Holding on to a Hero #newromance #steamyromance #newrelease

What do you think about heroes? Policemen, firemen, military? These are guys (and girls) who put themselves on the line in order to protect and serve. I really admire people like that. They are physically fit and have received training above and beyond basics, that allow them to respond instantly. These are things that I am not able to do. But I believe that these guys make great fathers and lovers. Which is why I LOVE Isobel Reed's latest romance- HERO COMPLEX. Her hero is a former military man who will do anything to keep the heroine safe. 

HERO COMPLEX is a part of the Bluestone Series but can be read as a standalone. It's fun that the characters in HERO COMPLEX are ones who show up in the other books. It's like coming home to your hometown and seeing your favorite people. 

HERO COMPLEX is an amazing read. One that will draw you in and keep you riveted. Now Available in ebook and print! Grab a copy for yourself today!!

Blurb:
Fake it till you make it, that’s what they say.
​

And that’s what Ivy was doing. She’d do anything to save her ranch. Anything. Including pretending to be engaged to a handsome, retired Marine to placate her sexist clients. Not that draping herself over Ace was a hardship. It wasn’t. She just wished he could get over his hero complex and stop trying to save her. There were far better ways they could be spending their time.

Sweet, shy, and babbling Ivy had gotten so far under Ace’s skin, he knew he was in trouble. Faking a relationship may have been his idea but he knew deep down he didn’t stand a chance with her in real life. Medically discharged from the military, it wasn’t just internal battle scars he’d been left with, he also had some big ugly ones on his face too. If he couldn’t even look himself in the mirror, no one else ever would be able to either. Especially not the most beautiful woman he’d ever laid eyes on.

Can these two wounded souls turn their fake relationship into a real one?
 
HERO COMPLEX- the third book in the Bluestone Series is a sizzling fake engagement story featuring a scarred Marine and the woman who sees only his big heart. HERO COMPLEX features wide open spaces and ranch life along the lines of Becca Turner’s Cowboys of Oklahoma series and D’Ann Lindun’s sexy Black Mountain books. While it is a part of a series, HERO COMPLEX can be read as a standalone. Don’t miss this captivating and heartfelt romance, pick up your copy today!
 
EXCERPT:
The sun wasn’t even up yet, and Ivy was already having an existential crisis. Even the warm, orange glow from the table lamp did nothing to flatter the reflection staring back at her. One thing was for sure though, no matter how long she looked, nothing was going to change anytime soon. 

Internally she berated herself. She didn’t have time for this. She had chores to do. Horses to feed. And a sexy-as-hell man to try not to humiliate herself in front of. 

“F***ing YouTube.” She huffed under her breath before dragging herself away from the tilt of her floor-length mirror.

Damn you, Pricilla28! I’m not feeling sexy OR confident. What a load of cr*p. 

There was no time for Ivy to wallow in the YouTube star’s betrayal. Or dwell on her poor judgment at trying out a new hair tutorial at stupid o’clock in the morning. Right now, she had things to do. And that meant leaving the confines of her bedroom with her new hairstyle, which was much more male Viking warrior than the sexy, feminine goddess look she was going for.

Damnit all to hell.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Ivy dragged herself and her manly braid downstairs in search of caffeine. Caffeine wouldn’t disappoint her at least. Caffeine was consistent. Reliable. Not at all filled with lies.

With coffee brewed, she was just one sip away from bliss when a loud knock had her cursing again. Back was that funny feeling in her stomach. She knew exactly who was at the door. It had been the same person for the past five days now: Ace. Sweet, kind, thoughtful Ace. Quite possibly the most beautiful man she’d ever seen.

Stop swooning and get it together.
