Holly Hicks grew up in rural Texas with one desire - to leave her unhappy childhood behind and become a TV producer. Eventually she lands in New York at the VIP channel and is finally given a shot to produce a segment for Hero Week. Her hero, Cal Griffin, is a former Secret Service agent who took a bullet for the President the previous year. The catch: she has to go back to Texas, where her "hero" now lives. Cal is working hard to recover from his injuries, but most people doubt he'll ever be able to return to duty. Holly fights her attraction to Cal, wanting to stay professional. He tries not to get too close in fear he's not the man he used to be. But could they end up healing each other?

What a special hero Cal Griffin is! He's sexy, determined, loyal, and full of passion....for life, for his future, and for a certain woman!! MY HERO is set in a homey, welcoming Texas town that a reader can feel very comfortable in, with great characters that make you want to visit, time and time again. MY HERO was a wonderful book, it's a well-written, entertaining romantic story I enjoyed very much !!

Flawed but charismatic hero makes it a good read

Format:Mass Market Paperback
All Cal Griffin ever wanted was to be a secret service agent. He became just that until a bullet meant for the president took him down, dashing his career aspirations but turning him into a media star. He returns to his Texas roots, and gets into a training regimen, determined to return to the Secret Service. His training and contemplative time is cut short when feisty reporter Holly Hicks arrives and wants to do an in-depth bio of him for VIP television. Getting his cooperation will be her ticket to producing, even if it means coming back to Texas, a place she swore she'd never return after heading to the big apple. Right off the bat they are oil and water... but something is simmering under the surface, as the two get under each other's skin and realize maybe you can go home after all.
McBride always creates engaging and charismatic characters. Cal is a sexy broken hero who won't go down without a fight. Holly's a no-nonsense career woman committed to getting ahead. And together, they bring out the best in each other. It's a good quick read.
