Hanna has a moment of epiphany when she realizes her crush for forever, Raiden Ulysses Miller, is not ever going to be hers. She sees her life as narrow and decides to do something about it.
Raiden Miller is the town's local hero. A former Marine with the medal to prove his hero status, he comes home, shrouded in mystery. It takes a while, but eventually Hanna catches his eye.
After all these years of Raid and Hanna living in the same town, the question is why? Is Raid interested in Hanna because she's sweet and cute? Or does Raid have something else going on?
Another incredibly HOT erotic story of a wounded/broken hero, Kristen rocks our world again with this magnificent tale.
First let me say, I’m thrilled this book came out early...ok it played havoc with my reading schedule but of course I dropped everything to fit it in and it was so worth it. I discovered it was out around 7 pm and needless to say it was a minimal sleep night :D. Yes, I read it straight through, riveted to every word.
Now for the story, Hanna was absolutely adorable with a developing inner strength that blossomed throughout the entire book.
Raiden U. Miller is a war hero, dealing with survivors guilt and the actions he took during the war. Finding that he fits best in a world that sits in the grey zone of morality. Hanna is the beacon of light that can’t be denied in is grey world.
The sexual chemistry is combustible and Raid likes to play...and they played often.
Wonderfully quirky heroin, a hero in need of rescue, a basket loving cat, wise woman grandma with hearing like a Sheppard and even cameos from characters we love from the past Ashley books Raid had it all. 4.5 Stars and an absolute must read!

Just an FYI I read that someone bought the book and it started in the middle of the book, well mine did too!! If you're reading on a nook click your text opitions and at the very bottom it has something about the publisher on mine it was off so I turned it on and it took me to chapter one. It just makes it so you can't change the background and things like that! Hope this helps anyone with this problem!

Every series, every story, every character that Kristen Ashley creates are as addictive as they are entertaining. Give this woman a movie deal!
Raid is the story of another strong alpha male lead character that you cannot help but swoon for. Hanna, like most of KA's lead females is funny, quirky and someone you'd want to be friend. I always look forward to the reappearance and reference to characters from other KA books and series.
Cannot wait for more!

I just wanted to add that this book is 600+ pages, just so others know that this book is not short. I keep reading that people wish the book was longer and I'm like, "huh?" I hate short books and I look for that in reviews and avoid those books. Anything by KA is lengthy and hot and worth the eyestrain of reading all day and night.

I love this series...but I gotta say Knight will always be my favorite with Raid being a close second. Had a hard time deciding who my favorite character was...Grams or Raiden. Great book. Love me some KA heroes.

I cringed at how bad the dialog was by Raid; felt a little too white trash to me...even if it was to make him seem "tough." The story line was just okay... I kept waiting for an actual plot twist to make things exciting, and it never really came. Not sure if I will attempt another book by this author.

This was the first time in as long as I can remember that I was looking forward to a book ending. I actually considered just not finishing it.
A wounded/broken 'Hero' . Cutsie girl that never left the home town that's always been in love with him but of course, he never notices her.
She 'gives up' on the idea of his loving her...for about a page and a half. And then he says 'JUMP' and she says 'how high' and we're off.
He is completely controlling and other than a couple of times that she raises her voice to him (oh gasp), she goes along with it.
Then we get into his liking to play 'games'. Of course, that means sexually and what is little Miss Peggy Sue to do but go along with it/him.
Even to crawling across the floor to him on her hands and knees because he tells her to.Of course, he gives her the 'safe' word. Really?!
His mysterious 'badass' job that that takes him away for extended periods of time only to come back to her sitting on the porch in a swing
making her afghans to sell. A nice, respectable job for the little woman to do. And the morning after the first night of playing with him, she makes him a special cake the next morning.
She takes care of her old Great Grandmother out of love. Gets taken by the local car dealer (thank goodness HE'S around to get the money back!).
She gets taken advantage of by two friends but again, thank goodness he's around to figure out what they're up to.
Every other word out of his mouth is sexually crude though I got the impression that this was how the author was making him 'tough'.
And when Sweet Little Thing tells him he might want to talk to one of the other guys that was with him when his unit got destroyed...I had to laugh
Thank goodness she gave him such a brillant idea to solve all his problems! She gets beat up by the bad guys.
He and his other tough guy 'Heros' hunt them down and kill them. And on and on and on...
She should of washed his mouth out after the first time she talked to him and, told him to play with himself.
Sorry, I just can't believe any of it. Thought I might be on to another author to start reading but I'll have to take a pass.

Kristen Ashley is the best! I love all of her work and as always Raid did not disappoint. Loved all the characters - even Spot. I just wish the book was longer. I wasn't ready for it to end.

I really love Kristen Ashley's books. I can never get enough of them!
So far of all the Unfinished Heroes, Raid is definitely my favorite. The intensity he brings out of himself is really empowering.

In anticipation of Deacon, I decided to reread parts of Raid that mentioned him. Well...as always happens when I try to just reread certain parts of her books, I ended up rereading the whole book again. Her books, with her alpha males and strong women, pull me in over and over. Their struggles, their quest to have and give all to each other, are written in a way that never fails to thrill me. Raid was no different...a page or two ended up as a complete reread, with all the satisfaction I felt the first time I read it. Now I'm digging in for Deacon...thanks, Ms. Ashley!

Just didn't do it for me. Grams was great but the book just couldn't make me feel too much for either character. Dialog was lame. .
