Featured Reviews

Crazy About Cameron is the one of the best romance books. Not only does Katy Regnery come up with the best characters, she makes you believe in their love. Margaret Story and Cameron Winslow grew up as neighbors along with the other kids on Blueberry Lane. After Cameron’s father died and Cameron was forced to live in England, he always wondered about her. When he came back to Philadelphia, she was in Europe finishing school.

Margaret always felt Cameron tortured her when they were young by pulling her braids and calling her Meggie. Now Margaret is all grown up and is working for her father. (BTW a man I cannot stand.) Her father is constantly on her case because she is a female. She feels stuck in her job when all she wants to do is to grow grapes and make wine.

Cameron is left running his father’s business alone, after his brother went into politics. Cameron is struggling to keep everything going but is feeling overwhelmed and strained to the breaking point. He wants something new, but he doesn’t know what.

They meet back in the city and found that they live in the same building on different floors. Suddenly they are in each other’s presence and trying to avoid each other for various reasons, not just because Cameron is rude to her.

I was cheering them on happy with every step they took toward their shared destiny. I love these characters, they don’t just suddenly meet and fall in love, but they have had unrequited feeling for the other for a long time. I love how they were willing to be vulnerable with their feelings to be with each other.

Katy is one of my favorite authors and I always love her books, but this one really was special for me. I need to give the book six stars! I love this book!

I did receive this book from Net Galley in return for an honest review.

Cameron may be a broody man but he's kind and considerate, “I told you that when I came for you, there would be no half measures. Well , here I am. I want to be with you, baby. Is that what you want too?” Meggie sometimes has to go to extremes to get her man to listen, “of course I’m in love with you, you idiot! I’m not on birth control!” I liked this book, and the series. The Winslow boys know what they want and go after it.

A little of a slow start, but about 20% into the book I couldn't put it down. A boy next door and childhood crush in one book, oh yeah and millionaire love story. All my favorites in one.

This is your classic contemporary romance. Large, rich family? Check (a couple of them!) Parent/Child discord? Check! Boy and girl who have been secretly in love with each other since childhood? Check! I had a little trouble connecting to the characters because they have more money that I can even imagine, but they weren't assholes about it. Margaret is likable; she is a sweet girl who wants so desperately to have her fathers love. Her father is a giant narcissist and treats her terribly. I am glad that Shane was at least kind to her about everything that went down. I thought that Cameron and Meggie's relationship was natural and well paced. I enjoyed watching them both discover their lives passion. There is a little bit of suspense but it was fairly predictable so I wouldn't call it suspense at all. If you like Jude Deveroux and Judith McNaught you will love Katy Regnery. This is the first book of hers i have read but it won't be the last for sure! These are the type of books you love to escape with!
Review will be on my blog during the tour

I am truly enjoying Katy Regenry's Winslow Brothers series. I just completed book three, Crazy About Cameron, which focuses on the many facets of Cameron Winslow. Like his brothers, Cameron is wealthy and grew up in the Philadelphia area. Up until recently, he and his brother Chris ran their late father's financial business. Now that Chris is running for public office, Cameron is stuck doing the work of three people. Cameron eats, breaths and sleeps finance, and as a result, his social life is virtually non-existent. He never really loved the business to begin with, however, working with his brother made it more than bearable. Cameron wants a new challenge and Margaret Story, his downstairs neighbor and childhood crush, may be just what he needs in order to find happiness and fulfillment.

Megs, a sommelier and soon to be vintner, loves her vineyard on the outskirts of Philadelphia. She hates her job as an administrative assistant at Story Imports, her father's company. She is smart, beautiful, and has put up with her father's unfathomable negativity all of her life. She will never be the son he wants and his hurtful words have finally caused her to quit both her job and him. Now she can spend all of her time cultivating the vineyard, along with her new romance and business partnership with Cameron.

This touching and sweet read is replete with discovery, sexy times and a little madness. Cameron and Megs are truly goodhearted and generous people, and I liked them more and more with each word I devoured. Ms. Regenry does an amazing job of defining the characters and I felt that I knew them all intimately by the end of the book. Cameron and Megs are each others hero, as they forge forward together to make their dreams come true. This is a well-written story that twists and turns in all the right places. Get yourself a glass of wine, and spend some time with this feel good romance.

Crazy about Cameron is less serious and more fun than the previous two books in the Winslow Brothers series. Cameron Loves pushing Margaret's buttons. Whatever gets her to notice him. Margaret considers Cameron to be a nuisance that has terrorized her for as long they have known each other. As she gets older she learns not to take him too seriously. That proves to be her biggest mistake. I liked Cameron. His comedic, easygoing personality covers a well of deep feelings and a heart that seems more fragile than one would expect. Margaret is less confident than she presents and her outer personality proves her protection against her inner anxieties. I received an ARC of Crazy about Cameron in exchange for an honest review. I have read every book in the Winslow series so far. Ms. Regnery's ability to attract readers to her complex characters and poignant stories is why I am a huge fan. I look forward to reading every new release and revisiting prior stories. The personalities of her characters mixed with the combination of her writing style are mesmerizing to behold. One of my favorite authors .

And we have another happy sigh read from Ms. Regnery.

Crazy for Cameron was just as sweet, fun and engaging as Proposing to Preston, my very first book by this author, but with much less angst and instead of sniffling, I found myself chuckling more often than not as Cameron and Margaret navigated their way towards their happily ever after.

