Her Kind of Hero
by Janice Carter
Four Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heartwarming is a good adjective for this book. It got off to a slow start, but eventually the pace picked up and the story was worth it.
The heroine of this story, Dana Sothern found a man who saved her life when she was a teen. When she reached out to him to thank him for his heroism, he challenged her to help with his youth camp. She rose to the challenge and volunteered for two weekends at the camp. This experience brought them together, however, their real lives away from the camp couldn’t be more different.
The heroine was a bit bristly and it was difficult for me to warm up to her, she was not very sympathetic in the beginning. Although I never really warmed up to her, I did understand why the author wrote her as a bristly, abrupt person. Also, the hero, Matt Rodriquez was almost as difficult as Dana to like at first. I think this added to the slow start to the story. Eventually, I enjoyed the way they interacted, and I understood better why they were not so open and friendly characters.
The scenes at the camp with the kids were fun to read, and Matt’s family were delightful.
Overall I recommend this book as a heartwarming story that includes disadvantaged youth, a charming youth camp, and characters who eventually warmed up and earned their happily ever after.
