When You Make It Home By Claire Ashby

When You Make It Home by Claire Ashby
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ok this one was an emotional roller coaster where you just couldn't help but love some characters and punch others.

- The heroine didn't give a good first impression, and for a while in the book I didn't like her much, since at first she was hiding the fact she was pregnant like she was ashamed of her baby and was more worried about the change that's happening to her body, then the keeping secrets part, she hates when people do it but she just justifies it when it's her. And let's not get me started on her mom, the birth one that is, I was siding with the brother since the beginning, it was understandable how she was curious about her mom, but creating a fantasy wold where her mom was a saint that could do no wrong, well THAT was just wrong.

- I liked the hero from moment one, he was the typical disfigured soldier coming back from the war not fitting in, fighting his demons and the pity he receives from the people around him, no matter the century or the country this kind is always there, always suffering but eventually finding people to love and be loved by them unconditionally amputations and scaring included, and tht's what the heroine was for the hero.

- The sparks were there between the couple since day one, but it was obvious that both sides were fighting it, I liked how the hero used the baby and he needs space as an excuse for him to move in with the heroine.

- I liked how assertive the heroine was with the heroine.

- I liked all their scenes together when they were shopping with the baby or him going with her t her doctor's appointments or when he feels the baby kicking. It was obvious he loved that baby, and wished he was her father, since he got pissed and punch the real one the first second he saw him.

- Kinda hated the hero nearing the end when he left and didn't contact her.

- Loved the ending, wished there was an epilogue

Overall, *thumps up*
