Emotional and Genuine!!
Once again we have some amazing characters. Emily was rescued by Wyatt’s team from a brutal attack while he listened in. He feels compelled to “check” on her but wants so much more. Becoming her friend seems to be the only reasonable solution for now. When Emily begins to have feelings for Wyatt that she thought she would never have again for any man a rollercoaster of emotions ensues.
Super care and attention paid to build a relationship all while battling international intrigue. An engaging and highly recommended story!!

Love Wyatt and Emily
This really was her loving hero. Wyatt was amazing with his compassion that all women dream about. He also made mistakes which just made him more lovable.
Emily was incredibly strong and just needed the right guy to help her overcome her brutal past.
The journey was a bit intense with shtuff happening all over. Emily’s sisters needed help. Wyatt gets the surprise of his life.
Old teams and new characters, all meld seamlessly, to make this flow smoothly with action, emotion and romance.
A sweeter read I think, this time, from Ms. O’Leary, tho no less engaging. Able to stand alone with it’s own HEA, but part of a kickin military series that will take you on a wildly spectacular ride within the Black Dawn team.
Fall in love with Emily and Wyatt as they maneuver around her tragic past.
Wyatt Leeds is the “last man standing ” of his Black Dawn team. Everyone else is attached and starting families. His player days are ling behind him and he wants what his SEAL brothers have. That comes in the form of Emily Hoag. Working his way up of acquaintance to friend zone is already a challenge. Anything beyond that may be insurmountable given how she was brutalized. Emily struggles daily if not hourly to overcome her fears and panic attacks. She just wants to be normal. He finds that she quite likes Wyatt’s infinite patience, gentleness and kisses. It gives her hope. Added to that he’s willingly stepping up to ensure her sister’s safety half way around the world. The sister and her friends have stumbled into the makings of an international incident that could upset the entire Middle East.
I haven’t read the book behind what happened to Emily. Emily and Wyatt are two broken souls. Emily with her rapes and Wyatt how he was raised by his step dad. There is a lot going on in this book. Pretty good story.
all Caitlyns books are great reads
Her Loving Hero by Caitlyn O’Leary is an awesome read. This is the eighth book in the Black Dawn series. This book had me laughing, crying, angry, wanting to hurt someone, rooting for the good guys and jeering the bad guys. I had all the feels. This book has action, suspense, romance, revenge and more. The book is well written and has very likeable characters. I did not want to put the book down. I can’t wait for the next book by this amazing author. I highly recommend this book.
I received an ARC copy of this book and I voluntarily chose to review it. This book is well written and the characters are awesome. I know when I pick up a Caitlyn O’Leary book I will be getting a great story. I do encourage everyone to get this book it is worth your time and effort. Take your time reading this one so you don’t miss anything!!!!
This is book 8 in the Black Dawn series and I would read the books before it so you don’t get confused on the characters and who they are to each other. We finally get Wyatt and Emily’s story in this one!! Wyatt and Emily have been through horrific things and are slowly working on their own issues all while trying to keep their distance from each other. Because they believe that is what the other person needs. This book takes us through how they fight to get better but also fight to be able to together.
I absolutely loved this book! Emily went through literal hell, and still struggles with how those events make her feel every day. But she still manages to get up and truly work through them and fight for herself. Wyatt has his own issues to deal with, and he doesn’t want to ask for help but he finally realizes that just because Emily has issues that will probably never fully go away, he can still lean on her. I loved how this story comes together and how they learn to ask for what they need from each other. It’s a truly beautiful story of how you can overcome horrific things and still have a perfect (for you) life!
I wish I could explain how really emotional this book was for me. I loved every aspect of the story. I highly recommend this wonderful roller coaster ride of heartbreak, love, joy and HEA. Great Job Caitlyn O’Leary
I absolutely love this series and Caitlin O’Leary. This book differs a bit from the others in the series, in that it is more of a slow burn, not the instantaneous love match of others. I’m not saying that as a negative, because it completely makes sense that Emily wouldn’t simply fall for Wyatt and give it up so easily. Wyatt has to work for it because she does have trauma, and that makes it the more beautiful in my opinion. The characters are so well thought through and loving. I absolutely love this series and can’t get enough.
