The Way Home series by Kim Mills


Fight for Home, 5 stars

This story was raw, real, and laced with pain. It had hurt, despair, and strength. All of those overlayed everything, but our characters also had joy, hope, and happiness, but they didn’t focus on those, and that became what tripped them up. There were reasons, real reasons, for every emotion they felt, and at the core of it all was the love they had for each other. That bound them together when everything spiralled apart. That kept them coming back together when they only wanted to stay away. That is what caused them to stop and assess what was happening, over what they were seeing, and feeling, and solidified their commitment to each other


Run From Home, 5 stars

What I truly liked about this story is how it didn’t mask the effects of PTSD, and the different experiences it can develop from, and the many forms it can take. I loved how the focus wasn’t on fixing, but healing, and recognizing limitations and support needed. The need for found family when circumstances find you isolated, and developing instincts to reach out when struggling. The relationship between our couple seems straightforward, until the surfaces are scratched. That they have a devil-may-care attitude and ready smiles hiding the murkiness swirling beneath. Twiz and Erika ended up together by chance, but it was the draw they couldn’t ignore that kept them coming back together again, and again, and finally, forever <3


Broken Home, 5 stars

Two broken people, broken by life and circumstances, full of guilt and pain, learn to heal. These two are at different points in their lives, but they line up as each others friend so easily. The time and space they need make them see that they connect on more than a friendly level. They still trip themselves up occasionally, but they learn to listen to each other, and those around them, to stay on track. Beautifully broken, never fully healed, but stronger than ever, these two build a life together that is perfect for them <3
