Publisher's Summary

A triangle with a twist, Coming Home is the story of three good people caught up in an impossible situation.

Rob, a charismatic ex-fighter pilot severely disabled with MS, has been steadfastly cared for by his wife, Jan, for many years. Quite by accident one day, Terry, a young writer/postal carrier, enters their lives and turns it upside down.  

Injecting joy and turbulence into their quiet existence, Terry draws Rob and Jan into her lively circle of family and friends until the growing attachment between the two women begins to strain the bonds of love and loyalty, to Rob and each other. Contains mature themes.

Heart wrenching but beautiful

I love slow burning, longing romances. Some of the reviewers here say that this book is slow, I disagree. The characters are excellently developed and complex, making the romance between Jan and Terry very believable and incredibly sad.

Spoilers from here:
The only reason the story gets a 4/5 is because I really felt like the end was rushed. In the end Terry and Jan both agree that they cannot be together, but will remain friends both knowing that they are deeply in love. Rob suddenly dies one night and the pair spend three months as friends before finally sleeping together.

I felt that the characters deserved a little more of a romantic story line after Robs death. Instead it was fast forwarded straight to the love scene between the two and I didn't feel as though it was as organic as the rest of the book. Because of how long it took for the two to even realise they loved each other, I felt like the end deserved just as slow of a burn and development.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
