Hero of My Heart by Megan Frampton
4.0
(3.5 stars…but I'm willing to round up, because for much of the book I was so thoroughly involved in the characters and their drama that I could overlook much.)
What kept me reading was the relationship between Mary and Alasdair, especially their back-and-forth banter. I loved that he was an arrogant aristocratic jerk, but that he knew it and came to know how she'd react to his actions and as a result changed the way he treated people. I liked how they both ended up rescuing each other, even though for so much of the book they were working toward their own (secret, or maybe not-so-secret) agendas.
Loved Alasdair. Though I'm still not entirely sure how to pronounce his name.
However, a lot of belief needed to be suspended for this one. A character is shot, and after having the wound cleaned and it bothering them for a millisecond or so more, everything is soon fine. Another character has an addiction, briefly suffers withdrawal and a relapse, and is also fine. An evil villain magically turns up dead. The HEA ending is really, really quickly (and kind of bafflingly) managed...so much so that the book lost a star right there.
Still, I really enjoyed the main characters' personalities and will definitely be looking for more books from this author in the future. It was an enjoyable read.
