A Perfect Hero

A Perfect Hero is a perfect example of how Paula Detmer Riggs can take even the most horrible premise and pull out enough emotion to leave the reader panting for more. PDR has a knack for making the reader love each of her characters from the tall, dark, and too sexy hero to the ugly dog. And no one can accuse her of not making the reader stop and think. It takes true talent to pull undying love out of hate and racial tension. Ian is a man with a heart big enough to save the world and love his family on top of it.

"A Perfect Hero" kept me up half the night and it was worth every minute of lost sleep. Ian MacDougall is a man driven by demons from his past. Marca Kenworth is a woman whose strength and love can save him, but the past that haunts him now threatens her future and the lives of everyone she loves.This novel has a solid suspense plot with a satisfyingly evil villain, a dynamite supporting cast, a heroine that's mature, warm, and very real, and a hero that really is the "Perfect Hero". This is the second book I've read by this author that has been set in the college town of Bradenton, Oregon - I hope Ms. Riggs will give us more. Loved the town, loved these characters, loved this book!