It was very difficult to not like both Cameron and Margaret. They are both genuinely nice and good people who live relatively normal lives and are both dealing with the knowledge that their lives aren’t exactly what they want them to be but attempting to stick it in order to appease others, at least until they find themselves using the same contractor for a project, then things start to get interesting.

Cameron and Margaret have an interesting relationship. They grew up together on Blueberry Lane, but they aren’t friends, nor are they exactly enemies. They occupy that weird middle ground where they’re attracted to each other but because neither can figure out just how to approach the other about it they keep a polite distance from each other. Well, Margaret does. Cameron becomes surly and picks on Margaret, but when they finally decide to act on their feelings it was a fun ride. It really was fun and sweet to watch as they stumbled through, and past, their preconceived notions of the other to find that their attraction was mutual, and burned quite hot, as well as the fact that they genuinely like who the other is.

While this one had much less angst than the previous book in the series, but it did have something of a mystery/suspense storyline to it and though I understood it’s purpose in the story, it didn’t really interest me all that much because everything else that was going on in the story overshadowed it for me. Outside of their budding romance, both Cameron’s and Margaret’s families add their own special brand of fun and issues to the table, especially Margaret’s father who I want to throttle. And then there is the winery and being a huge fan of the nectar of the Gods I really enjoyed how that played into the story. So there is a lot going on, but it all works to give depth to the story and show why Cam and Meggie are meant to be together

The Bottom Line: This was another fun, sweet and quick read and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with Christopher, the last Winslow brother standing.

**This book was provided by Rock Sta Lit PR, via NetGalley, for my review and enjoyment. THANKS!

4.5 luscious stars!!

I stinking love Katy Regnery. Seriously. I have never read a single sentence of hers that I haven't found utterly intoxicating. Crazy About Cameron was no different- I was all-in, from page 1.

Our protagonist, Margaret Story, first appears to be a stuffy Librarian type, complete with the tight chignon and white collared blouse. Cameron Winslow, could care less about her outward appearance though, all he knows is that he's been in love with his old neighbor since he was a 13 year old boy. His feelings have only intensified over the years, resulting in a cataclysmic explosion when he learns Margaret reciprocates his feelings.

Their two worlds quickly intertwine, and everything is laid out on the table. My favorite? Learning 'stuffy' Margaret is actually a little feisty vixen in disguise. Good stuff! Absolutely adore Katy Regnery, her style, and everything she gifts to us fans.

One thing I have loved about Regnery's book-boyfriends is that they all seem to give their whole heart when they find love and a lot of that I think is because they have been raised by loving parents who shared a forever love. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case for the leading ladies and in particular for Margaret and her four sisters.

I loved that Cameron and Margaret have secretly crushed on each since they were kids. Cameron was the typical boy that picked on Margaret to get her attention when most of all he just wanted to be the one to make her smile. They now find themselves living in the same apartment building and their hidden desires are even stronger.

Margaret has spent her entire life trying to please her Father. He has always made it clear that he wanted a son and had no use for daughters. Now with her growing feelings for Cameron she finds the strength to face down her Father when he tries to force her into a business deal that should be about the heart not business.

I loved the way Cameron and Margaret's dreams gradually intertwined. In him she found the strength she needed to walk away from her overbearing Father. In her he found peace and a new dream that he could build with the girl he has loved since he was thirteen. I also loved getting a glimpse of where life has taken the couples from the previous books in the series. Regnery has become one of those authors that I can depend on for a great read.

Oh my God, I think I am in love with Cameron Winslow.
He is a romantic at heart. Not to say he isn't an alpha male,
he is but he’s also sweet, considerate and compassionate.

He spent years yearning for the one who got away, a childhood friend, Margaret Story studious, cultured and as far as he knew, not interested.
Years later, when the two were reunited that thirst is still there, only Margaret isn't the sweet librarian he thought she was.

Cameron doesn't want to crowd Meggie afraid he'll scare her away little does he know she is willing and ready to be pushed, ravaged and taken.
She too carries a torch for the Wild Winslow boy.

I’m a pushover for a romance story and this one is mixed with a little bit of mystery.

When one door closes, another opens and this held true for both Cam and Meggie.
Each a prisoner to a job neither wanted but tethered by loyalty. I love that the story revolves around the vineyard.

It reminded me of my favorite movie French Kiss and I could visualize them walking hand in hand between the rows of grapes!

Why is it that some of the most richest and powerful men in business are also the coldest and cruel? I’m talking about Margaret’s father, what a bastard.
He may have been her father but he was in no way her daddy.

The performance Cam did at the kitchen counter to the tune of Marvin Gaye had me drooling and wishing I could slip a five-dollar bill in the waistband of his jeans.

Of course, the meat of the story is that sizzling bond that can’t be denied.

Fantasies, phone sex and impassioned moans of bliss left me asking, where the hell is my Cam?

Kudos to the author for delivering another swoony romance for me to feast on. Next up "Campaigning for Christopher" Winslow Brothers #4 coming in November 2015.

Cameron was working his butt off, he was running C&C Winslow. The company his dad and uncle started and then he and his brother Christopher took over. Now with Christopher off and running for congress, he has so much on his plate he can't even think about a relationship. The thing is that with Margaret (Meggie) Story living right downstairs he can't help but think about one, with her. He grew up on the same street as the Story family and has been infatuated with Meggie for most of his life. He did the things boys did to girls they liked, pulled her braids and teased her but it was all with deep affection. He thought if he kept her at arms length he could stop the feelings he had. Seeing her everyday was not helping. Riding in the same elevator with her, smelling her lavender scent and her asking him what she'd done to him to make him hate her; all of it broke him down. Now he knows that she's always had a crush on him. If he can uncomplicate his life he can make one with her, one he wants desperately.

