I was so excited when Ednah Walters sent me this book. My husband had the package in his hand and asked who I knew from Utah. I took the package and looked at the name and then proceeded to rip open the package open while squealing and jumping up and down like a little girl. I told my husband what it was and he just shook his head with the men's universal look of "women" on his face. Husbands, they just don't understand. :)
Ok, so down to business. I have previously read the first two of the Fitzgerald series and loved them so I was really looking forward to reading the third. I definitely was not disappointed. I liked Baron from the previous books and was looking forward to his story. He seemed like a quiet reserved person but you could just see that he had more if you dug a little deeper. I loved the person he turned out to be. Shoot, I was in love with him by the end of the book myself. I love a man that is a mystery that I have to unwrap.
I loved Kara. That poor woman had it bad for her boss but couldn't do anything about it. The logical thing to do with that situation, get out of it. So that's what she does or at least tries to do. She keeps running into a very tantalizing roadblock also known as Baron, her boss. After five years of working with him, he does a 180 and pursues her full force. Kara has no clue what is going on. Other then the one time they kissed years ago, Baron never showed any signals that he was remotely interested. Of course it doesn't take long before she starts to fall completely head over heals for Baron. But as always, there are twists that test their relationship that makes the story all the more better.
If you haven't read any of Ednah Walters' books, you need to go out right now or hop on your computer and order them. They are spectacular!

There is something special about this family. The Fitzgerald’s are vibrant, fun loving and loyal. I would be more than happy to call any one of them my friend, well maybe not Aunt Viv. Kiss Me Crazy is book three in The Fitzgerald Family series and it is a winner!!
Kara’s friend Renee does a great job explaining the appeal of Baron: “Sweetie, that man with his sculptured body, brooding blue eyes, and sinfully silky voice is every woman’s type.” He just seems to ooze sex appeal right from the start. In fact, I was feeling it from the very first moment when he was introduced in prior books. And all that appeal has been a problem for Kara. She has been attracted to Baron from the beginning and this attraction is getting in the way of her future plan and dreams. It’s time to head out on her own and she resigns from Baron’s company to start her own business.
Baron is shell shocked! His plans of wooing Kara have just been derailed. She is leaving him. Fine, see if he cares. Problem is he does care, a lot. He needs to come up with a plan to win her heart and to keep her by his side. They have something real together and he is not going to let that go to waste. With only one month to change her mind, he needs to work fast, very fast.
Baron’s plan works perfectly. He has Kara right where he wants her, then tragedy strikes. They are pulled into two different directions and it will take a little Fitzgerald family interference to get these two fools back on track.
For me, Kiss Me Crazy was a nice change of pace. The last two books have been high suspense and action. This book was all heart and heartbreak. Some readers may have a problem with Ms. Walters’ changing from her normal suspenseful storytelling to this calmer format, but I loved it! She is keeping it fresh and new. I enjoyed Baron and Kara’s journey to find each other; their ups and downs, their tragic loss and then their eventual happiness. The pacing was great, plot was refreshing, and their passion burned up the pages. I also fell more in love with this family. Which trust me is not hard to do.
Kiss Me Crazy is a fantastic story. It can be read alone or as part of the series, but I highly recommend reading the whole series. I loved this story from the first paragraph; “I quit! Now kiss me and beg me to stay.” to the last; “Your intentions are duly noted. Now, come to me.” Grinning, he joined her. I hope you will too.

Kara Michaels has always put her wants second to those she cares for. Kara has always admired her boss Baron Fitzgerald for years; however, she feels she will never get him to notice her. She needs to move on and do something for herself for a change.
When Kara decides it’s time to resign her current job and peruse a lifelong dream of owning her own business, Baron will do everything he can to convince her to stay. Falling in love was the last thing Baron expected.
Will Baron succeed in changing Kara’s mind, or will he need to let her go and let Kara follow her own path without him…
This is the third installment of the Fitzgerald Family series written by Ednah Walters. I read the first two installments and really enjoyed them; I jumped at the opportunity to review this novel when it was offered to me! In comparison to the other Fitzgerald novels, Kiss Me Crazy has a lot more romance whereas the others had more action and suspense elements. I would definitely have to say that this is my favorite in the series yet!
Each character have their own characteristics that draw you in. Kara portrayed as a strong, caring, and witty character that wears her heart on her sleeve, while Baron is charming and handsome man with mystery. With two well developed passionate characters, and a steamy plot, Ednah Walters creates a wonderful recipe for sensual romance lovers.
Ednah Walters delivers a sizzling romance novel that will leave readers wanting more. I recommend Kiss Me Crazy to those who enjoy Romance and Adult Fiction.
Must Read! Highly Recommended!

