Crazy Little Town Called Love
2019 International Book Awards Finalist in WOMEN'S FICTION. Get ready for relatable stories for and about women in book two in Jill Hannah Anderson's best selling "The To Hell-And-Back Club" series.
Thirty-two-year-old Molly’s cushy life in Minneapolis tanks when her long-time boyfriend bails on her and their underwater-mortgaged home.
She needs a place to live and a new job—and the answer to both may be in a quaint town called Love. The town where her deceased mother grew up, a town where an old General Store and home have been willed to Molly’s family…a town with secrets and people with long memories.
Can she trade her acrylic nails for pounding nails to revive a fixer-upper store? Molly is ready for a do-over and a chance to prove to herself that she can make it on her own.
She puts elbow grease, heart, and half her savings, into giving the old place a facelift. As her business grows, so does her relationship with Jackson—the owner of the hardware store—and great-nephew to the woman who willed her business to Molly’s family.
The tourist town of Love brims with quirky townspeople and fun events. And it is at one of these events that Molly is first threatened.
Apparently, not everyone is happy to have her in town. As threats against her escalate, Molly has to decide if she’d be better off leaving Love or staying to fight for the life she’s created in the town that has stolen her heart.

4 love-filled stars to Crazy Little Town Called Love! 💗 💗 💗 💗
Don’t let those cute heart emojis or the adorable title fool you, Molly has a difficult story to tell. She’s thirty-two and has found herself at an abrupt crossroads. Not only did her long-term boyfriend leave, he left her in possible financial ruin.
Luckily for Molly, she finds respite and a new start in a lovely town called, of all things, Love. Molly’s deceased mother grew up in Love, and a home and a General Store in need of some TLC have been willed to her. Love isn’t as quaint as it first appears. This town has secrets and its own share of heartache.
Molly throws herself into fixing up the store, and the town of Love becomes its own character in the story; there are fun people to love and different events and happenings, along with those secrets I mentioned earlier. Eventually, Molly begins receiving cryptic threats, and she has to decide if she should leave Love and her new life and love she’s found behind.
Crazy Little Town Called Love is book two in The To-Hell-and-Back Club series; however, it stands very much on its own. The “Hell Club” is for women to support other women who have also experienced tremendous loss. Molly certainly has had her share. I enjoyed getting to know her and watching her grow stronger while living and working in Love. This book is cozy and inviting, with a dab of mystery and a charming touch of love.
Thank you to the author for the copy. Crazy Little Town Called Love will be published on July 11, 2018!

IMG_4960MY REVIEW OF “CRAZY LITTLE TOWN CALLED LOVE” BY JILL HANNAH ANDERSON, Panda Moon Publishing , 2018
Jill Hannah Anderson, Author of “Crazy Little Town Called Love”has described her quaint town, and colorful cast of characters in such a vivid way, that I am ready to pack my bags to look for a town just like Love. Can you picture a heart-shaped lake and a town with neighborly folks? “Crazy Little Town Called Love” is a delightful, charming, endearing, and entertaining read. The Genres for this novel are Fiction, Women’s Fiction, Mystery and Romance. This is the second book in the “Hell and Back club Series,” but is a stand alone. The timeline of the story is in the present and goes to the past only when it pertains to the events or characters in the story.
The author describes most of her characters as likable, neighborly and helpful. Some of the characters have questionable motives, and are complex and complicated. There are deep buried secrets from the past that have caused pain in the past and changes and surprises in the future.
Did you ever hear the expression when “one door closes, another opens?” Thirty- two -year -old Molly has to leave her comfortable and cushy life in Minneapolis, when her boyfriend of seven years, not only leaves the relationship, but leaves her in debt with a mortgage and other expenses. Molly has been dependent on Nick, and after he betrays her, she is desperate to find where she belongs.
Molly has inherited a run-down store and house that was left to her Mother, in the quaint town of Love. She is determined to find herself and run the store. At first many of the residents are overly cautious , because of past history with Molly’s grandfather. Molly certainly will have to prove herself. As Molly makes new friends, she also finds she is being threatened by someone who wants her to leave. After a frightening warning, Molly’s house is trashed, and things go missing. Each incident becomes more dangerous and threatening. Why is this happening, and who is responsible for wanting Molly to leave?
I appreciate that the author discusses the importance of family, neighbors, friends, love and hope. The author also mentions the importance of loyalty, strength, growth, communication, hard work and determination. I would recommend this novel to readers that enjoy the Genres of Fiction, Mystery and Romance.

