Be My Hero by Linda Kage is the third book in her Forbidden Men series. While it is part of a series it definitely can be read as a standalone novel. This is the story of Pick and Eva. 
 The tale is told from both perspectives and is such a fantastic read. It shows the dark and miserable childhoods that they both suffered through without making it over the top. It shows both these characters as damaged individuals who choose to rise above their pasts and not let the darkness drag them down. 
 The connections are electric and I really couldn't put this book down. Every moment not reading was a moment I was waiting to be able to pick it back up again. I will definitely be reading more from this author as soon as I am able to.