Kiss Me Crazy (The Fitzgerald Family) by E.B. Walters
Years of unrequited love get the chance to become the love of a lifetime. If heartbreaking secrets don't ruin that chance. Baron and Kara were meant to be together, but the timing never seemed to be right. Fast forward five years, a heartbreaking betrayal and an unexpected request land them on a course to happily ever after. Until the past sets about destroying their chance at a future. Behind the wealth and ambition, is a family who share a deep bond. Family first is their motto and they live by those words. Kiss Me Crazy is not overly sexual but the hint of temptation is always evident and the emotions Ms. Walters puts into it, forever shines through. Adding audio is an even greater thrill because, Ms. Gilbert gives voice to the heart of the journey with her sultry delivery and winning narrative.

Hea y'all Anne here and I am here to give my third review for Ednah Walters author of Kiss Me Crazy. Her Fitzgerald Family series is one of a kind opposed to the other Fitzgerald Family book I've read this one has a sweeter more passionate note. Who hasn't had a boos that makes you weak in the knees or swoon just at the sight? I know I have. The story is intimate and appealing to the more romantic people in the literary world. The pulse quickening love affair between Kara and Baron is the stuff that will haunt your wildest fantasies and make you wish for your very own forbidden love. Kara fights what she feels sure she isn't worthy of the type of man that is the base of her hearts desire. Baron has been crushed by letting his walls down in the past and is sure it'll happen again if he gives into his burning passion for Kara. Now there is a story line to build a intense and passionate story. Kara is forever taking care of everyone else and more than enough times puts her wants on the back burner but not for long. These characteristics are so easy to relate to for any romantic woman who just waits for her dream man to sweep her off her feet and show her how it feels to be desired, wanted, loved, and treasured. Baron opens his life to Kara inevitably trusting her with his heart, his past is blistered with tragedy and lies. Can Kara show him the faithfulness he deserves and help him sort out a long seeded trauma that may have been the biggest scandal he'll ever know? This book is sweet and endearing and captures your heart leaving you breathless and heady from the first page. Romantics over the world will fall in love with Kiss Me Crazy and crave more of The Fitzgerald Family. 5 out of 5 stars for Kiss Me Crazy by Ednah Walters. Long live romance and unrequited love, passion, and desire for the ages...

Kiss Me Crazy has a little bit of a different feel to it from the first two books in the series. First of all, we have our first Fitzgerald man in KMC, and hello Baron! *swoon* Secondly, KMC is more of a romance; much lighter on the suspense and action and much heavier on the romantic elements. Readers who enjoyed the other books for the combination may be a little disappointed, but where those areas lack, the development of the relationship between the two main characters, Kara and Baron, totally makes up for it.
I have to admit that I am a pure romantic at heart, and while I like a good romantic thriller, I love an old-fashioned love story. Ednah Walters totally delivers in this are for Kara and Baron's story. Baron is Kara's boss, and when Kara decides to leave to pursue her dreams (with the added benefit of breaking free from the disappointment of forever being invisible to Baron), Baron decides that he just can't do without her. However, falling in love with her was the last thing he expected when he set out to change her mind and win her back professionally.
There isn't a dull moment through the story. Both characters are well developed, witty, strong, and likable. I had no problem identifying with Kara and her mission, and I loved that she was strong enough to follow her heart, no matter which direction it took her and how her plans changed. Baron was every girl's dream. He was smoldering and sensual. I loved watching their relationship grow and develop. Ms. Walters delivers a story that will melt any romantic heart. I have to admit that this was my favorite of the series... so far!

