Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a huge Debra Kayn fan, and with every book release from her, I always say “WOW! The best one yet!”, “Debra outdone herself on this one!” After a while even I think I sound like a broken record or I’m using a “canned” review and just changing the book title. Well, I’m not. There are only so many ways to say that someone is a magnificent writer and an engaging storyteller. The standard adjectives sound too lame to describe what I just read. Yes, it’s brilliant, awesome, fantastic and amazing, but it’s also heartbreaking, emotionally draining and gut wrenchingly sad. Then you have the humor, joy and camaraderie. So, how does one describe one of Debra’s books? Wow! The best one yet! Debra’s truly outdone herself on this one!
Falling for Crazy centered on the character that I so wanted to get to know from the Moroad Motorcycle Club, Jacko. Crazy, unpredictable, weird, psychotic Jacko. The Jacko I saw was emotionally scarred, highly intelligent, intriguing and sometimes sweetly caring. So, let’s see who he really is, shall we!
When I started reading Falling for Crazy, I had no preconceived opinions or any residual emotions involving Jacko. Unlike the last three releases of the Moroad MC, For Life, His Crime and Time Owed, where I was emotionally invested in the entire Cam, Christina (Wrapped Around Him), and Merk scenario and the outcome of their saga. Falling for Crazy was in a way a fresh start. We were introduced to Jacko in For Life. When I met Jacko, I was thinking, who is this guy and has twenty years in prison pushed him over the edge? Has he spent too many years in solitary confinement to be of any use to Cam and Moroad? Did losing his woman break him? Only Cam seemed to know who Jacko was and the reasons he acted the way he did. We kept seeing glances of Jacko throughout Cam and Christina’s story, but really started to see more of Jacko in Merk’s story. We saw a glimpse of crazy and I personally wanted more.
Crazy started at Chapter 1: yep, yep, yep, the very first thing. We meet Amy, the sister of a woman that Los Li kidnapped and murdered. One, two, three... Amy, the older sister to Sarah, the woman that Jacko loved. Bang, Bang, Bang.. Amy, the woman Jacko had moved away from Federal to keep her safe from Los Li or anyone else seeking revenge against Jacko. Sway Left, Sway Right, back to Left… Amy, the woman Jacko sees running and hiding in the middle of the night when Jacko cannot sleep and is out for a walk. Again, one, two, three... Amy, the woman looking for Jacko, needing his help to escape from someone looking for her. Sarah’s Amy! Amy, the woman who does not understand what happened to the man her spirited, carefree little sister fell in love with. Jacko’s insane.. Amy.. Need to stay alert, Need to stay out of prison, Need Amy gone! Amy.. It’s ok Momma… Amy.. Sarah’s Dead!
Why is it when a woman sees a man emotionally scarred and blaming himself for not being able to protect someone, it makes us want to grab hold of him and not let go? Is it because we are taught or conditioned to believe that men must be strong and tough all the time and aren’t supposed to show us their emotions? Well, let me tell you this, I honestly was hurting for Jacko by Chapter 3. Wondering what caused this man to break and if this hardened, tattooed career criminal could break, what did that mean for the rest of us? Then I continued to read and I got even more emotionally wrapped in crazy.
Falling for Crazy had more twist and turns that I could hardly keep up. I was thinking one way and then was slammed into thinking another. As the story unfolded, I couldn’t help, but to think, My God, how does Debra come up with this stuff? Yes, I actually sent her a note asking her about her sanity! We all knew going in that Jacko’s story would be different from Cam’s and Merk’s. Debra had hinted it would be a little different and maybe, just maybe, a little crazy. Well, it was a crazy ride and when I finished reading the last page, I closed my tablet and just sat there, starring ahead, not really focused on anything, just trying to grasp what I had just read. My husband and I were heading out of town on a trip, my husband was driving and the convo went like this:
Hubs: Everything ok?
Me: I don’t know, I don’t know if it will ever be again.
Hubs: Hmm, so what do you want for dinner?
Me: Nothing, I can’t even think about food right now, my stomach hurts.
Now, days later, the fog is beginning to clear and my sanity is returning and I’m ready to move forward.
Thank you Deb. It was an amazing ride through Crazy and I’m not sure how you are going to top Jacko’s story, but somehow, I know you will, you always do.
