First, I'd like to commend the author for writing a standalone. A great deal happens in this story--a great deal--and there were any number of places where the dreaded cliffhanger could've been inserted and this book drawn out into a series.  That she was able to take SO MUCH action and reaction and emotion and tie it together so perfectly in just over 300 pages takes a level of skill many authors do not have.I can take or leave a hero. They don't make a story for me and there were many, many times when Maverick frustrated me to no end. Windsor, though, was perfection--as a heroine and for Maverick.  She's a little bit scarred and a little bit broken, but she doesn't allow that to color her life.  Certainly she's protective of a heart that's been broke once too many times, but she remains open and loving and giving of herself in a way that inspires devotion from others.  On the flip side of that, she's also strong enough to know when enough is enough and doesn't allow herself to be an emotional punching bag or a doormat.  It was a delicate balance and beautifully crafted.
