Returning Home by Alexa Milne


You can never escape from yourself.

When Darach McNaughton returns to his home town, the one thing he isn’t looking for is love. But when he meets the mysterious Brice Drummond, his investigative instinct isn’t the only thing aroused.

After a gang beats Brice Drummond, leaves him for dead, and needing to use a wheelchair, he ends up in a witness protection program. His only company is a beautiful cat aptly named Princess. He creates stunning pieces of art, but allows no one into his life—until a handsome policeman appears out of nowhere.

On a snowy night, Darach McNaughton returns a crying cat to its owner and is immediately curious about the beautiful man with the tattoos. Bit by bit, Darach uncovers the shocking truth about Brice’s history. Can he get past what he discovers? Can Brice let someone into his life? Or will the past catch up with them both and tear their fledgling love apart?

Reader advisory: Dubious consent. Recollections of physical abuse, emotional/mental abuse, torture and drug abuse. Profanity.

Angie☆☆☆
I am on the fence with how I feel about this book. In some aspects, I really liked it, but in others not so much. I wanted to see more of Brice and Darach together and not the weeks and months in between with them not talking. The few sex scenes were good, I could always use more of those, but that is just my preference. I realize I was reading an ARC, however, I was missing a vital chapter in the book which was frustrating. I had two chapters that were duplicated instead. I was also devastated when Darach’s friend and ex-boyfriend’s current husband was involved in the climax of the plot and I didn’t think that was really necessary for him to be involved in, at least not the outcome, it just didn’t fit for me. It had a lot of potential but didn’t hit the mark for me.
