Before Candis Terry's wild Wilder brothers met their matches, a soldier gets a homecoming in Sweet, Texas
He's given up …
Army Ranger Lieutenant Aiden Marshall fought in some of the most hellish corners on earth and survived. Those closest to him, did not. When he returns home to Sweet, Texas, he believes he's broken and has lost everything—including his soul. The only fair thing he can do to the woman who's patiently waited for him to come home is tell her to move on with her life—without him.
… but she never will
Sassy waitress Paige Walker has no intention of walking away from the man of her dreams. He gave his all for his country and served with honor. Now it's time to pull him from the darkness and give him hope. With a heap of love, the help of the entire town, and a tail-wagging companion, Paige makes sure her hero knows there's no place like home sweet home.
***About Candis Terry***
Candis Terry was born and raised near the sunny beaches of Southern California and now makes her home on an Idaho farm. She’s experienced life in such diverse ways as working in a Hollywood recording studio to scooping up road apples left by her daughter’s rodeo queening horse to working as a graphic designer. Only one thing has remained constant: Candis’ passion for writing stories about relationships, the push and pull in the search for love, and the security one finds in their own happily ever after. Though her stories are set in small towns, Candis’ wish is to give each of her characters a great big memorable love story rich with quirky characters, tons of fun, and a happy ending.
***Our Thoughts***
Kassiah: I love small town romances and this one came at the perfect time for me. After Aiden comes back from the war, he’s broken inside and decides his long-time love, Paige, would be better off without him. Paige isn’t having it and sets out to remind Aiden why there’s no one else for her.
I loved Paige and how determined she was to make Aiden see how much she (and their whole town) loved and supported him.
“You may have given up on you. But I never will.”
There were definite times that Aiden drove me crazy and I wanted him to wake up, but I feel like that was very realistic.
My issue with this story was that I needed more. I appreciate the quick novella that gives us insight into a character or couple, but Paige and Aiden deserved more! Home Sweet Home was a quick read with lovable characters and a town we should all want to live in.
