Some people are ordained for greatness. Those people usually have a lot of drama in their life. Drama I happily do without. I live in a forgotten corner of nowhere for a reason: there is safety in anonymity. I have enough problems just trying to get by. But when Kieran, a sinfully sexy demigod at the pinnacle of power, crashes into my life, suddenly my whole world is turned upside down. He’s harboring a deadly secret, one that could destroy all he holds dear. He thinks I’m the key to his salvation, and he wants me to help him claim vengeance. He also wants me with a passion.

I had no idea how those words would change my life. Or how they’d changed my life already...until the day the most dangerous man I’ve ever met waltzed onto my farm and left us a death sentence. In an invitation. My younger brother has been chosen for the prestigious, secret magical school hidden within the folds of our mundane world. A place so dangerous, they don’t guarantee you’ll make it out alive. If he doesn't go, our entire family will be killed. It’s the same invitation my older brother received three years ago - the same place where he mysteriously died.

Another one of those books
This had a very good storyline with a strong female lead. But, like many others (that I try to avoid) it is only part of the book. They leave you with a cliffhanger in hopes you will buy the full version. What irritates me more, it has an audible recording as well that I paid for, but only got 1/2 a book. I feel like I've been cheated.

Wow! Another grab you read
If you could sum up Unexpected Hero in three words, what would they be?
Excellent series beginning. I enjoyed the sexual tension buildup between Jenna and Josh. This book has drama centered on women without making the women pityingly weak creatures. Yes, they are in unfamiliar territory in the woods but they are not weak. It's funny and serious. I love the way the author writes the alpha males. They are flawed but so dependable and HOT.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Unexpected Hero?
I never begin a series unless it's finished. I simply don't have patience to wait months. I read the books. Then I got to listen to this audible version. I want the others made into audible. I would so buy them. I did receive this audible book from the author. I freely give my review. I honestly love the story and this audible version.
What about Samara Naeymi’s performance did you like?
Narrator was great and only enhanced an already good story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Nothing was wrong with the narration.
Any additional comments?
Loved the dynamics of Jenna and Erika's friendship. Witty, snarky dialogue kept me reading.

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid
So much stupidity I'm not sure where to start...
Architect Jenna is particularly stupid and unlikeable; she willingly worked for a corrupt builder and alongside a convicted sex offender. She even made excuses for the dangerous sexual predator, stating yes he tries to rape women but he is so brilliant I am lucky to work with him.
When Jenna and her co-workers were sent on a camping trip, she didn't question why her boss would play for 4 or 5 employees to travel and commune with nature rather than actually work. Really? No one that dumb could have graduated high school let alone graduate school.

Ummm, NO!
So, Jenna's co-workers have to go out of town because of problems at work so their boss sends them on a wilderness hike, with our hero as a guide. I'll tell you why I'm not finishing this: Jenna comes along with her boyfriend and once they have their tent up she's on him like flies on shit. Lewis gets his but she doesn't. So she goes into the woods to pee and decides to 'finish herself off.' A perv follows her, Josh goes after the perv then stands there and listens to Jenna moan and groan until she done. Really? That's just stupid, especially since Jenna knows about the perv.
Also, I looked closer at the reviews on Amazon and found out this was a cliffhanger. I don't appreciate an author trying to make me buy a second or third book if I want to reach the end of the story.
At 34% I'm done. Not only with this book but with this author. I can't stand OW or OM so I'd be afraid she writes that in most of her books.
I've already told you about the sex so I'll just let you know the F-bomb was used 19 times.
As to the narrator: Samara Naeymi as very good, with emotions and voices but that couldn't help this book.

1 hr 42 mins in and I have MY first ever DNF
Its my first ever DNF. I couldn't do it. I made it to 1 hour and 42 minutes before I had to shut it off. I wasn't completely aware what kind of book I was starting when I clicked play. I was expecting a normal run of the mill romance novel featuring military man and a competent woman. And maybe at its core this book is. But as of now I will never know. Not because this is apparently part one of a three part series that was stretched out. Nope, I am ok with that fact. I am not however ok with the in a relationship already aspect of this book. There were some moments that I genuinely laughed out loud when listening at first. And then it was ruined. The Heroine already has a boyfriend when she meets the Hero hunk. And she gets all hot and bothered talking to Hero then jumps in her tent a few feet away from everyone and starts trying to jump her worm of a boyfriend"s bones. Eww. And Fyi her boyfriend fat-shames and monitors her calories. Screw that guy. Not literally though. Maybe one day I will give this another shot because there was some actual humorous moments.

Loved the story
I enjoyed the story and the characters. A couple of the guys were easy to dislike, which I think was the author's goal. The lead characters were easy to pull for, and it was an entertaining story. Only real complaint is that the narrator didn't do a great job with the different voices, some of them were annoying to me. I wish the 2nd book was available as an audiobook, but I bought the Kindle version because I wanted to find out how the story ends.

Hot woodland guide...
The book started off a bit slow but picked up about 1/3 in...team of NYC architects sent off on a 'team building' week in the mountains. Their guide is the hot & broody type. Some drama with exes then one of the team is murdered. Survivors scuttle in different directions to stay alive. Cliffhanger!!!
Only real complaint is that the narrator didn't have the range in different voices that could pull you into the story. Some voices were annoying as heck! Still looking forward to the next book though.

Good story, even better when you hear it
If you could sum up Unexpected Hero in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, funny, smart
What was one of the most memorable moments of Unexpected Hero?
I remmember the most how Jenna handled police officer (friend of Josh) when he startet to ask her some questions. How she run thru the woods, to escape for no reason, and how she trettened to come after him, if something happened to her best friend Erika.
Have you listened to any of Samara Naeymi’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This was my first audio book, I loved it. It took me two evennings to complet it. I loved hov she changed her voice for diferent character, I could just imagine those people talking. This was tottaly new experience for mee, but i really liked it.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes absolutely
Any additional comments?
This was really new expirience for me, the story semed more interesting when I heard it. It was like movie vas playing somevhere in backround, I could imagine everything. I was pleased whit the voice, and it was really good how she changed it in diferent situations.
