Beautiful, sweet and an extremely romantic and bliss filled story. Finding Home pulled at my heartstrings, championing for love, feeling distraught with the deceit and tragedy, cheering for hope to overcome all of life’s roadblocks.
Thank you Sutton for writing a very special and loving story. This couple encompasses the meaning of love while being brave and independent but also complete and whole when they are as one.
This story has renewed my faith in love conquering all.
“I love you Arlo. My soul loves your soul”
“ I love you Emi. You are my heart. My home.”

Finding Home is part of the Pinon Ridge series by Sutton Bishop. This was a new author for me, but I definitely look forward to reading more books by her. This was a small-town romance and I loved meeting the people of Pinon Ridge.
Emory had been hurt in the past and since then she sticks to her no-strings attached rule. Until she met Arlo, he somehow made it past the walls she had built around her heart. Arlo was intrigued by Emory from the beginning but knows he must win her trust. Can Emory let go of her fear and trust Arlo?
This was a heartbreaking and beautiful story. Emory and Arlo made the perfect couple, and I was cheering for them from the beginning. I loved how Arlo supported and understood Emory. He was in awe of her strength and talent while also full of encouragement for her. It was a beautiful book and I look forward to reading future books by the author.
I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It's a chilly October night, the day before Halloween. I got to the mailbox and there is a package inside. I haven't ordered anything that I can remember. I did not recognize the return address. All of these factors have left me pretty confused.
I slice open the package and much to my surprise it was a copy of Finding Home! I was absolutely shocked. I had joined the Goodreads giveaway for the book so I went to scour my email for a notification that I had won. I had no such email. I can only assume the author had chosen to send out the copy on their own. Not only that but the book was signed and included bookmarks and had an ARC sticker on the cover!
I could not contain my excitement!! I was supposed to be cooking pumpkin seeds with my husband from our recently carved jack-o-lanterns, however I was so focused on the book and researching how it showed up at the house and talking about it excitedly that I didn't even realize he finished washing the seeds, seasoning them, and cooking them before I noticed!
Thank you so much to Sutton Bishop for sending me this book! I wish I could articulate how much I appreciate it and how much it means to me. I will always prize my copy and it will be displayed on my bookshelf with pride!
As for the actual review:
The first thing I want to talk about is more on the con side, which is the tone. I struggled with it. It seemed to be all over the place. At first the book was light and fun with just a girl and her friends and maybe a new guy. Then for the next bit it was spicy, which surprised me btw, haha, I couldn't tell from the cover. Those things took up about the first 1/3rd of the book. The next third was all fighting and angst and tragedy. Then the last third was accidents, injury, and anger. It was all over the board.
For some pros!
I love her cat Rad! My cat Moog sits with me while I read and Rad reminds me a lot of him. That's it, I just love her cat!
I am so jealous of Emory's friend group. That is something I have always wanted and reading her story let me share them for a while
Also, what's the deal with the sour cream donuts? That just doesn't sound good haha
There were endless descriptions of food in the story. Not necessarily a pro or con, but based on the note at the end it seems that this is somewhat of a staple in Bishop's writing.
These people are all obsessed with coffee! No shade because I am also obsessed. But damn. This brings it to a whole new level! These characters can't do anything without a cup of coffee in hand! Multiple cups (again, same) that they are constantly talking about to each other! I need a coffee buddy from Pinon Ridge because I need someone to share this addiction with and they all are perfect for the job!

Finding Home by Sutton Bishop
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
My first book by Sutton Bishop and I’m hooked!
Honestly, the beginning of this story was too good to be true. I kept thinking, there is no way this continues this way. Then, the other shoe dropped.
This book had me on an emotional rollercoaster the entire second half. I was angry for both Emory and Arlo. I wanted to cry for them multiple times. My heart was ripped apart.
I loved this story so much. I was truly sad it was over. I hope to revisit Emory and Arlo again in the future!

Emory is powerful and genuine. Even in fits of anger, she's still so down to earth and open with how she's feeling. Being in her head was a journey all in itself, the best kind. Between her and Arlo narrating, their connection was told perfectly. Their attraction to each other was STEAMY
