Home is where her heart is
When Presley Christensen returns to Whiskey Creek with her little boy after two years away, she has completely changed her life. She's made peace with her past and overcome the negative behavior that resulted from her difficult childhood. Now she's back in the small town that was the closest thing to "home" she ever knew—the town where she can be with the sister who's her only family.
There's just one catch. Aaron Amos still lives in Whiskey Creek, at least until he moves to Reno to open a branch of the Amos brothers' auto body shop. And no matter how hard she's tried, Presley hasn't been able to get over him. Seeing him again makes the longing so much worse. But she hopes she can get through the next few months, because she can't fall back into his arms…or his bed. She's come too far to backslide now. And there's a secret she's been guarding—a secret she'll do anything to protect.





Let me start this review off by saying that this is the 2nd book that I’ve read by Brenda Novak, so you may just take this with a grain of salt. I’ve experienced mixed emotions with Come Home To Me. Meaning that although Presley and Aaron got there HEA, the ending left a lot to be desired. If there was a epilogue at the end showing them down the road 6 months later, or during/after their wedding would have wrapped it up nicely for me.

Both characters overcame a lot in the 2 years they were apart, and I recognize and appreciate that, but the back and forth of how Presley sees herself became exhausting. As well as how everyone was determine not to see how Aaron has changed and to keep him away from Presley. I don’t agree with how Presley and her sister handled the big secret that she is keeping from Aaron, and he was very justified in his anger when he found out. Presley’s reason were purely based on her selfishness and insecurities. Then the scheme that her sister got both Aaron and Presley involved in will most definitely blow up in their faces later. 

Other than those points Come Home To Me was a good story, and very well written. It was a very touching love story about seizing your second chance when it’s given to you. I recommend this book for readers who enjoy love stories.
