I received an ARC of this book from the author when I was fortunate enough to participate in the blog tour for it earlier in December.

Bring Me Home is the first romance novel I’ve read, and I felt like it was an excellent introduction to the genre. Kailey and Cole are best friends that moved away from each other when they were in high school and end up reuniting in college and eventually becoming lovers. Even though I found their story to be predictable, I found it super cute and I enjoyed watching them realizing that they both had feelings for each other.

I enjoyed the characters in this book. I found Kailey to be relatable, especially with her social anxiety and her love of cats and other animals. I thought that Cole was a charming and perfect gentleman, even if he did overuse the word sweetheart. I also liked Kailey’s roommate Riley and her girlfriend Annabeth, and I thought they were great friends to Kailey.

I found this book to be fast paced, which was nice because I was able to read it in two sittings. This book didn’t drag, and I found myself wanting to keep reading so I could find out what happened next. I also liked that this book was realistic; the characters and the plot felt real, and nothing seemed too far-fetched.
