Didn’t really care for the book. Have read everything by the author but this one didn’t catch. Will still continue to buy but this one wasn’t for me

I have read all the books in the Not Quite series. I loved Rachel and Jason in this book. This book has all the emotions in it.

Rachel has just moved to a small town near Manhattan from LA. She has also in the past year became legal guardian for her best friends 15 year old son after her death. She has a new job that she loves but she does not like taking the train into Manhattan, she would rather drive.

Jason Fairchild owns an airline charter company with his brothers. Jason has always been very to himself and serious about his job. He dates but not seriously. He has never brought any woman around.

Rachel and Jason meet one afternoon when Jason tries to pass Rachel on the road and he ends up in the ditch. Rachel stops to check on the person. Jason can't find anyone to pull him out. So Rachel offers to take him to her house until he someone can come get him or his car. There is an immediate attraction. However, Rachel does not want to react to is because of Owen. She has just moved and wants him her to settle into their new life.

Rachel and Jason text back and forth after their meeting and she shuts him down every time until he Jason gets Owen involved. Rachel can't tell Owen no. Rachels resolve starts to wear down until she goes into work for a big meeting with the owners and one of them happens to be Jason. Of course they both are shocked because neither one of them realize that Rachel worked at the same company Jason owns. Rachel of course tells Jason after the meeting their budding relationship must end. Jason disagrees and pulls out all the stops.

This a very sweet book with all the feels. I loved this book and all the characters. This book is written from a dual POV, tons of romance, suspense and love..

I received a free copy for an honest review

I read a couple of chapters and that was it for me..

One moment, one chance meeting can change everything. And for Jason and Rachel that's all it took. Immediate attraction, want and desire. Hesitation and doubts are nothing when faced with the possibility of forever.

Rachel has changed her whole life. Raising her best friends son has its challenges but none more than the move from west coast to east. New job, snow and no friends are just the tip of the iceberg. But she would do anything for Owen and her sacrifices are nothing if it will keep the courts out of it.

Jason runs one of the biggest charter companies in the country. But his impatience lands him in a ditch. And face to face with a woman he can't seem to get out of his head. 

Surprise has nothing on them when they find out he is her boss. It nothing will keep Jason from going after what he wants. And he wants Rachel. But she won't give in easily. She has her job to worry about. And custody of Owen. And nothing will jeopardize that. Not even her own happiness. And when his rich, snooty grandparents get involved it gets ugly. Will Rachel be able to have her happy ending or will everything be taken away?

GET READY FOR IT!
Well, Catherine Bybee has done it once again! Get ready for it! “NOT QUITE CRAZY” evokes a myriad of emotions! You will laugh, cry, gasp, and sigh. You’ll even find yourself wanting to punch out the nemesis! But most all… you’ll fall in love with the three major characters (Jason Fairchild, Rachel Price, and 15-year-old Owen Moreau). They will steal your heart!

Jason, is a young CEO, and a workaholic. He’s dedicated to his family and the family business: Fairchild Charters. But, one day, Jason takes a look at his two younger brothers and sees how happy they are being married: something he’s managed to elude. However, Jason, doesn’t realize what’s missing in his life, until he meets Rachel.

Rachel, is a recent transplant from California – arriving in Manhattan with a promising new job and a plate full of personal responsibilities she hopes she can juggle. Settling in is hard, and Rachel’s definitely not looking for romance or a relationship. But, one snowy night, she accidentally meets the very attractive Jason who becomes just one more thing added to that very full plate!

Some readers may find this story a bit slow in the beginning. That’s because Bybee has woven these two characters into a delicate slow dance. They skirt around the sparks of heat and attraction nipping at their heels, while onlookers anxiously await and anticipate the moment the fireworks will ignite.

And, as for the 15-year-old Owen – this character will turn the reader inside out! They can’t help but love him. And, anymore said by this reviewer may result in dropping a few spoilers. Shh!

I only have one thing to say; ‘I LOVED reading this book!’ It had me from beginning to end. But more than that, I hated saying goodbye to my newly found friends: Jason, Rachel, and Owen. So, if you haven’t read this book… I highly recommend it! THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ!

**I wish to thank the author for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was so disappointed to learn this would be the last book in this great series. Catherine Bybee writes the most relatable and genuine characters and of course this book did not disappoint. Not Quite Crazy leaves you with a smile and happy heart!

WOW!! I've always loved this series right from the very start of it but I think this has to be the best one yet. Saved the best for last? Don't really know what else to say. I'm awful at writing reviews. Like a bunch of people have said "I don't know why I like something, I just know that I do." I hope there is another book from Ms. Bybee scheduled in the not too distant future. Wouldn't want to start suffering from withdrawal. I highly recommend this series but be a good reader and start from the first and read them in order.

Many thanks to Montlake Romance and NetGalley for the ARC of this great book in exchange for an honest opinion.

An enjoyable heartwarming story that grabbed me from the get go and didn't let go until the end. The characters were all great and the three primary characters well developed with personality. This is book 6, and is the first book by CB that I have read, and it read well as a stand alone. The plot moves along nicely and has a bit of a twist towards the end. Overall, a very well written novel with a nice blend of sweetness and humour. * I received an ARC of this book and this is my voluntary and honest review.

This is the last in this series and the book does not disappoint in the slightest, it is the author at what we know she does best.

Rachel has moved across the country with her ward, the son of her late friend in order that he be closer to his blood family should anything happen to her, even if Owen doesn't know his paternal grandparents and barely knows his father.

Jason, the oldest of the Fairchild brothers first meets Rachel when he goes off the road into a ditch and Rachel offers to take him to there house until his car can be towed and he can get a lift home. It is from here that Jason finally finds a woman that intrigues him and he find himself wanting not only to know her more, but to help her around the house with tasks he has not done in a long time.

