Sexy Johnny Ramos, an Army Ranger two weeks out of Afghanistan and hoping to join the Special Defense Force (SDF), stumbles upon an old flame from high school. Esme Alden was the cool chick everybody wanted a part of, including Johnny. But why is she dressed in hooker apparel trolling the streets of Denver when she was the hottest, smartest girl in school?

Curiosity getting the best of Johnny, he pursues Esme and winds up totally involved in her scheme. Johnny gets drawn into being her protector and eventually learns she's on the run with a half a million dollar painting she's stolen. Racing against time, Esme, along with her P.I. partner Dax, has been contracted to recover the stolen painting for the original owner. Esme is desperate to pay off her dad's dangerous bookie to save his life.

In their quest to achieve this goal, the pistol-packing trio end up in fast car chases and life threatening situations, but not before Esme and Johnny partake of long- awaited, sizzling hot sex. When Esme finds her father and mother are being held hostage, fast action and lots of bullets fly.

There is on-the-edge-of-your-seat excitement throughout LOOSE AND EASY, as it is in all the rest of the Crazy series books. Tara Janzen is a very exciting author who's written a clever, action-packed story. You can't help but fall in love with her characters. This is a fast-paced and extremely difficult book to put down -- a must-read if your heart can take it!

SUMMARY

He's the bad boy she always wanted.

She's the good girl that got away.

He’d know her anywhere. Johnny Ramos had just come off a tour of duty in Afghanistan to find Esmee Alden trolling the mean streets of Denver in red lace and leather. The smartest girl he ever knew turning tricks? Not even close. Esmee’s in danger so deep, only Johnny can get her out—which is why the elite government operative is shadowing her every move. Esmee had everything planned down to the last detail: dressed in disguise, she’d recover a stolen painting and pay off her dad’s ruthless bookie. Until Johnny Ramos, her high school crush, blows into town and nearly blows her cover. Now Esmee, a P.I. and an art- recovery expert, has a mother lode of bad guys on her trail…including the one bad boy she always wanted: Johnny. But passion will have to wait. Because when bullets start flying, suddenly they’re on the run, playing it fast and loose—and heading straight into the line of fire.…
