For the past three years Rico Fraser has focused solely on one goal, finding Ben Slatter. Slatter murdered Rico’s mother and then beat and nearly hung Rico who barely managed to escape with his life. Rico swore on his mother’s grave that he would seek vengeance against Slatter for the things that he did to her.  While helping out as a scout at an army base in Arizona Rico learns that Slatter has kidnapped a rancher’s daughter and her aunt. Setting out to rescue the women, Rico has revenge on his mind until he meets the fiery Miss Jennifer Burke.

Jenny might seem like a spoiled rich brat to some people, since she is the only child of wealthy rancher Frank Burke, and her beloved aunt Andrea has always done everything for her. If those people only knew the real truth, that Jenny is far from being that spoiled girl or the apple of her daddy’s eye. When Jenny and her aunt Andrea are kidnapped she prays that someone will rescue them before it is too late. Her prayers are soon answered when Rico rescues the women and returns them both safely home at least for the time being.

 

After saying good-bye to Jenny, Rico sets out to track Slatter down only to discover that Slatter is tracking Rico down for a bit of his own revenge. It does not take long for Rico to figure out Slatter’s plan; he would get to Rico by going after Jenny. Rico heads back to Arizona and takes a job protecting Jenny from Slatter, but who is going to protect Jenny from a broken heart when she finds herself falling in love with Rico? Rico can’t deny the feelings he has for Jenny but his sense of honor and duty can’t be denied. How far is Rico willing to go to seek his revenge, and how high a price is he willing to pay? Is Rico willing to risk Jenny’s love and a future filled with promises of happiness? Is this really what his mother would want? Only Rico can answer these questions and you will have to read HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO by Ana Leigh to find out his answers.

 

HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO is the fifth book in the FRASIER’S series. With nonstop action, romance, and some pretty hot love scenes Ana Leigh brings the wild west to life. Rico has always intrigued me in the previous stories and watching him finally get the happiness he deserves was both heartwarming and rewarding. I think Jenny was perfect for him, and no matter how arrogant or bossy he was she didn’t take it, which created some very fun argument’s throughout the book. HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO is one of the best historical novels I have read this year and a book I cannot recommend enough.
