REVIEW - Finding Home by Ann Vaughn

Colt Harris wasn't on the hunt for love when he looked up from his lunch and spotted Sarah. As cliched as it was, time stood still - all he could see was her. Hearing her laugh sealed his fate; he knew his life was about to change.

Sarah Sauter was used to being alone. She lost her parents when she was eighteen and after a really bad love affair, had given up on ever finding love. Since then, her life had been all about simply surviving. Little did she know that when she went to lunch with her co-workers, she would have a chance encounter with a man who would literally turn her world upside down.

When Colt steps into Sarah's life, he finds that things with her aren't exactly as they appear to be. Secrets hidden deep in her past begin to surface, dropping Colt and Sarah in the middle of a nearly twenty-seven year old mystery. It will take all of Colt's strength, patience and resolve Finding Home for Sarah.

I was given an ARC, from the author, in return for an honest review.

I have to say that this book was a pleasure to read. Right from page one, I was hooked. Colt is downright hot (as in HOT!) As soon as he sees Sarah he is a goner. Sarah is having lunch with colleagues, who are all much older than her, and they point out to her that he is checking her out. Sarah, is quite naive as a result of her extremely sheltered upbringing, so dismisses what they are saying. However, later that afternoon, Colt has flowers delivered to her. This gets her attention and so begins the start of their romance.

Sarah was adopted as a child and her parents both passed away several years before, within months of each other. As a result, Sarah has been on her own most of her adult life. As a child her parents were exceptionally over protective, which Sarah did not question. Even after they died, she didn't think too much about her childhood or why things were the way they were. Colt on the other hand, left a career in the Military to be by his sister's side after her husband passed away. He moved next door to her to help her look after his nieces and he is close with his parents also.

As her relationship with Colt develops, she begins to find her world turned completely on it's head on many levels. Colt unwittingly opens up a long held secret, thus putting Sarah's life in danger.

This is a well written book, with a really enjoyable and believable storyline. Both Colt and Sarah have believable actions and reactions to situations as the story develops.

If you haven't already read Ann's first novel, Long Way Home, I would highly recommend reading this one also. The main characters from this book make cameo appearances in this one. I'm looking forward to reading more from Ann in the future and would have no hesitation to recommend any of her books to anyone.
