Resisting the Hero by Cindi Madsen is an Entangled Bliss publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.Faith is moving in with her brother, Kaleb and his wife for just a little while. But, before she arrives in North Carolina she learns her brother has joined the SWAT team. Being a cop was dangerous enough. Faith is beside herself and crashes into the bar where her brother is celebrating. Before she can find Kaleb, she has a run in with a drunk beefcake named Conner.Conner and Kaleb are good friends, but Kaleb doesn't want Connor anywhere near his sister. That's good enough for Faith. She doesn't want anything to do with cops or SWAT or any other type of life on the line occupations. She also doesn't want a guy that has a history of being unable to maintain a relationship. But.... darned if Connor isn't making her decision easy. He's sexy and there is an undeniable chemistry between them, but can Faith come to terms with Connor's occupation?This sweet contemporary romance deals with Faith's fear of losing another person in her life. Her father was a cop and died in the line of duty. Since then, she has been unable to move past it despite therapy. She is happy to stay with Kaleb and help his pregnant wife and do things to help people out.Also, in the background there is the story of a domestic violence situation that Kaleb and Connor take personally.You will love Connor! He knows Faith is worth getting his life in order for. He has no desire to see other women and wants more than just a casual friends with benefits relationship with Faith. He puts his friendship with Kaleb on the line in order to have a chance with Faith. Faith is a hard headed and stubborn woman and he will have to pull out all the stops to convince her he is the real deal.I liked the character growth from both Connor and Faith. Faith's name is certainly apt, since she will have to step out of her shell and have faith in Connor and hopefully she will be able to make peace with her painful past.Overall I give this one an A.
