When she saved a neighbor’s young son during a fire at her new row house home in lower Manhattan, everything changed. And firefighter Lieutenant Matt Lewis made it all the more confusing.
Yeah…he was hotter than any man she imagined being with, but could he be just like the rest of the hero heart-breakers?

—————————–
This serial takes place in New York, less than a month before Christmas. Kate is a radio DJ with a specialty in Communications and Social Media Strategy. She’s dreamed of having a Hero of her own for years, but the one she found in college used and abused her. When Kate rescues a young neighbor boy from a house fire, she’s suddenly a viral sensation and local hero, although her efforts warranted a hero to help her in return. With her home now burned to nothing, the homeless heroine somehow finds herself staying with her personal hero – in his home and in his arms.
All goes fine for a few days until a visitor shows up at Matt’s house and drops a bombshell of a cliffhanger… to be continued in HERO FOR ME.
There were several minor errors noted (an extra, missing, or misplaced word) throughout the book, however it’s not so bad that it completely ruins the overall vibe and flow – but I’d consider having a sit-down with the proofreader if I were Ms Love-Wins.
The characters, primary and secondary, are very likable. They have good dialogue and interaction. The flow of the book is decent, when not taking into account the minor errors (only 4 or 5). The plot was good for being such a short story, but did not have a lot of conflicting elements in it yet – it was more character development and plot set-up. Predictability was extremely low. This novella does not conclude but leaves it open for the next episode.
Hero For Me
~ She was hoping for a hero, but never realized who she would save. ~
This is a contemporary, new adult romance serial. For 18+ readers.
Kate Samuel met the handsome Lieutenant Matt Lewis, and it seemed like everything changed. He seemed like the only genuine man she knew, even though he was also a billionaire.
When her ex-coworker Joy announces that Matt is her man, all Kate’s faith disappeared. It was a painful reminder about all the hero heart-breakers she had already experienced first hand.
Were her instincts all wrong? Was Matt just another two-timing billionaire?

So, we’ve already met the characters and have begun to learn a little of each of their back stories. The plot continues where HERO leaves off. Kate leaves Matt’s and moves into a hotel near the radio station where she is threatened by a strange man after he breaks her door down. Part two of the serial abruptly ends at the Fire Fundraiser with an explosive cliffhanger to be continued in episode 3, HERO FOR CHRISTMAS.
Again, the characters are above average and likable, the plot is short but filled with good interaction. There is a little more dynamics in this episode of the serial than the last. The dialogue in a few places is not quite natural, but overall it’s pretty good. There were more conflicting elements in this novella to add a little more depth to the plot, which was very nice, but as is the nature of a serial, the conflict has no resolve as of yet. I am pleased to also find very little predictability. The ending is left open for the next episode to continue onward. Happily, I can also say I found less errors (added, missing or misused words) in this episode, however there were still two or three that I’d noticed that made it past the proof-reader.
Hero For Christmas
~ She was hoping for a hero, but never realized who she would save. ~
This is a contemporary, new adult romance serial. For 18+ readers.
Kate Samuel and Lieutenant Matt Lewis were finally together. With Kate’s attacker still on the loose, it didn’t seem like they could ever have peace of mind. Even with the power and wealth of Matt’s billionaire status, they were not safe.
When the men behind Kate’s attack threaten her life again, Matt takes matters into his own hands. Their escape to the Hamptons for Christmas seems like the perfect solution. But was Kate ready to face the ghosts of her Christmas past?

—————————
Part three picks up precisely where HERO FOR ME leaves off… Kate has just unveiled what she thought was the fourth corporate donor’s check at the Fire Fundraiser event only to reveal a threatening message addressed to her. Now they’re off to the Hamptons where security is tight as they prepare for the Charity Christmas Ball.
Same characters following the timeline, still likable. I have a minor issue with the dialogue at times with her using his name & he using hers on such a regular basis. That’s something a stranger does to implant another person’s name into the brain. The conversation during sexual encounters feels awful scripted as well. Other than that, the plot is decent and it flows well. There’s one error that I just could NOT overlook… it occurs on Christmas Day morning. The comment Matt makes BETWEEN “God, Kate.” and “I need you more than air.” Who’s Kara? I mean, that would have been like a bucket of ice water to me – and essentially was. Once more, the novella leaves off with a cliffhanger. This one is not as spectacular as the last and not as grand as it could have been.
*************************
SERIES OVERALL: I noticed Matt does not seem to work at the firehouse or at his businesses too often and everyone’s more that willing to accommodate him taking time off. He can be assuming and controlling one minute, then contrite the next. If demanding doesn’t work, he turns on the charm and pleads. She wants her independence but enjoys the efforts he puts forth in taking care of her… she wants it all.
The novellas are each under one hundred pages in length and it is a serial, so one leads into the next and so forth. There are no solid conclusions, there ARE cliffhangers at the ends. The overall plot is good, but again, with the short nature of each episode or part in the serial it’s really hard to feel the dynamics of it. One of the things I enjoyed most about this series so far is it’s ability to do just the opposite from what I’d been expecting it to do. There was no predictability for me.
My biggest concern was that Ms. Love-Wins’s proofreader was sleeping on the job when this passed their desk. It should never have gone to publication with the errors it has. Yes, it contains graphic sex but the series DOES come with a warning for the more easily offended readers. Watch for the back end review in early to mid-February, after parts 4 and 5 are released.
Author Bio:
About me: I’m twenty -three years old and work as a communications analyst in a small firm. I live a little north of Toronto and dream of moving to the small town of Grimsby, Ontario one day. Once I move out of the city I would love to have a Shih Tzu and 2 cats as pets and practice kids. I always wanted to write, which I why I completed a degree in Communications and Literature. I dream to improve my writing to where I can write fiction full time, and I know that it’s with daily writing practice that I will get better and better. I have one older brother and my parents live in Northern Ontario.
I find my stories to be about new adults and women in their mid-twenties, usually from wealthy families. This is because I went to school with the kids of some of the wealthiest families in Canada, and as I witnessed their woes first hand. My philosophy toward life is to believe that learning is possible, and that by learning everyday, we can improve and grow.
