About this listen
I never planned on sleeping with him. Nor did I intend to make him my enemy. I only went into the bar to scope out my competition–him. The scorching hot night that followed was a mutually pleasurable accident. Of course I knew we were in the running for the same position.
It’s not my fault he didn’t know who I was.
Gathering intel is my specialty.
Maybe if he were better at it, he would have gotten the job instead of me.
I tried my hardest to resist our chemistry, but he was too damn hot.
Too charming. Too funny. Too masculine.
And he smelled so freaking good.
My hormones took over.
Now we're working together on the Redleg Security intelligence team. Every day. High stress. Close quarters. Sexual chemistry off the charts.
But he hates me.
The thing is… he should hate me. I treated him like a pawn.
But he’s a real man with dreams, passion, and pain.
And I’ve never wanted someone as much as I want him.
But it’s too late for us.
I made us rivals when we could have been so much more.
Note: Rival Hero is a bodyguard romantic suspense story with rom-com vibes. It features a strong heroine who's a former CIA intelligence officer and a swoony former Army Ranger hero who will make you laugh one minute and swoon the next. There's action and all the feels, along with a healthy dose of humor and tons of spice. There is an HEA, no cheating, and no "other woman" drama. Content warnings are available on the author's website.
Tropes: One night stand to office rivals to lovers, good boy goes bad, and forced proximity.
Listening Order: Rival Hero is Book 4 in the Redleg Security Series. Each of the first four books in this series features a different couple, including their happily ever after and is a "complete story" with no cliffhangers. However, the series is best enjoyed in order to avoid suspense-related plot spoilers. Each book starts right where the prior book ends. If you do not wish to listen to them all, then you can listen as a stand-alone.

Story
The first day that she walked onto the surgical floor that Chevy Clayborne spent most of his time on, he knew that he’d do anything to make her his. For two years, he played the long game. He slowly insinuated himself into her life, and the moment that she needed him, he swooped in like the knight in shining armor that he only pretended to be but most assuredly wasn’t. He’s no real knight. In fact, he’s the villain in everyone’s story but his own.

Story
I’m a no-nonsense man. As the head of a business empire, I have to be. I’m logical, cut-throat, and don’t believe in cheesy things like marriage and happy ever afters. But when my best friend asks me to be Best Man, I can't say no. En route to the wedding, I get stuck at the airport when my flight is delayed, and this obnoxious woman sits next to me. Not only does she keep drinking champagne even though she obviously can’t hold her liquor, but she seems determined to push every single one of my buttons.

I never thought I’d be a runaway bride. But when it came down to it, I just couldn’t marry the wrong man. So, I ran. And somehow, I ended up in Star Falls, Colorado—stranded, no luggage, no plan—in a wedding dress with a past I’d rather forget. Fate lands me in the only available rental in town, a cozy little cabin… right next door to Byron Miller, the brooding billionaire who wants nothing to do with me. Or this town.

Hank Patterson refuses to let his buddy Jake slowly kill himself with alcohol. Hank’s plan to expand the Brotherhood Protectors into Colorado will only work if he can hire the best men for the job. He wants Jake, and sends fellow Coloradan, Kujo, to pull Jake out of an alcohol-induced haze to work for the team. Hank’s contact has a place they can set up operations while flying under the radar—a flailing dude ranch, run by a former Marine Gunnery sergeant and his feisty daughter.

Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again. I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here. I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans.

He may be old enough to be my dad, but the man's charisma is a winning touchdown straight to my lust-filled mind that agrees.

I didn't believe I had a twin until I met Ashlee and saw myself in the eyes of her daughter. I was adopted. I understand why someone might seek out their biological parents, but I'm not her daughter's father. I shouldn't be the one caring for her after a car accident. This attraction between us is something I shouldn't act on. She's not mine. Her daughter isn't either. I've located the man Ashlee came looking for, but introducing her to him could endanger us all. Falling in love with the mother of my twin's child would be a mistake, but I can't stay away.

It all started with an anonymous letter. He wasn’t supposed to find it - no one was. And he definitely wasn’t supposed to answer it. We end up talking through letters and sticky notes in a book. All baring our darkest, deepest secrets. It’s all fun and games until I find out who my pen pal is...Xavier Emery. King of my basketball-obsessed town, my childhood bully, and the guy I am in grave danger of falling in love with. But the rules were clear: We can never know who we’re talking to, and the confessions can never, ever get out.

