Product Description:
Annie Parks came to Hawaii to gather information and settle a score, not spend time handcuffed to a sexy stranger's bed. Okay, so this particular stranger saved her from drowning after she was pitched overboard by some goons. And he's about six feet of hard, Hawaiian muscle and gorgeous cool that's making forgotten parts of her say, "A-lo-ha!" She needs to stay focused, but a side dish of Kane Travers is awfully tempting. Kauai Police Chief Kane Travers is not a vacation kind of guy. So it figures that when Internal Affairs suspended him, he'd end up rescuing a sarcastic, dishonest, extremely hot redhead who is clearly hiding something. Amnesia? Yeah, right. Kane's got half a mind to give Miss Whoever She Is something she'll never forget. His cop senses tell him that the lady's in deep and needs his protection. But how can he get her to tell him anything when all he wants is to take her home and do everything?

Kauai, Hawaii
Police chief Kane Travers in on involuntary vacation, awaiting the results of an internal investigation, and he has enough activities to fill only three days. Luckily, when he’s walking down the beach by his house, he spies an unconscious naked woman. Now he has something to do on his vacation, because when she wakes up, she is a mystery and a mouth.
Annie Parks wakes up arguing and doesn’t stop. She doesn’t want to tell Kane who she is because she’s out for revenge, planning to find the man who bilked and abandoned her mother, confront him, make him suffer, then kill him. So she doesn’t want the police involved, except to find him. But Chief Travers is a bossy Alpha male used to getting his way and he’s in Annie’s face all the time.
Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy is perfectly titled. The repartee between Annie and Kane is the soul of the book, and a delight it is. The relationships between Kane and the other men in the book are also well drawn. If you like feisty heroines with attitude, this is the book you can’t pass up! HelenKay Dimon has a bright future!

Has it all!: (2009-03-10)
This story has it all, great characters--scratching more than just the surface, great dialogue, funny, witty and sexy, and what a locale! Right from the beginning you are drawn into this book. Kane is an excellent hero, with just the right amount of pain and suffering to balance his macho image. Annie is a delightful heroine, a woman who can definitely hold her own in any given situation. I loved how Kane called her old fashioned names when she claimed amnesia--Fern and Mabel, very funny. Kane was a complex man who had suffered love and loss, Annie was a less complex woman who would be the one to heal him. It seems like you wouldn't find it believable he would handcuff and woman he didn't know, a woman he knew was in trouble, to his bed--yet you did believe it. It seems like you wouldn't find it believable Annie would simply hang around with him a complete stranger, a cop no less and with her on a lam so to speak, but it was believable. The secondary characters, Derek and Josh were also very intriguing--it would be great to "see" them again. This was actually my first book by HelenKay Dimon and I've preordered her soon to be released It's Hotter In Hawaii because this book was so great.
Smoking Hot and Funny: (2007-08-13)
Helen Kay Dimon has written a funny, hot and sexy story in Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy. Police Chief Kane Travers is forced to take a vacation when charges of wrongdoing are circling around him. Kane has gotten bored after only a few days. That is until he finds a naked woman barely breathing on his stretch of Hawaiian beach. Annie Parks has come to Hawaii to find the man who scammed her mother. She was so close to the man until she was thrown overboard a yacht out in the ocean. Annie is grateful to be alive but not so happy to be the prisoner of the Police Chief. Kane slowly gets some of the story out of Annie and this sets off a chain reaction that is connected to the case that forced Kane's vacation. Kane has his hands full trying to keep Annie safe and keeping the danger away from his family. Kane and Annie's road to romance in paradise is filled with sassy and witty dialogue. Their chemistry leaps off every page. They snap and sizzle in and out of the bedroom. Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy is a true find. I strongly recommend this book to every romance reader. It's a gem.
Snappy and Simple But Still A Winner: (2007-08-03)
Another new contemporary writer--hooray! This is a quick-witted, fast and enjoyable read set in a new locale--Kauai! The setting descriptions and discussions of the real choices the locals have, inform the reader that the author knows her setting. The male lead is a charmer but rather than another overwhelming Alpha male--he seems more regular guy who would rather solve a tricky puzzle game involving a mysterious half-drown naked lady, than spend some vacation time relaxing. Secondary characters are interesting but the plot has some weaknesses with the villian--who comes in so late to the story we don't care anymore. Can't wait for the next book from this great new writer--hope she does some more set in the REAL Hawaii, too!
Crazy Hot!!!: (2007-07-16)
Helen Kay Dimon turns up the heat with Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy! If you like your romance sexy, sassy, and a little sweet, you'll love this book. Dimon strikes just the right note with her smart-mouthed heroine, Annie Parks, and hunky hero, Kauai Police Chief Kane Travers. I've read several romances that use the Hawaiin islands as a backdrop, but never one with a native Hawaiian hero. Dimon's insights into this unique culture are spot on, the dialogue sparkles, and the sex scenes are crazy hot! It's apparent that Dimon truly loves all things Hawaiian, and that's what romance is all about. If you're looking for a fast, enjoyable, SIZZLING summer read from a writer who gets it right, look no further than Your Mouth Drives Me Crazy by HelenKay Dimon.
