Small Town Hero by Kim Koby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Small Town Hero is the first book in the Small Town Brides Series by Kim Koby. This is my first read of Ms. Koby’s, so I really didn’t know what to expect from her as a storyteller, or writer. But the blurb sounded intriguing and the cover was sweet, so I decided to jump on in. What I discovered was a lovely, sweet, clean, and romantic story about love, loss, betrayal, second chances, opposites attract, forgiveness, and new beginnings.
Rebecca had her future all planned out, or so she thought. All that comes crashing down when she discovers her fiancé in bed with her best friend. So much for happily-ever-after, or friendship. This betrayal is what sees her in Tennessee, stranded, where she has to rely the kindness of a stranger. What she doesn’t realise is this moment will change her life in more ways than she could have imagined.
Ryan is a local firefighter, who too knows the sting of heartache. These two are total opposites, but you know how the old saying goes. Even though they clash, there is still a connection that neither can deny. What happens when the city girl with expensive taste meets this down-to-earth small-town hero? You’ll need to read the book to find out.
The story was a little predictable, but that didn’t really detract too much from my overall enjoyment of the book. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to connect with Rebecca as she seemed quite shallow to begin with, but she won me over in the end. These two had a great connection and I loved their banter, I just wish the story had a bit more complexity, but that’s just my taste, and I know that there are others who prefer there stories to be sweet and uncomplicated- but it just slightly missed the mark for me. I can appreciate it for what it is though- a lovely, romantic story.

Thank you, Ms. Koby!