Going to be having a BLOG TOUR for this book starting....Monday Nov 7th!
Stay tuned to www.forbiddenreviews.com for all the details!!!! CHANCES TO WIN BOOKS!!!
EDNAH HAS DONE IT AGAIN! I am so addicted to this series. I really am. Each book gives us a front row seat to the lives of a Fitzgerald family member. Rich, gorgeous and complicated seems to run in their blood as does passion, love, steamy hawtness and kick ass determination!
Kiss Me Crazy brings us Kara Michaels. Kara has been working for the hot, playboy Baron Fitzgerald for 5 years as an art conservator. Kara is TOP NOTCH in her line of work and has huge dreams to open her own shop. She knows it is time to stop hiding in the basement and strike out on her own. She hesitates to give Baron her notice as her long time, hidden feelings for him make her stop dead in her tracks.
Baron is nothing less than complicated. Broken up with his ex fiancee' 5 years ago, Baron is unattached and plans to stay that way. He runs his business with an iron fist and his personal life the same way. Kara always thought there was a spark between her and Baron but he never took it any further than their private talks in the basement where she works. She knows he will be more than supportive of her new adventure however not seeing him in the office is going to be a hard move to make.
A less than miraculous trip to Idaho will determine the fate of Kara, Baron and the whole universe (ok not the whole universe but it sure feels that way when you get to this point of the book. IT IS INTENSE!!!!) Will Kara get the man? Will she open her new store and lose her heart? GO READ NOW!! This book is insanely good. It keeps you turning the pages very quickly!! I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out!!!

Momentan "arbeite" ich mich durch die gesamte Reihe hindurch und ich muss sagen, dass mich bisher wirklich kein Buch der Reihe um die Fitzgeralds enttäuscht hat. Im Gegenteil, bisher bin ich bei jedem Band sicher, dass ich ihn noch diverse Male lesen werde, einfach, weil mir sowohl die Stories als auch die Personen unwahrscheinlich gut gefallen.
Die Charaktere zeichnet aus, dass sie alle, jeder auf seine Weise, einzigartig und interessant sind. Sie sind authentisch, natürlich und die Autorin schafft es immer wieder, sie zu keinem Zeitpunkt ins Klischee abrutschen zu lassen. Wenn sie Fehler machen, bekennen sie sich dazu und versuchen, die Dinge in Ordnung zu bringen, sie benutzen ihren Verstand und sie versuchen, ihrem jeweiligen Partner den nötigen Raum zu geben und ihn nicht zu erdrücken.
Auch die Männer, die in der Regel durchaus einen ausgeprägten Beschützerinstinkt haben, schaffen es, sich so weit zurückzunehmen, dass sie Entscheidungen und Freiräume ihrer Partnerinnen respektieren.
Baron Fitzgerald und Kara Michaels, die Protagonisten dieses Buches, machen hierbei keine Ausnahme. Kara, eine junge, erfolgreiche Restaurateurin, arbeitet seit fünf Jahren in Barons Kunstgalerie, doch nun möchte sie sich selbstständig machen. Das war allerdings in Barons Plan nicht vorgesehen, im Gegenteil, seine Planung sah vor, dass er nun, demnächst, dann endlich mal anfängt, Kara den Hof zu machen. Nun muss er alle Register ziehen, um Kara doch noch für sich zu gewinnen....
Die Geschichte ist gut geschrieben und fesselte mich wie auch die anderen Bände vorher, von der ersten Seite an, so dass ich das Buch nur noch aus der Hand legte, wenn es sich wirklich gar nicht vermeiden ließ.
Ich kann auch diesen Band der Reihe auf jeden Fall empfehlen!

