Skye Warren is one of my go to authors.  I've read every one of her books and love her Dark Erotica series.  On the Way Home is different than a lot of Skye's books.  While dark, it is not as dark as some of her other books.  If you're looking to try a Skye Warren book and are afraid of dark romances this would be a good book to start with.Even though On the Way Home is not as dark as some of the others this is definitely not a light romance novel.  There are bad guys in the world and Skye Warren knows how to write about them.Clint is a hero.  He's your all American boy soldier coming home on leave.  He's very trusting and almost innocent.  Della, on the other hand, is not innocent.  She is a former stripper who is now trying to make her way in the world.  But to save her sister from crime and drugs, Della agrees to go against her values.  Clint is set up by Della.  She appears to help Clint when his girlfriend kicks him out, but it's all one big trap.I really enjoyed reading about these two.  I read a lot of books with very dominant men and very submissive women and this was a change.  Clint is big, strong guy, but he has a submissive streak.  He is used to taking orders from the Army and he submits when ordered.  Della is much smaller than Clint, but she knows how to dominate him.  She takes charge and the scenes are really sexy.  It was a refreshing change to read about a dominant woman and a submissive man.  I wouldn't say Dom/sub because they didn't take it that far.  There was no formal power exchange, but Della was definitely the dominant one in the relationship.The two together were very sexy.Another hit for Skye Warren that I strongly recommend!