I really have enjoyed this series! It is fantastic. This is book 8. In this book we get an up close look into two people facing their demons. Wyatt and Emily both have mental and physical issues. Is love enough to overcome them? It is a roller coaster ride of emotions. Their relationship and emotions are raw, gritty and beautiful. Complexity at its finest. I could not put this book down. Fantastic book!! Amust read! I am voluntarily leaving my review after reading an advance reader copy of the book. I will be looking forward to reading more from this author.
Emily and Wyatt’s story is a sweet, exciting, adventurous story that shared both quiet heart melting moments and nail-biting moments.
Loved the truth of how important family is and how much these guys and their women recognize the beauty of that and bloom under the love.
Her Loving Hero was a sweet, sexy, page turner! I loved it, and I could not put it down. Caitlyn O’Leary did it again. It was a great addition to the series, and I have the urge to go back and reread the series again. The plot was suspenseful, and the characters very very lovable. I can’t wait fir the next book.
This is sweet, heartbreaking, suspenseful and thrilling. Wyatt is patient, gentle, charming, determined and protective. Emily is strong, stubborn, cheeky, caring and untrusting. Wyatt was part of the SEAL team that extracted Emily out of Saudi Arabia, he wasn’t there in person, but he was in communication with them the whole time. After she arrived back in the States Wyatt placed himself in her life, he needed to make sure that she was okay. They became good friends, but he wanted more, and he was willing to wait for as long as he needed to. Outside of their relationship, there are problems with her family, his family and team sanctioned, and non sanctioned, missions. I loved everything about this story, it has an intense storyline and wonderful characters. It’s a must read.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.
Wow this book is amazing .Caitlyn O’Leary brings us an amazing story with real emotions and heart and gives us a small glimpse of the world of SEALs. Thank you
Omg where do I begin with this book? I am absolutely blown away by it . Emily was saved but not in time for being raped and she is now trying to get on with her life but suffers PTSD and wyatt was there with his team that was sent to rescue her and can’t get her screams out of his mind but he also finds himself wanting to be her protector now and becomes her friend but can they have a future together or will her past kept them apart or will his past come back to haunt him? This book will reach into your heart and soul and I am one who believes in fate and true love but this book is so so much more.
I am a big fan of Caitlyn O’Leary’s books, and have enjoyed several other books in this series. I had the chance to read this book as an ARC and jumped at the opportunity. I am providing a voluntary honest review for the ARC. I really enjoyed this book and strongly recommend it to those who enjoy romantic stories that have strong lead characters who are struggling to overcome some horrific events in their pasts. I think it was key that it wasn’t just Emily struggling, Wyatt had plenty that he needed to deal with too. Emily’s back-story is in another book in the series that I have not yet read, but while there are details that I didn’t have, it didn’t affect my enjoyment of this book. There was a level of sweetness to the relationship that was very touching and their battles with the past were heartbreaking. The book will leave you smiling and sighing at the happy ending, but you might need a hankie or two while they fight for their forever. A very good book by one of my favorite authors.
Emily is an Ambassador’s daughter who had been kidnapped in the Middle East. She’s back in the United States healing and starting life over.
Wyatt was part of the team who rescued her and he has been volunteering with kids along with her. There is an attraction between them but Emily has a long way to go before she is ready for a relationship. Fortunately Wyatt understands and is very patient. Planning an ice cream date after dropping the kids off, Wyatt needs to wash up after cleaning out the van.
Panic attacks are the least of Emily’s worries as things in Oman, where her father is assigned, become unstable. Emily’s sister Carly and her friends have stumbled upon something and she calls for advice. In turn she asks Wyatt for help and what they find well lets just say this is where things start getting really interesting.
From the US to Oman this story is fast-paced and action-packed with suspense and lots of romance before the heat.
HER LOVING HERO (Black Dawn #8) By Caitlyn O’Leary
Once again Caitlyn brings us a great well written story. We are finally getting the story of Wyatt. I enjoy catching up with the other team members that are not leads in the current stories. In this one, we get several of the other seals and their significant others. This book has action, danger, suspense and of course romance.
Emily Hoag was kidnapped and brutalized in the middle east. Wyatt Leeds is part of the SEAL team that had went in to rescue her. They come across each other as they are volunteering at the children’s center. She is working through her PTSD. He has his own demons he is dealing with. Wyatt had been trying to be a friend and not push her in any way as he was falling in love with her. Emily was falling in love with him at the same time. This is another 5 star read that we have come to expect from Caitlyn O’Leary.
