Chaos
Drex and I weren’t two of a kind. We more closely resembled the rare one-eyed Jack’s or suicide kings of the deck. The wild cards people often overlooked, tucking them into the pile, without ever giving them a second glance. Never knowing how truly special they could be, if paired correctly.
Honestly, we were simply two lonely souls, trying to find direction.
When I thought my story had reached its finale, his had merely began. I’d fought for so long to barely survive that I had entirely forgotten what it meant to live. Drex was my reminder.
Somethings happened without reason and some reasons never made sense. This was how it was between the two of us. I never knew from one second to the next what to expect. Except the unexpected, that was. I learned to accept what I couldn’t change and to grow with what I could.
There were more than enough reasons why we shouldn’t be together, but certain things in this world were unstoppable. Natural disasters. Death. Drex and me. Apart, each were abrupt and life changing, but when they intertwined, only one outcome was foreseeable. Beautiful chaos.

Wow
First, let me say this book was nothing like I thought it was going to be, yet more than I could’ve imagined. Beautifully battered story. A must read if you love all the feels.

Chaos is just what this story is, except that it is … beautifully chaotic. Chelle Craze lacerated my heart and then oh so carefully, pieced it back together.
Eris is a mother, a friend, a daughter and most definitely .. heartbroken. In her young life, she has gone through so much and how she continues to go on, is of wonderment. Eris is a beautiful soul, inside and out. During her daily waitressing routine, she meets a new customer, Drex. Their first encounter is hilarious. She knew from the moment that she said “Hello, my name is” that he was a piece of work. Grumpy, yet oh so gorgeous. This beautiful bearded man had something going on internally and she itched to know what it was.
Drex knew his first interaction with Eris was rude. He knew that he came across as a jerk and he would figure out how to fix it. The turmoil that Drex has going on is his excuse to be the way that he is, but can Eris pull him out of it? They say that opposites attract, and this is quite literally Eris and Drex. They can help heal each other’s soul. Lord knows they need healing.
Blueberry pancakes are something of great significance in this story and you will get to see why. The way that these two bicker and fight cracks me up. The banter is spot on! Pick up your copy today and be prepared to swim in a world of beautiful Chao

This story is so well written it is scary. Scary in the best of ways. This author brings together two people who never should have met, not once but twice. The first meeting also being the reason they may not be able to stand. My heart and emotions were just tore up reading this and gently put back together. The pain and anguish is palpable and understood in both cases, their ways of handling it? Well she runs and he drinks.
A beautifully written story of pain and loss, healing and forgiveness, redemption from the weight and burden of guilt. You will laugh, you may even cry. You might even agree that he is a 'dick" and she is a "sh$t". My first read of a full book from this author and I will be back for more.

I won this ARC from a blog website. I am so glad I did. I absolutely loved this book! I couldn’t put it down. I loved Eris and Drex. Their story is so unique among so many love stories out their. Eris is running away from a tragedy that many women face but her story is so heartbreaking. It brought tears to my eyes while reading this. Drex, who is often called The Dick through the book is this hard to know man with a problem that no one wants to talk about. Amazing story that made me laugh so hard at times I was crying and yet cry uncontrollably. Great writing and relatable characters. I can’t wait to read more in this series!!

5 Plus Stars!!!! Chaos is hands down the best book Chelle has written!! I was instantly pulled into this book and only put it down to sleep, which I didn’t want to do! There is so much emotion in this book, that you literally don’t know if you want to laugh or cry. You may feel like your heart is breaking at times, but Chelle puts it back together in the best way possible!! I highly recommend this book!!!

Chelle C. Craze does an amazing job bringing beautifully tragic characters and stories to live. Chaos was no exception.
Two very broken people find their way to one another, things happen sort of like a match and gasoline. Things become explosive. Chaotic. But nothing is as it seems.
When the truth is exposed they're left questioning everything.
The heartbreak in this story is very real. Very beautiful. And it goes to show you just how much love can prevail.

Loved it
I absolutely loved Eris and Drex's story. They were both dealing with past demons that bring them together in more than one way. I don't want to give spoilers. I would highly recommend it to other readers. It definitely was a tear jerker for me.

Drew and Eris are two broken souls who come together in several events, and hate each other but still managed to fall in love even with tragedy looming in each other’s past! Love this book!

A new to me author. I went into the story blind...and wow. What a journey. Two totally devastated characters that together, somehow make a whole. This was a beautifully written and painful story. If you're looking for rainbows and unicorns - keep looking. This story is tragic, it is heartbreaking but it is also healing too. The story drew in me from page one and the connection...never would have guessed that.

Meh!
I didn't care for this book. It was slow and boring and dragged on. I won't be reading anymore. Just not for me!
