Holding Out For A Hero by Codi Gary Review
4 Smooches
Synopsis
He wasn’t looking for love…
Two years after the death of his wife, Sergeant Blake Kline is still hurting. He isn’t ready to date, but whenever he stops by his local diner and sees the friendly smile of his favorite waitress, he feels a spark of true happiness again. And when her life is unexpectedly threatened, Blake discovers his feelings for her might not be as platonic as he thought.
She was holding out for the hero of her dreams…
Bookworm Hannah York has always been a hopeless romantic—preferring book boyfriends to blind dates—and she’s been day-dreaming about Blake since the moment he came into her diner. She’s convinced they’ll never be more than friends… until Blake kisses her and “weak in the knees” becomes more than just a line from her favorite romance novel. The closer Blake and Hannah get, however, the harder he fights to keep her at a distance.
But forever has a way of sneaking up on you…
When their blossoming relationship takes a complicated turn, Blake will have to face his past… or risk losing Hannah forever.
Review
Holding Out For A Hero by Codi Gary is the newest full length stand alone in the Men In Uniform series. This is a series that I have fallen for and it is no wonder. When you mix strong sassy heroines, hunky alpha males and an abundance of dogs how do you not fall in love.
Holding Out For A Hero revolves around widower Blake and innocent bookworm Hannah. Blake is not the easiest man to love, he makes Hannah work for it constantly but she is relentless and never gives up on him and the possibility of a them. I adored Hannah. She wore her heart on her sleeve and never allowed anyone to make her feel like she was unworthy. She even manages to make perpetual grumpy Blake smile, laugh and let go. But Blake comes with the worst form of baggage and it may be more than even she can handle.
‘This attraction to Hannah seemed like a betrayal to Jenny, and he hated it.’
A sweet romance with touches of humor, sexiness and tension Holding Out For A Hero is a, easy read that is easy to get lost in. While third person is not my personal favorite but Codi’s writing makes it easy to read and fall into the story. You will love watching Blake and Hannah fall in love and learn to cope with the past.