Crazy Little Town Called Love is a compellingly heartfelt book about starting over and finding our true home. When Molly is very unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend, she thinks she’s lost everything...her house, her car, her designer clothes and the guy. She suddenly finds herself in a tiny town, owner of a rundown house and general store. For the first time in her life, Molly has nobody to rely on but herself...she’s scared but determined to prove she can succeed! I loved watching Molly grow and change, from city girl to small town girl, from manicures to hands that get roughened with hard work, from someone dependent on others to someone who has to reinvent her life. Molly’s story is heartwarming and poignant and filled with love.

I loved this book! I started it and couldn't put it down. I am anxiously awaiting Book #3 in the To - Hell-And-Back Club series.
Thank you, Jill, for another fun read!

Crazy Little Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson is a keeper! Anderson was a new-to-me author but she has won my devotion by writing a superb story I am sure to re-read again in the future! This is the ultimate comfort book. Then novel is about a woman who is thrust from a life full of riches to a simpler small town existence. The town of Love is rife with mystery, long-lost secrets, and someone who bears a grudge. The themes of independence, friendship, and learning to build trust are apparent throughout the story. This is a stand alone novel, but is book 2 in Anderson’s To-Hell-and-Back-Club. I will be sure to read book 1! Fans of Christine Nolfi’s Sweet Lake series are sure to love Crazy Little Town Called Love!

A charming book that takes place in a small town. A great read from page one! This book has it all - humor, romance, mystery, drama and best of all, friendship. I highly recommend Crazy Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson.

I want to thank Jill Hannah Anderson for the opportunity to read this book! This was a fun and great read for me. Molly's longtime boyfriend leaves her stranded with a too big house and financial obligations that he bails out on. Molly decides it's time for her to start over in a little town called Love. She packs what little she has and moves. Will she be accepted into this tight knit little community or will things go from bad to worse? Will she win over the people and fit in as part of their community? I had to keep reading from the first word to the very last....I had to know what happens. I love the creative word pictures this author writes in this novel. I had lots of laughs at some of the phrases and sentences. This is one of them, Molly says, "Mmmmmm, this is good." as I mowed my way through my first plate. " That tickled me. This is a story with humor, love, mystery, forgiveness, sacrifice, secrets, bonds of friendships and acceptance. I am so glad I decided to take the trip to the Crazy Little Town of Love. I highly recommend taking this trip! Great book!
May 18, 2018
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Last week was a hectic week and I wanted a light mystery and a sweet story so Crazy Little Town Called Love was perfect. Molly’s spunk and determination to remake her life was energizing and reminds the reader that hard times don’t last if you keep going! I haven’t read the To Hell And Back Club and so it is now at the top of my TBR list!
May 24, 2018
I enjoyed this book....it flowed with ease, it was a real page turner, and had great characters. It has drama, it has mystery, it has friendships, and it has love. Looking forward to continuing with the series. I recommend this book to all readers, it’s a great beach read.
I was given this book by the author for a honest review....thank you Jill for a afternoon of entertainment.

Molly dusts off her pride and heads out to a CRAZY LITTLE TOWN CALLED LOVE (PandaMoonPublishing) in the second book in Jill Hannah Anderson's series, THE TO HELL AND BACK CLUB. Nick single-handedly implodes their six-year relationship, forcing Molly to make some huge lifestyle changes. With no real career or boyfriend and a big fat mortgage to pay, Molly decides to downsize. She changes everything and buys a General Store willed to her mother. At thirty-two, Molly leaves behind the Twin Cities and her one BFF to start a new life out in the sticks. No sweat, huh?
Well it takes no time for the locals to realize they've got a city-slicker in town, but she does have a local connection so that makes it somewhat easier. First step is to bring "Love's General Store," affectionately known as "Rosie's," after her dead mom's "mom," up to working order. She needs to do some fixing up and painting as well as getting eatable food on the shelves. Of course, we have a male, that turns her life into a living hell, while looking absolutely delicious.
Much like her first novel, THE TO HELL AND BACK CLUB, Jill has a special gift for creating characters readers like, and story lines we can relate to. CRAZY LITTLE TOWN CALLED LOVE is like midwest comfort food, perhaps a nice hot plate with a nice bottle of merlot. There's nothing too heavy or controversial, just people not getting along due to a bunch of misunderstandings and eventually the girl gets the guy, or is it, the guy gets the girl?
I can't help but get the feeling after reading Jill's novels, that she's read a lot of fellow-Minnesotan, Lorna Landvik. And that's a very good thing!

CRAZY LITTLE TOWN CALLED LOVE BY Jill Hannah Anderson is the second book in the author’s The To-Hell-And-Back Club series. I loved THE TO-HELL-AND-BACK CLUB and couldn’t wait to read the next book. CRAZY LITTLE TOWN CALLED LOVE is a wonderfully-written and captivating story of love, family and second chances. In this book, the main character, Molly, is dumped by her long-time boyfriend, Nick and left with a big mortgage, no furniture and a job that will not allow her to make ends meet. Uprooted and without a real plan for her future, Molly escapes to the small town of Love, Minnesota where her late mother grew up to re-open a quaint general store that her mother mysteriously inherited. Although she tries hard to fit in with the locals, it soon becomes clear that someone in Love does not want her around. The characters are quirky and so well-portrayed that I felt like I knew them all. The plot has just the right amount of mystery and suspense, along with a bit of romance and a big dose of family secrets. I thoroughly enjoyed this charming book with its strong messages of friendship, hope and empowerment. I highly recommend it!

