THE HERO is the first book in Donna Grant's Sons of Texas series. It's her
first contemporary romance so I was eager to see what she
would have in
store for her readers. Right off the bat I could see the
shift in writing style.
I think this is important to note because not every author
changes their
style to fit the genre they are writing in, so I'm very
happy that Grant decided
to go with something different for this series.
This series is quite heavy on the action and suspense. While
I do believe
Grant does do a good job on that, there were some glaring
issues that I think
prevented me from fully believing in the story. There was at
least three parts in
the first three chapters of the book that made me have to
step back and
consider things. That makes me believe the initial set up of
the story
wasn't really executed in the best way possible. I feel
like concrete truths of
the real world were twisted to fit this one and that would
be okay in a
paranormal romance, but not in contemporary romance, which
is what this
series is. Therefore, I wasn't fully sold on the premise of
the story.
Grant gets bonus points for imagination but again, I simply
wished the
execution was better.
However, if you can overlook those mistakes, then I think
you can come to
enjoy THE HERO. The balance of the romance and the action can
sometimes bleed into one another too much, but for the most
part, I did
enjoy it. I'm looking forward to seeing what Donna Grant
has in store for readers
next.
Owen Loughman is a highly-decorated Navy SEAL who has a
thirst for action. But there’s one thing he hasn’t been able
to forget: his high school sweetheart, Natalie. After more
than a decade away, Owen has returned home to the ranch in
Texas for a dangerous new mission that puts him face-to-face
with Natalie and an outside menace that threatens everything
he holds dear. He’ll risk it all to keep Natalie safe—and
win her heart.
Natalie Dixon has had a lifetime of heartache since Owen was
deployed. Fourteen years and one bad marriage later, she
finds herself mixed up with the Loughmans again. With her
life on the line against an enemy she can’t fight alone,
it’s Owen’s strong shoulders, smoldering eyes, and sensuous
smile that she turns to. When danger closes in, how much
will she risk to stay with the only man she’s ever loved, in
The Hero by New York Times bestselling author
Donna Grant.
