Would you recognize true love if it sat down next to you? In this unforgettable new spinoff of the Billionaire books from New York Times bestselling indie author Melody Anne, two strangers must look past their painful memories to make way for everlasting love.

Alyssa's modeling career came to an abrupt end when her manager boyfriend emptied her bank account and ruined her professional reputation. Now she's heading to a new town in Montana to rebuild her life—if she can even get there (stupid delayed planes!). But things are looking up when she's upgraded to first class and a mysterious stranger sits down next to her…

Jackson Whitman doesn't believe in love, or commitment, or forever—not since he lost his wife and daughter. But the beautiful woman sitting next to him at the gate has him rethinking that position. Can he convince her to be his for the night? Or will she convince him to be hers for a lifetime?  -Goodreads

 

My Thoughts
Her Unexpected  Hero draws the reader in using the lure of the unexpected.
Jackson  never expected to meet the beautiful and vivacious  Alyssa.

Brilliantly  snarky, witty, vivacious, beautiful, and under his skin.

Suddenly, there she is.

For her part, Alyssa is quite the worse for wear, both financially  and romantically speaking.  As such, she knows that a relationship  of any kind is not in the cards for her.  Even as the enigmatic  stranger, Jackson Whitman, proves an attraction that she can't resist.

This is a book that lulls the reader into believing  that it is all about  the  sweeter side of serendipity.  As things progress however, readers come to find that interactions  between these two are fated to be anything but uncomplicated.

There is a bit of planned predictably  when it comes to him coming to her hometown in Montana, and owning the bar at which she works.  The direction in which things go from there are...surprising!

The circumstances  under which  the author  brings these two together
make for great dramatic reading  and serve to up the emotional  ante for both readers and characters alike.

The unexpected negative  of said circumstances  comes in the form of Alyssa's  need to fight her feelings for Jackson  to the point past stupidity.

Luckily, things finally do even out before book throwing frustration ensues

The romance gets off to fiery start, but is sidetracked by drama for a great portion of the read.  The pacing of said romance is a decent mid-level heat, with nothing out of the norm sexually speaking.

This is a wonderful escape for readers who like drama with their romance.
