Dear Avon Books,
Where are my heroes? Whenever I'm reading a book by one of my favorite authors I find I'm falling for the wrong guy — not the hero, but the other man — and what I really want is for him to have his own story.
Like Jake Linley, from Someone to Watch Over Me by Lisa Kleypas…that doctor could sit by my bedside if I ever got sick. And Ned Blydon in Splendid by Julia Quinn...he makes me want to learn to waltz! I never thought living in a drafty castle would be much fun until Simon of Ravenswood in Master of Desire by Kinley MacGregor came along.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that these are my men — when do they get their stories?
Sincerely,
A Romance Fan

So if you find yourself asking, "Where is my hero?" you'll discover the answer right here in this delicious collection by New York Times bestseller Lisa Kleypas, New York Times bestseller Julia Quinn and USA Today bestseller Kinley MacGregor.

Where's My Hero?: Against the Odds/Midsummer's Knight/A Tale of Two Sisters
This review is only for the Lisa Kleypas story, "Against The Odds".
Very enjoyable 93-page read, but boy do I wish it was a 293 page read--it would've been a much better story if the characters of 20 year-old Lydia Craven (Derek and Sara's--from Dreaming of You-- oldest child) and 30 year-old Dr. Jake Linley were a little more developed. I know I met Dr. Linley in another Kleypas book (Someone to Watch Over Me)?, but I didn't recall much about him except for his age and his good looks. In this story he's also got a bit of a reputation as a ladies man. Pretty Lydia Craven has just become engaged to Robert, Lord Wray, but if he's being honest with himself, Jake doesn't like it, even though he and Lydia hardly get along. The mathematically brainy Lydia and Wray are a good intellectual match, but they get along like friends or brother and sister, not like a couple in love. Lydia thinks that the possibility of her finding her 'soul mate' is practically nil, so Lord Wray looks like a good enough bet for her, and he's considered a great catch. Jake thinks it's all wrong, but is he ready to declare his true feelings for Lydia? What can he as a doctor give Lydia (who grew up fabulously wealthy)? Would his love be enough for her?
There's a nice steamy scene where Lydia and Jake get locked in a wine cellar (by someone who's trying to encourage their relationship) and Jake teaches Lydia what 'afterglow' is all about, and they finally right the wrongs and misunderstandings in their relationship. Well done, but far too short.
Probably the best part for me was seeing Sara and Derek again, and seeing what happened to their life 20 years later. Hey, they may be older, but these two still have plenty of steam!
I'm hoping one day LK decides to write more stories on the descendants of Sara and Derek--lots of potential there! 4 stars
