murder investigation, and Mazie’s tapping into her fugitive wiles to keep him out of jail. Strictly as friends, she vows. No kissing, no touching, no romance. But how is Mazie supposed to keep her thoughts platonic when her “buddy” is giving her erotic back rubs, and a make-believe-we’re-newlyweds charade puts her in the mood for a wedding night?

I got a free copy from Net Gally. Started to read it and realized it was the second book in this series. I do want to read this, but I will get the first book before I read it.
