Description
An imperfect hero battles his inner demons in a race against time to save the woman he loves...
First he had to rescue her. Then he’d try to win her back.
A Marine serving in the galactic frontier, Lieutenant Lukas Frank has a lot in common with a street dog named Bang-Bang; they both started off as scrappy orphans fighting to survive–and beat the odds. Things change when Bang-Bang leads Lukas to starpilot Captain Carlynn Riga. The tough war hero learns what it means to surrender–his heart. Lukas’s struggles with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, threaten to tear the three of them apart, but nothing threatens them more than when Carlynn goes missing in action. Now the rugged, emotionally scarred Marine and his K-9 partner must find Carlynn and bring her home, or risk losing everything he has finally found worth fighting for.
(Expanded from the novella “Stray”, originally published in the Pets in Space 1 Anthology)
A Note From the Publisher
A note from the Author: Star Hero is a stand-alone HEA novella in the world of the Star Series. It’s not necessary to read this one in series order (it contains no spoilers) but if you would like to know the suggested reading order, Star Hero takes place simultaneously with Star Champion (previously titled The Champion of Barésh) and after “The Prince, the Pilot, and the Puppy” from Embrace the Romance: Pets in Space 2. I hope you enjoy this latest installment in the Star Series!
Advance Praise
Advance Reviews:
"A heart-pounding space adventure. I am once again spell-bound by Susan’s thoughtful literary approach of bringing into play Bang-Bang to examine the risks associated with an unfolding love story and the way our past history opens as well as cloaks the heart to direct our present and future. That said, I am eager to read this pet-rich intelligent anthology.” --Goodreads
"I have never read anything by this author before and I have been missing out. What a wonderful story that kept me reading right to the end. It grips you from the first words” --Goodreads
"Sparks fly when Lucas, the Marine hero, meets Carlynn, the star pilot. A few months later different sparks fly and Lucas learns what it's like to lose everything he always wanted. Can he find Carlynn and win her back?” --Goodreads
"Beyond the romance it dealt with the very real issue of PTSD really well, covering not only the person who has it but how it can effect those who love and care for them. I absolutely adored Bang Bang and cant wait to read Puppy's story.” --Goodreads

A big thank you to NetGalley for the ARC for my honest review. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. I have read several books by Susan Grant and have enjoyed them. This novella was no different. It grabs your attention from the beginning. If you are looking for a laugh a minute really light hearted book this isn't it. This is intense with real life issues. Sometimes love is a challenge. I think most romance readers would enjoy this book. The setting is irrelevant-it could have been set anywhere. The alien setting for me makes it more fun. Try the book!!

Star Hero: A Star Series Novella by Susan Grant
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was one of the stories from Pets in Space #1 and is a slightly upgraded version. I loved Bang Bang when I first read the story and still loved him reading this again. Bang Bang helps bring two people together and works to make sure they survive when danger arrives. The puppy that is in the first of the story gets his story in Pets in Space #2 coming out in October.

This Novella is an expansion on a story that first appeared in volume 1 of Pets In Space .
Whilst the plot remains the same the Author manages to expand on her characters .
She brings the problem of PTSD to the fore ,( where it should be) , how it affects a person and how others relate to the affected person .
The story however remains one of love between a man , a woman and their pet - all who at some time have rescued the other .... especially when Carlynn goes missing .
I particularly liked the interactions between Carlynn and Lukas in this issue - she was much more likable .
Bang-Bang deserves 4 stars just for himself - I hope the Author will continue to write more in this series .
