FALLING FOR THE HOMETOWN HERO

The soldier's second chance

After returning home wounded from an IED attack, former soldier Kaleb Palmer is hailed as a hero. But survivor's guilt makes him feel like a fraud. He hopes setting up a business in Ouray, Colorado, will give him a purpose and help him forget. But his new office manager has her own plans. Grace McAllen brings light and hope wherever she goes, and she's getting Kaleb to open up. As she helps him make Mountain View Jeep Tours a success, Kaleb realizes a happy ending is in reach, if he can convince Grace to stay in town -- and his life -- forever.

My Review:

 A heart-tugging tribute to hometown heroes everywhere. I was moved to tears in places as I lived Kaleb's pain -- and his triumphs -- right along with him. A truly humble hero; a man of faith with a surprisingly optimistic outlook on life...as long as he doesn't have to be confronted with his hero status and all the memories that stirs up. Kind of hard to do in a town that won't let him forget.

Grace is a feisty heroine with a chip on her shoulder and a stubborn desire to keep it there. She's prone to hoarding negative emotions until she's wallowing in them. But there's something about Kaleb's relentless, easy-going ways that have her dropping her guard. Opening up more than she wants to. He has the ability to make her look beyond herself. That's both difficult and rewarding even though she fights change with a dogged determination.

What a great set-up for their ensuing romance. Attraction versus caution keeps Kaleb and Grace dancing around the truth. A riveting read right to the very last page.
