Home Sweet Home (Candis Terry)
3.5 stars
It's a novella so it doesn't have the same depth as the novels. Plus Aidan frustrated the hell out of me me -- and his reasons were so very cliche when it came to romance with themes like this one (war veteran with PTSD/emotional baggage).
BUT, Paige was a trooper of her own, I loved her determination. Added with two lovely dogs (even if they didn't get enough screen time), I found this prequel of Sweet, Texas series to be quite satisfactory. And I like that their story is now available as stand-alone format rather than part of an anthology.
PS: Per Candis Terry's website, all proceeds of this novella (it costs $1.99) will be donated to Animal Rescue. Always a good cause to buy a story, right?
