Publisher's summary
My name is Sue O’Malley, and I’ve been keeping it awkward since 1996. Another thing about me? I might be in love with my bodyguard. Leo Mason is all I’ve been able to think about since he broke my heart and left me standing alone on my front porch six months ago.
But now he’s back. He says someone is after us and insists we hide in his remote cabin until the threat is neutralized. It’ll be just the two of us with one bed, along with all his muscles, tats, and those f--king smoldering glances that burn up my skin.
I trust him to keep me safe from danger, but can I trust him to protect my heart too?
My name is Leo Mason. As a bodyguard with Redleg Security and a former Army Ranger, I’ve got lots of secrets and even more enemies. Six months ago, I did the unthinkable when I fell for a woman I was protecting.
She’s too young for me—too innocent—and being with me comes at a cost. One I won't force her to pay. So I did the best thing I could do to save her—I left.
But now there’s a new danger threatening her, and I’ll stop at nothing to protect Sue, my angel. I broke her heart before, but this time things will be different. This time, I’ll be her hero.
Heartbreak Hero is a medium slow-burn romantic-suspense novel with some rom-com vibes, plot twists, steamy times, foul language, and binge-worthy action. This novel features a plus-sized, neurodivergent heroine and a protective hero who helps her see her quirks as strengths and loves her exactly as she is. There is a happily ever after, no cheating, and no other woman drama. Tropes: second chance, age-gap, and forced proximity. Check the front of the book or the author's website for content warnings.

Story
Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why. Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven. She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it. She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why. For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

When he’s about to go in after the biggest lead on latest case that’s landed on his desk, Royce didn’t expect he’d have to abort the mission early.

My fresh start turned into a dumpster fire. Awesome new job. Small town heaven. Friendly faces galore. Then I strolled into my new home and found the unspeakable. Just when I'm sure it can't get worse, I'm “rescued” by a man who makes me see red for miles. Enter Lucas Graves. A bossy grump with a badge who's sworn to keep me safe. He rocks the scary-hot vibe, he reads too much, and he never misses a chance to give me crap for being a nerdy little cactus who mouths back. Not the type of man I'd go for in my right mind. Definitely not the type I should keep trading bruising kisses with.

There wasn’t a lot that surprised me. My years in the Navy taught me a lot, my years hunting human traffickers taught me the rest. Meeting a beautiful woman in a bar and spending the night with her should’ve been a blip on my radar. Instead, I spent years trying to forget her. In the middle of a rescue operation, fate dropped her back into my life, but there was a twist—she wasn’t alone.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. And how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
As an undercover DEA agent, I always thought things through. I didn't take chances, because I knew one misstep could have disastrous consequences. Until I met her. The little sister of my next target. Lola was a feisty young woman trying to claw her way out of a bad neighborhood. She was forbidden in every sense of the word, and not just because of the sixteen-year age gap. We were taught to expect the unexpected, but nothing could have prepared me for what was about to happen. I fell hard. I fell fast. I free fell heart first. But there was a secret I was keeping.

Story
I’ve slapped my cuffs on Luna Lancaster too many times to count and not a single one was for fun. As the sheriff of Starlight Cove, I shouldn't crave her, but I do. She’s chaos, mayhem, and sunshine wrapped up in too-tight yoga pants. The lawbreaker might have the town enamored with her free spirit, but she’s a thorn in my side, even if she is the sexiest woman I've ever seen. I want her out of my town and out of my head. Trouble is, she's made it perfectly clear she's not going anywhere.

He's a gritty, grease-covered mechanic, and a single daddy. Sweet, right? Plus, he's looking for a nanny - and I am desperately looking for a job. Sounds like the perfect deal. Only he's a jerk. An uncivilized, hulking brute. Zero manners. Zero interest in making me feel welcome in his home. Downright rude. But oh, so sexy. And I need the job. I can do this.

He's baseball's biggest heartbreaker. I'm a recovering romantic...and his new trainer. Parker Knight is a smooth-talking pitcher with a smile for days and a roster of broken hearts behind him. Those are only a few reasons why a guy like him is never getting near my heart. After making a move to prove I deserve a place within my dad's baseball empire, the last thing on my mind is a playboy pitcher. I didn't know who he was when we randomly met off the field, and Parker certainly had no idea I'm the team owner's daughter. He thought I was going to be his next conquest.

