Crazy Love [Paperback]

Desiree Day (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 20, 2005

From a bright new voice in African American women's fiction comes a sexy, scandalous, and scintillating novel set in steamy Atlanta.

Stacie Long thinks she's God's gift to men and she keeps a list of qualities (phat ride, freak in bed...) that she's looking for in an ideal mate. But behind all her confidence she's got a secret -- one that even her best friend doesn't know about, one that may just keep her forever searching for her perfect man.

Tameeka Johnson is a successful businesswoman who owns one of Atlanta's top wellness shops. But even with business booming, success in her bedroom is at an all-time low. Then, when she meets her black prince -- a loving man who promises to treat her like gold -- her insecurities about her sizeable body may just keep her from living the dream.

Stacie and Tameeka are super tight, but their friendship is tested by sexy NBA players, baby mama drama, and temptations like they've never known before. Because if there's one thing these girls like better than each other, it's men.

From Booklist

Tameeka Johnson and Stacie Long have been friends forever and roommates for years. Stacie is tall and attractive and keeps a "what I want in a man" list. Tameeka is a full-figured woman who has opened her own wellness shop, Heaven on Earth. These women are as different in looks and goals as they are in trying to catch the right man. When Tameeka finds romance with Tyrell, she struggles with a personality flaw that may ruin her chances with him. Stacie is looking so hard for the man with a six-figure salary and luxury vehicle that she may overlook the real qualities of a good mate. When Tameeka and Tyrell convince Stacie and Jackson, a single father, to go on a blind date, the sparks fly. Their insults only fuel and mask the true attraction they have for one another. When they discover how much they really do like one another, the relationship takes a turn. Both women are forced to deal with their insecurities and secrets in this funny and scandalous story about love. Lillian Lewis

More About the Author

I have always loved books. I distinctly remember my first board book, it was about a bunny and I carried it around with me constantly. I was six years old and have been reading ever since. It was only natural for me to become a writer.

I self-published my first novel, Bourgeois Blues in 1997. Since then, I was very fortunate to be published by Simon & Schuster. With Simon & Schuster, I have published the following novels:

Crazy Love - 2005
Cruising - 2006
One G-String Short of Crazy - 2009
Spiritual Seduction - 2010


I am very excited with the new trends in publishing and have decided to give digital publishing a try. Here is a listing of my E-books:

Chocolate & Pecan Swirl (Erotica)
G-Strings, Thongs, Blogs, Oh My! (Erotica)
My Husband & My Wifey (Erotica)
Saturday Love (Erotica)
Two Men are Better Than One (Erotica)
The Return of Wifey (Erotica)
Chubby Chicks Rule (Young Adult)
The Committee (Inspirational Romance)
This Isn't Barbie's Dream House (Romance)
15 Soothing Bible Verses and Affirmations for Single Moms (Self help)

Thank you very much for reading my profile.

Happy reading and writing!

This review is from: Crazy Love (Paperback)

A tale of two friends searching for "the perfect mate"... a well written story from a new author in African American fiction. Very intriguing, I could not put it down. Beware, it appears to be a tradtional story line but there are defintely some loops, twist and turns that will wow you!!! The introduction of different characters with wonderful personalities add to the story line and make this a must have.
