Review:
You’re My Home by Debbie Burns is the 7th book in her wonderful Rescue Me series. Once again, Debbie Burns gives us another wonderful sweet story as we return to the High Grove Animal Shelter, where we also get to see many of the people we got to know in the previous books.
Riley Leighton (our heroine) has returned home to support her mom during her cancer treatment; it has been 12 years since she left home. To her surprise, Riley runs into her ex-boyfriend from school, when she left town and broke his heart.
Levi Duncan (our hero), suffered a terrible accident during his deep-sea diver job, and has been warned that he cannot continue to do that job because of his severe concussion. Taking time off to decide on his career, he receives a message from his friend Marcus to help out at his dog training camp. When Levi runs into Riley, he still feels the chemistry between them, even after all those years. There friendship between them resumes, as Riley keeps their feelings as friends only, since knows she will eventually be leaving again.
When she discovers a Great Dane, who seems to be lost, she brings him to High Grove Animal Shelter, where she meets some of those she knew, such as Meghan, the director, Tess, Kelsey and Patrick. Riley offers to help work at the shelter, and begins to love her job walking the dogs, as well as taking control of the social media for the shelter. She realizes that she has fallen in love with Arlo, the Great Dane, which in time, she will adopt.
Riley and Levi spend a lot of time together, with both helping to promote the plans for Marcus’s training camp, and the fundraiser for the Shelter; not to mention their love of the dogs they help. Slowly, their feelings bring them back together, and will need to decide what the future holds for them.
You’re My Home is a charming second chance romance that is delightful, heartwarming and fun story of two people trying to get beyond their past, and move forward. It was great to see some of the past characters who lead the previous books, but most of all, I adored the dogs and the adorable & lovable, Arlo.
Debbie Burns gives us another wonderful addition to her Rescue Me series, which was a delightful, heartwarming story that kept us hooked until the very end. You’re My Home was well written by Debbie Burns. If you love animals, with a romance in the background, you need to be reading this series.
