Her Hero

Schwartz Patton takes care of hiding Janelle Keebler as a favor for his brother.  Her sister Anna, is married to his brother Grant.  Janelle has a drug dealing, murdering, scum of an ex-husband who is trying to find her.

Schwartz hides her in his cabin in the Montana wilderness.  For a city girl, she really likes being away from it all.  Like him, she can work from home on her laptop.  As a graphic designer it does not matter where she is to work.  She even learns to love his dog that is part wolf.

Janelle is worried that her past has clouded her future.  She believes she has bad taste in men.  She is uncertain where her life will lead from here.  Will she have to hide from her ex forever?  Her attraction to Schwartz, however, is immediate.

Schwartz has to protect her.  He has a past that makes him feel like a failure in his military family.  He feels like he should be alone.  He punishes himself.  He cannot make a mistake with Janelle.  The attraction will just have to wait.

This story is so good about PTSD and self esteem.  I am not sure the author intended that, but it is a sincere book about building someone up.  I was impressed with the honesty the characters share right from the start.  He really does protect her and the banter alone is worth reading.  I give this story 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
