I just reviewed Not My Kind of Hero by Pippa Grant. #NotMyKindofHero #NetGalley

Single mom Maisey and her 16 yo daughter escape to the ranch her uncle left her. Former reality show (flipping houses) co-star (with ex) didn’t realize the ranch came with an attractive HS teacher tenant. Flint is not thrilled to have Maisey the house or his life. At first. Their meet cute was one of my favorites! And this is a slow burn romance with just as much focus on family, healing, and personal growth/resilience. I really enjoyed the slower pace and connections- they felt real. I was rooting for all of the characters. I’m definitely going to keep reading more!

I don't always love rom coms that put the humor first, but something about Maisey and Flint just worked for me and I enjoyed, and laughed, my way through the book.

I think it was the characters themselves. I related to them and it made it easy for me to both laugh at them and get involved in the story and romance. And, the romance worked. I believed in the attraction, however reluctant it was on his part, and I was invested in the characters and the story.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.

Pippa has once again given me a hilariously entertaining read that also delivers on some feels! The close proximity only intensified the chemistry between Maisey and Flint. The banter was so fun. Not My Kind of Hero was such a delight. I loved the audio with Connor Crais and Savannah Peachwood, they were the cherry on top.

A delightful romantic comedy set in the charming Wyoming countryside. It's a tale of unexpected connections, featuring a single mom, a grumpy maths teacher, and a ranch full of challenges. The witty banter and quirky characters make this a fun and heartwarming read. Grant's storytelling shines in this tale of love, second chances, and finding the unexpected when you least expect it.

Masiey and her teenage daughter have ended up in Wyoming at a ranch that she inherited from her uncle. She meets her tenant Flint at the beginning which has a funny opening scene but Flint for part of the first part of the story is just a pain and it has nothing to do with his past, but he is upset that her uncle did not leave him the ranch for a project that he was working on. He also believes that she knows nothing because of the home improvement show she was on with her ex where she played the airhead but actually knows how to do everything, here is a mom trying to help her teenage daughter and he is being an ass at least from a guys point of view. When he finally does come around to thinking differently about her he of course now wants to take her to bed but she still holds him off because he is still her daughter's teacher. Juniper the daughter was a good character and stood up for herself especially when she had it out with her father at an airport which was great. Strong women which was a good part of the story with moments of fun sprinkled in between. Overall a good book once I got past Flint.

Single mom, Maisey, moves to Wyoming with her daughter, Juniper, after the divorce. Recovering from it, Maisey sets her sights on repairing her relationship with her daughter and does not have time for men. When Flint shows up to rescue her from a bear, Maisey cannot stand the cocky, self assured man. But as time passes, Maisey sees the man for who he is and ends up fighting herself over her own desires and what is best for her daughter.
Opinion
This book is a laugh out loud rom com. I am positive it lifted my spirits as I read through it. The situations that Maisey finds herself in are downright funny and the frustration that Flint had with her made me chuckle. This book was so good that I broke my own rules and sent a text to a friend before finishing it to tell her to run and get it to read. This is a book you do not want to miss.
Many thanks to Net Galley and Montlake for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Maisey put her dreams on hold to help her husband pursue his but after his betrayal she finds herself divorced and determined to be the mother that Juniper, her teenage daughter, needs. She has plans for the Wyoming ranch she inherited from her uncle and isn’t about to distracted by any man let alone the grumpy tenant who she seems to cross paths with on a regular basis.

Flint is a teacher and a soccer coach who saves his charm for his students and his grumpiness for everyone else. He has a difficult past that ensures he doesn’t allow people close but there is something about Maisey and her daughter that breaks through his walls whether he wants it or not.

This is a heartwarming story that is set in a small town and everything that entails. Maisey is looking for a new beginning while Flint is trying to overcome his past and despite the fact that neither was looking for love fate had other ideas when they find it in each other.

This book was such a fun read! Some parts had me absolutely hollering. There were a bunch of times that I was completely hit in the feels but the way everything works out kept a smile on my face long after I finished reading.

Pippa Grant always makes me laugh and makes me sweat. NOT MY KIND OF HERO did both. There's also a moody af teen, a bear, a grumpy hero, and a single mom starting over. Add some stellar small town antics and it's a win!

But I ended up really loving Maisy's story. She lost herself in her former husband for so many years. It's such a relatable and easy thing to get caught up in. I loved how it was written and how Maisy realized her mistakes and did her damnedest not to repeat them.

It's really refreshing to read a romance with slightly older characters. NOT MY KIND OF HERO did a perfect job of making them more seasoned, but not writing these two as suddenly at death's door after their 30s.

This was a really good read that I totally recommend. Not as steamy as Pippa Grant's otehr books, but still hot and full of fun.

Not My Kind of Hero is a delightful read that I thoroughly enjoyed. This book offers a refreshing take on a divorced single mother/grumpy teacher/tenant forbidden romance, and it's brimming with charm and humour.

The chemistry between the two main characters is electric and kept me eagerly turning the pages. The quirky cast of characters in the small town adds a layer of whimsy and personality to the story that I found truly endearing.

At its heart, this book tells the story of Maisey, a single mother on a journey to reconnect with her teenage daughter, Juniper, while unexpectedly stumbling upon love herself. Both Maisey and Flint are compelling characters who have faced their fair share of life's challenges and are doing their best to navigate the ups and downs.

If you're in the mood for a heartwarming and lighthearted read that combines romance with family dynamics and small-town quirks, Maisey and Flint's story is the perfect choice. Pippa Grant has crafted a story that's both entertaining and emotionally resonant, making it an ideal pick for those looking for a feel-good escape in the world of romance.

