It's smooth sailing...unless life intercedes and life always intercedes.I'm new to the work of Cooper Davis, but let me tell you, I'm glad I chose this book. Normally I'm not really one for reading first person POV, but in this book, Cooper Davis writes with such tenderness and emotion that I couldn't put it down. I love a story with sticky sweet romance and strife. This book fits the bill.Both men had me smiling and wanting to bawl in a good way. It was nice to get into Hunter's head and see things through his eyes. The scene where he meets the family is sweet and bittersweet. Readers can certainly relate to his reactions and his frustration. It was good to see how the challenges in life brought them closer. Hunter is sappy at times and a little gruff around the edges but I liked it. There are things in his past that most people would have a hard time dealing with and I loved how Max is there to lighten the load. Both men felt real.This book had plenty of twists and turns I didn't expect, as well. I literally couldn't put the book down because I had to see what would happen next. Something I really enjoyed about this book was that it wasn't just hot sex between sexy men with some plot thrown in. It was plot driven, gay fiction with steamy sex added for flavor. I couldn't get enough.If you want a book that's got heart and will make you both smile and cry, then you need to read Taking You Home. Worth every bit of the 4.5 cherries.Orignally posted at Whipped Cream Reviews
