Please Do Not Come Home to Me - Come Home to Me: Review

dear readers,

This blog post was really hard for me to write.  In fact, it took me a few days after reading the book to even sit down to rate it.

(I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review).  


COME HOME TO ME 
(Book 6: WHISKEY CREEK)
written by Brenda Novak
genre: contemporary romance, fiction 

3 STARS

Presley Christensen has returned to Whiskey Creek with her 18-month old son, Wyatt.  Presley and her sister, Cheyenne, try and keep Wyatt away from Aaron as he might suspect Wyatt is really his son. As she opens a new business and sets up a home for her and her son she is pursued by Riley, a well-respected man wanting a relationship, and Aaron, her ex, who is not sure what he wants in the future but wants Presley right now. But will his feelings change when he discovers the truth about Wyatt? And, how will this secret affect Cheyenne and her husband, Dylan who is Aaron's brother and also in the dark?

As you know I am a big fan of Brenda Novak's books and love the Whiskey Creek series so it killed me to rate it only three stars.  I rounded up from 2.5 just because of Novak's writing skills and that I was able to get through the book.  What didn't work was that Cheyenne, a heroine from a earlier book had a personality transplant for the worse.  Without giving away any plot details I found that Cheyenne's decisions in this novel were not only bad but ridiculous.  The baby issues this novel were straight from daytime television and no one seemed to have any common sense.

The ending of a Whiskey Creek novel usually leaves me counting down to the next book and this time I am actually okay with waiting and do not know if I will put it as a priority read.  I feel so bad for Dylan, Cheyenne's husband, that I almost hope there will be a future novel where he will find a woman who deserves that love he has.  I am also not looking forward to Eve finding love as she also seems step on another woman's heart to try and get a man.  And, the storyline with Dylan's father makes me cringe for the Amos boys.

I will still continue with the next book in Whiskey Creek because I do want to see where Novak takes us next.

love,
