Holy Crap! Seriously, Holy Crap!I just have to write this. I know it's obvious, but I still have to write it:Crazy Good is crazy good!!!You have simply got to read this book. Rachel has written one of, if not the best, self-contained erotic romance novels I have ever read. And I don't say that lightly. I have read hundreds of erotic novels. Most of them were parts of series, giving the author plenty of room to spread out and tell an epic love story. However, it is not often I've read a single self contained erotic romance novel that is able to successfully tell an entire epic love story without it feeling rushed, or feeling like the reader has been left hanging with unfinished business.Crazy Good is one such novel.It features Windsor Forbes and Maverick Hart. Windsor has been burned once before by a man she thought she loved and planned on marrying. That experience left her bruised and unwilling to trust again.Maverick is a Navy SEAL. He is a true manly man, tattooed, tough, strong, good at his job, and used to bagging a new girl every night. He has never had a real relationship, and sees no value in it. He thinks he's happy with his life, not understanding just how hollow it really is.Everything changes when the two of them meet in a bar.Windsor is best friends with Morganna, who is happily married to Maverick's SEAL buddy, Stone. Stone has a long history with Maverick and would do anything for him. He knows that Maverick deserves more, and he hopes that Windsor may be the woman who can give it to him.They start off slow, both unsure about how to proceed, but once things start heating up, they really heat up. The sex is blazing hot. The love they begin to feel for each other is palpable. Windsor decides to take the plunge and trust again, and Maverick starts to realize how much he's been missing in his life.The opening chapter is a bit of a gut punch, which left me reeling, and that was before I even knew these characters. I think it was a bit cruel for the author to start us off like that, but I forgave her, and you will too.The book is told from alternating perspectives, which I really like. It gives us a peek into the minds of both characters, which I think only broadens the experience for the reader.You really must read this book. I can't stress that enough. I promise you will have a new favorite book boyfriend in Maverick. Heck, if I wasn't a straight guy, I'd go for him myself. He is incredibly sexy, masculine, but without being obnoxious about it. I think most women would totally swoon over him. And Windsor is strong enough to stand up to him, strong enough to deserve him. Together they make for a powerful new couple in erotica romance.
