Book Description:
Meg Michaels, a bookstore owner, has already walked away from two cheating exes. She’s learned her lesson and has her mind set on success—until she gets knocked up. Embarrassed and unwilling to discuss her situation with friends and family, she wears layers to hide the pregnancy.
When Meg gets sick at a party, she’s mortified. Even worse, Theo Taylor, the guest of honor, discovers her secret. Theo, an Army medic wounded in the war, agrees not to reveal her condition, and the two forge a bond of friendship that blossoms into love.
Theo is soon filling all of Meg’s late-night cravings—and not just the pregnancy-induced ones. But can their love overcome all the obstacles that stand between them and creating a happy family?
When You Make It Home
by Claire Ashby follows Meg Michaels, bookstore owner as she struggles through
the trials and tribulations of relationships, friendships and being pregnant
and alone. I’ve got to say that I pretty much love pregnancy stories because
fictional babies are adorable. But what I got with this novel was so much more!
I absolutely love Ashby’s style of writing and the way she
brings her characters to life. It doesn’t take too long for the reader to find
out that Meg is pregnant, something she struggles with quite a bit. She is also
determined to hide the pregnancy from just about everyone, except of course her
best friend who also happens to be pregnant.
I really loved getting to know these characters and seeing
the relationships grow. I also absolutely adored Theo! I enjoyed how realistic
the situation was and how things with him weren’t all happy go lucky all the
time, but there was definitely a very large realness to the situation and how
it played out.
I think that the friendship and relationship really worked
between Meg and Theo because they were both sort of damaged in a way, Theo from
the war and Meg emotionally from her bad relationships. Things get rocky for
them and they wind up deciding to fix their issues separately, which is
something they had to do in order to make things work.
I don’t want to give too much away about the story, but it
was seriously an awesome read. So carefully planned out and very well executed.
If you like romance stories and babies this is the story for you!
