Author Candis Terry has created a fabulous community in
her
Sweet Texas novels. Sweet is a small town filled with lots
of real life drama, quirky and loveable characters, and
sexy heroes and their heroines. The hero of Home Sweet
Home
is Army Ranger Lieutenant Aiden Marshall who has returned
home to Texas a changed man. He has experienced first hand
the nightmare of war, watched his two childhood friends
die
in an explosion and left his beloved dog in Afghanistan.
Suffering from survivor's guilt, he is a man without hope.
Paige Walker has waited patiently for Aiden, her high
school sweetheart, to return home. Ms Terry has created a
strong, endearing heroine in this story. Paige knows what
she wants. And that's Aiden. While Aiden has been serving
in Afghanistan, Paige has started her own accounting
business, bought a home and started an apple orchard.
Paige
steadfastly believes that she and Aiden can overcome
anything. She believes in them. Paige understand that
Aiden
needs to come to terms with his many losses before he can
move.
I loved the chemistry between our hero and heroine and
that
they had been faithful to each other while Aiden served in
the military. What they shared was special to both of
them.
Home Sweet Home is a compassionate powerful story of a
couple finding their way home. I loved that the towns
people of Sweet were able to show their hometown hero how
much his service in the Army meant to them. It was very
heartwarming. The resolution was beautifully written--
just
perfect for this couple and quite emotional.
HOME SWEET HOME can be read as a stand alone and its a
perfect
way to spend a summer afternoon!