The narration is perfection!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Audiobook Narration: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧/5
Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Savannah and Troy were impeccably cast as Sue and Leo.
Savannah's narration had the exact amount of sass and quirkiness needed to let Sue's relatable personality shine.
Troy's deep, smoky voice as Leo was the perfect balance of commanding alpha and comforting warmth.
The narration was top notch and I recommend this audiobook for anyone who is a fan of romantic suspense!
Thank you Jackie Walker and Home Cooked Books for the ALC and the opportunity to give my honest review.
Heartbreak Hero is a medium-slow burn, romantic suspense novel with some romcom vibes, plot twists, steamy times, foul language, and page-turning action.
This novel features a plus-sized, neurodivergent heroine and a protective hero who helps her see her quirks as strengths. There is a happily ever after and no cheating.
Tropes:
Second Chance
Age Gap
Forced Proximity
Bodyguard
Romantic Suspense with RomCom Vibes
Neurodivergent Rep

Emotional, Brilliant and Romantic!!
This story has all the feels! Sue has six siblings and is troubled with anxiety and “peopling”. When her brother is in danger, she gets her own bodyguard from Red Leg Security - Leo. Leo does not take issue with her peculiarities, in fact they sync wonderfully, play word games and become close.
Leo feels he is not right for Sue, so walks away when the threat is over, purposefully hurting her in the process. This throws Sue into a quandary. Did she misread things? She is not good with people.
When danger reappears, the gloves come off, and true feelings can no longer be ignored - but it may be too late. This one will stick with you. It is an amazing story. I listened to the audio, which was superb.

A Geeky Girl Favorite of 2023
I LOVED getting to hear this story, it was just as fun and amazing as reading it the first time. The narrators' voices fit the story very well, I can't wait to listen to it again!
I'm already claiming this as a favorite of the year.
I know I loved and adored Sue and Leo largely in part because I am the mother of a child on the autism spectrum. I LOVED seeing Sue get her HEA...it gives me hope for my kiddo.
I also LOVED Sue's quirks and mannerisms...Jackie did a fantastic job in her representation of ASD, anxiety, etc. While being broad enough to not typecast or stereotype (and reading her notes after the story explains why...thank you for putting your RL experience into your characters, Jackie)
Let's not forget to mention that Leo was dream MMC material...he was just so darn swoon. Big beefy bodyguard with his own issues and his big gooey heart. Couldn't resist if I wanted to.
I really enjoyed the world-building and the side characters that were introduced,. I can already sense several of the stories/pairings that are going to be coming in the series.
There were plenty of steamy bits....Plenty of suspense and who done its to keep this reader happy...but in the end, it was the glimpses at a neurodivergent adult lifestyle, the heart-to-hearts, the confessions and professions that really did me in...it's been awhile since a book touched my heart so much. 💜🩵

Steamy and Sweet
Its easy to fall into Heartbreak Hero and not come up until it ends. The characters are incredibly engaging. Sue is the awkward girl we all are on the inside, and sometimes on the outside. Leo is the dreamy hero, protector and family guy its impossible not to fall for. The characters balance each other beautifully and the story itself is full of true to life, and hysterically funny situations. The two narrator format is beautifully balanced and lend themselves perfectly to the characters. A completely relatable and infinity enjoyable read.

deliciously voiced narrators that take the characterization to the next level
Updated review! When three of my favorites (author Jackie Walker, narrator Troy Duran, & Home Cooked Books) collaborate to celebrate a new audiobook, there's no reason not to have super high hopes!
One of my favorite things in life as a reader is when I actually LAUGH OUT LOUD while I’m reading. It feels so stinkin’ good! Jackie Walker is such an amazing story teller. I’ll say it again in my review, but her characters’ voices speak clearer to me than maybe any other author. And all the feels at all the surprising moments—I’ll for real laugh out loud on one page and be tearing up or straight up crying on the next page.
Thanks to Home Cooked Books for the ALC & chance to give my candid review.