Margaret Story has been all over the world learning about wines and how to make them. Now that shes back in Pennsylvania, shes working at her fathers company, trying to win his approval but it seems like no one can. She also has a winery she bought and is planning on fixing up to eventually make her own label and have events there. Living in the same building with Christopher Winslow is heaven and hell; heaven because she sees him all the time and he grew up in to a fine man but hell because he is incredibly mean and rude to her. Now that they're sharing a contractor he's different, kinder and more attentive. It doesn't hurt that she broke things off with the lukewarm guy she'd be dating.

Once Cameron stops fighting the desires and Meggie accepts that she'll never be the person her father wants her to be, they come together organically. He loves just being with Meggie and vice versa. Nothing is perfect though, things are a mess at her home, the contractor they shared is up to something and someone keeps trying to hurt Meggie. Cameron will do anything in his power to stop who or what is trying to hurt her.

I've made no secret of my love for all things Katy Regnery. Her guys are swoony and her girls are down to earth. I love that all of them have flaws, they feel real to me. I wish they were so I could talk to them lol. Cameron is serious and carries the world on his shoulders, he wants to fix things for everyone and its sweet. He had to come to the realization that he could only help himself to help others. Meggie is sweet and loving, wanting to do anything to win the approval of a parent that saw nothing but flaws. Mr. Story is a total dick, like I want him to burn in a building with the amount of loathing I have for him. I have loved all of the others but something about Cameron made him a little more lovable to me. Maybe it was his dancing in the kitchen, or maybe it was how much he loved Meggie and showed her after he stopped worrying about everything else. I am as always eagerly awaiting the next in the series. If you've loved the other books, this one won't disappoint.

"I'm going to give this everything I've got, Margaret. I promise you will never regret inviting me into your heart."

A heartwarming, sweet, and sexy read that will have you Crazy About Cameron!!! So sit back, grab a glass of wine, and prepare to fall head over heels with the sweet and charming Cameron Winslow. Crazy About Cameron is a story of two childhood friends who are crazy about each other but never had the right timing in expressing their feelings about one another. Well, when they finally were at a place in their life, they finally couldn't just sit back any longer and watch their chance at love to slip away. So can Cameron and Margaret make their relationship work even though they have family expectations to live up to? Is their crazy love for each other enough?

Crazy About Cameron is definitely your feel good love story that had a case of minor drama inserted into the story line. The story was well-written that flowed at a great pace. What I enjoy about this book was that this book could be read as a standalone since the author wrote it in a way that the story solely focused on Cameron and Margaret. So if you are looking for a book that reminds us all to take a chance on life and love then Crazy About Cameron is the book for you.

This is the first book of the series that I've read. I may go back and check out the other brothers' stories. This was sweet, slightly angsty and a good read. I won't say it was great or kept me prisoner in my chair, (I did put it down and pick it up a few times) and the ending was way too cheesy (all of the spouses pregnant at the same time) Way over the top.

Reading a Katy Regnery's book is like to unwrap Christmas presents. Some are expected and some aren't. This is what happened with her stories. Something expected happend (usually the best part) and something is always new. What I loved in this book is that Margaret and Cameron's lifes feel real, can be overyone life. Who in life is not stucked in situation they don't want to live? Who has the job of its dream? Not me for sure. That's why it was so easy to relate with Maggie and Cam.

“Seeing Margaret's bright and animated face, her words exuberant and confident, reminded him that there was so much more to work than drudgery, and that work could be glorious when it was driven by passion.”

Margaret is working with her father just because she feels to be her duty. But her father would have wanted a son not a daughter to run his business. He is always unhappy and disappointed by Margaret. I really hated him. Maggie is a sweet creature and she has a dream: to have a winery. She knows what she wants to do with her life and even if she is stucked with her father she makes everything in her power to realize her dream. The Five Sisters wineyard is her piece of paradise, the place where she can be who she really is.

“She had the strangest feeling that with Cameron by her side, she could live the life she wanted to live, instead the one that duty had thrust upon her.”

Cameron on the other hand is running the company created by his father, no longer alive. His brother have pulled back and now he's alone carrying on a business only for family legacy but not for passion. His passion is Maggie, always has been, since he was a teenager. He wants to live a wild life and Maggie and The Five Sister wineyard is what he really needs to be happy.
And it's impossible not not love Cameron so sweet and caring, a giving man.

“Today he'd also learned something crucial about Margaret's yin to his yang. On the outside, they might have looked, as she suggested last night, like a librarian and a hothead, but the beauty of their inverse symmetry was that he somehow encouraged her to loosen up, and she somehow inspired him to grow up. And the net of the equation was a feeling of profound rightness when they were together.”

The story is sweet, heartwarming with a little bit of mistery.

And I loved the final scene where all the Englishes and the Winslows are reunited together for Alex and Jessica wedding. To find all my favorite characters all together was simply heart touching (and I can't miss to cry a little!).
In this book we get a glimpse about Christopher Winslow, the hero of the next book and I know it will be really interesting (politics, love...). Keep reading this series Ladies! It's great!

