Her Unexpected Hero

Unexpected Heroes Series – Book 1

By Melody Anne

Synopsis

Would you recognize true love if it sat down next to you? In this unforgettable new spinoff of the Billionaire books from New York Times bestselling indie author Melody Anne, two strangers must look past their painful memories to make way for everlasting love.

Alyssa’s modeling career came to an abrupt end when her manager boyfriend emptied her bank account and ruined her professional reputation. Now she’s heading to a new town in Montana to rebuild her life—if she can even get there (stupid delayed planes!). But things are looking up when she’s upgraded to first class and a mysterious stranger sits down next to her…

Jackson Whitman doesn’t believe in love, or commitment, or forever—not since he lost his wife and daughter. But the beautiful woman sitting next to him at the gate has him rethinking that position. Can he convince her to be his for the night? Or will she convince him to be hers for a lifetime?

Michel’s Review

Fans of Melody Anne are going to love this book.  Readers that are new to this author’s work are in for a pleasant surprise if they are looking for a contemporary romance that is an easy read and not overly thought provoking. For readers that are looking for that extra something special, this is not the book. The overall plot does not have a new formula that will have the reader oohing and awing over the originality. In the same token, although the overall plot was predictable, it was entertaining.

A random meeting in Paris leads to a one night stand. Alyssa is a famous model and Jackson is your brilliant billionaire. Alyssa is the rebound after getting out of hurtful relationship. Jackson is also gun shy where relationships are concerned.

Both end up in the same small Montana town. Alyssa ends up pregnant. Her trust issues hinder her from moving forward with Jackson. Jackson pretty much bends over backwards for Alyssa.

After a lot of back and forth, pushes from friends and relatives, and final surrender the two finally get together. Their precious child is the glue that kept them from completely falling apart.

I had a hard time connecting with the characters. Alyssa seemed a little too hard, too judgmental, and too unforgiving. Jackson also came across as a bit clueless, which contradicted his known intelligence. I also felt that this series made too many references to the series it spun off of. It almost felt like I had to back track and read that series in order to stay afloat in this series.

Overall Her Unexpected Hero was entertaining. Personally I look for a plot that is a bit more intricate, I look for stronger character development, and I look for twist and turns to make the story unpredictable. I had this story nailed throughout the book. There were no surprises that endeared me to this story.
