Romanced by the Hero is such a cute book。 I absolutely loved the main couple。 They were great characters to read about。 They had fun with each other， while also talking about the tough things。 They really did work so well together。 Both of them had things in their pasts that shaped who they became， they had to grow even more throughout the book。 A lot of things happened to bring in doubts about if they should or shouldn't get together。 I think the characters handled each one appropriately， as yo Romanced by the Hero is such a cute book。 I absolutely loved the main couple。 They were great characters to read about。 They had fun with each other， while also talking about the tough things。 They really did work so well together。 Both of them had things in their pasts that shaped who they became， they had to grow even more throughout the book。 A lot of things happened to bring in doubts about if they should or shouldn't get together。 I think the characters handled each one appropriately， as you would expect from anyone in those situations。 It made the characters seem real。 It was really comfortable to be there looking in as their story unfoldedI read the book rather quickly， it was a shorter book， for that reason it did appear to be a bit rushed at times。 The romance part did develop quickly。 But， at the same time， I was okay with it because the characters were just so great。The main focus was on the characters and the settings were used to support them。 I would have enjoyed just a bit more of the world around the characters， just a few details to solidify the setting in my mind。This series is really good。 I have enjoyed every book I have read in it so far。 I did enjoy getting to see some of the characters from the other books。 I plan to read the books I haven't yet， and this book does crossover with a different series from this author。 I haven't read that series yet， but I plan to after having read this book。I received an ARC of this book， and I am voluntarily leaving this honest review。 。。。more

What a good clean read！ This is a work story about a woman hurt from past relationships and a man hurt from loss and how they can heal one another。 The story made me smile because life always seems to happen when you're not looking。 I have not read other books in the series but the story can be read alone。 I liked the main characters and it was an easy and enjoyable read。 What a good clean read！ This is a work story about a woman hurt from past relationships and a man hurt from loss and how they can heal one another。 The story made me smile because life always seems to happen when you're not looking。 I have not read other books in the series but the story can be read alone。 I liked the main characters and it was an easy and enjoyable read。 。。。more

I enjoyed this sweet and clean romance by Liwen Ho。 I’ve read several of her other series， and a few previous books in this series， and have not been disappointed with any of them。 This book is well-written with a good storyline and likable characters （with the exception of Amy’s parents and her ex-boyfriend）。 Fortunately， the parents and ex are only mentioned briefly to provide some insight into Amy’s history and to explain the reasoning for her distrust of men。 I thought it was cute that Mac w I enjoyed this sweet and clean romance by Liwen Ho。 I’ve read several of her other series， and a few previous books in this series， and have not been disappointed with any of them。 This book is well-written with a good storyline and likable characters （with the exception of Amy’s parents and her ex-boyfriend）。 Fortunately， the parents and ex are only mentioned briefly to provide some insight into Amy’s history and to explain the reasoning for her distrust of men。 I thought it was cute that Mac was smitten with Amy before he even met her from watching some of her online videos。 Ms。 Ho also did a good job of portraying Amy as legally blind， but very capable and independent。 I received a copy of this book from the author， and have given my voluntary and honest opinion。 。。。more

Beautiful story of two broken hearts finding healing There’s so much to love about this book。 I love how the author writes about romance books and how unrealistic they are。 I enjoyed the hero and his struggles。 I laughed out loud several times。 The heroine is mostly blind， but sees the important things so clearly。 Great book that I highly recommend。

I absolutely loved Amy & Mac’s story。 It’s a Christmas story but also a story of struggles and turmoil， of faith and trust and I loved how the author has portrayed all of that。 Amy is blind and been dumped by her supposed love who’s just used her， Mac lost his fiancée in a car accident and has said no more to love， we all know how that goes！！ It’s a sweet， swoon worthy romance filled with compassion， banter and even a little mystery and I found myself drawn into their world and their journey of I absolutely loved Amy & Mac’s story。 It’s a Christmas story but also a story of struggles and turmoil， of faith and trust and I loved how the author has portrayed all of that。 Amy is blind and been dumped by her supposed love who’s just used her， Mac lost his fiancée in a car accident and has said no more to love， we all know how that goes！！ It’s a sweet， swoon worthy romance filled with compassion， banter and even a little mystery and I found myself drawn into their world and their journey of love and discovery。 。。。more

