What did you love best about Unexpected Hero?

I loved how the lead character didn't back down and fought for what she believed in, all while being a flawed character. The characters in the story weren't perfect, all dealing with their own issues as the faced challenges.

What other book might you compare Unexpected Hero to and why?

Can't think of any at the moment.

Which character – as performed by Samara Naeymi – was your favorite?

I liked Jenna - there was variety and depth to her "voice."

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Neighborhood improvement? Not for the neighbors...or the mob...who will come out ahead?

Any additional comments?

Really enjoyed this story - both listening to and reading. The characters all had issues you could relate to making them more real. I enjoyed how they worked through their issues as they faced unexpected challenges.

Wow! Another grab you read

If you could sum up Unexpected Hero in three words, what would they be?

Excellent series beginning. I enjoyed the sexual tension buildup between Jenna and Josh. This book has drama centered on women without making the women pityingly weak creatures. Yes, they are in unfamiliar territory in the woods but they are not weak. It's funny and serious. I love the way the author writes the alpha males. They are flawed but so dependable and HOT.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Unexpected Hero?

I never begin a series unless it's finished. I simply don't have patience to wait months. I read the books. Then I got to listen to this audible version. I want the others made into audible. I would so buy them. I did receive this audible book from the author. I freely give my review. I honestly love the story and this audible version.

What about Samara Naeymi’s performance did you like?

Narrator was great and only enhanced an already good story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Nothing was wrong with the narration.

Any additional comments?

Loved the dynamics of Jenna and Erika's friendship. Witty, snarky dialogue kept me reading.

4 1/2 stars 🌟

I really liked the narrative of this audiobook, it really kept my attention on the story. The main action seems to happen near the end of the book, but the lead up is a great journey!

Loved the story

I enjoyed the story and the characters. A couple of the guys were easy to dislike, which I think was the author's goal. The lead characters were easy to pull for, and it was an entertaining story. Only real complaint is that the narrator didn't do a great job with the different voices, some of them were annoying to me. I wish the 2nd book was available as an audiobook, but I bought the Kindle version because I wanted to find out how the story ends.

YES!!!!!

I love the characters. They are both strong willed sexual smart witty characters. The power pulling them close even as they fought it. I love reading about military men so strong an sexy. They both have had past that has damaged them. I have to admit when the voice came on saying it was ending I yelled NO not yet. I love this author. the narrator was really good too.
