PEASE DON'T read this review if you are going to be upset by my thoughts.  That is all they are, my thoughts, nothing more , nothing less.  Who Needs A Hero?  Apparently everybody in this book.  I had to quit reading.  As far as I got, there was not one upbeat thing about the book.  Well, maybe one.  The hero is evidently a SEAL.  Ok, that is a good thing.  But the rest not so much.The heroine is a high school graduate apparently working her first job.  She has lost both parents in a terrible accident.  She is now responsible for her 16 yr. old brother and apparently the house burned to the ground so there is that problem.  She apparently gets money from insurance, etc. and gives it to her boss to invest.  Turns out she is working for and sleeping with the biggest rat in the sewer.  She walks in on her fiancé with his girlfriend, in bed, and hears enough of their conversation to learn that he has lost every cent she gave him leaving her penniless and engaged to a jerk.  So she drives to the ocean to toss her 1 1/2 karat diamond ring in the ocean and bemoan the loss of her fiancé.  Not to mention her money.  On the way there her car blows up so she walks the remaining 10 miles to arrive at the beach at day-break.  She toss the ring but the SEAL sees it and goes in and gets it back for her.  Second good thing.  He gives her the ring which she now thinks she can hock and get some money.  She does, she gets $300.  I would really think that ring would have been worth a lot more but so far she hasn't shown much in the way of brains.She is staying in a flea infested motel that rents by the hour. She finds a job with a woman that wants a nanny for her 2 kids. She doesn't even have to give the woman her last name to be left with 2 kids!!  Smart mother.  The house looks like a bomb went off in the produce department of the local Publix.  It could not be any dirtier, the kids are also a mess, I'm guessing she doesn't have a lot of experience with kids, and that is where I left her.  Good lord, I was so depressed at this point I wanted to give it all up.  I had to quit reading.  I never made it to the hot sex scenes but I am assuming the SEAL got to her and she gave it up.  That would probably be the #3 good thing.  I just couldn't read any more.  I guess I just missed it regarding this story.  The heroine was too young and too stupid for me.  I just couldn't relate.  Seems the first thing she should have done after leaving the home of the jerk would have been to call IRS and turn the loser in.  But that is just me.  She threatens but to this point she has done nothing.This one just wasn't for me.  Since others did like it I would suggest you read and decide for yourself.  You may enjoy it.