The relationship between the two starts as complicated but only because Rachel knows that she has to be careful, especially as she now has Owen to consider.

We get to see other member of the the Fairchild family from previous books that way in and help the couple which is nice to see, we also get to see a really soft side to Jason that we have never really seen before.

I am so sad that this series has finished, however i am excited to see what Catherine comes up with next for us.

I did however love this part said by Owen the boy Rachel has taken on:
"Hate is such a strong word."
Owen glared. "I don't care for math or science."
Deyadria smiled, as if she had changed Owen's language for good with one suggestion.
"Much like i don't care for a festering, puss-filled pimple on my butt."

I received this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
For my review, I will not restate the plot since you can read the description on the jacket, nor will I post any spoilers.
I have read several books by Catherine Bybee, but I have to say this has been my favorite thus far. The H and h are strong characters and their story is wellwritten. There are hints that there are books preceding this one which pertain to other characters in this one. This is a stand-alone book and does not require reading the previous novels.
There is romance, some strong language and a few f-bombs as well as some sex scenes. However, the sex scenes are not explicit, although anatomical names of certain body parts are used. There is drama based on family interactions. But this book is a love story in the truest sense. Thank you, Catherine Bybee. A 5 star read.

Not Quite Crazy is a well written romance. Loved the plot.

What a joy and pleasure it was to read Catherine Bybee’s newest book, Not Quite Crazy. Any lover of romance and “happily ever after” novels would be crazy not to love this book. It hooked me immediately and I read it in just a couple of sittings; truly unable to put it down. The final installment of the “Not Quite” series, this one may have topped them all. I loved it.

There are three main characters in this book, Rachel Price, her ward Owen Moreau, and Jason Fairchild. They are each very likable and bring great warm and humor to the book. While the primary love story focuses on Rachel and Jason, Owen is very much a part of their relationship and his presence brings added depth to the book. 

While there is conflict and issues to be dealt with, They are handled with a deft hand. I appreciated the lack of deep, prolonged angst.

I recommend this book for all lovers of romance, chick-lit, and happily-ever-after. Catherine Bybee has an easy writing style that draws the reader in quickly and this book flows from start to finish. I highly recommend it.

I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions stated are solely my own.

Bybee does it again. Every book gets better. Loved this story. The situation and the romance really make for a great read.

I especially enjoyed the relationships between the three main characters - Rachel, Owen, and Jason. They were well-developed and felt real to me. Not Quite Crazy made me think about what really makes a family. It would be interesting to discuss with high school students, except the sex is too explicit, in my opinion, to use in a classroom.

I've read all the books in Catherine Bybee’s Not Quite series and Not Quite Crazy was one of my favorites. The book features Rachel Price and Jason, the oldest of the Fairfield brothers. Rachel and Jason meet quite by accident one snowy night. The characters chemistry is off the charts from the beginning. The books characters are both endearing and believable. The various plot lines will keep you engaged. I just wish the series didn't have to end.

I absolutely adore the characters in this book. The characters are funny and the storyline was well developed.

This just might be my favorite in the series because of the appearance of characters from earlier books in the series. It was really nice to see the Fairchild’s and Morrison’s again. Those Fairchild men are totally devoted to their “strong” women.

How many of us would jump in to raise the teenage son of our best friend when she passes away from cancer? That is what Rachel has done. .
She moves herself and Owen from California to Connecticut.to try and avoid a custody battle with the controlling grandma. Rachel meets Jason when she is driving way to slow in her first snow storm and causes him to go into a ditch. So what she helps this stranger out.. Sparks begin to fly. It is not until a few days later that she finds out that Jason Fairfield is her boss. She does not want the hassle of dating her boss.

This book is very well written and has quite a few of laugh out loud moments. I am sad to say this is the last booking the series Thank you for entertaining us Catherine.

Not Quite Crazy is the sixth and final installment in Catherine Bybee's Not Quite series and she definitely saved the best for last! I have enjoyed every book in this series, but there was something about this one that hooked me from the outset and I didn't want to put it down. As much as I hate to see this series end, I can't wait to see what's next!

I giggled like a little kid on Christmas morning when the publisher approved me to read an ARC of this book via NetGalley.

I loved Jason's book so much! The oldest Fairchild with the weight of the world (or at least the business) on his shoulders. He's spent so much time making sure his brothers were ok, he never worried much about himself. Then he meets Rachel quite by accident, literally, and he can't stay away. The only problem - turns out he's her boss. The scene they discover this is hilarious!

The romance is more of a slow burn than what you usually see in a Bybee book. I didn't even think about that until after I was done though because the book hooks you from the beginning and you will curse work and kids home because of snow that keep you from finishing.

I normally do not love books that involve teenage kids and drama, but I loved Owen and the dynamic he brings to the story. He may be only 15, but it would be nice if somewhere down the road he got his own story...hint hint. :-)

I'm "not quite" ready to say goodbye to this series - it's been so good from start to end. And no, you don't have to have read the others before this one, but you should. I started the series with book 5 and immediately started reading the others and then re-read them all to love the stories even more.

This book and series as a whole is one I will keep coming back to and re-reading over and over in the hopes that one day I will swipe left on my Kindle app at the end and find that it's not really over at all...

I was going to rate this book lower but I read in less than a day so it did hold my attention. I probably enjoyed the relationship between Owen and Rachel the best. Not sure the title fits well but overall a good read.

A brilliant story. Start to finish it keeps you hooked. I love it when I choose an ARC of this kind of quality, where I can rave about the eloquence of the author. One of my favourite reads of the year thus far.