You can see the following review also here: http://loveandlivetoread.wordpress.co...
It’s a little difficult for me to write this review. Why? Because although I enjoyed reading this story, it didn’t have any mystery and it was just about the relationship between Baron and Kara. Don’t get me wrong. I like romances a lot but even the romance was light. but let’s start from beginning.
Kara, after working for Baron and wanting him for five years, decides that it’s a good time to start her own business. Baron wants her for far too long but he has some trust issues and now he is willing to do anything to not let her go.
I liked Kara but sometimes the fact that she puts her needs under everyone’s else was getting on my nerves. Making decisions isn’t her best asset but now she’s determined. Also, although she has may friends, she’s not the sharing type.
Baron… He’s sexy, smart and successful but he’s the king of procrastination! For five years he wanted Kara and he didn’t say anything! I have to say that I liked him a lot but he made a stupid decision near the end of the book and no matter how hard he tried to justify himself, he wasn’t convincing. Nevertheless, because of the HEA, I forgive him!
It was a nice story but to be honest, I really miss the mystery that the previous books had. The good thing is that I like the Fitzgerald family and I want to read more about them!

My Thoughts: Ednah Walters has created a wonderful world of romance and passion in “Kiss Me Crazy“. This book had me swooning one minute and butterflies in my tummy the next. Kara has been in love with her boss for a long time, but she fights it. After always putting everyone ahead of herself and her wants, Kara decides to take the next step. She hands in her notice to make her dream of owning her own business come true. Baron has secretly longed for Kara and was on the verge of making a move when Kara dropped the bomb about her resignation. Now Baron will do anything to show her just how much he wants her in every aspect. I loved this book. For some reason I've always been drawn to the stories of falling for the boss. The fact is that Ednah had me falling in love with Baron myself. I was smiling at every turn of the page and my breath was even hitching at moments. This book is number 3 in the series, but can be read as a stand alone. Each of the Fitzgerald crew make an appearance and a l’il rehash of their background is said so a new reader wouldn’t be lost . This book has it all for the pure romantics at heart, passion, intensity, romance and tons of swooning. By the end, you will be wanting the next in the Fitzgerald family right then and there. I can’t wait to see what’s in store next for the Slow Burning, Mine Until Dawn (a.k.a. all night long) Fitzgerald clan that can Kiss Me Crazy all they want.

Every book I read in this series is better than the last! These books are so exciting, thrilling and a sexy hit at the same time! This book is a romantic suspense / thriller! Lots of action, lots of questions that in the end get answered. I absolutely loved this book! I love the whole series so far. We are now on book 3 of the Fitzgerald Family Series. This story is about Baron Fitzgerald finding the love of his life and messing it up like most men do! Kara is a pistol and isn't going to play 2nd fiddle to anyone!
The author, EB Walters does yet another superb job on this book! I LOVE her style of writing. It wasn't too long ago I won the entire series of the Fitzgerald Family in audiobooks and I am loving this author! Ms Walters has a way of capturing our hearts and keeping us captive as the stories unfold. I am never disappointed. The narrator, Valerie Gilbert does a great job delivering this story to us once again. I love all the voices and accents she uses along with so many emotions. This series is so worth listening to , EVEN IF you already read the books! Audiobooks take on a life of their own, kind of like watching a movie with your back to it, so you can only hear what happens.

Ms. Walters does it again. She makes me fall more in love with this family with every single book. I love that this one doesn’t really have the suspense and it’s just the complications that could happen to anyone in real life that cause the conflict in the story. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the first two books, but I don’t know if I could handle a whole series where something drastic happens in every one. There’s only so many psychos to attack one family.
Kara is a sweetheart and deserves Baron. Baron is also a sweetie, he’s just a stubborn male, but at least he listens to his mother. Once she sets him on the right track, he makes up for lost time.
I’m glad that Ms. Walters didn’t focus too much on the villainess in this story. She so wasn’t worth the page space she could’ve taken up. What a witch. Its women like her that make men awful to good women. I don’t know how Baron moves on and is able to trust anyone ever again. Valerie threw him for a loop, that’s for sure. I was so proud of Kara and the way stood up for herself. I couldn’t have stood by like that either.

