I don't know if I can do this book justice but I'm sure going to try. This book is just as the title says... it was CRAZY GOOD y'all. I loved this story. I strayed up all night reading because once I started, I could not stop. It was sweet, sexy, HOT, sad, heartbreaking, and full of angst. This book will tear at your emotions in such a deep way. It is not only a love story but it is also about second, third and fourth chances. It is about living life and taking chances. It is about going above and beyond for the ones you love. It is about being true to yourself and knowing you are worth it.I loved the hero Maverick. He is a Navy SEAL (I mean who doesn't love a military man). He is a total man ho when we meet him. He uses women for the one thing he thinks he can get from them and moves on quicker than you can blink your eyes. When he meets our heroine, he is literally knocked on his butt by his feelings. Maverick has such a good heart though. I will say that Maverick dues have a dark secret that could year then apart. His times in war were sad and dark. There is no other way to describe them. It makes you appreciate it military men and women that much more.Now on to the heroine Windsor. I loved Windsor. She was smart, funny, but a risk non rush taker. She lives for numbers and didn't like change or taking risks. She was always scared of risks and how it could jumble up her life. When she meets Maverick, sparks fly. She denies she wants him. She totally turns him down. But a girl can only hold out for so long and when these two came together, it was beautiful.Now on to the hard parts of this story. The prologue is a total mind eff. I mean seriously! Chapter One then backs up a year and a half and shows us how they get to that point. Their romance is different. They are each holding back for their own reasons. They are both afraid to let each other in because of past awful relationships. They both have seriously effed up families so a HEA seems impossible but when you take risks and live for the moment, anything is possible. There is also an incident that happens toward 3/4 of the way in the book that had me sobbing and going through the emotions with the characters. Oh gosh. It was sad. I won't give away any spoilers but have tissues ready for several scenes in this book.I also loved the secondary characters. I loved Gretchen. The scene where she is dressed in lingerie and holding a riding crop- classic! I also loved Morganna. She was fierce, determined, and so freaking loyal even when she didn't have to be. I loved Stone. He was Maverick's voice of reason. I really didn't care for Steve but to reach his own. He spelled TROUBLE! I hated Nash in the beginning and he grew on me by the end even if he is the ex.This is my first book by this author and it surely won't be my last!! I'm hoping she continues this series with some of the side characters!  5+ AMAZING STARS! Go one click this book today!