In my reviews I try to be honest, and tell what I feel reading the book. Someone asked me why I always give Katy's books five stars, they I can't be objcetive. Yes, maybe I'm a little bit impartial about her, but I think they have not read one of her books.
She has a way to write that is honest, heartwarming, fun, sexy and so easy to read that it's impossible not to fall in love with such a great author. CRAZY ABOUT KATY!

“You make me feel new.”

My Review:

Katy Regnery writes adorable love stories with an edge, an edge I really happen to like. Her stories are always well-written, easy to follow, delectably steamy, and unfailingly entertaining. I enjoy her interconnected stories as well as her easily identifiable characters and the crisp and humorous dialogs between them. I seem to have fallen in lust/love with every single one of her multi-talented leading men as I read each new installment. I fear I have become hopelessly addicted.

Kate Regnery has very quickly become one of my favorite authors. I have loved every book she has written, and CRAZY ABOUT CAMERON is no exception. I love her ability to build a relationship between the characters that is believably paced and always realistic. You can literally feel the chemistry between Cam and Meggie as they are pulled deeper and deeper into a passionate romantic relationship..

Every book in the Blueberry Lane series is a delicious and delightful read that you don't want to leave when it ends. There is definitely enough "naughty" to make it nice. Cameron Winslow is a not and sexy panty-melting alpha-male with a sweet side. There is nothing better than a macho man with a gentle side. Ms. Regnery has perfected the genre! Each book seems to be better than the last. How is that even possible?

CRAZY ABOUT CAMERON was a winner in my playbook. I highly recommend!

Reading this book reminds me how far I come in my romance reading journey. Over time, I think I had become a shallow, jaded bitch. I found myself needing instant gratification! I don't like suffering through half the book with sexual tension only to have them do the deed so late in the book. Yeah, I totally sound like a loose woman.

This book is a fun and endearing read. Cameron Winslow and Margaret Story are the upper echelon of Philly. He was the boy who used to pull her pigtails and annoyed her to no ends. Until this day, when they end up living in the same apartment building, he's still giving her the cold shoulder. What non of them realize is they are the star of each other dirty fantasy.

A chance to use the same contractor to fix a bathroom that doesn't need to be fix, Cameron decided to engage with Margaret to co-share a contractor, in order to just see her more. Ain't he cute. Anyway, it seems like nothing get done in the renovation part.

Margaret is the girl who is trying so hard to win her daddy affection. But all that man can think of is why he end up with five girls instead of a son. Misogynist, much? When Margaret finally had enough and decided to work on her dream of having her own vineyard, she found a special kind of closeness with Cameron.

Oh, Cameron. He's such a perfect gentleman. Can I just say the sexual tension here is driving me loco and Cameron need to do something about it stat! His love for his sister, Jessica was bound to melt your heart. But honestly, Jessica gets on my nerve with her whining. Who cares for big wedding, well apparently the upper echelon does. And Cameron is moving heaven and earth to make it come true for her.

There is a hint of danger and suspense towards the end in regards to Margaret's vineyard got broken into. I like the extra layer of mystery we have here, but it was quite easily resolve.

So far, I'm enjoying this Winslow Brothers series, is the kind of perfect afternoon read that doesn't hurt your head, guarantee you a sweet ending and whole lot of swoon.

I didn’t think anything could compete with my English Boys, especially my main squeeze, Stratton, but Cameron did what I thought was impossible. He made me forget about them. I read this book cover to cover in three hours. I couldn’t put it down, I didn’t want a break. I just wanted to stay lost in Cameron and Margaret’s story.

“I notice that you don’t say hello. I noticed that you wish you were anywhere but trapped in an elevator with me making small talk. I notice that, although you know how much I hate the nickname Meggie, you never miss an opportunity to use it.”

Cameron started out being a jerk (my favorite), but you quickly realized why he was this way. He has been hopelessly and irrevocably in love with Margaret Story since he was thirteen. Unfortunately for Cameron, his life was currently a mess, and he wanted to be able to give his all to Margaret, and that just didn’t seem possible.

“Margaret Story was the unaware star of Cameron’s filthiest naughty-librarian fantasies.
Always had been. Always would be.”

Margaret wondered where she went wrong with the boy who used to pull her pigtails when they were kids, but as much as she wanted to know, she needed focus; focus on her job, her apartment and her up and coming winery. Sadly (or maybe not so), Cameron never failed to shift her focus to him, and their verbal foreplay was the star of this book.

Crazy About Cameron brought more emotion than I felt in the past from Regney’s stories. My heart broke time and time again for Margaret and the relationship she had with her father. You understood her need to please him, and you just want to smack him around when he treated her like trash. You felt deeply for Cameron and the difficult decisions he faced with his father’s company. Both Cameron and Margaret had to either spend their lives pleasing others, or learn to make themselves happy.

By 4% in the book, I had already highlighted 7 passages. That is how outstanding Regney’s writing is. She uses the same words as everyone else, but somehow puts a stunning twist on them. You would think that her stories about privileged kids, who grow up to be privileged adults in an exclusive section of Philadelphia would grow tired and repetitive, but each addition to the Blueberry Lane series brings a fresh and new storyline. We get to visit with some of our favorite couples while moving the stories forward. The chemistry between Margaret and Cameron is hot, hot, HOT!! Just wait until you get to the sexting scene. DAMN!

I am going to be thinking about this one for a long time. It’s just simply a timeless love story. Every single word and moment felt authentic and simply stunning. I read it cover to cover in 3 hours and it was absolute perfection! There is not one thing I didn’t like or would change about the story. I hesitate to say Cameron might replace Stratton, but this is hands down, Regney’s best book yet. I absorbed every single word like it was the last drop of water on earth.