The first time the male protagonist started angsting because his ex had an abortion, I frowned. The second time, I started getting cranky (SHE KILLED MY BABY THAT WAS AN UNWANTED FETUS IN HER BODY). But then literally EVERYONE kept referring to even the thought of abortion as BABY MURDER. BABY MURDERERS. YOU CAN'T KILL YOUR BABY.
Then they introduce the female protagonist's mother and sister, and they were just such weird awkward strawmannish portrayals of IRRESPONSIBLE SELFISH ABORTION-LOVERS that I couldn't take it anymore. Like... seriously? You're yelling at your sister about how selfish and irresponsible she is AND YOUR SOLUTION TO THIS IS TO MAKE HER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIFE OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. I DON'T. I CAN'T. WHAT.
Like... maybe later on in the book that gets resolved in a way that would not squick me out. But it squicked me hard. So I stopped reading halfway through, and I regret nothing except maybe starting it in the first place.

I was lucky enough to be in the Kiss Me Crazy blog tour and get a copy to review. Ednah Walters has to be one of my favorite Indi authors, her story telling really sweeps you off your feet and takes you on a thrilling ride.
Kiss Me Crazy just blew me away, I just couldn't put this book down. I must admit I've been in a reading slump for a few weeks now and couldn't get myself out of it, but when KMC arrived in the mail I was so excited to dive right in. Thanks to Ednah's amazing, sexy, passionate filled story, I can proudly say that I've been brought out of my slump.
If your looking for a heart pounding, toe curling romance story than this Fitzgerald book is for you (book 3 in the series). In order they are Slow Burn, Mine Until Dawn & Kiss Me Crazy these 3 books are an amazing series.

kiss me crazy by ednah walters
in this book of the family we again are in the art world but a different aspect of it. really cool when they paint murals on the walls. this one has
a big twist when a 10 year old murder is brought up and attempted to be solved with new information that does come out in spurts. The love and family scenes are also welcome reading. The escape for me
is when they travel to ones' hometown and are given a back door guided tour. makes it seem like i'm there with them. and the long trek to the mountain house to do some work and have some play time was also
a most welcome trip, to yet another place i've never been in my travels. Love the escape this series brings me and the strong family oriented family and relationships. Can't wait for more.

When you devour a book within 24 hours of starting it, what does that tell you? Good you say? Oh no, no, no... Amazingly well written, sexy hot scenes, romance between the characters, suspense at every turn of the page and a thrilling ride! That's what you get when you pick up a book by Ednah Walters! There is no turning back once you start and there is nothing stopping you from finishing the book, wanting more and never having enough all the while wondering what else does she have in store for me. I loved, loved, loved this book! A must read series, once you start there's no turning back!

Loved these fantastic characters... I am definitely planning to back track to read the first 2 books in this series. The Fitzgerald's are a raucous and fun-loving family. They have just enough drama to keep things interesting, but have each others back at the end of the day.
This 3rd book in the series was a freebie on Amazon - probably best read in order, but I wasn't at all lost in the story and I was just fine reading it out of order.

I have read three stories in this series and they just get better. This one is more concentrated on the romance and less on the crime aspect, and I have to say this is the best of them in my opinion. The wonderfully detailed settings,the incredibly descriptive pieces in the story and the amazing characters all go toward making this writer a truly talented author. I really love this series I hope there's more to come.

i absolutely love the Fitzgerald family series, all of the 3 books have a totally different story but they have one thing in common is that in the end the family always comes first and their always supporting the characters, be it Ashley, Jade or Baron! :)
Cant wait for the next book :)

I won this book in a giveaway contest. I'm glad I did, this was a great romance book. Now, I just have to go get the first 2 books in the series. I love it when I find new authors that I like, I guess that's what the giveaways are for, and it worked.

This book was good but not great. I think I had my hopes up from reading all of the reviews. I wouldn't say it was a waste of time it just could have been better. I never felt like I truly connected with the characters. On to find the next winner.

I really liked this book. It was full of true romance, not just lust ... Although there was that too. I also liked how the man was realistic in that he totally screws things up. I definitely recommend this book.

Great read
Baron and Kara are just as sexy as the other Fitzgerald couples! This book definitely had the emotional twists and turns of the first 2 books in the series, but not quite as much action, however the book doesn't read as lacking anything. I enjoyed it a lot.

I love the fitzgerald family series! I loved the passion and the chemistry between Kara and Baron. Maybe there is no such action as in the previous book but keeps you in suspense
