Don't Call Me Hero by Eliza Lentzski
4.0
Eliza Lentzski's "Don't Call Me Hero" is a captivating novel with a plot composed of second chances, inner struggles, and a sizzling romance (I mean SIZZLING) set in a small town in northern Minnesota. The novel also immerses you in the complex world of Cassidy Miller, a retired Marine battling PTSD, and Julia Desjardin, a city prosecutor (AKA Ice Queen).
This novel is told entirely in a first-person perspective, and offers a raw and relatable glimpse into Cassidy's struggles, her sarcasm, and her awkward charm.
Julia, on the other hand just hides beneath her aloof exterior. Lentzski brilliantly weaves their characters together, creating a magnetic chemistry that simmers with tension, antagonism, and the occasional spicy scene.
The story's well-balanced blend of action, police investigation, courtroom drama, family conflicts, and romance between Cassidy and Julia kept me thoroughly engaged.
Would recommend this book, but totally important to understand that there needs to be a lot of suspended belief here to enjoy it.