You can never go wrong with a Pippa Grant romance read! They are a guaranteed romance reading good time! 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗠𝗬 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗢 was that and more. Once I started reading this single mom, grumpy/sunshine romance I was all in. It was sweet and sexy and funny. Everything I love reading. I’m giving it the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval, TBR & Enjoy!

Pippa Grant strikes the prefect balance between hilarious and heartfelt. Not My Kind of Hero had me alternating between cackling and an aching heart. I absolutely adore Maisy and Junie, their relationship is a work in progress but so sweet with both of them actively working to make things better. Flint is perfection, watching him go from never wanting to fall in love to "oh no, I'm falling in love" is delicious and swoony. He didn't swoop in to rescue her, but stood by and offered support and that just made me love him more. In true Pippa Grant style, the meet cute is entertaining and Hell's Bells is exactly what you want in a small, tight knight, quirky town. I highly recommend this book, it's a true feel good story.

3.5 stars
I didn’t love this one. The teenager was very whiny and the drama with the father irritated me. The romance took a backseat to the story.

This was hard to get into at first. Maisey seemed irritating and the setting felt forced. I usually adore small town romances but this took me far longer to actually enjoy. Flint was an enjoyable grump.

Not My Kind of Hero follows single mom Maisey Spencer, who has just relocated with her 16-year-old daughter Juniper, to a property in rural Wyoming that she has inherited from her uncle. Juniper is not happy about the move, having left behind all of her friends as well as her position on her school's soccer team. Maisey knows the transition for Juniper is going to be tough and makes it her mission to do everything she can to help her adjust.

In addition to taking care of her daughter, Maisey also has to contend with a tenant, who she meets under less than ideal circumstances when she has a run-in with a bear eating a dead cow on her property. Flint Jackson gruffly comes to her rescue, and after trading a few snarky barbs, the two of them awkwardly part ways. Maisey soons learns that Flint is also a math teacher at her daughter's new school as well as the soccer coach so she knows she'll unfortunately have to deal with the sexy grump on a regular basis.

This was truly such a fun read! I loved Maisey. She's fiesty, independent, and resourceful, and just so devoted to her daughter. I just adored everything about her. Juniper is fabulous too, clearly taking after her mom quite a bit, which made it fun to watch the two of them go head to head.

I also loved Flint, especially once we start to delve beneath that gruff exterior and see what a softie he really is. His chemistry with Maisey was off the charts and their banter was pure snarky perfection that had me laughing so hard! That chemistry, coupled with their slow burn romance, just made this such a delightful read.

If you're looking for a bingable romcom, be sure to check this one out. I flew through the pages of this one in a day, laughing and swooning all the way!

This romance is perfect for fans of these tropes:

💋Single Mom
💋Forced Proximity
💋Grumpy Sunshine
💋Small Town Romance
💋Forbidden Love

This was cute friends to enemies to lovers book. I liked that it was an odd. And the characters were a little odd. Which, I’ve found that all of Pippa’s stories are not the norm. And always a little over the top.

The Heroine. I loved that she came home to help her mother with her bakery that had recently lost her eye sight. She was a good sister and a daughter.

The Hero. I really liked his character. He was sweet to everyone. He was a little rude to the heroine, but she broke his heart so it’s understandable. I get where he was coming.

And the romance was cute.

If you want a funny and cute read. I would definitely recommend this book.

Small-town Humor Gold!

When life gets heavy, there is one clear and reliable way I can count on to lighten my mood but also bring me serious giggles, heartfelt smiles, and swoony relationship goals: A Pippa Grant novel. And Not My Kind of Hero is another perfect example of how and why her hilarity and hijinks, nestled amongst some steamy heat and seriously deep elements of heart, are one of my favorite go-to mood balms.

Not My Kind of Hero is chock-full of great characters in an engaging and fun storyline, with some pretty big emotions as well. It’s a bit of an angsty slow burn as both mains grapple with demons and expectations, but once ignition hits, it’s definitely got energy flare intensity. And all those spaces between and leading up to that flare are fraught with the humor Pippa brings best. Small town feels, family connections, starting over and finding your tribe—all there.

Flint Jackson is serious book boyfriend material. And Maisey Spencer is one-hundred percent the person I could easily fall into a fast friendship with. Their connection is beautifully built, as are the lives they’re both struggling to manage separately. And I love that they’re drawn together by a character we never meet (Tony), but I feel like I know personally by the time their tale is told.

Not My Kind of Hero is truly standalone gold, and a fantastic way to lose yourself for a few hours. Just don’t be surprised if you find a bit of yourself within the lines and pages as well.

I knew from the start that this would be a 4 or 5 star read for me. I mean…it is a Pippa Grant book. She is guaranteed to have me laughing throughout the entire read and honestly? That’s exactly what I look for in a book.

This one is no different. It has more of a grumpy/sunshine aspect to it which I LOVED. I loved the fact that they just kept running into each other on every occasion. It was like the stars just aligned perfectly for them wherever they went. I just wish they both SAW IT HAPPEN because holy slow burn Batman!!

Definitely give this one a shot. You will not be disappointed!

All the shenanigans and hilarity you come to expect from Pippa, while she some how makes it seem totally plausible! As a Mom of teens, this book spoke to me and I appreciated how she showed the struggles of parenting (and teaching) teens while capturing the individual needs of a parent. Don't misunderstand me, it's a rom-com and the romance is central to the story - the side story of a mother/daughter just hit me.

Maisey and Flint have their own reasons for not wanting to get involved, as well as their own assumptions of each other. As they get to know the real person underneath that assumption, the reasons seem less important. 5 stars, recommend this rom-com!
