Stepping outside my usual reading comfort zone – always a rewarding experience -- I picked up a contemporary romance.
You’re My Home by Debbie Burns is the latest book in the A Rescue Me Novel series, love stories which include pet adoptions in the plot.
Riley Leighton fled her hometown after a devastating discovery about her parents and a humiliating senior prom. She has spent the last ten years hiding from her past, a past that includes Levi Duncan, her high school boyfriend, a man with whom she is still in love. Her mother’s cancer diagnosis brings her home. There, good things begin to happen for her, starting with a temporary marketing job at the animal shelter where she volunteered as a teen. This reignites her passion for caring for animals.
Levi has spent the last decade trying to forget Riley. Working as a commercial diver gave him focus, but an injury means he can’t dive anymore. When he learns from a friend that Riley is back, he, too, heads for home.
As the two spend time with each other, especially working with abandoned animals, they remember why they fell in love in the first place.
This is a quick read and a heartwarming story. If you like second chance romances and have ever wondered about that guy from high school, give this one a look!