Competing as a professional rodeo cowboy was everything he wanted. All that mattered. An opportunity he wouldn’t pass by. But it meant leaving his high-school sweetheart behind. Mae Wells was sweet, and innocent, and quiet. Not the kind of girl you dragged away from her family and home to follow you around the country. At eighteen it didn’t seem like a huge sacrifice. But at almost thirty, Boone’s lived enough and lost enough to realize he threw away something precious. Something he’s been chasing ever since.

It all started with an anonymous letter. He wasn’t supposed to find it - no one was. And he definitely wasn’t supposed to answer it. We end up talking through letters and sticky notes in a book. All baring our darkest, deepest secrets. It’s all fun and games until I find out who my pen pal is...Xavier Emery. King of my basketball-obsessed town, my childhood bully, and the guy I am in grave danger of falling in love with. But the rules were clear: We can never know who we’re talking to, and the confessions can never, ever get out.

Story
Pretending to date my rich, sexy, and caring friend Gabriel could grant us the deal of a lifetime . . . or ruin my chances of ever running my family's company. Gabe is handsome and surprisingly down to earth for a billionaire. Teaming up with him for a massive project shouldn't have required us to fake a relationship. My machista Latine family is to blame for forcing us into it. They think my goal should be to settle down and make babies, not run a corporation. But I won't let anything come between me and my career plans . . .

Story
Competing as a professional rodeo cowboy was everything he wanted. All that mattered. An opportunity he wouldn’t pass by. But it meant leaving his high-school sweetheart behind. Mae Wells was sweet, and innocent, and quiet. Not the kind of girl you dragged away from her family and home to follow you around the country. At eighteen it didn’t seem like a huge sacrifice. But at almost thirty, Boone’s lived enough and lost enough to realize he threw away something precious. Something he’s been chasing ever since.

Rival Hero might be my favorite in the Redleg Series. With each book I think it’s the best, but they just keep getting better and better! This book has the perfect amount of suspense, spice, witty banter, and heart. My gosh I love Jackie Walker so freaking much! What an absolute legend she is 😍
Mia has a past that she has been trying to reconcile with for years. Leaving the CIA to work for Redleg may be just the opportunity she needs in order to “fix” things. Her inner p!mp NEEDS information. Which is what leads her to Klein, aka Cal. This ‘chance’ encounter ends in a heated night, though each feels something more. Weeks later, it all comes to a head when Cal finally sees Mia again. And her betrayal causes Klein to want to punish her, a feeling he’s never had before. This sweet as pie mama’s boy has an inner Dom just waiting to be unleashed.
What can I say about the narration of this book except that it was utter perfection?! Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon are two of THE BEST in the business! They did a stellar job or narrating this entire story. Clarke and Mallon embodied each character to a T. They made me laugh (a lot!), swoon (also a lot!), gasp, cry, MELT, and added that extra something to the suspenseful parts that made them so nerve wracking and exciting! I seriously am in awe of their talent and skill. No matter where you land on the “Cake vs Pie” debate, we can all agree that Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke bring decadence to our ears 🖤🖤
This book is so much more than the EPIC SPICE that it contains. Whew 🥵 it’s freaking fantastic! But the story itself, the guilt, the burdens, the self discovery, the forgiveness…THAT is what makes this story so good. Well, that and the absolute off the charts witty banter! 😂 I straight up CACKLED throughout the story. I don’t want to give too much away on this story, just know that this book is an absolute ‘must read!’
Some thoughts while reading:
The heartbreaking dynamic between Klein and his mother made me cry more than once. He cares so much for her and what she’s going through is destroying him. My heart is shattering for him.
Mia has so much trepidation and vulnerability because of what her past holds, how she “met” Cal. But I love the way he helps her figure out how to open up.
The heartache of chapter 43 but then the sweetness at the end of it?
The conversation at dinner between Klein, Shep, and Sawyer had me absolutely rolling with laughter! And the revelation of one of their guys 😳🤯 but I can totally see it! Now I can’t wait to read his story!
Holy sh!t! That bonus epilogue was one of the sweetest, hottest, and funnest chapters I have EVER READ! Each time I think Jackie Walker has outdone herself, she proves me wrong!
🍰 For a moment, I envy him, wishing my cup of f***s was empty. It used to be, and it was easier to live with myself that way. But I have f***s now. Too many f***s to give.”
🥧 “Prove it. Make me believe you. Earn me.”
🍰 “Oh, motherplucking chicken biscuits!”
🥧 “Yes. I want more from you, tiger. You need to be p^nished. You haven’t earned my fingers f***ing your wet p***y yet. You haven’t earned my tongue on your cl*t or my c*** in your tight h0l3. Have you?”
🍰 “He was but mere moments from frosting my lady cake.”
🥧 “I’m not sure if you’re being a good girl or a dirty girl. Sucking your ar0us@l off my fingers seems like something a dirty girl would do, but I told you to do it, and you obeyed instantly like a good girl.”
🍰 Her fingertips, glistening with her ar0us@l, skim along my lips. “Open for your dirty girl, Cal.”
🥧 “That’s my perfect f***ing girl.”

