Home for Always

Ketley Allison

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

He will sacrifice everything he's gained ... if it means he can win her back. I never thought I’d see the boy who broke my heart again, especially the day after I poured hot coffeeover his cocky grin and threw him in the trash. I wish I’d scalded his actual face. Sadly, it was just his picture in a tabloid magazine. Notorious bachelor Stone Williams shouldn’t even qualify as an after-thought. Until he bursts into the childhood home he left behind—where I’m currently staying. A decade is a long time to be away from someone you once thought you knew better than you knew yourself. I’ve given up my dreams to stay in our small town as a nurse, while he didn’t just surpass his dreams—he exploded them into the atmosphere like fireworks. Stone makes it clear he hasn’t returned to rekindle our relationship and I couldn’t agree more. He’s here for his mother, a woman I care for, and she doesn’t have much time before her illness takes over. When her dying wish is for Stone and me to live together and help her in her final days, I can’t say no. I could have fought harder against her demands that Stone and I both stay in the same house to help her in her final days. And I definitely could have argued against sharing a bedroom. But when our grudges turn into explosive lust, we begin losing sight of why we hate each other. I've rewritten my dreams once to remove Stone Williams. He can't expect me to rewrite them again. ... until an unexpected tragedy forces us to rewrite our reality. Home for Always is a steamy, angst-filled emotional romance with a happy ending and is a complete standalone.

    Stone Williams left home and never looked back. Suddenly, he's forced to return due to his mother's health and the need to stay under the radar thanks to some bad publicity he's found himself the subject of. When he crashes back into town, he runs smack into his past when he discovers that Noa, his former girlfriend, is now the person who is his mother's live in nurse.

    They are both clear that they are here to make sure that his mother is well cared for. There will be no rekindling of the relationship that they had before. But sharing a bedroom and spending time together shows that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Can they find their way past the pain of the past to a brighter future or is there just too much hurt to try again?

    I loved the character development, especially for Stone in this story. While you first see him as his Hollywood persona, it soon becomes clear that there is much more to him that that. He is brash, yes, but he also has a deep love and commitment to his mother. Noa is such a caretaker, even when it hurts her own feelings. She is warm and giving and it's lovely when you finally see Stone giving that back to her as well.