This, in my opinion, is Katy Regnery's steamiest book yet!! Having read every one of Katy's other books, including a few close-door/fade to black stories, I actually caught myself blushing at a few of the more steamy parts. Good on ya' Katy!!!

Cameron and Margaret's story was a long time in the making, since they've known, and secretly crushed on each other since they were in grade school, so it actually felt like their romance moved at a pretty quick pace. The feelings were well established so it didn't seem to take much for them to deepen. The sexual chemistry was ridiculously high between these two and I couldn't get enough. If you love quick, easy romances with just the right amount of sexy then this is a book you're definitely gonna want to pick up. There is even an element of suspense for those of you who like a bit of a mystery. This whole series is a must-read even though each book can be read as a stand-alone.

My Favorite Quotes:

"Five seconds ago, he would have answered it was a naked woman, spread eagle and willing on his bed, her skin flushed, her pupils dilated, her pussy hot and tight, ready to suck him forward and beg him to finish inside. But he'd known fuckall about sexy until Right. This. Minute."

"You have to understand. When I come for you, there'll be no half measures, Meggie. When I come for you, I'll be coming with everything I've got."

I found this story to be sexy and romantic. Crazy About Cameron tells the story of two people who has loved each other since they were children. However tragic circumstances would prevent them from exploring their feelings for each other. Fast forward several years later we see the two reconnecting, which provided them with a second chance to explore their attraction to each other. Will Margaret and Cameron cease this opportunity or will they allow outside influences prevent them from being together.

The sexual tension between Margaret and Cameron was so intense that it leapt off the pages. Cameron has been entertaining naughty fantasies about Margaret which she had any idea about would make her blush.

Margaret and Cameron are from wealthy, but this was where their similarities ended. Cameron was from a loving and caring family while Margaret spent most of her life trying to win her father’s love and approval. The way that man treated his daughters was a clear indication that he was a male chauvinist. Each time he made an appearance I wanted to knock his lights out.

Cameron was the type of guy most women dream about having in their lives. He was overwhelmed with running the business that his father left him as such he was not keen on getting involved in a committed relationship. He feared that if he should get involved with Margaret she would end up getting hurt as he would not be able to give her his undivided attention. As such he was willing to sacrifice his happiness if it meant protecting Maragret. He is the type of guy who loves with every fibre of his being. They brought out the best in each other which made them perfect together. I could not help but root for them.

Aside from the romance between Margaret’s and Cameron’s there were other events taking place. This event would end up placing Margaret in danger. This added some amount of intrigue to the story.

The story was well written, the pacing was just right and there was never a dull moment. It held my interest from start to finish which made it difficult for me to put it down. It is my opinion that this title, which can be read as a stand-alone, is a great addition to the Winslow Brothers series. I will be eagerly awaiting the next book in the series as I am curious to know what next the author has in store for her readers.

Two lost souls finding their soulmate.
Two wandering spirits finding their kindred spirit.

This is how I would describe Cameron and Margaret's story. And a beautiful story it was. Getting to know them in the beginning, we see how on the surface they seem so different, but the more we are exposed to, the more we see how very much they have in common. The lives they are living are unfulfilling, stiffled, and misdirected. Changing direction will take courage. Seeking their heart's desire will take vulnerability. But watching them journey through these many emotions to get where they are meant to be was enchanting.

I loved Cameron and Meggie's romance and the journey it took to get there. When I step back from the reading and look at their overall picture, their lives as a whole, and what it took to get there, I fall even more in love with them. The chemistry, camaraderie, and connection between Cameron and Meggie swept me right in. They were the perfect fit for each other. Their journey was not without its challenges, but they were able to strengthen each other and give each other the courage and bravery to take charge of their lives and their future. I think Cameron actually moved into my top spot of Regnery heroes. I simply loved him, and the beautiful relationship he grew with Meggie.

I'm crazy about Cameron (and Margaret), after reading this sweet, enchanting romance. I love all the intertwining families and characters in these series, and look forward to hopefully many more romantic, heartfelt stories from Katy. She's my go-to for sweet romance.

Crazy About Cameron is bestselling author Katy Regnery's third story about The Winslow Brothers and is the ninth book in the umbrella series that is Blueberry Lane. The timeline here overlaps with the first two stories and culminates with the wedding of Alex English and Jessica Winslow, whose love story is found in Anyone But Alex (book three of The English Brothers and in the Blueberry Lane series). Cameron, third in the Winslow brood, and Margaret's, second eldest among the Story sisters, romance brings together two families that grew up together on Blueberry Lane, alongside the Englishes, Rousseaus, and Amblers.

I have yet to read the books about The English Brothers but have read the three currently available books in The Winslow Brothers series and don't feel too lost (although I do have plans of reading the first series, hopefully before the Marrying Mr. English novella comes out). Cameron and Margaret have known each other since they were children but had several years of separation after Cam's father suddenly passed away. Now that they're older, Cam still teases Meggie a great deal while keeping his distance, due in large part to his feelings for her and acknowledging that she's involved with someone else, a fact that irks him.

How cute is it to have someone who had a crush on you when you were kids fall in love with you when you were adults? I love stories like this because there's a history there that you can't find in other romance tropes, not even second chance romances which tend to be limited in scope to the history when the couple first fell in love. But the story isn't limited to the cutesy parts because there's a lot of heart when it comes to the family interactions Cam and Meggie have with their siblings and Meggie's relationship with her father is quite heartrending. There's also a bit of suspense though the perpetrators are pretty easy to spot.

