I love a good roller coaster. This book starts out in the present day and makes you say WTF right off the bat. Without knowing the past, you hate the hero almost immediately and he can't even defend himself. We are then thrust into the past and get to live the meeting of Win and Maverick as well as their entire relationship. Their meeting had a great twist and you wouldn't believe the twists & turns in the story. I was surprised many times throughout their relationship together as well as while he's deployed. Rachel provides a differnt view than a lot of authors. She pulls you in and draws out nearly every emotion you can think of during the ride that is Win and Maverick's relationship and their lives. There are several moments that will stay with me for a long time. There were many times where the book could have ended, but Rachel did not cheat her readers. She did not take the neat and easy, cookie-cutter HEA. She continued the complex relationship with honesty and realism. Fot this, I am thankful. We even get closure for some of the secondary characters - which was refreshing.I liked every character in this book. I don't get to say that often enough. The women are all intelligent, independent and confident. There just aren't enough characters like that. The men are all Navy Seals, so you need a special kind of woman to be with them long term and I'm so happy with Rachel for her choice in characters. If your looking for a read that will grip you tightly, draw you in, is full of Seals as well as adrenalin with a love that is genuine and relationships that are real, look no further and one-click right now.
