"Home" is a small town romance between a sheriff and a woman returning home after being gone for 17 years. The sheriff, Natalie, and Sarah shared a kiss in high school and haven't spoke since Sarah left, shortly after the kiss. They run into each other almost as soon as Sarah returns to town and they are both instantly consumed with the other. Being in a small town, they continue to run into each other at convenient times and then are set up on some dates by meddling family members.
Bryant states in the beginning this started as a novella and unfortunately it continued to feel that way through the whole story. She never goes into much depth on their personalities or past relationship. Natalie and Sarah seem to think about the kiss quite a bit but it never explained the seemingly insta-love that happened. They weren't in a relationship in high school, it doesn't even sound like they were friends. They were just two people who happened to make out at a party one time. There wasn't enough of a basis to the relationship so I just didn't understand why it was anything more than instant attraction.
It wasn't all bad by any means, there are some very cute moments with Sarah's daughter and a wandering dog. I just wished the story and the characters had been fleshed out more. I liked the story well enough but I feel I could've loved it so it's a bit disappointing.
If you're looking for a quick, angst/drama free story than you'll surely find it in this one.