One of the most important things of note about this book was choosing between continuing a family legacy and starting your own. Both Cam and Meggie were faced with having to make important life choices after having worked for years in their family-owned companies but no longer finding the satisfaction they once had. There is no denying the pull these characters have when it comes to their respective families, but sometimes, the decision of taking a step back and surrounding yourself with supportive and accepting people who become your new family is one that needs to be made. Crazy About Cameron gets five stars. ♥

Though I never had any doubt, I have to say it...Katy Regnery has done it again, creating another smash hit with Crazy About Cameron. The writing is flawless, the plot comes with the amazing romance and witty banter Katy always has in her books, plus there's an added dash of suspense to help spice things up.

I'll admit, when I first starting reading I was worried that Margaret was going to be one to kowtow to her father, but thankfully she shows her strength and determination instead. It's wonderful to see her doing what she loves and following her dreams. Cameron actually sort of is in a similar position to Margaret at the start of the book, stuck in his father's business...though his path to change is a bit different than hers.

The fact that they've known each other for most of their lives adds a sweet element to their story, especially as we look back and see how they interacted when they were young. As adults, things are much different-and that's where the great banter comes in...along with plenty of sexual tension and heat. Cameron wanting to hold back until he can be there all the time for Margaret is admirable, though for the reader it creates those ack!-I-need-them-together-now feelings.

The two of them together, well they just click perfectly and as a reader I found myself desperately wanting them to be together. The tension continues to build as well as the suspense when Margaret's safety is threatened, and between that and the hot moments between her and Cameron, I couldn't tear myself away from this book.

Yet another superb addition to the growing Blueberry Lane series, Crazy About Cameron was a fantastic 5-star read for me. I'm adding it to the rest of the English and Winslow brothers books on my top recommendations list, and if you haven't read any of the books in the Blueberry Lane series, you really are missing out on a truly special set of stories. Recommended for 18+ due to adult language and sexual situations.

This book was all over the place but, in a good way.

Cameron, s put in all the responsibility of the company him and his brother own. While running C&C Winslow., Cameron has no life. It does;t help his childhood rush lives a floor beneath him. Having Maggie around now all the time and that close is driving him insane. He doesn't appreciate her at work. he's a totals excuse my french. Anyway after awhile of Cameron and Maggie keep catching each other the sparks begin to fly.

Another hit for Katy Regency. I just love the Blueberry Lane Series. Just keeps getting better. Can;t wait to see what next from this author.

I'm slowly coming to realize how much I love a dirty talker...and Cameron Winslow is fantastic! He's deep, introspective, smart and intuitive--and also crazy hot attractive. Plus, he's amazingly romantic for the right girl...who happens to be Margaret Story. There are so many great things going on in this deeply romantic, sweetly moving book about childhood friends turning into lovers that I can't wait for everyone to read it so we can discuss! I think Cameron may just be my favorite Blueberry Lane man ever.

Margaret doesn't know why Cameron Winslow hates her. He has always picked on her--even when they were kids! And now that they're adults, he uses every opportunity he has to glare at her--and since they're living in the same building now, that's almost daily. Ugh. It's not enough that she's having to deal with her jerk of a dad who's never happy with the job she does simply because she's a woman. It's enough to make her want to run off to her little vineyard in the countryside and hide there, all cozy and warm, forever.

Cameron's got a life plan and right now, it doesn't include a relationship. Ever since his brother Christopher decided to run for office and left him with the entire business, he's been up to his neck in work. Even though he's had deep feelings for Margaret Story since they were kids, he's not going to make a move on her until he's got the time to do it for real.

But as we all know, sometimes love just doesn't wait for the right time.

I just loved the push/pull of emotions in this book. Cameron is moody and broody, and I was on tenterhooks just waiting to see when he'd burst into flames over his hidden feelings for Meggie. Margaret's sweet nature, her love for her vineyard, the luscious, cozy nest she'd created for herself in the little cabin...all these things spoke to me. I loved waiting to see when the inevitable click would happen and she'd realize that he really actually "liked" her! It was delicious and so empowering for her.

The two places--the apartment building and then the vineyard cabin--also seemed to represent the two sides of the main characters. The more sophisticated, "expected" sides and then the fresh, open sides they wanted to be. Cameron and Margaret were both so much happier at the vineyard and I love the fact that she was able to bring that to him. Throw in the mysterious FedEx packages and the contractors from H$ll and you've got an interesting, funny and sweet romance that's sure to make you smile. I loved it and it's my favorite so far! Go Team Cameron!

I ended my review of Proposing to Preston by saying that I was hoping that I wouldn't regret my decision to read Crazy about Cameron. The truth is that I didn't, but the frustration from the ending of the book is still with me. Don't get me wrong, the book had a 5 star potential, but the story about Priscilla and Meggie's ex boyfriend was a disappointment. I knew that Cameron and Maggie were going strong and nothing was going to break them apart, so I focused on Priscilla and Shane's story which was happening in the background. The story had a lot of potential which the author didn't take advantage of. The half sentence in the epilogue did nothing to satisfy me and it only brought up more questions. I will be really disappointed if they don't get a novella or a mention in the next book. I truly believe it will affect the way I see the author. I as a reader live for the teases of upcoming books in the story I read and that relates deserves some for exploration.

