Synopsis:
She's always been off-limits...
Former Army Special Forces Sgt. Marco Vieri has never thought of Alyssa Scott as more than his best friend's little sister, but her return home changes that...and challenges him to keep his war-borne demons at bay. Marco's not the same person he was back when he protected Alyssa from her abusive father, and he's not about to let her see the mess he's become.
...but now she's all grown up.
When Alyssa takes a job at the bar where Marco works, her carefree smiles wreak havoc on his resolve to bury his feelings. How can he protect her when he can't stop thinking about her in his bed? But Alyssa's not looking for protection—not anymore. Now that she's back in his life, she’s determined to heal her forbidden hero, one touch at a time...
Review:
**4.5 stars** Her Forbidden Hero is the
first book in The Hero series by Laura Kaye. Unlike many of the books
I tend to read, this is in no way a paranormal story. It centers
around Alyssa, who moves back to her hometown after finishing
college. She lands a job at the bar where her childhood crush works.
She knows that he is back home from being injured in war, and wants
nothing more than to be part of his life.
Marco is best friends with Alyssa's
older brother, so they've known each other for years. Marco had made
a vow to keep her safe while her brother is still at war. He is not
happy about her working at the rowdy bar, and he is definitely not
happy to find himself very attracted to her. She is off limits.
Alyssa finds that Marco has changed
since he was deployed. One minute he is kind and the next minute he
is angry and pushing her away. The war has changed him physically and
emotionally. Marco's issues seem very realistic for someone who has
been through a traumatic experience such as this.
This was a pretty quick read (almost
too quick) – and I was interested from page 1. The author did a
wonderful job portraying the emotions throughout the book. Not only
are there emotionally moments, but there are romantic and sexy
moments as well. It gets pretty steamy, but it's not just about sex.
There is an emotional connection and it's very swoon-worthy. I have
enjoyed everything I have read by Laura Kaye so far, and this is no
exception. I'm very much looking forward to reading the next book,
which features Brady – Alyssa's older brother.
