Publisher's summary

After a botched raid in Afghanistan, ex-army specialist Michel Deverroux returned to Galveston, Texas, with more baggage than intended. Without family, friends, or money, Michel turned to drugs to relieve the horrors of war. He knew it was a dark path, but he saw no other choice. Michel was awash in a world of numbness and addiction until his estranged uncle Andy died, leaving Michel a rundown beach front home and a hefty inheritance.

With something to finally call his own in the world, a spark of hope returns to Michel's life - a spark that is ignited when he sees a somber yet beautiful woman walking along the beach. Michel falls instantly in love with her and nicknames her his "Mermaid". Now, determined to be a man that his new love would want to be with, Michel vows to turn his life around and win over his "Mermaid", Annabelle. Overcoming the shadows of his past seems nearly impossible, but the drive to have Annabelle gives Michel the motivation to overcome his demons.

Short and simple

DC Cole does a great job narrating this one. I was expecting something different from this story from beginning chapters. But, it was a short, simple listen.

Good Read

The Heart of a Hero: (A Love Struck Bad Boy Romance) was a good read by Amber Burns. Ex-Army specialist Michel Deverroux returned to Galveston Teas after a botched raid in Afghanistan. He has no family, friends, or money; but came back with a lot of baggage. In order to get rid of the horrors of war, Michel turned to drugs. He felt he had nothing to live for, until the death of his estranged uncle Andy. Andy left Michel a run down beach front home and a big inheritance. With this spark of hope, he sees a beautiful woman walk along the beach. He falls for her and instantly falls in love with her, and nicknames her his mermaid. He vows to turn his life around in order to win over Annabelle. I really enjoyed reading Michel and Annabelle's story and can't wait to read more by Amber Burns.

Nice but could have delved deeper into a few things

This is a lovely story about two sad souls. How they meet and change their lives. I should say all thanks to an uncle because otherwise it would not have been possible.
This is a short story and at times I can really feel sad or bad with the characters. I did listen to this on audio and D.C. Cole did an nice job.

The heart of a hero

The story has a really good Foundation and I probably would have given it 5 stars if it was a bit longer and not rush threw the last 3/4 of the book.
The D.C. Cole did a good job. His voice draws you in right away, I felt like he started to read faster as the book was ending, that’s the only reason I didn’t give him 5 stars.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review

Great story with romance and respect for veterans

I loved this story. It felt real. The story starts following veteran Michel who came home after a raid he was on went bad and he watched his best friend die. He ends up inheriting a beach home and meeting the first woman to really make him feel in a long time. Annabelle is still dealing from the man she loved breaking her heart and the death of her mother. She meets Michele and right away there is a spark. But they both have emotional issues and they need to overcome them to be happy together. This story was so beautiful. I felt it really showed the affect that loss takes on the soul. I loved how it showed what so many veterans really deal with when they come home. It also shows the true power of love. Instant love fans will love this story. I did! I hope in the future we get more Michel & Annabelle.

Short but sweet

I liked this short novel, it took me a minute to get used to the narration as per the woman’s part but Mr Cole has a very soothing and sexy voice. Yes it’s short but sometimes that’s a good thing as not to draw out a story line.
I would recommend this book. I got a code for the book but I would still get it.
