About those McGreer's...hard-working boys endeavoring to deserve the women they crave, my lifelong fascination with the American West is media and travel driven. As a six year old, I regularly tuned into "Big Valley" for a dose of Barbara Stanwyck's tough, outspoken "Virginia Barclay". Heck, how did she get those big, strapping boys to behave?? Second grade riding lessons on a paint pony Beauregard and Johnny and Jane West's paperboard ranch provide the setting for all of my cowgirl fantasies, competently executed via heroines Tess, Daisy, Daphne, Luanne, Janie and Lindsay.....

I really liked the characters of Hank and Daisy.
I like that Daisy is tough and not really into romance. Hank is so sweet the way he pursues her.
I didn't want it to end! I wish it was longer, more the length of Crashing intoCrashing Into Tess Tess
This is the second in a series. I read McGreer's #3 and liked it Right KInda BullRight Kinda Bull ,too.

The heroes are all super good guys, the love scenes are spicy, and the settings and problems realistic,

Western Romance and cow-girl chick lit haven't fallen into my hands before, but after reading this sweaty-and-sweet novella my reader-radar has been broadened forever! I found myself loving the authentic cowgirl element, it gave this steamy love-story a great, fast-paced setting. The characters are well-rounded and loveable - I admired the strength of fiery Daisy and swooned over Hank's sweet soul! The secondary characters have found a place in my heart too... here's cheers to Crazy on Daisy and the next in the McGreers Series!!

LOVED this excerpt! Daisy is a super cute heroine, ornery and guarded.......Who but Hank could be the sweetie to break down her defenses? Romance Author Lilly Christine promises to have this one out on Kindle by February 3......what a fun Valentine's Day read it will be! Rereading "Crashing Into Tess" beforehand!

Crazy on Daisy is a great followup after Crashing into Tess. Both stories can be read standalone but after reading the first you want to know more about other characters in the book. The author has an interesting writing style which pulls you in and makes you feels your right there cheering on each moment.

Daisy Antelerone has lost everything, her ranch, her parents; but she keeps her sights on winning the Texas Rodeo Barrel Racing title. After her trucks breaks down, she has no choice but to depend on the boy next store for help, even though he's ruined her life.

Hank Gallagher is a successful rancher. He's been in love with Daisy, since they were kids. Hank has such enduring patience that you can't help but fall in love with him. I love the sass, and great chemistry between Hank and Daisy. And then there's Daisy's sister....can't wait for her story. Crazy on Daisy is a great read, you'll love it!

This book is written by Lilly Christine. It is McGreers #2 and the story of Daisy and Hank.
Daisy has lost her ranch, lost her Mom, buried her Dad, and her truck is broken. She really wants to win the Texas Rodeo Barrel Racing Champion title. She has to risk it all to win.
Hank is a successful rancher with a huge heart. He has been "crazy on Daisy" since they were little. He tries so hard to fix things between himself and Daisy. His heart belongs to her already, but his brain is thinking twice about it.
Love this story of Hank and Daisy. He truly loves her and would do anything for her, even if it means walking away. Daisy fights with herself about what she feels for Hank and the family drama that is involved. Things need explained, fixed and settled before they can both be ready for the other. I really recommend this book.

I read "Right Kinda Bull' Right Kinda Bull before this one, but reading out of sequence was okay. It was fun to see Ty as Daisy's boss. Love the characters in this sweet, tender story. Also, liked the love scenes; spicy and honest. The characters are younger than Jake and Tess in Lilly Christine's Crashing Into Tess and pretty different: Daisy's background could not be more different from Tess's.

I really liked tough, gritty Daisy, especially the way her childhood relationship with Hank is depicted.

[Jennifer Ann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great novella, very well written. This was only my second or third western romance ever, and I found myself enjoying the sweet innocence of these southern characters. It was refreshing to see a heroine who is hesitant to let herself fall for a guy because she's more concerned over her future. I look forward to reading more about Daisy and Hank in the future.

Not my typical read, but Crazy on Daisy had me from the first few pages. I enjoyed this book so much I didn't want it to end. The story tugs on the heartstrings. A roller coaster of fun and emotions, with a lot of sexy spice added to the mix! If you are looking for a book that will make you laugh and turn you on, this is a great one to do it. Love this playful romp!

[Mrs. Garen L. Herd · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good read

Love me those cowboys and barrel racers. But, the dialogue is a little clipped. The rest of the words flow pretty well. Sorry line is pretty good.

Crazy on Daisy (McGreers #2)

When you are a child anything is possible and you can love your best friend. However, as you grow up people change and things happen. When Daisy and Hank were young they always were together. As they grow up things change.
Daisy has just lost her Dad and her Mom has been gone for a while all she has left is her sister and her barrel racing. As she leaves for her first rodeo of the season her truck breaks down. Hank is on his way to the same rodeo and see her on the side of the road. He offers her a ride to the rodeo. She accepts and her worries start.
Hank has always liked Daisy and now he can help her. He wants more than the cold shoulder she has been giving him for the last few years. Not sure what happened to their friendship he is going to change it back. He knows that she does not have much and wants to do everything he can to help. But the more time he spends with her the more he questions if he is good enough for her.
Will they end up together or will they lose everything?
I loved this boo and I will be reading the next book.

Crazy on Daisy a good read

Crazy on Daisy is as must read!!! It takes into the world of Hank and Daisy and Daisy's sister Daphne.
Daisy is a barrel racer, and she's damn good. But, she's been putting off school. Thank happens to be her neighboring ranch. They grew up together. But, years ago Daisy just started to ignore him, and talk mean my to him. When Bank's parents are away they learn there's more there than just a spark. There's an under current of sexual tension between them. And true love if they give it a chance, and put the bad blood behind them. This a definite great read. Lots of misunderstandings, very sweet sex scenes as the author pulls you into the world of the McGreers, and get to know the family. Hank and Daisy are a piece of work that you shouldn't pass up. So grab a copy (paper back or e-book) and sit back and enjoy a great read!!,

I am so reading this series out of order, not on purpose either :) Daisy and Hank grew up as childhood friends until Hank's dad did Daisy's dad wrong. Hank has always cared for Daisy but she couldn't get past his father's anger and blamed Hank for years. Once she started to see Hank as his own man while he was doing his utmost to get the closeness back, their chemistry soared. Hot in the saddle as a barrel racer and hotter in the sheets with Hank. I didn't want to put this book down once i started it. Lilly Christine did a fantastic job writing this story. Read #4, just finished #2, on to #3 then hopefully I can get caught up with #1 & 5.

I really enjoyed this novella. It is a wonderful combination of fun characters, romance and humor that made for a very enjoyable read. The interaction between the characters certainly added to the story. This is the first that I have read by this author, but certainly look forward to reading more by her.

[Natalie Alder · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think it's unanimous that Hank is awesome. The push and pull between them draws you in and has you rooting for them. This story has very peripheral ties to the McGreers though appears to set up for more of the family's inclusion in future books (which is not a bad thing, just an observation). The pace was more steady than slow, but there were slow moments.

[Donna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thank you to the GoodReads FirstReads program for the gift of this book, an enjoyable weekend read. I thought it needed another 50 pages of plot. Not to mention Daisy's recovery was damned near miraculous. I know someone who had a head injury of this sort and she was nowhere fit for barrel racing after a couple of weeks.

[Christine Rimmer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delightful, authentic, tender, funny, sexy and heartfelt. I loved this story and will look for more by Lilly Christine.
