Finding Home is not a fast paced book, and that's OK.  It's a slow build between Chase and Jaden as they have a chance to get to know one another and, from that, take a look at themselves as well.  

Jaden is definitely a fish out of water - not just in Florida but with his brothers.  His city up-bringing with an overly-analytical scientist for a mom definitely didn't prepare him for the laid back lifestyle he finds in Serenity.  I loved the quirkiness of Jaden trying to fit in and his awkwardness, especially with his feelings towards Chase.  He quickly touched me and I was rooting for him to figure his stuff out.  

Chase has things a little more in hand.  Everything but his personal life.  It's not that he's afraid of commitment or his sexuality, but living in a small community definitely has its disadvantages  :)  A life that he loves doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't something missing and meeting Jaden brings that point home.  I love how Chase is supportive and understanding.  He can see past Jaden's neuroses and find him just as charming as I did, which made me love him even more.  

I only had a couple of issues with the book.  The main one was with the story because I really wish we'd spent some more time on Jaden getting to know his brothers.  It's there but that was a big part of why he went to Serenity and I felt it got glossed over for the romance with Chase.  Not that the romance isn't a big deal because it really helped Jaden come into himself and was very important for him.  I just wish that we'd gotten just a bit more with the brothers too.  

The other was a few word choices (and probably just a personal problem).  Giggle is just one of those words that doesn't work for me - don't care if you are a man or a woman, it makes the person seem vapid or silly.  I know it is a valid word choice but it ranks up there with simpering for me.  Dainty was also used somewhere and just struck me as a strange.  But it's all minor and may not even be a thing for someone else - like I said, personal problem.  

A discovery piece for Jaden as he works to figure out who he wants to be and what kind of life he wants for himself, Finding Home is a lovely read with characters you want to know and a small-town you want to visit.  It's sweet, and a little bit sexy too ;), but with almost no drama.  (Those three brothers definitely need a HEA of their own so I'm hoping to see more from Ms. Harding!)
