When I started this book I was only supposed to read the first 30 pages for the Beverly Contest. I fell in love with Skye, Edward and Julian and could not put the book down. I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I was not disappointed and look forward to reading more books by Deborah Garland.

I have come to find out that I really enjoy Deborah Garland's books. I got the opportunity to read Must Be Crazy in the Darling Cove Series. I have fallen in love over and over with the characters that Deborah has created. I love the feeling that I get when I immerse myself in her world, a world that was well developed.

I can't say that I was surprised to enjoy Edward and Skye's book - I loved seeing their story and relationship grow. Their trials is what makes this story a wonderful one. I honestly can't wait to see what she does with this series, and where it goes. This was definitely a 4 Star Book for me!

ARC received from author for an honest review

This is my first Deborah Garland book, so I have not read the previous 2 books in the Darling Cove series, however this did not affect my enjoyment of Must Be Crazy.

Skye Mallory hasn't had the best of luck lately. Douchey ex boyfriends being the least of them.

Edward Mendelsohn - well, isn't he all kinds of swoonworthy. I mean really, what a guy!

Just when both think their life has take a turn for the better, their pasts come back to play.

Oy, what a piece of work Skye's ex is. I just wanted to hit him in the head with my Kindle everytime he turned up on the page. And then he does stuff and I am like "seriously Skye and Edward, you aren't going to do anything about that?". It was like it was just all forgotten - but not by me! I wanted to see him get his comeuppence!

But this could just be me.

I enjoyed watching our lovelies fall. There were so many obstacles to overcome, however by acting like adults, the did this without any stupid miscommunications and the like.

I adored Skye's family, and couldn't get enough of a couple of them in particular (I don't want to spoil who, but they will steal your heart).

I enjoyed this story, and will be going back to read the earlier books in this series.

5 stars

Easch book in this series just gets better and better. And this one, wow, I just fell in love with it right away.
Skye, oh I've been waiting for her book since the beginning and what a story she got.
And Edward, what a patient man. And his son, loved him to pieces.
These two had so many obstacles to wade through and still they couldn't deny the sparks they had.
I would suggest reading these in order as they follow in a timeline and you'd miss how they got to the points they are now.

Must Be Crazy ( Darling Cove Book 3 )
By Deborah Garland
5/5 Stars

I truly can not say enough wonderful things about this series!! If you’re a sucker , ( like myself ) for a romantic love story with a happily ever after… this book ( and series ) is for you!!
Being a single mother, I do have a soft spot for single parents! Especially single father’s … wow, I’m not sure what it is.. but it’s a weakness of mine!! I absolutely looooove a romance love story, with a few twists and turns. Trust me, once you start reading this book… you will NOT be able to put it down!!
Sky and Edward meet in an unconventional way… but immediately sparks fly. Is their love worth fighting for? You gotta read this book to find out!! You won’t be disappointed at all!! Another outstanding job, Deborah! I can’t wait to see what’s next!!

Must Be Crazy is the third book in the Darling Cove series by Deborah Garland, this can be read as a standalone but recommend you read the first two books. I have been waiting for Skye’s book since Must Love Fashion; there was just something about her character that I connected with. But it was Must Have Faith that had me really wanting Edward and Skye together. They had this instant connection with one another. So when I started Must Be Crazy, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to put this book down. Besides the great love story of Edward and Skye, there was DRAMA from someone’s ex.

I always have a full heart and tears in my eye when I read about men or women taking on a stepchild like they are their own. It was great catching up with the rest of this family, at one point they were all living under one roof – sorry that is just too many people in one house. But when Greg, Gwen, and Skye are all together you know there will be laughing. This book had everything you will love – it was sweet, funny, emotional and sexy.

Must Be Crazy A Darling Cove novel by Deborah Garland

4 Stars!!!!


This being the third book in this series was another great one. I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed the chance to get to know more about the Mallory's and the extended family. I was just as entranced with this book as I was the first.

I really like how Skye and Edward's lives just really became entangled with one another. The outside dramas that incurred from her ex and his ex just really made the story. The author really has a unique writing form that you get sucked in from the first page. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Skye and Edward and then throwing in his young son really just made the whole story. I found myself really drawn to Skye as she was so relateable. I will definitely be reading more from this author in the future and I actually hope that there is more to this series.
