Crazy with You
Alternate cover edition of ASIN: B08PPNYGRZ
Max Katz wasn't expecting an instant attraction to the town's bubbly newcomer, nor was he planning on breaking rules when he discovers she is his new client...
I have a strict rule about dating clients—I don’t. It’s the reason I pride myself as the local real estate guru in Sage Creek, Colorado, and I plan to keep it that way. It’s also a reason why I stick to asking for the number of the beauty I meet at the local bar Matchbox—because said beauty isn’t my client.
Until she is.
Harper Ives enjoys making my job difficult. The free-spirited new local teacher is every fantasy come true, including the one about the kindergarten teacher ready to school me. Yeah… I may need to consider an amendment to my rules.
Love at first sight is an understatement. But when you fall hard and fast, then something is bound to go wrong. Especially in this town…
Crazy with You is the second sweet and sexy standalone novel from the Matchbox series where you can revisit all your favorite characters throughout. Readers who love small town, love at first sight, and workplace romantic comedy may just fall for Max!

Crazy with You: A Love at First Sight Workplace Romance
(Matchbox Series Book 2)
Written by: E.H. Lyon
Max has one rule that he sticks to; he won’t date a client, ever! It’s like that adage never mix business and pleasure, mind you the first time he met Harper was at Matchbox. They didn’t know each other, she was easy to talk to, she could give good innuendo (yes, that’s a thing) and she wasn’t a client. Max was thinking it might be worth doing more things around town, maybe he would run into Harper again.
So when Jess his business partner begged him to show her client two houses, he did her the favor. One could say this was where fate stepped in, as Max is walking up to the house to show it, the client turns around and smiles, it’s Harper. Looks like Jess is playing let’s get Max a girl. The truth is Max might not think he’s looking but inside, he is and maybe Harper is what he’s looking for.
Like I said earlier Harper gives good innuendo, so good that Max can’t stop thinking of her but now that invisible line has been drawn and he is fighting to move beyond that not dating client’s policy which makes it ever harder for him to not rise to Harper’s taunts. Harper is open, open with her thoughts, open with her wants and open to letting Max know in no uncertain terms she is very open to him. The more time they spend together the more the push and pull of how attracted to each other; and attracted they are and soon that push ends up with them giving in and allowing the heat, the push and the attraction to finally ignite.
As with any new relationship though, especially one that has begun as attraction at first sight, both Harper and Max have to learn to temper the physical attraction and learn more about each other. The problem is they both have something they are hiding from each other about past relationships, so when someone from Max’s past appears, Harper’s walls go up and this wonderful feeling may not be working any more.
E.H. Lyon gives us a sweet love at first sight story where everyone gets involved, mothers, co-workers, “the boys”, brothers and in the end it’s really just two people

Crazy With You in book 2 in the Matchbox Series. I loved this book! It was hysterical and yet sweet at the same time. Max is a very successful real estate agent and Harper is the kindergarten teacher that is looking for a new home. The chemistry between these two is HOT! Never one of them was looking for anything serious but then they meet each other and all bets are off.
Harper is my new favorite character. She is crazy and owns it. She knows that she is a little quirky but she does not care. People will either like her or not. She is not afraid to be who she is. When she meets Max, she is instantly attracted to him, but does not change who she is. Even though she has been burned in the past because of her personality she still did not change who is was.
Max is not one for relationships. He likes living the single life, but when he meets Harper, he knows that she is different. He begins to fall for her and her craziness. It was so sweet seeing Max accept Harper for who she is. They both had crazy tendencies but it only made them attracted to each other more.
This was a very cute story that had the underlining tone of accepting yourself for who you are and not changing who you are. I loved it! I will definitely be reading the other books in the series when they come out.
HEA: Yes
Cheating: No
Couple Seperation: No

Max and Harper meet briefly at Matchbox, she gives him her name but no number. Imagine his surprise when she is his client for a house showing the next day. Max never mixes business with pleasure but Harper is tempting him at every turn. How long can he resist her and does he even want to?
Harper is such a fun, quirky character and loved that she keeps Max on his toes. I’m not usually much of a fan of love at first sight type stories but Crazy With You didn’t have them professing their love on day one. The relationship may happen fast but it was still months before they realized they were in love so it flowed and felt real. Harper and Max will keep you laughing. I loved that we got some time with everyone in from Different With You as well. Can’t wait to get Jess and Leo’s story.

This is the 2nd book in this awesome series and is Max and Harper’s story. Max is the sexy real estate agent in town and prides himself by not mixing business with pleasure. Harper is a fun free spirit character, who is the new teacher in town. When Max and Harper meet in Matchbox, they are instantly attracted to each other, but when Max finds out a day later that she is also his new client, this has him revaluating his own set of rules. This is a well written story which is fun, sweet, humorous, entertaining, and is an entertaining read. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend for all.

Max has an absolute rule that he won't date his clients but you know the best laid plans right?! He meets Harper at Matchbox, but while he knows her name he doesn't get his number. Imagine his surprise when Harper is a new client the next day, and things get complicated quickly because she's a temptation which is messing with his head & rule. Harper is a super fun, sassy, quirky girl who can go toe to toe with him on any given day, and the sparks are flying. I absolutely LOVED these two together because she definitely upended his rule filled life which is something I totally believed he needed & it kept me laughing. In fact, there was a lot of laughter throughout as Crazy With You is just what the doctor ordered on a depressing day, so you need this book in your life! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

3.5 stars
The chemistry between them was immediate and obvious. Their conversations are always teasing, bantering and I was loving the vibe between them. Harper came into max’s life like a wrecking ball, and she was here to stay. Harper was a unique girl, and it took a confident and open minded man like Max to understand her.
After knowing each other for less than a week, they started dating, which I felt was a bit rushed. Relationship moved quite quickly. I guess it’s a love at first sight kind of thing, that’s why. Nevertheless, I enjoyed that it had minimal drama. Conflict seemed to be resolved too quickly.
But I did still enjoy this book. The writing is easy to digest, there was banter, and sexy scenes were good.

This was a really fun story by an author I have not read before. It stars Max, the real estate agent and his newest customer, Harper who is a new teacher in town who needs to find a house. This story is their adventures in home hunting and how Harper manages to seduce max into dating and falling in love with his newest client.
It was a fun story and I loved all the twists and turns in this story as we get to know Max and Harper and Max's friends in this small town. I especially loved watching Max fall for Harper and start to break his own rules and the repurcussions in relation to that.

This is a well written sweet romance. The Characters are very real.

Max did not know what he was getting into with Harper. Yes, he was attracted to her, but he has a firm rule, not to date clients. Harper is a Kindergarten Teacher, but I love her free spirit. This story is a well-written, hilarious, slow-burn that I could not put down. Will Max tame Harper's crazy? Can he resist her temptations? Will he break his own rules?
Will you meet us at the Matchbox to see who is next?
Thank you to Booksprout and the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

Oh my God, the sexual tension between Harper and Max was hot! It was a really enjoyable sweet read. I loved watching Max try so hard to not break his rule but then he fell hard for Harper. Because there's no way he could resist her, she's that tenacious. It was so satisfying to read their story. It has a good story line. The characters are good and have good chemistry.

Meh! Characters were ok but I got fed up and was glad to finish. I only perservered as it was a short book. I didn't bother with the epilogues.

I really couldn’t connect with this couple. There was insta-lust but it all felt very hollow. First half of the book is constant flirting with no real character development or plot progress. I got bored…

Max and Harper have a fun story with twist and turns. The story is sweet, has humor, and plenty of heat. This is a very entertaining read with very likable characters.
