I was gifted this book for an honest review.I gave this book 5 stars.This is book one in the Coming Home series.This is Lindy and Lucas' story.Sometimes being a blogger and getting books turns into more of a job then enjoyment and you forget why you enjoyed reading in the first place. This was not one of those times. This book was such a wonderful surprise. I do admit that I walked in with a bad attitude and was prepared to not enjoy this book at all. But after the first few pages the Author reeled me right in and I was hooked until the very last page. This book has everything first love, lost love, villains, nasty ex's, best friends and  amazing family.Lindy was made fun of when she was a little girl. She was 5'2 and weighed around 200 lbs. She got laughed at and felt like she never belonged. But she has two people in her life that make it bearable Lucas and Tara her two best friends in the whole world.. When she loses her father. Lucas tells her --  "I'm sorry your dad died." he says.Lindy wipes the tears from her face. "Me too.""I'll share my dad with you." Lucas sneaks into her window almost every night and they lay on her bed and talk and share their dreams with each other.They formed a bond that she thought could never be broken until Lucas became the star football player and was embarrassed to be seen with her.Then one night at a party Lucas gets drunk and does something that he can't take back and he hurts Lindy more then he could ever imagine and to make it worse he says things that he can't take back. She runs and goes home and the next day leaves for college and never looks back. It has been 4 years and Lindy and Tara have remained best friends, but she has not spoken to Lucas since the night he broke her heart and left her shattered.Lucas has done some things in his life that he is not proud of .. He has always been in love with Lindy and has made mistake after mistake when it came to her. He was young and not proud of the way he treated her just because he thought that his friends would not accept her. But now Lindy is home and Lucas is determined to get their friendship back on track, he is determined to win his girl back. And he will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Can he finally convince Lindy that he was just a stupid young kid and that he didn't mean anything that he said or did? Or will she hold a grudge against him and not let him back in.And although they face these problems there are more problems lurking in their town. There is a person committing crimes all over and it is getting a little to close to home. And it puts Lindy in danger. Can Lucas protect her?I LOVED this book, I devoured it in one sitting. I loved these three characters, yeah Lucas was a bit shallow when he was younger but it was always in him to be better, and Lindy saw that in him. This story was all about family not just the love of Lucas and Lindy. Lindy, Tara and Lucas and their whole family are tight nit and have bonded together as a group. They stand up for each other, take care of each other and love each other. What else could you possible want?  Thank you Emily for a wonderful story. I. Cannot. Wait to read your next book in this series I want to read TARA's story so bad.  I am so glad I took the chance and read this>:)
