Hero by Lauren Rowe
5.0
So when I was on a Kindle Unlimited binge late last year (after I first discovered it) I read like… hundreds of books. And severely neglected my Goodreads. So I have read this before, but I didn’t log it.
Actually, I’ve read this MANY times before, because it’s one of those books that’s got so many good bits it’s so easy to re-read.
I adore Lauren Rowe. Her books are serious but fairly low angst. In this one, the hero Colby is a firefighter whose been seriously injured on the job. The heroine Lydia wins up as his physical therapist and feels an instant connection to him as her husband was a first responder (police officer) killed on the job 3 years earlier. She also has 3 children.
This book is insta-love, which I usually hate, but it really, really worked for me. Maybe because the “insta-love" is a mutual attraction they both feel while neither can act on it? Colby is injured, Lydia is his PT, and then they hold off because she’s dealing with emotions from being with a new man for the first time.
But there was so, so much I loved about this book. Colby is a genuine, protective, smart, sweet, gentlemanly hero. The relationship between him and Lydia’s kids were just… too cute. And I’ve read all the Morgan brothers books so I adore the whole family.
Also, the steamy parts - once it gets going?! Hot. Especially when they try to keep things “Jane Austen” level by just talking… or kissing… or touching.
