{BLOG TOUR REVIEW} FINDING MY WAY HOME by Vicki Green + Giveaway

November 27, 2013

When you have a good heart,

You help too much,

You trust too much,

You give too much,

You love too much,

And it always seems,

You hurt the most

How do you become strong enough to leave an abusive husband? How do you get away safely? How do you get your self-esteem back? Brennan Michaels, or so her new I.D. states, escapes by train to an unknown small town in Wyoming. She finds the town is not even on any maps but something draws her there. The township befriends her, she finds a job and a place to live, in a Boarding House, not realizing the other tenant is a Hot, Sexy ex-football player and model that is dealing with his own past issues.

Hutchinson Parker or Hutch to those close to him, had a loving wife, who he cherished and was his entire world until she was taken from him by Cancer. His life ceased to exist, his football and modeling didn’t matter anymore. Nothing mattered until he found a small town in Wyoming and after nine months of grieving he meets a girl named Brennan who takes his breath away. He can tell she is dealing with something bad, something happened to her. Most people who find the small town are running from something. Her skittish behavior and the fading marks on her face means one thing. Someone abused her.

Will she find her way home?

MY REVIEW:

Finding My Way Home was a very sweet read. I honestly don't know how I feel about it right now. I'm torn. Yes, It was good don't get me wrong. Let me explain more.

I loved how there was a love story. Cause well who doesn't love a love story?? I sure do :) Now, what I didn't like about the story is the fact that a woman who was horribly abused by her husband could fall in love and move on in a matter of days/weeks. I would say more, but I don't want to spoil anything. If the story was stretched out over a period of time i'd say hey realistic. In my opinion though it just wasn't that realistic.

Now don't hate me for saying that I'm just being completely honest. So let me get the rest of this review out before I go and hide under a rock.

Finding My Way Home is the story about Zoey aka Brennan Michaels. She was badly abused by her husband and after a horrible incident where she ended up in the hospital she went to her best friend and his significant other. They came up with a plan to help her escape. She changed her hair, her name, and hopped on a train. The train stopped in a small town and there was something about it that made it feel like home. So she gets off the train. From there she begins to start over. She lives in a Boarding house with Bailey who is an adorable and kind hearted old lady. I must say Bailey reminded me of my grandmother who I love to pieces. :)

There is a sexy ex-football player/model that lives in the boarding house as well. His name is Hutchinson Parker aka Hutch. He moved to the small town 9 months ago to start over. His wife of 5 years died of cancer. :'( Very sad stuff. Anywho, while there Hutch and Zoey flirt and begin a friendship that turns into more. The question is though will her husband find her?? This time will he end up killing her?

Hutch is a very sweet man. Bailey has the biggest heart ever and I love her to pieces. Zoey's BFF Simon and his significant other Chris are adorable and you can't help but fall in love with them. All the other support characters are ones you just can't help but like. There was one character though named Matt that was an evil person. Boo on him.

That's something you'll have to find out when you pick this book up and read yourself. :)

I rate this book a 3.8 out of 5 stars.
