For seven years he’s
fought for his country. Now he’ll fight for her.
Army Ranger Dare Conners
has been through hell. He’s left combat behind, yet the memories that refuse to
fade are proving just as dangerous. Ordered to take R&R, he joins his buddy
for beaches, beers, and babes—if that can’t cure him, nothing will. But when he
meets Berkeley, a woman who affects him like no one else, a new kind of battle
begins . . .
An Admiral’s daughter, Berkeley knows her
life has been planned since birth. The right school, the right boyfriend—and
now that she’s graduated—the right marriage. But after years of being right,
Berkley is ready to be a little wrong. And Dare Conners has wrong written
all over him. The sexy soldier has a body built for sin and secrets he won’t
share. What starts as a fling quickly grows into something more. But summer
can’t last forever, and when the truth comes out, both Berkeley and Dare could
be in for quite a fall.
My Review
Last True Hero is a fabulous tale of romance with a twist of suspense.
Berkeley has always been one to follow her parents rules and the path they have laid out for her, she knows when to pick her battles and when to do as she's told. But this last demand, she knows she cannot accept. She won't marry a man she doesn't love. What she doesn't expect is to find someone her heart is drawn to while dealing with this complicated mess.
Dare came to town, with one thing on his mind, finding peace. His army buddy Drake told him if he was goign to find it anywhere it would be at his place on the beach. Shortly after arriving, Dare gets his first look at Berkeley and feels drawn to her. He wants to get to know her, but she's not so keen on that at first.
I LOVED Berkeley. She's full of sassy attitude, but she's also loyal and respectful. She is a do-gooder, people pleaser, but also has discovered her limits. She doesn't want to hurt anyone, especially not her parents or best friend, but she also has a strong desire to finally be true to herself, and that self is nothing like the woman her parents have told her she will be.
Dare is struggling with a lot, he's got PTSD, he's sort of lost in the world, unknown to him what he will do in his future. To top it all of his foster brother arrives with drama following.
There is a lot going on in Berkeley and Dare's lives, but as the two get to know each other better, they find more than just a mutual attraction, they discover they are beginning to have real feelings for each other. As mistakes are made, and misunderstandings abound, they face the ultimate battle, that for the other's heart.
This book will make you laugh, cry, swoon, and everything in the middle. There are parts that will have you on the edge of your seat, and others that take your breath away. The characters are compelling and full of life.
I look forward to following the side characters as they hopefully get their own books in the series and also hope to see Berkeley and Dare in future books as well.

Diana Gardin was born and raised combing the coasts of Southeastern Virginia. She is now a happy resident of South Carolina as she married into an enormous Carolina-rooted family. She loves the beach, and even more than that she loves to read while sitting on the beach. While writing was always a passion of Diana’s, she enrolled in college to become an elementary-school teacher. After eight years of teaching in both Virginia and South Carolina, she decided to stay at home with her first child. This decision is what opened her eyes to the fact that she still very much loved to write, and her first novel was written.
