Review: Trusting the Hero - Heroes of Freedom Ridge #8

Trusting the Hero book cover on blue background

I'm sneaking one more Heroes of Freedom Ridge book in before the end of the year, which means that I'm almost halfway through the series! Trusting the Hero is the eighth book in this series, and is the second book by Hannah Jo Abbott.

Book Synopsis

He wants to protect her, but she’s desperate to keep her secret.

When Addison Monroe moved to Freedom and landed a job at the resort, she knew this was the community she had always wanted. But her hidden past comes calling, and Addison is forced to call the police for help. Despite the danger, she needs to keep her secrets safe - even from the handsome officer assigned to her case.

Ty Riggs came to Freedom in search of a fresh start and a new challenge - which he finds as a police officer in the small town. But the hurt from his past makes it hard for him to feel a part of the close-knit community. When He takes on Addison’s case, he can’t help but be drawn to her, but she has thick walls and won’t let him through.

Addison wants to let Ty in, but she’s afraid telling him everything will cost her the life she’s come to love. When they’re both put in danger, will they be able to trust each other with the truth?

Book Thoughts

You really can't go wrong with the Heroes of Freedom Ridge series. Even though I haven't finished it, after getting a taste of most of the authors who have written for this series so far, it's been wonderful to not only discover new authors, but to also enjoy the continuing storylines when earlier authors are back! In this book, it makes so much sense that Carson and Nicole have returned from Stranded with the Hero and that they are friends with Ty and Addison. It's lovely getting to see how a couple has progressed while at the same time, seeing a new relationship start budding. In this case, reading about the two couples together has been double the fun!

I love that although Ty and Addison both come from different and difficult circumstances, they are open to seeing how God will work in their lives. I also love that Carson and Nicole are persistent with their friends, but gentle and loving, especially as it comes to church. The element of suspense in the book ramps up the need for protective services, which gives the characters more opportunities to interact with each other. Since I don't want to give away any spoilers, let's just say that Hannah Jo Abbott is excellent at building up a mystery and keeping readers engaged and on their toes. Trusting the Hero is about so much more than Ty and Addison trusting each other; ultimately, the book is about their journey in fully trusting God and His ways.

Review: A Heart to Treasure - Searching Hearts #1
