Kurzbeschreibung
During a secret mission gone bad, covert operator Gillian Pentycote ceased to exist. Held captive by a madman, shot full of drugs that stole her memory, Gillian survived. Now, with a new identity and nothing to lose, the woman who calls herself Red Dog has gone from bookish secretary to sizzling-hot hired gun. And she has one plan: to find the man who shattered her life and take him down for good.
Special agent Travis James has the same plan, except he has rules to follow–and using a gorgeous amnesiac as bait isn’t in them. So Travis must play a dangerous double game of his own. He knows Red Dog will do anything to lure the ultimate criminal to her side and exact revenge. But from Central America to a Colorado showdown, Travis has gotten his priorities straight. He’ll kill the bad guy, but only if he can save the beauty–and never, ever let her go....

Losing her touch???
2. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Three stars is two more than I would probably have given Crazy Sweet, but Christian and Dylan are worth at least a star each. I use the reviews of others to help me decide if a book is worth my time and money and I felt very, very strongly about this read. I have read the Crazy books from day one and loved every one of them (especially Cristian and Dylan's stories). I even turned several girlfriends on to them and we were all excited about Crazy Sweet coming out. What a let down. I guess I expected Travis and Red Dog's story to be as interesting as Dylan and Skeeter's. Not even.
From about the second chapter I realized that I didn't even like Red Dog at all and was wishing that Travis would just move on. While I understand that she had been through an extremely traumatic event that totally wiped away all memories of the person that she had been, I wonder at the complete lack of emotion (except rage for one individual). I just don't get how she could have the entire SDF team working with her and caring for her for two years and feel virtually nothing for most of them. I just think that the complete reversal (or loss) of her personality was too much. She became a single-minded, selfish, uncaring, emotionless individual. And these guys still went to her rescue even after she went against the rules of the SDF team. Again, I just found myself not liking the character at all. I was way more interested in the secondary story line of C. Smith Rydell.
I also found the end of the story weak and got to the last page feeling like it was unfinished. The relationship between the two main characters felt like it wasn't complete and gave me the impression that they might not even stay together (wishful thinking) for the long haul. Ms. Janzen's note at the back mentioned that while the Crazy series was over that we would see more of the SDF guys in her next work (hopefully Smith's story). While I will buy her next book, I was very disappointed by Crazy Sweet.

Mixed Feelings
16. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is book 6 in the "Crazy", Steele Streete, SDF books. This is not a stand alone book, you have to start from the beginning.
I bought this book the day it came out and then put off reading it until yesterday. I had three reasons for putting it off:
1) Like other reveiwers I wasn't that thrilled with the last book. The long awaited Dylan and Skeeter story got 2nd billing to Gillian and Travis.
2) I've loved Travis since book 1. But did not like how she changed him from a peace loving, meditating, sex tharapist, nature boy to an SDF operative.
3) And finally, RED DOG. Uhg! I hated her character!
In book 5 we met Gillian. She is working for the General. She seems a bit scatter brained and a little disheveled. She's smart and a bit quirky. She and Travis "get together". I really liked Gillian. I thought she was a nice partner for Travis.
Then Gillian ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time and is heavily drugged and tortured by an ex CIA agent gone bad.
This story is the continuation of that one. Her memory is wiped out from that drug. She doesn't even remember her name. What we know of sweet Gillian is gone. She only has 3 memories, Travis is one of them.
Superman trains her and for the next two years, Red Dog is born. She is an assassin hell bent on Revenge. Her one focus is Tony Royce the CIA agent that took her first life.
Red Dog just isn't that endearing of a character. I felt sorry for Travis. I admit by the end of this book I ended up feeling luke warm about her. But not the connection I have felt with the other characters in the previous books.
The secondary story in this one, saved the book for me.
C. Smith Rydell is an operative who saved Kid in a previous book. He is in El Salvador trying to find out what Red Dog was up to. He inadvertantly ends up saving Honey York-Lytton. She's on a mission to help her sister, the nun. They get stranded together in a hotel room while bombs are blasting the city. Both of these characters are loveable. And I look forward to reading more about them in "On the Loose" Spring 2007.
So to sum up. If you've been with the series since book one. Of course you must buy and must read. It's a good read. Just not her best. If Red Dog would have been more like Gillian, it probably would have been better. We just have to hope her next book will be better.

MAIN COUPLE-YUK, SECONDARY CHARACTERS-YEAH!
10. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
I have read all the Crazy books and have loved them all -BUT - I just dont like Red Dog. I cant get into her and Travis as a couple. I still resent their dominating intrusion into my DYLAN AND SKEETER story--who are my favorites.
The first thing I did with this book is flip through and read anything that said Dylan and/or Skeeter on the page and then I read the whole book.
At least Gillian was likable in Crazy Love, but not as Red Dog in SWEET.
I did love Honey and C Smith's story and all parts that included previous Crazy characters.
I wish Tara would write more adventure/romance for Dylan, Skeeter, Kid, Christian etc...instead of new ones.
All in all, if you have read all the CRAZY's then you must read this one - BUT- dont start here or judge the series by this book--its her weakest main couple for sure. Those love scenes should have gone to Skeeter and Dylan--Tara owes them some.