Rival Hero is Jackie Walker's 4th installment in her Redleg Security series.
Former Army Ranger Cal Klein (yes, you read that right) falls hard after an unplanned, unforgettable one night stand with savvy, sultry, self-assured Mia.
What he doesn't know is that she's competing for the same job at Redleg Security that he desperately needs...a job that allows him to stay close to home and care for a loved one.
What she doesn't know is just how much that one night will change everything, turning her trust issues on their proverbial ear, allowing her to open herself up to love and a different way of relating.
Forced to work together, Mia undertakes to overcome her ingrained training and past behavior patterns to earn Cal's trust, while Cal struggles with the magnetic pull he has toward the one person who has broken it and may never earn it back.
There is everything to love about Rival Hero. This enemies to lovers after a one night stand, workplace romance has ALL the banter... ALL the laugh out loud moments... ALL the heartbreaking and heartwarming scenes... ALL the suspense and intrigue... ALL the wicked hot steamy scenes... ALL the found family.
The dual narration audio performed by the inestimable Erin Mallon and the incomparable Jason Clarke is perfection.
Both voice actors bring Mia and Cal to life, injecting humor, heart, and heat into the characters they portray. Their performances of a large cast of supporting characters are masterful.
I immediately added Jackie Walker's entire backlog to my wishlist after listening, and I look forward to future installments. Bravo, Ms. Walker... I am a fan for life!
There is everything to love about Rival Hero...

Wow book to me

What an AMAZINGLY HOT book! You will need a cold shower while reading this one. The main hero & heroine in the story have a scorching chemistry. The men & women talk dirty, enjoy giving & receiving spankings, there are open conversations involving light BDSM, some tears & even humor making this book a must read. There are different ways to express consentual physical attraction & not everyone is vanilla in sexual tastes but the topics are dealt with in a matter of fact tone encouraging questions with straight forward factual answers. There are other wonderful characters involved in the book that add the basis of their stories that make up the other books in the series and adding layers of depth to the story.
I purchased this in audio & the narrators were excellent at bringing the characters to life.
This story tastefull & truthfully involves the subjects of human trafficking and Early Onset Alzheimer's.
Thank you Jackie Walker for your book.

Klein is former Special OPs turned security/bodyguard and IT for Redleg Security. Klein is eternally optimistic and always has a smile. He is the dutiful son who watches over his mother who suffers from dementia. Despite his “vanilla” vibes it turns out Klein is a cinnamon roll with a touch of dominant.
Mia is former CIA who is looking for a more stable job so that she might be in a position to reconnect with her estranged family without the threat of harm coming to them. As a result of past trauma, Mia has her heart locked up tight and does not trust easily. She has what she calls her “inner pimp” that she blames for her compulsive need to know everything and dig up personal information.
Klein is stunned when the woman he spent an unforgettable one-night stand with turns out to be the person who got the promotion he was so desperately relying on.
While Klein is filled with feelings of anger, and betrayal when he realizes that Mia had dug into his background and orchestrated their supposed initial “chance” meeting, he also cannot ignore his overwhelming pull toward Mia. Feeling the same undeniable chemistry with Klein, Mia is determined to repair the damage she has done. When she expresses her desire to prove herself to him, Klein challenges Mia to “earn” him.
At the heart of the story is the question of whether Mia can in fact earn the trust of Klein and also learn to open her heart to the possibility of love and whether Klein can trust that she has truly changed and allow himself to open up to her.
I have high expectations when it comes to a new book by Jackie Walker and this one did not disappoint. The story kept my attention throughout with its humor, steam, and touch of danger and mystery. The author handled the sensitive topics well. As an added bonus there were glimpses into Tomer’s story which left me anticipating the next book. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a captivating story and a hard-earned HEA.
🎧AUDIOBOOK🎧
Having read the book I was skeptical that the audio would be able to live up to the book and accurately convey the humor, vulnerability, and steam. Well, I was proven wrong. Jason Clarke and Erin Mallon were masterful as Klein and Mia doing these scenes and the entire story justice. They succeeded in bringing these characters to life and conveying the essence of their personalities.
I highly recommend you read and listen!!
Do yourself a favor and read and/or listen today!!
