Review / Release Blitz: Hero Ever After (Gibson Hollow #1) by Kait Nolan

HERO EVER AFTER
Kait Nolan
Release Date: August 22

I never meant to be anyone’s heroine.

Not when I became the acting mayor of my hometown after the flood. Not when I kept my law practice afloat out of a booth in my grandmother’s diner. And definitely not when my secret romantasy novels went viral.

Nobody in Gibson Hollow knows I’m the author behind the pen name. And nobody was supposed to kiss me at that book convention—least of all my brother’s best friend, cosplaying the hero he doesn’t know I modeled after him.

Now Ramsey Shaw is back in town. Volunteering. Smiling at me like I’m not on the verge of shattering. Like he remembers the kiss. Like he sees the truth.

I’ve spent my whole life being strong. Quiet. In control. But for the first time, I don’t want to be any of those things. I just want to be his.

In a town held together by hope and heart, it’s the people who show up that make it shine.

MY REVIEW

Ever since the flood that devastated Gibson Hollow, Alia has taken over the duties of keeping the town together, in place of her father, the town's mayor. She may seem like the most competent person to take over for him (and she is), but all the hours she's putting in have left her little (no) time to take care of herself. She has no choice, though, to help everyone in this town she loves. Because if she doesn't do it, who will, even if every minute pushes her closer to a complete breakdown.

Back when Ramsey and Alia had their moment, he was young and saw no way to chase his football dream AND be with his best friend's sister. So they stayed a secret, he left, and they've never since come close to what they had before. What Alia doesn't know, though, is that he's never lost track of her, never stopped thinking of what could have been. Now he has his chance to see her up close and in person when he comes back home for the offseason. Seeing how much she has on her shoulders and how she's not taking the time to care for herself, he takes it upon himself to do it for her. He'll be her rock, this just may be their time, if she lets him in.

Alia freaking rocks. She's the strongest heroine I think I've read in a possibly forever. She's the center, the backbone, the captain of her family and her entire town. I shed more than a few tears, though, that she took all that on and no one until Ramsey came home, ever thought to ask if she was OK, if it was too much. Thank God Ramsey's perceptive, loving eye lasered in on her and forced everyone to look deeper. Speaking of Ramsey, this #SwoonyMcBroadsword is the sweetest, definitely the swooniest, hero Kait's ever written. I love these two and their heartfelt love story. Now I'm impatiently awaiting Bodie's (Alia's brother/Ramsey's best friend) story next, Hero, Unexpected.
