Review: First Class Hero for me!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 6, 2013
This book extracted every emotion I had - from the lows of angst and despair to the highs of love and romance, all entwined with sensual interludes.Second Chance Hero takes place in a small coastal town in England, where Deacon Reid and Jenna Rivera have grown up together as staunch best friends until one Christmas night on a break from University five years ago, everything changed. Once that step was taken nothing could ever go back to the way it was. Due to the drastic circumstances of that night, Jenna flees back to London leaving Deacon behind to cope with a tragedy she was unaware of at the time.Now five years later Jenna is visiting back home and returning as a successful bakery owner, with her stockbroker boyfriend in tow. Deacon has not rested on his laurels as he has built up his late father's construction company and is now a highly successful businessman. He is known as a total player and has many a woman competing for his sexual prowess.Both families have always known of Deacon and Jenna's connection and have envisioned a day when they would eventually be together, but after that night neither has spoken or seen each other until now, five years later. When they meet they both feel the connection but both hiding a multitude of emotions.Jenna is so stubborn and will not admit to herself her true feelings, even after the passionate encounters she has with Deacon she continues to `cheat' on her boyfriend (who is a totally A-hole, let me tell you!) Deacon however is not prepared to let Jenna go this time and puts up a strong fight to win her back.The erotic scenes with Deacon and Jenna were wonderfully written and totally made me fall hard for Deacon, he was absolutely divine!  With his strong personality, his good looks and his ah-mah-zing body. Sah-woon!Jenna was a lot less likeable and had me swearing my ass off throughout the book. How could she not see what was staring her in the face? A man so inconsiderate of her feelings yet she blatantly accepted everything he said. And there was Deacon willing to offer her everything in the World, who knew her inside out, who shared her dreams and supported her. So what does she do? Well read the book and perhaps you will be shouting a whole lot of WTF-ery at her.However it all comes good in the end so yes there is a HEA but only after a whole mahoosive curveball that is thrown near the end that had my heart in my mouth and panting with panic.So yes I do recommend this book but with a warning - do not read in public as you may find yourself swearing and ranting at Jenna. And how silly would you look. Ahem...yes... lesson learnt. Anyhow - wonderful read! Oh and a new book boyfriend for the Lush List!