Meggie might seem like another silly heroine, but she isn't. She got my approval when she managed to put two and two together fairly quickly, didn't whine about every little thing that went wrong and went for what she wanted. Cameron is also a great character and he handled everything very well. I like him more than Preston.

The thing is that once you read a book in a series you start to wonder about the other characters. For example, I found out that Jessica has a book of her own as a part of another series. So of course I am going to read that. And then Cameron is good friends with two of Alex's brothers, who happens to be Jessica's fiance, so 2 more books are added to my to read list. And they say stand alone. So at least three more books are added on my tbr list, not counting Chris's book which is going to be the final four The Winslow Brothers unless I missed a brother.

I liked the relationship between Meggie and Cameron. I shipped them from the first time they saw each other. I liked how both of them knew what they wanted and went for it. I am going to love seeing them in the future books. The story didn't have a lot of drama which made the book a very easy read.

This is the third story of the Winslow Brothers series, featuring serious workaholic Cameron and his longtime childhood crush Margaret. Their families grew up together on Blueberry Lane, but family circumstances separated them, though as luck would have it, they both now have apartments in the same building in Philadelphia while Margaret works at her father's company and Cameron is trying to keep his deceased father's business going. Their relationship has never been easy - antagonistic usually, though this was just a mask for the deeper feelings they had for each other. As they slowly start to realize that perhaps things between them aren't so straightforward after all, can they find a way to put aside those childhood feelings and enter into a deep and meaningful relationship?

I really enjoyed this story, and having read previous ones in this series and the English Brothers books as well, it was neat to see the little plot tie-ins and the overlapping storylines. That isn't to say that this doesn't read well as a standalone, because it does, but it just goes to show what a well developed writer the author is and her ability to intertwine the lives of all of these people in delightful ways. Margaret and Cameron have shown up in little cameos in other stories, but this one takes what you know about the characters and delves deeper into them. The story is told from both points of view, and it's clear from the start that each has had a hidden crush on the other, only revealed now when Cameron finally gives a hint that his antagonistic feelings towards Margaret's current boyfriend (not in the picture for long) might be because he wants the opportunity to be with Margaret himself. There is a definite attraction between the two of them which is finally realized in some delicious love scenes (including a super steamy sexting session!). More importantly though, they finally reveal to each other the truth of their feelings, both being bold enough to come forward and admit that they want a future together.

Margaret's character is one of a friendly, very put together, conscientious and hardworking business woman. She has some cracks in her facade where her father is concerned, a cold hard and unfeeling man, but with Cameron's support she gets herself out of the things that have been dragging her down and is able to focus full time on her love for wine. She's started a winery and is determined to make it a success. I loved seeing her realize her dreams and overcome the negative impact her father has had on her life. Cameron comes across as hardworking and overtired at the start, but once he makes some key business decisions, the lightening of the stress on him is easy to see and he is much cheerier and happy as a result. They bring out the best in each other, Margaret helping Cameron unwind and Cameron supporting Margaret's visions for her vineyard. There is some small drama that takes place in the second half of the story, external to their burgeoning relationship, that adds some tension into the mix, but the overall mood of the story is fairly light and quite romantic. It was a charming story and a great addition to the series. 4.5 stars.

Katy Regnery is back in outstanding fashion with her latest edition to the Winslow Brothers series Crazy About Cameron. This is a continuation of the Blueberry Lane series and is Katy's 20th release - amazing! Cameron Winslow and Margaret "Meggie" Story certainly did not disappoint in this third Winslow book. It was a classic romance - sweet but oh so steamy! Once again she made me have to really think hard about what brother is my newest favorite!

They have known each other all their lives. They grew up in the same prestigious neighborhood. Cameron has always felt a pull towards Meggie - even doing as any little boy who likes a girl would do. He teases her and pulls her braids. Even as a grown man with grown up feelings, Cam resorts to mean digs as a way to avoid how he truly feels. Margaret has had her own fears and insecurities to bear. She was always the quiet child trying to please a father who couldn't make time for her because she had the gall to be born a boy. She finds solace in her vast knowledge of wines and the winery she has recently bought. All the while she, too, has been fighting her attraction to her sexy as sin neighborhood who happened to be her tormentor as a child.

They are brought together by two things - a contractor and a wedding crisis for Cameron's sister Jessica (Ohhhh... she FINALLY gets Alex!). As their romance blossoms, the serious librarian and handsome hothead find amazing chemistry and a love for each other that has been there always. Cam must resolve some issues with his business while trying to find his own way. Meggie must find the strength to be her own person and let go of insecurites. Together they find balance. Cameron found the steadiness and the calmn he had always craved. Margaret found that she could let loose, have fun and simply be her true self.

Cam and Meggie's story was so much fun to read. Cam is so very swoony and his determination to be everything and give Margaret everything was great to see. Margaret's sadness concerning her father broke my heart. But when she found her wings she made me cheer! Katy did a fantastic job of telling their love story and bringing their love to life. I couldn't put this one down, so once again at 4 in the morning, I found myself bleary eyed but oh so satisfied. FANTASTIC, Katy!

Let me start by saying that I love Katy Regnery's books...I don't think I have read one I didn't like. This is the third book in the Winslow Brothers series - it is Cameron's story.

Cameron Winslow is trying to keep the family company alive after Christopher left for the campaign trail to follow his dream. Cameron is overworked and has no social life - he comes home to an empty apartment and he is tired of his life. He wants more but he feels a responsibility to his family and his family business. It is Margaret Story, who keeps him going. He has been attracted to her for years and just a glimpse of her makes his day so much better. He can't voice his attraction because he knows he cannot invest the time in a relationship that she deserves. He so badly wants to walk away from the family business and follow his own dreams - which include Margaret.

