This book will be one of your favorite reads this year!
The story’s characters were so well written that I found myself channeling their emotions.. I know, sounds crazy but I was completely pissed and maybe a tad bit insane for a few days. My poor hubby didn’t know what was going on.
Kayleigh and Shane are full of fire. You feel all of the pain and anger. The desperation and betrayal pour off the pages. Prepare for one of the hottest book couples!
Even after reading this book my heart does not feel complete, my chest still aches, I feel anxious. That any one person has to endure so much heartache, sorrow and abuse is beyond me, but an entire family in ruins. I feel sad for these families and know I will not be at peace until they all find their happily ever afters. Each agonisingly slow step towards finding each other, to finding happiness and relief from the turmoil that has become their lives. The next book can’t come quick enough! Another family I’ve fallen in love with as I feel everything the author tries to convey.
This story was so heartbreaking and yet so beautiful at the same time. The kind of abuse that the James sisters endure is sadly something millions of people can relate too.
I was rooting for these two and I’m so glad they got their HEA. I now find myself completely in love with Shane. He’s everything a girl could ask for, not perfect but loyal and true.
Beautifully written, a 5 star read for sure!!! I anxiously await more from this series.
Let me start by saying how much I loved this book. This series “The Road Back Home” has become one of my favorites of Nicole Dykes. You can read this book as a standalone, but would get much better enjoyment out of it if you read the first book “Back to You” This book is the story of Shane Keller and Kayleigh James.
Shane Keller is an amazing brother, uncle, son and friend. There is nothing that he wouldn’t do for those he loves, even at the cost of his own happiness. Shane has been keeping secrets for years, but will those secrets destroy everything he needs to be happy? Will he get the chance to make it all right and be with the only one he has truly loved?
Kayleigh James needs out of this town. She has been looked down on, lied too, abused and treated like trash my most of this town and she is tired of it and isn’t going to take it anymore. However, can you run for those things your heart really wants? Can you forgive and move past to be happy?
Shane and Kayleigh’s love story is one of many trials and tribulations. When is the right time for them?
This book will answer those questions for you and so much more. You will fall in love with the Keller men and the James women.
Enjoy this book and read on!
This is the next book in the Road Back Home series. It didn’t disappoint. If you haven’t read the first book don’t worry you don’t have to but I guarantee you’ll want to.
Shane seems like the ultimate bad boy, but remember looks can be deceiving. What you see isn’t always what you get.
Kayleigh, seems like a hard hearted made of steel, can take care of myself kind of girl. Again, just like going into a house of mirror, images can be distorted.
I don’t do spoilers for two reasons you can get the gist from the blurb and I don’t think it’s fair to the author. It’s my job to tell you how the book affected me and if you like it, good, than read the book.
If you’re looking for a story with emotion, angst, and deep feeling then this is the book for you. It brings heat, depth of emotions, it will hit your heart. It also has a few surprises along the way. One of the things we do learn is that secrets never really ever remain secrets forever. If there is more than one person involved eventually it’s going to come out. It’s just how life works. Seriously, it’s probably better that way because secrets destroy, even if there is only one person carrying that burden. This book is filled with life lessons if you look deep enough. One of the things I like best about this book it that it doesn’t tie everything up in a nice little package. Life isn’t always that simple. It’s a real story.
I look forward to this author’s next book and can’t wait to see what happens in the next installment. I know it will be just as tr
This is book two in the Road Back Home series, I recommend you read book one first.
I absolutely love Shane and Kayleigh! There has been so much push and pull, love and heartache between these too. This book made me laugh and cry along with the characters. My heart hurts so much for Kayleigh and all that she endured in her life. Shane has also has his ups and downs throughout his life, some easy some complicated. Read this book to find out how he navigated life’s messes.
Shane and Kayleigh have some messed up history! Big time messed up history.
He’s 5 years older then her.
She has loved him since before he dated her sister.
She believes he had sex with her sister while dating his brother.
She believes he got her sister pregnant.
She blames him for her sister leaving.
They have a friends with benefits relationship.
She finally leaves.
This was a really good story even though I wanted to knock both of there heads several different times.
I definitely recommend this book and this series.
This is book 2 in the series – it CAN be read on its own, but I don’t recommend it. I think you would be missing too much backstory even though Nicole does mention what happens in book 1.
Nicole has blown me away with every one of her books, and Back to Him is no different. I loved kayleigh and Shane!! kayleigh has been to hell and back, and has the wounds, and walls to show for it, she is a bad ass…or at least that’s the persona she wants to portray, and then you have Shane….I don’t think he believes he’s worthy of, or good enough to love someone, Kayleigh pretty much feels the same, except she’s been in love with Shane for as long as she can remember, Shane and Kayleigh will Kayleigh and Shane finally get their shit together and be together? Will Kayleigh and Maddie have a sister relationship again…you’ll just have to read this book to find out!! Start with Back to You which is the first book in this series, and where you meet all the key players in this series, Nicole is amazing and recommending any book of hers is a no brainer, and now I can’t wait to see what the evil genius comes up with next for this series!!
We met Shane and Kayleigh in book one, Back To You, and their interaction had me intruded. So to say I was excited they were getting a story is an understatement.
Kayleigh is troubled but super strong. She hasn’t had it easy and is determined she doesn’t deserve love. Shane is the perfect guy for Kayleigh. He fights for what he wants. Their story is one of growth and realisations. Simply brilliant.
As always with any Nicole Dykes book, its great to see characters from previous books in the series (even if there is only one book lol).
I can’t wait for the next James sister!!