Romanced by the Hero is a sweet， heartwarming romance。 I love that Mac and Amy were able to overcome their respective pasts。 The romancing of each other was just perfect。 I could not put sown this well written book。 I had to sigh every once in a while。 I am glad they both got past their insecurities。 I want to move to Freedom Ridge to become part of that caring community！

I was so excited that Liwen Y。 Ho had a book in the Heros of Freedom Ridge series and was even more excited that a Spark brother and cousin were featured in this story。 The book definitely lived up to my expectations。 It was romantic。 It had some angst and it had some mystery too， but most of all it was a beautiful， tender， touching story with wonderful characters who truly loved each other， flaws and all， only to be better as part of a couple that complimented each other together。 I receive I was so excited that Liwen Y。 Ho had a book in the Heros of Freedom Ridge series and was even more excited that a Spark brother and cousin were featured in this story。 The book definitely lived up to my expectations。 It was romantic。 It had some angst and it had some mystery too， but most of all it was a beautiful， tender， touching story with wonderful characters who truly loved each other， flaws and all， only to be better as part of a couple that complimented each other together。 I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review。 。。。more

This is the first book I've read in this series and it works great as a stand alone， but we do get introduced to several couples that I'm sure are part of the series。 Still I was able to follow everything without feeling like something was missing。 Amy and Mac had a connection from the beginning。 Their romance and relationship was sweet with a couple bumps in the road。 I really liked their characters and especially them together。 It was also fun to have Bria and Brandon Spark in a book again and This is the first book I've read in this series and it works great as a stand alone， but we do get introduced to several couples that I'm sure are part of the series。 Still I was able to follow everything without feeling like something was missing。 Amy and Mac had a connection from the beginning。 Their romance and relationship was sweet with a couple bumps in the road。 I really liked their characters and especially them together。 It was also fun to have Bria and Brandon Spark in a book again and to meet a cousin who is just as wonderful as the other Spark men。 。。。more

I loved this story！ Mac and Amy were the sweetest and the best！ I loved getting to know both of them， him as a security guy on vacation and her as an anti-romance romance blogger also on vacation。 😂 I loved how determined Mac was to understand her better， play tourist guide for her， *and* romance her。 😍 Seriously， I was so excited to know there are more Spark men to read about。 😊Granted， not everything is rose-colored glasses， and I also enjoyed the discussions on romance in books， expectations I loved this story！ Mac and Amy were the sweetest and the best！ I loved getting to know both of them， him as a security guy on vacation and her as an anti-romance romance blogger also on vacation。 😂 I loved how determined Mac was to understand her better， play tourist guide for her， *and* romance her。 😍 Seriously， I was so excited to know there are more Spark men to read about。 😊Granted， not everything is rose-colored glasses， and I also enjoyed the discussions on romance in books， expectations of heroes in books vs in real life， as well as seeing how much more exciting it can be to experience all the ups and downs with your very own perfectly imperfect （for you） hero。 I also love how real Liwen's characters always feel， and I definitely appreciate the research that goes behind some of them， since I loved getting a glimpse into a legally blind person's life。 It was also great getting to see past characters like Brandon and Bria and get the update on how things are going for them and their family。 Finally， I loved getting to see Mac in action （even though he wasn't supposed to be working）， thanks to the added thread of mystery that I definitely enjoyed。 Fans of the series will also enjoy getting to see characters from previous books。Overall， a beautiful and satisfying story that delivers on all the warm and fuzzy feelings （the epilogue is just the cherry on top）， has great humor， deals with the themes of loss and grief in a respectful way， while reminding reader's that we can rest in God's hands since He's the One who's ultimately in control。 A perfect Christmas read for this time of the year， recommended for fans of Christian Fiction， and/or Clean/Sweet Romance mixed with a bit of mystery。 ~ 5 stars！ 。。。more