First, I would like to thank Jill Hannah Anderson and PandaMoon Publishing for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Crazy Little Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson is the sequel to her amazing first book The Hell-and-Back Club. If you have not read that book it is a must read!! This book I feel though could be read as a stand alone rather than in order.
I am very moved and honored to see my Heidilynn’s BookReviews name/service in the Acknowledgements in Jill’s book. I feel extremely blessed to be reading and reviewing for Jill Hannah Anderson and PandaMoon Publishing.
So many times in this book did my heart go out to Molly!! Her boyfriend leaving her, members of the community harassing her by telling her you don’t belong here, etc.
I loved the friendship that was slowly building up between Jackson and Molly. However, Jackson is cautious because he always jumps into things too fast and Molly just getting over Nick. However, the chemistry is there.
I loved the small town setting of Love. The characters that would come into Rosie’s shop that now Molly was taking over I loved.

Jill Hannah Anderson has written a very interesting novel that will keep the reader turning the pages. CRAZY LITTLE TOWN CALLED LOVE is Book 2 to THE TO-HELL-AND-BACK CLUB series. It deals with family issues, secrets, mystery mixed with danger, and romance. At times, it could be a little intense, but it added to the mix, which I enjoyed. The genres for this novel are Women’s Fiction, Mystery and Romance.
Molly O’Brien inherits a General Store and home in a small town in Love, Minnesota. It’s perfect timing as her crappy boyfriend of six years, Nick, leaves her along with the mortgage on their house. With nothing really left for her, her wheels start turning, and she decides to move to Love and start a new life. Love is also where her late mother grew up. Can she really do this? Can she leave her cushy life behind where she had the best of everything and start all over? It takes a woman of guts, determination and power to leave it and move forward no matter what lies ahead and what the costs are. As she navigates running her business and getting acquainted with the town and its neighbors, she begins to find out that someone is out to destroy what she has inherited, but who? As all of this is taking place, there’s one person who cares about her well-being. Jackson, first an enemy, then friend, and then warm and romantic lover, is who has her best interests at heart. Even though Molly is an independent woman and doesn’t want to rely on a man, Jackson gets where she’s coming from.
With the danger and horrifying circumstances that take place in this novel, one thing stands out---Molly’s happiness. In the long run, Molly’s strength, persistence and tenacity are what led her to her happiness, and she did it by staying the course. She didn’t run. She didn’t move back to her old town. This one sentence made perfect sense to me, “We were responsible for our own happiness. I couldn’t help him, but I could help myself.” Boom! When you want to help yourself, you have everything, and that’s what leads to your happiness.
What I love about Anderson’s novels is that she writes about women’s issues that are real and anyone of us could face. There’s no fluff. What you see is what you get. Her characters are very real too and draw the reader in. Once again, she made me cry at the very end. Her writing is powerful, and I urge you to read this book. I’m also definitely looking forward to her third book.

A crazy Little Town Called Love is the second book in Jill Hannah Anderson’s To-Hell-And-Back Club Series. Even though this is book #2 it can very well be read as a standalone. This was a great read right from the first page. I sat down planning on only reading for about an hour two hours later I was still engrossed in this book. This book has humor, friendship, drama and keeps you interested. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. I highly recommend reading this book if you have not yet. You will not be disappointed.

My bags are packed and I’m ready to move to Love! Jill Hannah Anderson you have managed to make this absolutely through and through southern girl think snow might not be too bad in a small town.
What a wonderful love story with a mystery thrown in that made me smile, tear up and try to figure out what was going on in this wonderful town!
Thank you Jill Hannah Anderson and her publisher for providing a copy of this book for my honest review! Love it and can’t wait for the next book in the To Hell and Back series!

Even though this book is part of a series, it can completely stand by itself. I haven’t read the first one but I read this one with no confusion.
That being said, I loved this book! I loved the suspense, the romance, and especially the characters. I want to live in Love and be friend with Tracie, Charleee,Molly, and Ernie. The quirks that were drawn into this small town really made Love come to life.

I just could not put this book down, I am so sad I am done with it. I can see a third book taking place after this one . I sure hope so. It reminded me of my little town up north. It was a love story that was pulled at my heart strings. I had so many emotions, from bats getting in your home, the cat even played a role in it for me. From the small little town taking awhile to get to know you and to becoming great friends. You can picture yourself walking down the beach, getting involved in the activities the town holds for fun. This book is a must read. I just cant say enough about it.

