When danger closes in, she holds close to the only man she’s ever loved…
[MY THOUGHTS]
4 out of 5 stars
To be honest, The Hero felt like an action film. There's some mystery, action, and romance. Everything was well balanced, and I really enjoyed it.
The series is about the Loughman brothers. Wyatt is the oldest. Owen is in the middle. And Cullen is the youngest. All three of them are in the military. And all of them have been avoiding their home in Texas because of their dark past. When their father gets captured during a mission, the brothers are called in for help.
This book is about Owen. When he finds out how his high school sweetheart is involved with the mission, his heart starts beating again. He left her for a reason. And she deserves more than the life he can provide her.
Natalie's heart was in pieces when Owen left her. It took years to put her life together, but she did it. She learned to survive without him or any other man. But when she sees Owen, she knows that she can't keep him out of her heart.
The romance between the characters is sweet and touching. Owen is a true hero and does whatever needs to be done to protect Natalie.
My favorite part of this story is that it takes place in Dallas, Hillsboro, and Waco. My backyard. The story even involves Baylor University. (Sic'em bears!!!) It was so easy for me to visualize the cities and campus.
