Falling In Love With Crazy is the heartbreaking but also uplifting story by Dane Waters that shines a bright, uncompromising light into the murky world of a mentally ill man and the man who falls in love with him despite all of the quirks, obstacles, and delusions that threaten to pull him away forever.Ryuu Tanaka is a college professor who, while jogging, sees a gorgeous man sitting under a tree in the park. Despite Daniel's blunt manner and reluctance to engage with him, Ryuu finds himself so fascinated by Daniel that he spends days cruising around various places looking for him. When Ryuu finally locates Daniel, he persuades Daniel to come to Ryuu's house and give him five days to make him fall in love with him. Ryuu finds himself falling deeper and deeper in love wirh Daniel, but he sees himm slowly slipping away into the worlds inside his head. The final straw is when a homicidal student, obsessed with Ryuu, attacks both of them, severing Daniel's last tenuous grip on reality.This story has a gripping character driven tale with a plot that flows smoothly and seamlessly from the first page until the last. The backstory gives you a taut, no-holds-barred look at what past tragedies drove Daniel to retreat from reality. The sex in this story is passionate, wild, and tender without being overly graphic. The author's style of writing is simple,to the point, and makes no apologies for its clear, concise look into the inner world of a mentally ill man, and the love, devotion, and loyalty he inspires in the man who loves him. The heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful HEA ending makes this a book I absolutely LOVED, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone!!Trish's 5 sweet pea review appears at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=13281
