When You Make It Home
by Claire Ashby
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 12, 2014
Meg Michaels, a bookstore owner, has already walked away from two cheating exes. She’s learned her lesson and has her mind set on success—until she gets knocked up. Embarrassed and unwilling to discuss her situation with friends and family, she wears layers to hide the pregnancy.
When Meg gets sick at a party, she’s mortified. Even worse, Theo Taylor, the guest of honor, discovers her secret. Theo, an Army medic wounded in the war, agrees not to reveal her condition, and the two forge a bond of friendship that blossoms into love.
Theo is soon filling all of Meg’s late-night cravings—and not just the pregnancy-induced ones. But can their love overcome all the obstacles that stand between them and creating a happy family?
When you make it home was an amazing book! It is not your
typical girl meets boy, they have great sex and fall in love with a few ups and
downs. This book is more like how life
can be, not a fairy tale. Meg and Theo
are instantly drawn to one another but both have many problems of their own to
sort out. Theo deals with coming home a
wounded soldier and not fitting into his hometown routine anymore. While Meg is
hiding her pregnancy, which is the first thing Theo sees. They open up each other’s worlds and dive
deep into a relationship that seems to fit their lives, but then turns quickly
into love. I was expecting more sex, and
more ups and downs, but this book is more real life and it shows the honor of a
man who put his life on the line for the country then putting his life in her
hands. As you read through the book you
see how Theo loves Meg, but Meg seems distant and has family problems she deals
with. She is a very independent woman
and Theo lets her be that. He helps her
come to terms with her pregnancy and how to handle the questions of it
all. Meg and Theo are a story of true
love and togetherness. I give this book
a 4 star rating as it was a real life type scenario, and I found I can relate
to these characters as if they were friends of mine.
