I loved this book. I bought it because of the cover & excerpt-knew I'd be reading a "sexy" book. It was so much more, though! I laughed out loud so many times...heck, I cried from laughing so hard! If you're a fan of couples that play as hard as they love, this book's for you! I'm so glad I took a chance on this author. I'll be reading anything else of Tracy Wolff's that I can find!

Really enjoyed this one, a lot of heart in it.
I don't often love second chance romance nor pranks, but I did enjoy that Elise gave as good as she got and that there was a good amount of apology and grovel.

Drive me Crazy is a funny sweet story. I really do the prank between the H and h. The last prank was so unbelievable that had me laughing. The character development is sufficient to make the story interesting. The sex scenes are hot.
I wish there is more angst and more drama in the story because I enjoy the prank so much.

I absolutely love Quinn & Elise’s and story. There were so many times that I was laughing like a crazy person. I told my hubby about some of the pranks played between the two of them, and now he’s worried I’ll do the same things. :P
I love how Quinn and Elise can still shift into their playfulness around each other. It’s fun. There are a few intense moments with them. But they just need to work past that all. I also love the fact that the rest of the band gets along with Elise so well.
Sorry this turned kind of rambly. I don’t want to give too much away, but I still want to sing praises for this book, and series. If you loved the intensity of Ryder and Jamison, you’ll love the fun with Quinn and Elise. You’ll also love the smexy parts! Just sayin’.

Drive Me Crazy started out a bit strange for me, but it quickly picked up after a few chapters. Before I get started, a few trigger warnings to mention: there is past child abuse, physical fighting and cheating in this one.
At first, the interactions between Quinn and Elise felt awkward and forced, with the words claiming an intimacy and sizzle that didn't come off the page. The author jumped right in and said that there should be something there, but we hadn't had enough time to first get to know the characters. BUT THEN. It quickly escalated.
The whole book takes place over several days, really, so it did seem a bit like insta-love, though this was tempered by the knowledge that, even though the two hadn't seen each other for a decade, back in their teens, they had years of messing with each other – and then messing around with each other – before they dramatically split.
So the fact that it doesn't take at all long for things to get heated wasn't that shocking. Only a little bit. Especially once Quinn and Elise started up with the pranks, trying to one-up each other each day. And they were hilarious. The Twinkies! Genius! But then they got a bit saucier...and saucier... and then the two of them were lost. Goners. They had it bad.
Or should I say good? I could definitely feel the chemistry with this one. Wowza. It was hot hot hot. I would warn potential readers, though, that it is pretty graphic, with talk of fingers going places, and it has the cliches of endless Os and instant erections that a small part of me can't help but roll my eyes at. Plus, apparently women's nipples instantly get hard with just the smallest amount of excitement. Whodathunkit??? So while I did enjoy the steam rising off my Kindle, I had to raise my eyebrow a few times.
One other thing that made me hmmmm while reading was that Elise lost everything at the beginning of the book. In the space of a year, her father had died (though their relationship was rocky), her fiancé had broken things off, and now suddenly she'd lost her best and only friend and damaged her hand so badly her career as a classical concert pianist was ruined. And she didn't fall apart nearly enough for me. Because who cares when you have a hot rock star bent on making you never want to leave bed again, right? So a point was lost there, soz.
All in all, though, I did read this all in a morning, so it was clearly a fun ride for me! ;)This review was originally posted on Love in a Time of Feminism

Gah. Funny and hot. I love it. Tracy said this is the first book she used humor in and I’m here for it. The pranks are hilarious and made me love this long time relationship of Quinn and Elise. I love that they kind of picked up where they left off and the epiphany that Quinn had.
Much love for this book (I’m not surprised, Tracy is just amazing)

I apparently love a good rock star romance and this had the added bonus of being a second chance romance as well. I liked that the rock star hero wasn't the typical tortured rock star - oh, he definitely had his issues deriving from his upbringing but he wasn't over the top broody. And I liked the heroine and I loved the lightheartedness of the story (they play pranks on each other and it's really funny and cute).

I liked it better than the first book in the series. This had better pacing and a more enjoyable couple. I had to go find some of the piano music mentioned to listen to while I read.
