Hero

De: Samantha Young

Narrado por: Angelica Lee

The emotional and unforgettable new romance from the New York Times best-selling author of the On Dublin Street series.

Alexa Holland's father was her hero - until her shocking discovery that her mother and she weren't his only family. Ever since, Alexa has worked to turn her life in a different direction and forge her own identity outside of his terrible secrets. But when she meets a man who's as damaged by her father's mistakes as she is, Alexa must help him.

Caine Carraway wants nothing to do with Alexa's efforts at redemption, but it's not so easy to push her away. Determined to make her hate him, he brings her to the edge of her patience and waits for her to walk away. But his actions only draw them together and, despite the odds, they begin an intense and explosive affair.

Only Caine knows he can never be the white knight that Alexa has always longed for. And when they're on the precipice of danger, he finds he'll do anything to protect either one of them from being hurt again....

“Blazingly hot.” (Publishers Weekly)

I'm not sure Hero is my Hero

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes. I love Samantha Young's On Dublin Street characters and wouldn't have believed it ifI were told by someone else these characters were a bit ho-hum.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I love the background story of how Alexa Holland's and Caine Carraway's lives were entertwined and how they came to work together. I thought the plot here and the content of the writing was very inventive and interesting. I would say the first 3/4 of the book kept me interested. But I got bored with Caine's pulling back again and again -- it felt tired. And when he came around, he came around in such a way that seemed very in consisted with his character. The ending felt rushed and not well thought out. The incident which triggered all this did not bother me but I wish it had been woven in a little earlier. I really wish the back section were rewritten altogether.

Which character – as performed by Angelica Lee – was your favorite?

Alexa Holland

Was Hero worth the listening time?

Yes. It was good. But I was hoping for great. I want to read about another Braden Carmichael!!!!

Any additional comments?

I will now wait a while before I buy Samantha Young to first see what other reviewers think.

I will ruin it. Just read it. if you hate romance.

I will ruin it if I discuss it. If you hate romance it will suck. lol.

Excellent Romance

Would you consider the audio edition of Hero to be better than the print version?

Didn't read the print version

What did you like best about this story?

While the Middle Class heroine meeting a Wealthy businessman isn't new, the progression of the relationship was actually refreshing. Alexa's comedic moments were awesome and realistic. Loved her spunk.

Have you listened to any of Angelica Lee’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love this narrator. Her deliverance is always awesome.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed, of course. I also cried. Bur while I understood Alexa's issues, Caine's issues just didn't seem significant enough to warrant his attitude.

Any additional comments?

Great book, great listen.
