Not A Hero
Not A Hero, (Sons of the Survivalist Series, Book 1), by Cherise Sinclair
Blurb:In the Alaska wilderness, four streetwise boys became men—and brothers Now the crazy ex-military survivalist who plucked Gabriel and three other boys from an abusive foster care home has died. But the sarge leaves them a final mission--to revive the dying town of Rescue. Gabe is done with being a hero. Wounded in body and soul, the retired SEAL simply wants to remain holed up in his isolated cabin. He sure doesn’t want to be chief of police in some defunct town. But he has his orders.Audrey needs a place to hide After the Chicago librarian discovers a horrendous crime, she wakes to an assassin in her bedroom. Injured and terrified, she flees, covering her trail every inch of the way. New name, new ID. New home. As Audrey learns to survive in Rescue, she begins to fall for the town…and the intimidating chief of police who protects it. Can the shy introvert and the deadly police chief find a life together? Despite the discord in town, Gabe is finding his own peace…with the quiet young woman who seems to have no past. She’s adorable and caring and so very lost. But how can he trust someone who lies to him with every breath she takes?My ReviewAfter reading Defiance, the short story that was meant to introduce this series, I thought I wasn't going to like it; I wasn't keen on the short story and although intrigued by the four brother, it didn't hook me. However, since I'm a Cherise Sinclair fan, I dutifully preordered Not A Hero and began reading the day it appeared and I ended up really enjoying it! It's not hardcore BDSM like her other books, in fact although the hero, Gabe, is definitely an alpha male, there is no BDSM play, which, I'll be honest, was a little disappointing, since Sinclair is the only BDSM author I truly enjoy - her books not only have hot, kinky scenes, but also well developed characters, great writing and (for the most part) interesting plots, not just sex like so many other BDSM books. However, I do like that she's decided to make this series more mainstream and I don't think it takes anything away from the story, it's just different for someone who's used to reading her other books. In no way does it effect the heart wrenching romance and connection between the hero and heroine, which is actually the reason I like her writing so much anyway! As usual, Sinclair didn't disappoint with her characters! I loved Gabe and Audrey was brilliant, too! The secondary characters, as usual, really added to the story and I'm now very defiantly hooked on this series and can't wait until the next book comes out. Apparently it's going to be Caz's story, which I kinda guessed when Z (yes, Master Z shows up in this book!) takes him aside for a chat. :-)
