Reviews for Her Wild Hero

[funstm · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This was more enjoyable than I was expecting. The rest of the series has been fraught with juvenile romance and I haven't enjoyed it. I love Declan for the most part. My main issue with him stems from the fact he's supposedly been in love with Kendra for years and has asked her out a million times, letting her continuously reject him. Why ask someone out that many times? She clearly wasn't interested being hung up on Clayne - which brings me to Kendra. The first two books have made me near hate Kendra. In theory I like her (she's kind of badass) - right up until the topic of Clayne comes up - then she turns into a freaking idiot. I do like that she was aware that she had hurt Declan by choosing Clayne and at least recognised she was a moron - but I also felt it was a little bit too late to really make me love this. It felt a little bit too much like Declan was just her backup - she's tried it with Clayne and nothing so hey Declan. It's kind of hard to get invested in that.

That said, I did enjoy this. I liked Declan and Kendra and I liked them together. It surprised me - I didn't think I would because of the past rejections. There wasn't anything particularly special about the narrative but it was just fun and it had a few swoonworthy moments and I found it easier to get through the pages. I struggled with the last book. Also was it really necessary to have Derek hung up on Kendra? It was just so utterly ridiculous.

Issues with plot: The bad guy - it's pretty obvious who the bad guy is in this series. Dick is a dick. It's not exactly hard to guess. Just like it's fairly obvious John is not the bad guy which made it somewhat frustrating for the obvious to be ignored. Ivy and Landon being married - surely a secret covert government agency would flag shit like that when it's against their policies - but sure whatever.

I really like Angelo and Tanner. I just don't think I can bring myself to read the rest of the series to find out what happens with them. Plus the epilogues in the last two books spruking Minka just doesn't grab me - even if I do like Angelo. As for Tanner - there's another four books with a bunch of chracters I just don't care enough about.

2.5 stars.

Her Wild Hero was a very good story about bear shifter, Declan, and mission trainer, Kendra. I liked how Kendra realized that her infatuation with another DCO agent wasn't like the true love she finds with Declan. I also liked the continuing mystery surrounding the hybrids and why they continue to find more and more different types. I'm already anxious for the next installment of this series.

Kendra is ANYTHING but weak and we find out just how strong she is in HER WILD HERO. Declan has had a crush on Kendra for years, but he has finally come to the conclusion that she will never be his. Only problem? They are teamed together on his latest mission and he can't get away from her.We have gotten to know a little bit about Kendra with each book in this series. HER WILD HERO was her chance to finally get out into the field like she's always wanted and even better she gets to be close to Declan, the bear shifter she finally sees for the wonderful sexy man he is and wants for her own. I knew Kendra would kick butt when we finally got to see her in her own book and she didn't disappoint. Even in the worst positions she was able to keep a clear head and fight through them. Declan is a bit of a brooder and doesn't have the best communication skills when it comes to Kendra. He put his foot in his mouth quite a few times as well as assumed things that got him all broody when it wasn't needed. He is definitely an alpha male and constantly wanted to keep Kendra from getting hurt, but also was able to appreciate that she could also take care of herself.There wasn't one part of HER WILD HERO that I didn't enjoy. I was engaged the whole time and the characters brought the story to life. The action is high and the world just keeps on getting better and better with each book in the X-Ops series.* This book was provided free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Kendra Carlsen spends most of her days behind of a desk, but now she yearns to get out in the field. When an op comes up she joins the team, to the dismay of Declan MacBride. He is frustrated and worried how this op will go with the sexy Ms. Carlsen there. But when the enemy takes aim they must stick together to stay alive.I loved Kendra & Declan's story. I've been hoping these two would end up together. The shock and awe Declan feels when he realizes he underestimated Kendra is just great. Her Wild Hero is an excellent read! It is filled with adrenaline fueled action and hot jungle sex. Again, another must read. If you haven't picked up this series, get to the bookstore now!