Have you ever gotten a phone call, a letter, a text, anything that has changed your life in a matter of minutes? In Crazy Little Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson Molly receives a phone call from her best friend Ella informing her that there is a moving truck in font of her house. Molly runs out of her hair appointment, tin foil still in hair, to find her long term boyfriend is moving their furniture out of the house they are mortgaging together. He leaves and she is faced with a mortgage, car payment, and the fact that her job won’t be able to support her through all of this. What else is Molly to do but sell most of her possessions, default on her mortgage, and turn her life upside down. Her life becomes scary, unpredictable, steamy, and sometime hilarious.
This is not a book I would have typically picked up if I were left to my own devices, but I loved this book! I could not get enough of Molly’s story. I was hooked from the first page, I needed to know how everything ended. All of the characters were credible, very well planned, I felt like there were people that I would meet on the side of the road. I related to a lot of the characters, mainly Molly, because I had been in a relationship just like hers and it ended very similarly. That made me hate her boyfriend even more, it made me root for Molly like we were the same person.
My favorite part of the book is the relationships that Molly forges in her new community. I love how Molly overcame the opinions of others and even her own fear of failure. The only problem I had with this amazing book is how the sub-stories were resolved so quickly, almost as if they were an after thought. Even with that, I loved this book and will be recommending it to everyone.
Crazy Little Town Called Love was given to me as an ARC in return for my honest review. I give this book a rating or 4.5!!!! Be sure to buy this book when it comes out in July!!!!

This book started out as a cozy romance and took many twists and turns to bring it to a delightful end! I fell in Love with the characters and loved the added mystery. Truly a wonderful book!

A Crazy Little Town Called Love by Jill Hannah Anderson is a great romance with strong, real characters. These characters stayed with me even when I wasn’t reading the book. When I had to put the book down, I thought about them while I wasn’t reading it. Wow! A wonderful realistic romance. Through life’s ups & downs, Molly pushes on to discover and love her new life. Although someone (or more than one) does not want her in town, Molly continues to fight for her dream and to make her father proud. The twists and turns are so realistic that I can see them happening in real life. I would recommend to all lovers of a romance. I already have recommended it to another author.

Jill has done it again, drawn me in so that I couldn't put it down. This story is centered around unplanned life changes. But it's more than just a broken relationship and a move to a small town. Jill intertwines mystery, emotions, family secrets and of course "The To Hell and Back Club". As with Jill's first book (The To Hell and Back Club) I again find myself wanting to be a participant in her story. Jill did an amazing job depicting each character in the book so much that I would love to find myself in the little town called Love so that I could personally meet them.
Jill is a talented writer and I am looking forward to reading her next book.

I am a big fan of this series and now I have to go read book 1 in this series because Crazy Little Town Called Love is book 2! I had no idea when I asked if I could read an ARC.
Do you like families, second chances, winning against even the toughest odds, and/or people that will pick themselves up, dust themselves off and move forward every time? Then this book is for you.
I immediately was drawn to Molly and rooted for her throughout this entire book. The town of Love??? Oh my gosh, how fun was it?! So many fun celebrations and events just for no reason, but they were yearly events and everyone had a great time. I'd want to live there ~~ if it wasn't in winter-filled Minnesota, that is!
Take a chance on a fun book filled with love and all the other good feels. Pick this up and you won't put it down until you find out if Molly triumphs or if she returns home, tail between her legs. Now I am off to purchase book 1 in this series!

Recently completed Jill Hannah Anderson's second book. It focuses on how one adjusts to small town living after having been raised in the big city. I like that Jill added a little mystery to her second book and could not put down. This story focuses on love, friendship, support and betrayal. Highly recommend!

I love her characters. I've read both her books now. I thoroughly enjoyed both. The characters and the town drew me in. Finishing the book, I feel like I left good friends. I can't wait until her next one.

This novel was just as emotional and inspirational as Jill’s novel, The To-Hell-And-Back Club. But Crazy Little Town Called Love is also full of pages of some excitement, surprises, and more. This is club member Molly’s story. Molly’s boyfriend has run out on her. Not long after, Molly decides to move to Love to run an old General Store that her family inherited. Love is a small town full of close knit people and long-standing traditions. As Molly fixes up the store to get ready to open it, she buids a whole new life for herself. Soon, Molly finds out that someone doesn’t want her there, as things start to happen and she is threatened more than once. Will Molly be able to make the store successful and survive in Love? Can she build new friendships and learn to trust again? This novel is about family, friends, and love. It is also about trust, strength, and starting over. The characters are delightful and the storyline flows along with plenty of surprises.
