He’d already killed a guy she was doing research for and she managed to escape him. Badly beaten, she changes her name and hides in Alaska. Gabe was in the military, former L. A. cop, and mercenary and likes his privacy. His brothers drag him to town where their adopted father left them a bunch of businesses. Gabe gets stuck with being Chief and knows there’s something Audrey is hiding. She wants a fling until she can go back to Chicago but Gabe wants forever.
Excellent story. Action, intrigue, and sex. A little town that is just getting back on its feet. A whole crew of colorful characters. Sweet and steamy.
If you purchase this book by Cherise Sinclair expecting a steamy BDSM book, you won’t get that with “Not A Hero”. What you will get is a well written book, with great characters, smoking hot chemistry, drama, and sexy fun!! I loved this book, I loved Gabe and Audrey, their story is well written, and compelling and this book is a page turner. The Sons of the Survivalist series was introduced in “Defiance”. We get a guest appearance by my favorite Dom Zachary Grayson, Master of Shadowlands. I like the side of Master Z that is shown in this book and hope to see more in the upcoming books.
5 star Review Not a Hero by Cherise Sinclair
When I heard that Cherise Sinclair was releasing a new series I was beside myself with excitement. Whenever I see the name Cherise Sinclair, it is an automatic purchase. This book was totally brilliant, from start to finish. I didn’t want to put it down and was so annoyed when real life conspired to stop me from reading it in one session.
I have always loved the characters that Ms. Sinclair writes about, the way she develops and layers them and her story lines are amazing.
Set in a small town in Alaska, Not a Hero ticked all the boxes for me. Gabe and his band of adopted brothers Bull, Caz and Hawk are characters that I cannot wait to learn more about . This was Gabe and Audrey’s story and what a story it was.
Not a Hero was at times a hard book to read. Emotional and inspiring it was great to see Gabe and Audrey confront their pasts and together forge a new path to happiness, they both deserved it.
This was a fabulous start to a new series and I am excited to see what Ms.Sinclair has in store. Thank you Cherise Sinclair for yet another masterpiece, it was superbly written and I LOVED it.
This is not a normal Cherise Sinclair BDSM book, but I loved the new story line and can’t wait for the next brother’s story. The family dynamic of the brothers is just wonderful. Goes to show you don’t need the same blood to be a family.
The first book in a new series always sets the tone to the rest of the series in my opinion. So, the next books in this series are going to be awesome. Cherise Sinclair is an auto buy for me, every time. Gabe and Audrey are two damaged souls who find each other. Problem is, can they stay together. The drama, the mystery, the intrigue………..all kept me turning the pages to get their story. I loved it and can’t wait for the next brother to get his story!
I love this first book of Cherish Sinclair’s new series. I can’t wait for the other brothers’ stories. This book doesn’t have a cliff hanger ending. It’s Gabe’s story.
So it was a really enjoyable read
I really enjoyed this story! This is a great start to a new series, set in a wonderful town, full of colourful characters, and they are just starting to find their way, to be a town. Of course, they have some dangerous and unstable neighbours, but that just enhances the setting
This is the story of the new police chief, who is sure, he is there temporarily. His two brothers, they hope he will stay. Of course, he meets, and is attracted to someone, and it is obvious, she has more of a story than she is showing to them. She is also here, temporarily. Lots of sexy things happen, and some truly sweet things happen, and some really bad and dangerous things happen. Of course, we get our happily ever after, and it left me feeling that happy feeling, and I loved it!
While this story was primarily about Gabe McNair, I was completely delighted in starting to get to know Mako’s other sons…Bull, Caz and Hawk. I also thoroughly enjoyed meeting the quirky cast of characters that inhabit Rescue. They were just fun. Cherise Sinclair nailed off-the-beaten-path life in rural Alaska. Think Northern Exposure and Men In Trees rolled into romantic suspense. It just works. I cannot wait for the next book to be released.

WARNING: NOT SPOILER FREE!
Either I’m jaded or this is an incredibly tame, low heat book. Readers should know that this is a very different non-BDSM series. Don’t worry Gabe’s still bossy in bed
This book sets the scene for the series, so a lot of it was introducing us to the world and characters who inhabit Rescue Alaska. Audrey is a newcomer to town, and we get to learn about the surroundings through her eyes. Making it an interesting journey/read to go on.
Audrey was an incredibly easy heroine to like, and root for. She’s tough, resourceful, intelligent and has a sweet caring side. It’s no wonder that Gabe is drawn to her, despite the fact that he knows she’s not being honest with anyone about who she is.
What’s not to like about Gabe? He’s true a hero – even if a very reluctant one! It’s in his nature to help other people, and there is nothing sexier!
The drama/suspense of this plot was great. It was intriguing, realistic and kept you turning page after page wanting to find out what would happen!
This book was filled to the brim with plot, maybe too much. There were times when things seemed to come out of nowhere, and as if they should’ve been mentioned earlier but weren’t (so as not to info dump). And as much as I love Master Z, his cameo also seemed very out of place.
This was an excellent start to the series, and I am looking forward to reading the stories of Gabe’s brothers and their rocky road to finding love!
