Finding A Hero (Baytown Heroes Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,494 ratings

He knew how hard it was to follow in his brother’s footsteps.

Joseph Newman may have followed in his older brother into the military and now into a law-enforcement career, but that’s where they were different. Wyatt was a police chief, serious, now married, and someone the community looked up to. Joseph enjoyed a beer with friends, loved a good joke, and didn’t mind playing the field. Until he met her… the shy woman who barely spoke. And something told him, she needed a hero. But was he the man for the job?

She knew how hard it was to break away from the past.

Shiloh Wallen had escaped the confines of the confines that had dictated her life for years. Now, she worked hard, took care of her niece, and was happy to have a job that afforded her the independence she craved. All she wanted was to feel normal but had no idea what that was. The smiles of the handsome Joseph always made her feel special even if she knew he gave them freely to everyone. But he wanted more and she wasn’t sure she had it in herself to give.

When her past comes back to haunt her, he wants to be the hero she needs. But maybe, she’ll also find that a hero lies inside of her, as well.

A Baytown Boys sub-series.
Keeping the waterways of the Eastern Shore of Virginia safe, follow along as they find love. Small town romantic suspense.

USA Today Bestselling Author, Award Winning, Amazon International Bestselling and All-Star author, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble Best Selling Author! I have always been an avid reader. In 2013 I started a blog to showcase wonderful writers and finally gave in to the characters in my head pleading for their story to be told. Thus, Emma's Home was created.

My first novel, Emma's Home became an Amazon Best Seller in 3 categories within the first month of publishing. Its success was followed by the rest of the Fairfield Series and then led into the Love's Series. Soon, other spin-off series came along and 8 of my books have made Amazon top 100 Bestselling books.

Gabe, from the Alvarez Security Series won Silver Medal and 5 Star Review by the 2016 Reader's Choice Awards.

Honor Love was an award winning novel from the 2016 Reader's Choice Awards.

Serial Love was an award finalist novel from the 2016 Reader's Choice Awards.

Coming Home was awarded the 5 Star Review by the 2017 Reader's Choice Awards.

Discover Love was awarded the 5 Star Review by the 2017 Reader's Choice Awards.

My books are filled with sweet and steamy romance, mystery, suspense, real-life characters and situations. My heroes are alphas, take-charge men who love the strong, independent women they fall in love with.

I worked as a counselor in a high school and was involved in education for 30 years. I have now retired and look forward to more time with family and writing!

I have been married to a wonderfully patient man for 40 years and have 2 adult, very supportive daughters.

When writing, my dog or one of my cats will usually be found in my lap!

I love to hear from readers, so please email me!

    I've never met a Baytown character that I didn't like. I would not hesitate to become friends with each and everyone. Maryann Jordan excels at small town romance and happily ever afters. Finding A hero reminds us that heroes come in all ages, shapes and sizes and they don't have to perform jaw dropping or dangerous deeds to be a hero. Sometimes it's just doing what's right or having the courage to stand up for your convictions or defending friend or classmate who's being billied. Baytown is made up of all types of heroes who, when danger comes calling, do what they do best. They work together to ensure that those endangered are protected and feel welcomed as part of their family.

    I flat out adored Shiloh and Joseph's love story. It was absolutely charming, and uplifting. Having both of their backstories really gave so much context to the way their relationship evolved. Joseph is charming, a protector and a man who values family. Doing the right thing comes naturally to him because he had great role models growing up. Shiloh is resilient, resourceful, determined and courageous. She takes the plans formulated by her dead husband, expands on them and implements them when a threat becomes all too real. Ending up in Baytown gives her and her niece, Rachel, a new lease on life. All it takes is one look at Shiloh and Joseph is hooked but she makes him work for her favor. He's definitely up for the job no matter how long it takes. He succeeds in winning her over and making Rachel feel both wanted and welcome in the new relationship. When the past comes calling, Joseph marshals law enforcement and along with quick think on Shiloh's part, the threat is neutralized.

