Parker really is the golden boy – patient, kind, and understanding right from the start. If you are looking for any growth from him, you aren’t going to get it, but there’s plenty on Jamie’s side to go around :) And I find it interesting that there are a number of reviews that didn’t like the book because of Jamie’s recovery from the abuse she’d received at the hands of her ex. I don’t know if they only want strong heroines … or those that quickly get over their troubles … or … I’m not sure. It’s not easy for her to get her confidence back. She feels like a failure for letting it go so long and still bears some of the emotional scars from his words. It’s hard for her to come home and face people she knows, people that seem to have everything together. With Parker’s help she starts to let go of some of her past, to realize she’s tougher than she thinks she is, and that she can start over with her daughter. It’s not easy for her and it does take some time, but she gets there.
Small Town Hero is a slow build but satisfying read about second chances and finding yourself again.
**part of a series but can be read as a standalone**
(I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.)

It was a small town. Don't quite understand how he is a hero? It was cute though, I did join the series in the middle so little parts I was like "oh okay?" but that is on me

This was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the rapport between the characters. I was able to relate to Jamie in many ways. I'm glad she got Parker to help her battle her demons.
I look forward to whatever this author has in store for her readers next.
