Codi Gary combined two of my favorite subjects in order to create an awesome story that is both informative and inviting. I love animals particularly dogs. These beautiful creatures play a central part in helping with worthy causes through the charity which brings the two main characters Eve and Oliver together. Eve is rebellious, guarded and wants to prove to herself and her father that she can take care of herself without his interference. Oliver is military down to his combat boots. When a random incident leaves him tasked with helping to plan a charity event, he starts to realize there may be more in store than just a life in fatigues. I Need a Hero supplies a fascinating close up look into a wonderful charity which leads to romance. Codi Gary crafted a read that appeals on so many levels. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. AM DOUBLING MY FIVE STAR REVIEW TO TEN!!!
