When You're Home by Abby Millsaps
4.0
emotional hopeful tense medium-paced

I got this one as an ARC through Book Sirens, and I don’t regret it one bit. Tori and Rhett, a pair that have had chemistry since they dated in high school, have an agreement- they can be together as FWB, but only when he’s home from college. Tori has reservations that do not let her love openly, and as such, she can only handle being with Rhett if she’s essentially the other woman. I found the idea that Rhett was voluntarily cheating to be a bit irksome, but it’s also hard to stay mad as you get to know the characters. While I won’t spoil it, I will say that Tori has issues; she isn’t just someone with a home wrecker fetish or anything like that (I know I was iffy when I initially found out there was a girlfriend). Things definitely get steamy every time they get together; this one is about 80% storyline, 20% smut. Overall, I’d recommend this one if you’re okay with cliffhangers (as there is a book two).
