Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century
From veteran entertainment reporter Sam Kashner and biographer Nancy Schoenberger comes the definitive account of the greatest Hollywood love story ever told—the romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Kashner has interviewed Elizabeth Taylor numerous times and is the only journalist given access to her extensive collection of personal letters and journals, and he and Schoenberger have also interviewed the Burton family at length, including Burton’s actress daughter Kate. This is truly an authorized and singularly informed biography of these two larger-than-life stars, and of their glamorous, volatile, and audacious relationship.

mind-blowing love
This is how I would translate. There is a connection between the source-text ("descabelado" from "cabelo") and the translation I'm proposing ("mind", which is associated to the head).

Note: Of course, the above example sentence wouldn't translate well as "amor descabelado" back into Portuguese. I would rephrase it to "amor arrebatador"(6 segredos para um amor arrebatador). They are synonymous IMHO.
