Product Description

When she was good, she was very, very good...

When Emma Frasier returns home to Joyful, Georgia, she's greeted with the kinds of winks and lusty grins one might offer...an adult film star?

But when she was bad...

Thanks to small-town gossip and citizens who clearly need to get a life, Joyful's residents think Emma Jean is the "famous star" building a strip club in town. And that her barely concealed...uh, attributes are the ones gracing the new interstate billboard. She was better.

As if being taken for a blue movie queen isn't rattling enough, there's Johnny Walker, the local bad boy turned good--a man who tempts Emma to be just as wild and wicked as Joyful thinks she is.

Emma Frasier returns home to Joyful, Georgia when her life falls apart. Her best friend embezzled her life savings along with a sizeable amount of the assets belonging to the company they had both worked for. Now that she's jobless she has returned home to house her grandmother left her to try and get her life back on track..With a strip club being built in the town by a former porn star, the local grapevine has been working overtime trying to figure out who the porn star is....and when Emma arrives home they quickly decide that it must be her. Emma doesn't understand why people keep looking at her strange or giving her smirking looks and the whole thing leaves her feeling uncomfortable. Then there is Johnny Walker, the former local bad boy who is now District Attorney. Emma had dated Johnny's brother Nick in high school only to find herself dumped on prom night when Nick disappeared to marry the sheriff's daughter who was pregnant with his child. When Johnny showed up in Nick's place to take Emma to the prom neither of them expected the night to end with them being caught naked together. Johnny has always felt like Emma used him in place of his brother but now that they are together again things quickly heat back up. Between dealing with her feelings for Johnny and a town who thinks she was a porn star Emma's got a lot to handle.

Leslie Kelly has delivered a feel good romance that has laugh out loud humor, sexy love scenes and touch of suspense. The tension between Emma and Johnny is obvious from the beginning and the secondary story of Claire and Tim is a delightful bonus. Add to this the tease of an upcoming story for Nick and She Drives Me Crazy is a not to be missed treat. She Drives Me Crazy was my first experience with Leslie Kelly but I was so throughly satisfied by it that I immediately ordered all her other titles and have added Leslie Kelly to my list of auto buy authors!

4.0 out of 5 stars Crazy, good fun!, March 28, 2005

This review is from: She Drives Me Crazy (Mass Market Paperback)

A seductive, lazy Southern setting combined with the reallistic modern love & life problems of todays women make this story. Don't get me wrong it's not a sappy story you see Valerie Burtonelli in. It's edgy and witty with plenty of steam generated by the main characters Emma Jean and Johnny.
Because of a misplaced assumption in the local gossip grapevine, everyone in Joyful, GA assumes Emma Jean is a porn star whose just returned to there town after a long absense. It doesn't hurt that she left after an embarrassing nudity incident with the local bad boy heart throb. Blissfully unaware of the rumors, Emma Jean only ends up feeding the flames of embarrassment through her own behavior, especially when she's around Johnny Walker.And every time Johnny sees her he just wants to grab her and bite her in unmentionable places.
Combined with several who done it mysteries, a cast of sparky secondary characters, and an interesting new idea on how to eat pie this book is a definite winner. Look for the next book in this series in September!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Sexy and Entertaining, March 5, 2005

This review is from: She Drives Me Crazy (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a big fan of small town romances and this book is going right onto my favorites list. Emma Jean Frasier is a great heroine...flat broke and returning to a town she hates. Meanwhile, the town of Joyful is convinced Emma went off and became a big time porn star and is opening a strip club.

Johnny Walker is a wonderful hero. Sexy and strong, he really is driven crazy by Emma Jean, the girl he has never been able to forget. His revelation at the end was beautiful and left me smiling long after I finished the book.

The other characters in the town add a lot of laughs and quirkiness. I loved how the mayor got what was coming to him.
Emma's friend Claire, the grumpy old cleaning lady, the dirty old man who pines for the sex doll his dog popped...just all so funny and entertaining.

She Drives Me Crazy is a fun, funny, fast-paced read that is definitely worth checking out.
