Kid Chronopolus, special ops, has spent the past 7 months on a mission to seek and destroy members of the Conseco Drug Cartel in Colombia. On his return to his home in Panama City he finds his girlfriend has come to see him from Denver, and the Conseco's have come to kill him. He has to get Nikki home to Denver and figure out his next steps in his war on Juan Conseco.

Action, action, action. Romance, sex, romance. Fast read. ( )

Alright so right away I feel myself grinning as Kid comes into the picture, he is such a great character. I can only be described as Uber excited to read this book Oooh, I dare anyone not to be moved when Janzen writes that he has two gold rings on a silver necklace around his neck. (They belong to Nikki's parents and if you read the previous stories you will understand the significance of this)
When Nikki and Kid meet up again there is instant chemistry between them and they jump right into bed or maybe you would say jump right against the wall.
When goons are chasing my favorite couple I like how Kid remembers that Nikki needs to talk when she gets nervous or stressed and lets her ramble on as he focuses on what needs to be done.
Janzen does a nice job of showing how Kid seems to be a little insecure or uncomfortable with Nikki knowing what he does. When Nikki says her fiancé could never had killed those men, he thinks then he would have been dead and you too. Kid knows what he is, but seems unable to reveal any part of the black ops sniper side to Nikki.
Oh god, I love how Kid keeps on focusing on her calling him a savage, that is how Nikki describes the "mode" he went into when he killed the three men sent to his house to kill him. Once again every problem this couple seems to have goes back to Kid not being able to connect being a soldier and being Nikki's boyfriend. Kid doesn't know how to keep Nikki but can't let her go.
Sigh, Janzen has a real problem with focusing to much on the secondary story. In this case it was Travis and Jane who seemed to be butting into what I really wanted to be reading about, Kid and Nikki.
This story wrapped up way to easily and cleanly, what about Nikki's hang ups about not knowing anything about Kid's job or him not being able to discuss anything with her? Janzen flaked out on this couple, she could have made this story incredible. Janzen had built them up to epic proportions in previous books only to fail on them in what was suppose to be their story. She focused on setting up a sequel for the character Travis (Nikki's angel model) too much. I know authors want to make money and entice the reader to buy the sequels but she didn't do Kid and Nikki justice because of this. Even so adding up all of the story written about these two, taking into consideration previous books, Kid and Nikki are definitely one powerful couple whom I completely connected with and are my favorite from the series so far. Kid Chaos and Nikki will stick with me for a long time, even if I have to expand their story in my own mind to be satisfied.

It's fun and it is set in Denver. What more could you ask for? If you love Maya Banks' and Cindy Gerard's books, you will want to give these a read. ( )

I don't care for this style of writing where most of the story is told through the characters thoughts. After about fifty pages I started skimming all but dialogue and found I was skipping chapters so I gave up and didn't finish. Secret agent Kid is badly wounded and when he returns to a friends house to recover he finds the love of his life Nikki. ( )

Overall Rating: 4.75 // Action: 5 / Emotion: 4.5 / Romance: 4 / Sensuous: 3.75 / Suspense: 4.25 // Laughter: 12 / Tears: 0

*Crazy Kisses* is another keeper in a lengthening list of Tara Janzen's must read books and joining the other books in "The Steele Street Series" on my 'to be re-read' list. Kid and Nikki's story was filled with {1} non-stop action, {2} thrilling suspense, {3} sizzling sex scenes, and {4} a side story featuring {a} Skeeter Bang, {b} Travis James, and two brand new characters {c} Jane Linden, and {c} Fast Jack Spencer, new leader of the Castle Rats.

Am anxious to get to the next book of the series. See Wolf Bear Does Books (http://goo.gl/8uwsW) for a more in-depth, detailed review of *Crazy Kisses*. ( )
