I didn't want to misspell her name ;) and it was a love inspired suspense!

There's one called Crazy For You, where the ex refuses to believe the relationship is over and becomes increasingly unhinged. Crusie handles it brilliantly -- it's comic and disturbing at the same time. And another one (is it Getting Rid of Bradley?) where the ex keeps trying to dispose of the heroine's dogs. Actually, that's a theme for Crusie -- the ex in Crazy For You tries to get rid of the dog too!Emily Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958085922194448672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-80440527493974165142011-02-20T13:54:47.084+11:002011-02-20T13:54:47.084+11:00Hi She!

But sadly it had her turn into a kickass heroine instead of having a hero ;) <br /><br />So reading about where the heroine has a delicious hero is an added bonus ;) <br /><br />There were a couple of books though and I remember one.
