Coming Home was such a great read! I really enjoyed this second chance love story. I liked getting to know both Garrett and Larissa, and how they both had some issues to work through. I especially loved the theme of having treasures in heaven, since it’s one I’ve been studying and trying to put in to practice myself, so I loved the reminder. As always, the road to HEA is never easy, but for these two it was worth it and full of people to help steer and encourage them in the right direction. Completely recommended ~5 stars 🙂
OMG! What a book.
This author has done it again.
The characters in this story are so engaging and real.
The plot is so interesting.
I have read a lot of this author’s book but this may be my favorite one.
I got so lost while reading it that I did nothing else till it was finished.
Another 5-star for this awesome author.
Coming Home by Carolyne Aarsen
Family Bonds Series Book Three
Garret Bond left Rockyview ten years ago. He had seen what money and power could do for a person…and he wanted it. And then, he wanted to come back and use his money and power against the person he felt had held it over his family. Only, things didn’t turn out quite as he expected.
Larissa Weir loved Hidden Creek Inn. It was her mother’s pride and joy. On her mom’s deathbed, she asked Larissa to look after it, to keep it going. And she was doing her best to do so. Only, her dad and uncle just didn’t care about it the same way and it was slowly falling apart. Until Garret came to town and bought her uncle’s share.
Ten years ago, Garret had hoped to marry Larissa. But their stations in life were different, as Jack Weir had pointed out to him. Miscommunication helped tear the young couple apart. Now, older and wiser, they may have their second chance at love. Love this series!

Coming Home is another inspiring romance from Carolyne Aarsen. Ten years ago, he left but Larissa and Garret never forgot each other. These well written characters have matured, never found another love, and now are business partners. As they work to save the inn Larissa loves, will they be able to heal past hurts and discover love again? I loved this book!
So good! I loved getting to see Larissa and Garret find their way, while renovating the Inn Larissa loved, to draw in more business. I can say I did not like her father much, even had thoughts he was sabotaging the Inn’s financial state. I read this book in two sittings. If you love clean inspirational Stories you can’t go wrong with ‘Coming Home’.
Savvy businessman finds his home and love….Originally Garret wanted to buy ownership in the mill, but Larissa’s uncle wanted to sell him his share in the inn instead. Now he will have to partner with Larissa as well as Larissa’s father. Eight years after their breakup, both Garret and Larissa still have angry feeling, but they will need to work together to save the inn. I received a free copy of this eBook from the author. This is my honest and voluntarily given review. The story and characters are very realistic. I love how Garret helps build up Larissa’s confidence in her abilities and her decisions. Larissa in turn helped Garret learn what was most important in life. I also liked that through faith,, they were able to trust more in God and in each other in their decisions.. I love this second chance romance.
Oh my how I loved both of these characters and they are such an adorable couple!!! Misunderstandings and outside manipulation separate and keep this couple apart for years. UGH!!! Both had such class and a love for the Lord that they were able to work together. The author did a great job of showing us their struggles – real people – and also their desire to be in the Lord’s will. Gotta read to see if they can reconnect and finally be home together.
What an absolute joy of a story! I started reading this book today and couldn’t put it down until the end. It is interesting, has wonderful characters and there’s a second chance romance. It took ten years, but Garret came back home to Nana, his brother, cousins, friends and the never forgotten love of his life. He had worked hard, graduated university, earned money and felt the call to return. Funerals, illness and weddings had called him home but he always left. This Christian read can be read by anyone and I loved every minute of it. Thanks to the author who gave me the ARC to enjoy.
