Unsung Hero (A summer Vacation Romance #4) Kindle Edition

by Judy Kentrus (Author), Joyce Lamb (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.9 out of 5 stars (16)
Shane Wallace never considered himself a “hero.” He loved his country and served honorably in the U.S. Navy, retiring six month ago. His life is in a holding pattern, waiting to figure out which direction to take.

Shane and his German Shepherd, Liberty, stay in a campground close to Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota, one of the most patriotic locations in the United States, the first week in July.

When a cat from the neighboring campsite takes off after a squirrel, Liberty joins the free-for-all, chasing the cat up a tree. The owner is beside herself with worry, so Shane volunteers to save her pet. Unknowingly, the cat is a celebrity and the feline’s fans gathered to witness her rescue. Shane flinched when they called him a hero and reluctantly held back claiming, I’m no such thing.


Taylor Parish spends ten months of the year teaching history to middle school children. She spends the rest of her time, driving a converted school bus, nicknamed Tillie. Her co-pilot, is a striped Toyger cat, named Winnemucca.
With the campground being in close proximity to Mt. Rushmore, she’s looking forward to doing research for the next book in her YA series, Adventures with Tillie.

She didn’t count on her mischievous cat needing to be rescued by her neighbor. She wrote about men and women of courage in her books, but this was the first time she’d met one in real life. Puzzled by his strong aversion to the word hero, she decides to make Shane Wallace understand the true meaning of the word “hero.”
Sweet, contemporary romance, with a bit of humor provided by two mischievous pets.

I was born and raised in NJ and moved to PA ten years ago. I'm a romantic at heart, having married my high school sweetheart and we raised a wonderful son and daughter. My books are fun, romantic suspense that will make you laugh, cry and sigh from their HEA's.

    Nobody does romance, family, and location story telling like Judy Kentrus

    This romantic story takes place over the July 4th holiday at Mt. Rushmore.

    Shane and Taylor are perfect for each other, but neither one will admit it. Shane is a retired Navy man that is haunted by his past relationship with his Father and Brother, who are lifetime Navy men. Taylor is a teacher that teaches middle school students but travels in the summer in an old run down converted school bus named "Tilly".

    They cross paths at a campground over the July 4th Holiday. You will meet other characters at the Campground and on their travels.

    I loved this couple. I want be on that bus. I want to experience a Mt. Rushmore July 4th.

    This is a 5 star + read.

    I was given an ARC by the author to give my honest opinion.

    Judy has a way of drawing in her readers. Her descriptions and narrative are spot on. She puts you into the story and makes you feel what the characters are in the moment. The chemistry between Taylor and Shane is real and so on point. Just want everyone to know that this is a must read romance.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A modern romance I couldn't put down!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    Can Taylor show Shane he’s a true hero while celebrating July 4 at Mt. Rushmore? Nothing pleases Taylor more than teaching kids about history. She’s also an author and her book series is a hit with middle-grade kids. During the summer months, she loads up her renovated school bus with her cat and they go traveling, looking and researching her next book’s topic. It’s almost July 4 and she’s in the heart of American history: Mount Rushmore. She’s giddy with excitement and meets her neighbor when he rescues her cat from a tree. She calls him a hero which he deflects. A veteran not a hero? Horse hockey. The more time they spend together, the more he opens up about himself and before she realizes it, she’s falling in love with him. Can she convince Shane he’s a true hero worthy of love?

    Unsung Hero is a summer romance I couldn’t put down. I connected with Taylor right away. Her love of history is infectious and it was such fun to see Rushmore from her viewpoint. Shane is a veteran who is quite a complex character. His issues dealing with heroism are both realistic and thought-provoking. The setting of Mt. Rushmore is lush and vibrant, thanks to Judy Kentrus’ writing prowess. The descriptive narration is so well done, that the story comes alive. The plot moves at a nice easy pace with colorful characters including a friendly dog and a feisty cat. The romance itself is realistic yet very emotional. There are plenty of obstacles for this couple to overcome yet I enjoyed every minute. A modern romance to get your patriotic spirit in the mood, Unsung Hero is a bucket-list read for 2022. Highly recommend!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting and Sweet
    Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2022

    This novella is an uplifting and amusing book about a rather shy military hero and an idealistic woman. The romance is sweet and fast-paced, and it was nice to read about a military man who didn't come with a lot of baggage, although he had family problems. I always find that Judy Kentrus brings a lot of emotion to her stories, even the lighter ones. If you want a short but feel-good book, don't miss this one!

    Loved the book. A man and woman meet at Mt Rushmore. They learn about the history of the area and the monument while falling in love. They both come to terms with their past and make decisions about their future. I highly recommend it.
