He walked into school on his first day and didn’t care what the other students thought of him.
Dark. Broody. Dangerous.
He didn’t care where I cared too much.
Then the rumors started.
He failed his senior year at his previous school. His brother committed suicide. It’s his fault.
And for one blessed week, I wasn’t the topic of discussion.
You see, I’m the daughter of a socialite who has no soul. I’m the one paying for her sins. They never let me forget where I come from, and she never stops telling me what a failure I am.
But then Colton Lawson looks at me, and unlike the other students, his dark gaze seems to see through the lies spun around me.
He starts appearing out of nowhere, fighting my battles for me only to stalk away, making me feel like I’m nothing but a nuisance.
My name is Brie Weinstock, and this is my story of how a boy walked into my hell and fought for me, even though I never expected him to.
The question is, am I strong enough to repay the favor?
This is a high school romance that deals with sensitive subjects. Adult readers only.

MY REVIEW
'NOT MY HERO:'
Is a full length romance novel by Michele Heard. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.'
I love how this author has no fear, she'll step where many authors are too afraid to go, she dives in and tackles such sensitive subjects, always done so beautifully and the topic in this book was no different. I wasn't prepared for this, gut-wrenching rawness had my emotions spiralling out of control. This book wrung every little emotion out of me it possibly could until I was left dry. I read this from front to back in record speed, I couldn't put it down, I didn't want it to end, this was such a sad but beautiful journey.
Brie Weinstock's self esteem had been pretty much obliterated by her unhinged socialite mother, throw in past and present bullies and its a wonder Brie was standing at all. Piece by piece they were stealing the very air she was breathing, breaking her down until there was literally nothing left. Her journey was heartbreaking and not for the faint of heart. It's right in your face with nowhere to hide.
Until a new boy rocks up to school and changes Brie's life forever. She had him pegged wrong from the start, with his piercings and his don't give a f#ck attitude she thought he'd be just like everyone else at her school and join the ranks with their bullying ways. But this boy had a heart of gold and he wasn't prepared to stand around watching boys pick on a defenceless girl, she wrung emotions out of him which he'd struggled to repress.
Colton Lawson blames himself for his brother's death, Brie reminds her of him with her timidness and he decides to jump in and save the lost girl before it's too late. Neither realising that they both need saving.
Oh how I loved Colton, he stole my heart from the get go, from his little motivational quotes to his beautiful protective sole, these two were just perfect for each other.