    This is the story of Joseph and Shiloh and it was beautiful to see them come together. Shiloh had a hard life she live on a community with her family but after many bad things happen in there and she ends up losing of her loves ones except her niece she realize that to be able to keep her niece and herself safe she need it to escape so they run and end up in The Beautiful Baytown where she meets Joseph . Joseph had a hard time in life as well growing up on a loving family but with financial struggles and his speech problems as he was growing up things where not easy for him in school since he got teased and bully but he had a loving family and an older brother that he look up to who he always wanted it to be like so he followed his brother footsteps and when to the Bavy and then later one came back to his Beautiful Baytown where he meets Shiloh and he finally understand what his Father and Mother always told him then when he meet the women for him he will definitely know so he goes after the women of his dreams and he won’t stop at nothing into he convince her that she is the only one for him . Unfortunately Shiloh horrible past comes back to hunts her but this time she is not alone she has her own personal Hero in Joseph and he will not stop into all treats to Shiloh and her niece Rachel are eliminated because no one would ever harm the women he loves ever again

    Joseph and Shiloh. What a great couple. Joseph was the man that Shiloh needed. These two seem so different, yet their values are the same. I loved the kids in this story as well. Lots of action and great family dynamics

    Joseph and Shiloh is a story I ended up loving that I truly did not expect to. I have never been able to get into stories that anything to do with communities or cults. Shiloh and Rachel did not come across the same way that others have written them in the past. Watching the two of them welcome the change and flourish in their new lives was great to read. Joseph surprised me with how many layers there was to him and what he over came when he was younger. Having two children that got speech therapy when they were younger really hit home for me in this story. Watching the two of them really come together and be there true self with one another was a story that made me not want to put the book down. As always I loved that past couples and characters had a play in the story. I can't wait for the next book in this story.

    We return to Baytown for the second installment of Ms. Jordan's Baytown Heroes series. This book features Joseph who is Wyatt's younger brother. Joseph had his heart broken a long time ago and he closed himself off from finding love again, preferring one-night stands and no repeat performances. He watched as his brother and friends all had loving relationships, he was sure he didn't want. Enter Shiloh and her niece and all bets are off.

    This story will tug at your heartstrings and bring a tear or two to your eyes. Ms. Jordan creates wonderful female characters who have an inner strength to overcome the obstacles they face. These women find their heroes in the strong, loving men of Baytown. Ms. Jordan’s stories make me feel as though I am right there in Baytown with a front-row seat for all of the action, drama, and love she pours into her stories. I can't wait to go back to Baytown again.

    This is one of my favorite series. I love everything about Baytown, the American Legion connection and obviously the military. This is Joseph's story, we had already met him in earlier books, he is Wyatt's brother.
    Shiloh has a, we'll say different upbringing, but she arrives in Baytown with her neice Rachel to escape a cult like situation. They came from a small community that had limited technology so it was an adjustment.
    I loved this sweet story of Shiloh comes into her own. I loved how Joeeph didn't give up and just kept trying to get her to go out with him. I also loved reading about Rachel also getting acclimated to life in HS after home school. I thought that was a cool part of the story.
    I always enjoy Ms Jordan's attention to detail, making you feel a part of the story. I love how she brings the American Legion and the work they do in the communities.
    I also enjoy the intrigue part of the story. I am always wondering who's doing what to who and why. This was a fantastic story! Enjoy!

    As usual a very well written story. Started it yesterday &then had to fight my desire to stay up to finish the book.

    For some reason I found this story a little more emotional for me, but as I continued to read I found it to be a really, really good book.

    Thank you Maryann Jordan!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 18, 2022
    Joseph knew he was a protector and that true love was real, he’d seen it in his family and longed for it himself. Shiloh came from a totally different background, she’d been held back from living her life and when she and her niece Rachel, were threatened she reached deep inside to take all her courage and escape. She found herself with her niece in Baytown for the first time able to live as they wanted. Joseph recognised Shiloh was who he longed for pretty early but it took a while to convince her. Rachel was also learning to live with freedom and to make friends. Unfortunately Shiloh and Rachel’s past won’t lie down nor is life in Baytown perfect.
    Sometimes you have to be your own hero and Shiloh and Rachel both learn this.
    I loved this book, it is a great story with beautifully written characters, highly recommended.
