Army ranger, Aiden Marshall has finally returned home from
Afghanistan, to the small town of Sweet, Texas. Not much has
changed since he left over two years ago - friendly
neighbours, his brother Ben, and Paige Walker the love of
his
life, are all there waiting for him. The only person who
appears to be different is Aiden himself. Having lost his
two
best friends to the war and forced to leave behind his other
best friend, Aiden is not the same man who left.
Tortured by
what he has witnessed and suffering from survivor guilt,
Aiden
believes he does not deserve happiness, and is determined to
push Paige away, so she can find someone who truly deserves
her. But Paige is not so easily dissuaded. Paige believes
that
she and Aiden are destined to be together, and is willing to
wait for him to adjust to his new life back at home,
although
she has some plans to nudge him along!
With community spirit,
a woman who understands and loves him, and an incredible
surprise, can Aiden find a way through the darkness to love
and happiness?
HOME SWEET HOME by Candis Terry is a beautifully short tale
of
love in all of its forms. Believing he has failed his
friends,
Aiden is confused and lost about his future. Paige is a
wonderful character who understands the man that she loves,
inside and out. Caring, feisty and passionate, Paige is
everything he needs, and I loved the fact that she doesn't
pressure Aiden, but rather gives him the space that he
needs,
hoping he will come back to her.
HOME SWEET HOME by Candis
Terry is a lovely romance that put me in a good mood for the
rest of the day.
