I have enjoyed all the books I have read in this series. As for heroes, I have read way too many books to select a specific one. Also, as a man, I see heroes from a totally different perspective than most of the women. I like a hero who can whup the bad guys single-handedly, like Chuck Norris in "Walker, Texas Ranger".
I read the electronic version but would love to own the paperback book. I found the meaning of the name Ainslee interesting because the street I live on was named after a man named Ainsley. I wonder if that is the female version of Ainslee. The street crosses a hilltop so the person who named it clearly did not know the Scottish meaning, if it is in fact a female version of the name.
