What I love about this book was the storyline and how it moved so seamlessly. I felt like I was in Polk Island following Trey and Gia’s journey to love. Another reason why I love HER HOMETOWN HERO was the fact that Mrs. Thomas touches on some issues that military veterans go through after serving and getting hurt. This book had me all in my emotions as I felt for Trey so badly. Mrs. Thomas wrote this book in a way that was uplifting. and it brought me so much joy. The romance in this book is sweet and romantic. It was so good seeing the updates from the characters from the previous book in the series, A FAMILY FOR THE FIREFIGHTER.

Overall, I enjoyed reading HER HOMETOWN HERO by best-selling author Jacquelin Thomas. I branched out to read a clean and sweet romance this year and Mrs. Thomas didn’t disappoint me at all. Make sure to grab your copy of this beautifully written romance.

This is a Clean Romance, and this is the second book in the Polk Island book series. I have not read the first book in this book series. This book took me forever to get pulled into it, and I almost DNFed it. Once, I was into the story I really enjoyed it and I liked the characters. There was parts of this book that I felt moved way to slow, and there was parts that just went over and over the same thing. I loved what this book was bring attention to, and I do think this book did a good job of showing what it is like for returning military that has been hurt. I do think this books pacing was off a little and characters needed to be a little more developed. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Harlequin Heartwarming) or author (Jacquelin Thomas) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.
