Don't Call Me Hero

I loved this book even though it was written awhile back and I gave it five stars but I was really bothered by a couple of facts. I just loved the vulnerability of Cassidy and all she went through. Carrying such burdens after her years in service and just trying to exist in a world with no wars. Her strength is trying to get herself better was aspiring to say the least. Enter Julia and the tough tight and on edge personality challenged Cassidy when then see each other again in another town. Julia is the one who is very forward in taking from Cassidy and finding Cassidy never really sure what they had between them. As they developed a non committed relationship, Cassidy was also trying to fit in a new very small and quiet town now on their police force. After her partner uncovers something sinister going on with funds that were not being sent to the town as needed, Cassidy helps out with the investigation and when they come to the truth she is faced with Julia head on. Julia being who she is, defends her father at the expense of Cassidy and in the interim ruins her reputation, the solid case and ultimately Cassidy. The two parts I didn’t like were when they go to cabin to retrieve Cassidy’s bike it says Julia’s father car is there but when they go in cabin no mention of him there even though Julia discovered papers.

This is the second book I’ve read by this author, and it was very enjoyable. One bone I have to pick, however, is that in so many of the books I’ve read, when mentioning the resemblance between a character and her parent(s), remember the parent(s) came first. It’s the characters resemblance to a parent, not the opposite. I can’t say how many times I’ve come across the same error in the many books I’ve read. Overall, I really liked this book, and look forward to reading the next book in the series. I enjoy reading stories featuring the military, medical personnel, and first responders. Well done.
