Mayra Statham writes the best books, and Already Home doesn’t disappoint! I absolutely loved Jason and Rocio’s chemistry and am a HUGE fan of second chance romances. Well done, Mayra. I can’t wait to see what you write next!
Can Jason be any hotter? Yes, when he starts to Row your Boat!
Loved this book the first time round when it was part of The Meat Market Anthology, love this extended version even more!!
Jason and Rocio have been best friends for ever, both afraid to admit to each other how they really feel. Rocio decides as she reaches a milestone birthday, that it’s time to tell him. No matter what.
When Jason is faced with the possibility of losing Rocio, he will stop at nothing to ensure she ends up his!
Heart melted!!
4 Meaty Stars!!!
This is another quick read from Mayra Statham. Already Home was originally published in The Meat Market Anthology and was a tad bit shorter. I feel theres more closure in this version then the first one.
Rocia has loved Jason for years. But, he’s put her in the friend zone along time ago. Rocia wishes he’d see her as more. She’s getting ready to turn 40 and she’s tired of the same old thing. Rocia knows there’s another side to Jason’s Meat Market and she’s going to place an order off the “special menu” and then she’s moving and starting new. But, she’s gotta ask Jason first.
Jason is in love with Rocia. They’ve been friends forever. When Jason inherited The Meat Market there was so much to do to get it right. In order to make it right he needed money. Him and his friends opened another menu. An after hours menu. Jason was on it but as a companion and nothing more. When Rocia comes to him telling him she wants to place an order and then she’s moving, everything in him flips. He can’t loose her. Jason tells her he’ll place her order and pay for it. What she doesn’t know is it’ll be him picking her up and he’ll put his feelings out there. He’s just hoping the feelings are mutual.
This is your friends-to-lovers book and fast paced. You’ll read in a few hours. I just wish it was a full length. But, had no real complaints.
Ok, so at first I wasn’t to sure how I was going to feel about this story, especially with Jason’s past/present activities. Once I got past that and realized people do what they feel they have to to survive I really started to enjoy it. I mean who doesn’t love a good friends to lovers story? I sure do and don’t even get me started on the ending…Ahhhh!!! Love them. The perfect HEA. Mayra Statham definitely knows how to write a short story.
Happy Reading
This was an amazing Story. It was Quick, Easy and Just what I needed. Mayra Statham has never failed when it come to Awesomly hit Alpha’s and Sassy Smart Heroines.
We met Jason and Rocio in the Meat Market Anthology so is just such a fantastic idea to give us more, as this is a longer very of the story from there.
Grab this book. We all need Easy, Fluffy and quick.
Enjoy!!!!

I first read this story in Meat Market and I’m happy they got more to their story.
Jason and Rocio have been friends for years. The timing was always off. They never spoke of their desire for each other. Row gets up the nerve to ask Jason about a “Meat Market Special” (although the meat market is now closed). Will Jason have what Row really wants? Will they finally get their happily ever after? A great story with a sweet ending.
Already Home is a fun, steamy, short read. I’ll admit, I would love to see this as a full length novel with a little bit of a build up but it did not disappoint as a short.
Jason and Rocio have been best friends for years and their feelings for one another run deeper than they have ever been willing to admit.
Already home
Loved this story. Immediately loved the characters. So great. Wish it was longer. Can’t get enough of Mayras books. 5 stars. A sweet love story
Ohhh holy hotness! What a beautiful story of best friends to lovers. Jason and Rocio are finally giving into their feelings and what a yummy ride they take. This is a fast paced story and one where you won’t stop until you are finished. I love everything that Mayra Statham writes and this one is no different. Highly recommended.
A beautiful friendship to love story. I loved the quick pace and the writing style. This book held me from page one. I will be reading more of this author.
FINALLY!!! Aw this read did my heart so good and this author is one of my favorites for a good old down home read. Her characters always grab your heart. Her reads are mostly sweet reads with steam and Jason and Rocio fit right in. I loved them and my heart ached for the way things ere for them. Never the right time. But it’s finally their turn and it’s fun, and it’s sexy, and it just makes your heart feel good.
Love this author. Love her sweet and easy style. Love her characters that could be your neighbor. I loved the Meat Market Anthology and this extended edition where theses two get their hea.
