I've read several of April Angel's works and her stories are like decadent treats - sweet & delicious. Once you get a taste, you keep going back for more.A Hero's Pride was a short story with a wonderful combination of sweet and sexy rolled into one. This story revolves around Kayla and Ryan. Kayla had just turned 30 and doesn't have much luck with men. Ryan (picture Chris Hemsworth) is in the Army Special Forces and is out on medical leave due to an injury that resulted in him losing a part of his leg. Due to this disability, it has left him with many insecurities. Both of them are not much into the dating scene, but friends and loved ones intervened and now they're both set up on a blind date. Both are wary, but once they meet for the first time in that hotel room they're hit with lust and sparks fly like the Fourth of July.The characters, Kayla and Ryan, were a wonderful pair. Ryan had many doubts about himself and self-pity due to his condition and I loved that Kayla was very sweet and non-judgmental towards him. They had a nice connection which seemed realistic & the dialogue was very natural. The story flowed effortlessly and had a nice pace to it.Overall, A Hero's Pride was a sweet & tender story filled with several sexy scenes that will get your heart racing and your temperature up a few degrees. I reached the happy ending with a smile and now hope that Calvin (Ryan's brother) will get his own story. I also hope there will be more coming from April Angel with the Wounded Soldiers. In the end, I really enjoyed A Hero's Pride and would recommend it to any fans of romance. It is the perfect afternoon or beach read!*ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