Audiobook Narration: 🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧 (0-5)
Overall Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (0-5)
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (0-5) or maybe 🔥🔥🔥 but lots of it and descriptive!
What I’m Starry-Eyed Over:
🤩 First-person dual POV—such great characterization: you know them, feel them, hear them, and definitely want to touch them.
🤩 Perfectly cast and definitely deliciously voiced narrators that take the characterization to the next level. What phenomenal romance audiobook entertainment!
🤩 Fabulous MCs: “burly, tatted, former Army Ranger bodyguard hero & neurodivergent heroine”! 😍
🤩 Romance Suspense—if you’ve been wanting to try one, I highly recommend it! All the feels you are looking for (love, longing, lust, & laughs) PLUS CLIMAX! Sorry, I can’t think of any good L words for suspense/thrill and I just can’t help myself. There is climax of all kinds in this beautiful story.
🤩 Chapter Titles—I know some of you are hoping for some chapter titles in your life.
🤩 Body positivity!
🤩 Second chance romance in such a clever and interesting plot.
🤩 Bad guys & danger but never having to doubt the HEA would happen.
🤩 More HEA than you even expect!
What I’m Wishing/Dizzy About:
💫 Creepy cabin in the woods—okay, actually an amazing cabin in the woods, but pretty creepy feels. I’m such a wimp—I definitely read past my bedtime all the way to the end because there was no way I was going to sleep with those cabin feels going wild. But, oh wow, was that cabin worth it! There was steam coming from every room in that cabin!

Great listen
This is the first book I’ve listened to by Jackie Walker. I really enjoyed her writing style, character development and the details written in the story. So many wonderful tropes in this book - romance, second chance, age gap, and suspense. Sue is such a fun, quirky and entertaining character. She is strong, independent and isn’t afraid to let you know! Leo is a strong, growly and a protector. He’s determined to protect Sue because he’s secretly in love with her. Leo and Sue are both flawed but good for one another. They both have hidden feelings they are trying to hide…but eventually they give into their feelings. There is a lot of humor, sass and great banter. Troy Duran and Savannah Peachwood deliver a wonderful performance! They give the characters perfect emotion, voice and personalities.

A Gripping & Emotional Romantic Suspense! Great🎧📚🎧
I enjoyed this romantic suspense, the story is original with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. The characters are realistic, easy to relate to and connect with, they are easy to care about too. The opening scene when the two lead characters, Sue O’Malley and Leo Mason, first met is hilarious. Leo works for Redleg Security and hired as Sue’s bodyguard. The job did not last long, but the two hit it off and it left an impression on both of them. She fell for him and thought he felt something for her, but he only broke her heart. When he moves on to his next assignment, he gets a cryptic message, and it is a threat targeting someone he cares about, Sue. Leo was worried that his past would come back to haunt him, which is the reason he did not allow anyone to get close to him, except that backfired with Sue and someone knew that. He rushes to get to Sue and takes her to a safe location while his team investigates to find who is making the threats and why. I loved how everything played out in this book and that it was not your typical bodyguard/client story. The writing, plotting and world building are fantastic, as are the character growth and development. Sue’s quirkiness and wit were refreshing, and I thought she and Leo were great together and for each other. In this story, you'll find drama, angst, humor, witty dialogue, twists, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions, and a steamy, slow-burn but so worth the wait, romance. Jackie Walker, thank you for this great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Savannah Peachwood and Troy Duran did an amazing job bringing these characters and their story to life. Their portrayal of each character was spot on and they were believable in every role they played. Sue's character is captured brilliantly by Peachwood, emphasizing her charming quirks and blunt honesty and ability to talk things out. Duran also nailed it as the swoon worthy Leo, the lion heart, brings out his protective side and his vulnerable side. They set the perfect tone for the story, captured all the characters’ emotions and had you feeling them all. These entertaining storytellers are versatile voice artists and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen.

I love this book
I love the way the characters are written, so very real. I identify with Sue a lot... eeewwww people, lol. I love the Way Leo loves Sue and understands that sometimes she needs time to process, and never makes her feel like she's less. The Narrators are awesome and this story was amazing. I recommend this book.
