About this listen

When you're a teenager, life is usually simple and carefree. You could never imagine the evil that lurks in the shadows, waiting for a chance to steal your innocence.

However, for Willow, that evil becomes a stark reality when she's abducted while walking home one night after spending the day with her best friends.

For fifteen long years, Willow finds herself in the clutches of a sinister cult, her life dictated by the whims of those who seek to control and manipulate her.

At the same moment that she tries to break free, she is finally saved, her life spared from what she considers a fate worse than death.

To reclaim the life she lost, she returns to her hometown, and the friends who never forgot her. But her life's not instantly filled with sunflowers. A lot has happened during the time she was gone, and people have changed, including her.

Willow's time in captivity has left scars on both her body and soul. She wants to heal and move forward with her life. But will her past stay in her past? Has evil followed her home? Or was it there all along?

Home Sweet Home is a slow-burn reverse harem why-choose romance, meaning the main character will end up with more than one love interest by the end of the story. For mature listeners.

I binged this audiobook in a day. Maree Rose delivers a compelling trauma-to-healing story, and Willow’s fight to reclaim her life after years of abuse kept me listening.

Some elements moved a little too fast for me. Willow’s recovery and jump into relationships and intimacy felt unrealistically quick given her past. With four MMCs, the romance also felt underdeveloped. Each man essentially gets one intimate scene, which made the relationships feel a bit like everyone politely taking turns rather than building real depth. Easton stood out as the strongest connection and easily my favourite, while Wyatt’s redemption arc felt rushed.

The “unknown” POV chapters added perspective, but labeling them as unknown felt unnecessary since it was obvious who it was almost immediately. The twist with the bitchy Barbies,”however, was brilliant and added a great layer of drama to the story.

On the audio side, Gideon Frost is masterful. His male voices are distinct and engaging, and he really elevates the listening experience. Ri Paige’s narration wasn’t my personal favourite, though the dual narration still works overall (though duet narration would have made this even better).

Despite some pacing and relationship development issues, this was an emotional, bingeable listen for anyone who enjoys trauma-recovery romances.