Margaret has always been in love with Cameron but she lives her life trying to please her father...and that includes dating the man he expects her to date. She lives her life trying to make everyone happy, except for herself. Cameron and Margaret start to interact more when they both hire the same contractor and they find themselves forced to deal with the feelings that they have hidden for years.

Katy has a way of writing that makes you want to have a man like that all of your own and Cameron is no different. I enjoyed her English Brother's series and the Winslow Brother's are in the same category. I have to say that this isn't my favorite in this series...Preston holds that honor...but this is a really good read.

Why did I want to read it?

I’m always intrigued by stories where the guy is with an unrequited love type of situation. It’s always interesting to hear their ‘voices’. And this book’s set-up really did hold promise when I first read the blurb.

What worked for me?

Just to echo what I said above, I always enjoy reading about characters having hidden crushes or feelings with each other, with the other person none the wiser, hidden beneath a veneer of indifference and sometimes even a little angst because, Tension!

I also appreciated it whenever Cam and Meggie would become introspective. They acknowledge all the feelings, even if to themselves alone, all these feelings they have inside.

I also love how the relationship between Cam and Meggie transitioned. Some might find it a bit sudden or fast, maybe. But for me, this doesn’t feel like that at all. What it felt like was that it had been a long time coming for these two, like they’ve been circling each other’s lives for a long time even when they don’t even see each other. Simply put, the connection has always been there.

I feel for Meggie when it came to her conflict with her father, who’s a special kind of jerk if you ask me. But I love how she rediscovers herself in all these.

But my favorite part about this book is definitely Cam! I just love how earnest and steadfast Cam is. As he would repeatedly say, he doesn’t do half-measures in his life. And it shows in every aspect. I can’t describe him well enough. I don’t think I did him justice here. You just have to read about him in this book to experience the whole Cam effect.

What did not work for me?

There were just a couple of minor details in the book that rubbed me a little the wrong way. For instance, and without getting into anything spoiler-y, there was, for me, a bit of typecasting of certain people and out-of-character responses from the characters that made the story feel uneven to me.

My over-all take on it?

If for anything, you’ve got to read this for Cameron. He is such a sweetheart! This is my first Kate Regnery book and I have to say that I am loving her writing style. I love that while this book has its sexy moments, it also has a lot of heart. This was really an enjoyable read.

As always, a story from Katy Regnery does not disappoint. Her eloquent writing brings the story to life every time I read her work. I can equate the experience to watching a heartwarming romance on The Hallmark Channel. Her way with words and the characters she creates have away of giving me the perfect visual as I read... And that's pretty hard to do. I live to read and read VERY often, but it's always difficult for me to picture the characters or the scene that's playing out among the pages. Katy Regnery just has a knack of making her writing into an art form that can actually put me into the story and see it all happen before me.

I have been counting down the days for this book to be in my hands! Well actually, I love any Katy Regnery book and do not hesitate to buy every single one of them. Cameron Winslow and Margaret Story's love affair is sexy, wonderfully sizzling, and heart-warming. Their sex moments take on a life of there own and their heartfelt conversations are just as compelling. This series of brothers is one of my favorites and I recommend it to avid romance readers. You won't regret it!

I love Katy's style of reading romance. As a long time lover of writers such as Sandra Brown and Nora Roberts, I really appreciate the sweet stories that are not overloaded with sex scenes, and this writing is just the right balance for me. I loved the dynamic between Cameron and Margaret and the building of tension, only made more potent by the underlying threat throughout the series. Slightly predictable story, but often sweet style romances are, and I have no problem with that. I will enjoy diving in to Katy's other books!

Christopher Winslow for Congress!!! This is the 10th book in Katy Regnery’s Blueberry Lane series. Although it is part of the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. But be warned once you read one book of this series, you will want to read the rest. It’s that good.

Christopher Winslow was a man that wanted to make a difference in the world so he left his family business to campaign to run for congress. He was a man that lived his life for his political career always on the straight and narrow. He had nothing that could get in his way, no skeletons in his closet, no dirty laundry. He was an opponent’s worse nightmare. His opponents were always trying to find ways to tarnish his public image. His sister’s wedding was the perfect opportunity. Target a down-on-her-luck waitress feed her a line of how evil he is and let her do the dirty work. Julianne was that woman. She is a woman far from home pursuing a modeling career and waitressing for a catering company to make ends meet. With just a couple of modeling jobs under her belt and no prospects in her future, she was trying to decide if she should just return home. So when she was approached by the man in the black hat to take down the “evil man running for congress” she saw that as her opportunity to do something worthwhile enabling her to go home with her head held high. It’s in this final act that she learns a lot about herself and who she is and Christopher understands his capacity to love, forgive, and trust.

To forgive or not to forgive. This decision is what made this book so good. Chris really had to look at himself and see what he was willing to forgive and add to that the fact he was falling in love with her. Watching him go through the gamut of emotions to get to where he needed to be and where all the readers knew he should be is what made this book for me. That and watching Jules never give up on him and herself. To stick to her guns and be true to herself no matter how uncomfortable it may have made her feel. It's nice to have a heroine with so much integrity and truth to everything she does even if it was a little misguided at first. You still saw she was doing it because she felt it was right. A beautiful story about finding out who you truly are and finding how to love and forgive along the way.
