Intriguing, dangerous, unexpected and more.. Better than the 1st book, in the Canyon Creek series, (My Way To You) which I didn’t finish. Can be a stand alone. I like strong women which the main character Erin is. Definitely a good book to pick up and read and recommend.

Whenever I read Catherine Bybee I know this is going to be a great book. I love her storytelling! Everytime I also read a new series from her I always hear myself say this one is my favorite!

What a beautifully emotive novel!

Dealing with the sensitive topic around domestic abuse (although we meet Erin as she begins to set up her new life), you can’t help but connect with Erin very closely right from the beginning. I’ve joined the Creek Canyon series without reading book 1 but it made no difference to my reading experience - Home To Me can easily be read as a stand-alone.

I loved following the blossoming relationship between Erin and Matt and seeing her open up despite her past. Bybee creates the perfect mix of lightheartedness whilst tackling some really difficult themes, giving the reader a sense of hope and a realistic overview of the ups and downs of everyday life.

This was a 5* read for me and I can’t wait to read book 3.

I'm on a Catherine Bybee reading fest!!!!!

Here's another beautiful and courageous read of a woman trying to build a safe life, and a protective firefighter who wants to keep her safe in his life forever, and bring her home to him.

Meet Erin Fleming and Matt Hudson, as they navigate their romance through a dangerous territory, fighting for their survival and a right to build a home.

Catherine Bybee writes Interesting stories with well rounded characters that you root for throughout. This one touches on an important issue for me, the California wildfires (the second in this series) and again she can bring the personal for an interesting, atypical, romance not afraid to tackle tough topics like abuse.

A beautifully written story that I read within a day!. The storyline is just beautiful, and with the underlying tones of romance, suspense and a little bit of mystery thrown together makes up a truly incredible read.
I adored the characters and their individual personalities, and the ways in which the characters interacted throughout was heart warming.
The setting of the book was portrayed wonderfully and I could certainly picture it clearly in my mind, it had me daydreaming of wandering along the small town's streets..

A beautiful, heart warming read that leaves you wanting more. I truly loved this book.

Catherine Bybee has done it again. This is a wonderful story about good work ethic by both Dameon and Grace. They also have strong family ties. I wish this wasn’t the end of this series but I love seeing the many characters from the first two books in this one.

Grace has worked hard and loves being an engineer but can’t stand her boss. Dameon is trying to build a new development. They’ve met several times and the words Ms. Bybee brings their attraction to life. This is why I love her books so much. No couple has an easy time but their are bad guys as well so it keeps you wanting to keep reading right to the last page. Can’t wait to see what she’s going to write next!!!!

I love when I find an author that I haven’t read before that I enjoy; even better when the book I found is part of a series, which this one is! This is the second book in the Creek Canyon Series, and I really enjoyed it, You don’t need to read the first book to enjoy this one, though I believe some of the characters and their storyline started there.

It is clear from the start of the story that Erin Fleming is a woman with a story and a tough pst - and that she is hiding from something or someone. Matt Hudson is a firefighter whose biggest troubles probably involve fending off females that fawn over handsome men in uniform. Erin has caught Matt’s eye, and Erin is really trying to avoid her attraction to Matt.

Some unfortunate things happen that leave Erin wondering if her past has caught up with her, and if she will ever be able to trust anyone or anything again, without putting the people she cares about in danger. Can she move beyond her past? Can Matt help? You’ll have to read the book to find out more!

This was an entertaining read that mixes romance, suspense, and a little bit of mystery together. I loved the characters, especially Matt - he was so sweet and understanding throughout the story. I found myself staying up late just to read a little bit more...

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The story revolves a woman in hiding from her abusive ex-husband, a new laove and firefighters. I thought it was way too predictable and while I finished it, I really didn't enjoy it.

This was an enjoyable book to read. The characters were well written and the romance was pleasant and done in a realistic way. The story was easy to follow and I was able to read this book in one sitting. The setting was beautiful and who doesn’t love a small town romance. The interaction with the secondary characters flowed well. A truly wonderful reading experience.

A great storyline, a lot of drama, twists and mystery with romance thrown in from firefighter Matt and Erin who was in hiding from an abusive husband, lovely family and Parker and her family, they became the family she was missing.

Erin and Matt are such a great couple. I love how they both start out so awkward around each other when otherwise they are totally confident people. While both of the characters were introduced in the previous book in the series, there is no reason you can't read this as a stand-alone. From a story perspective, this is classic Bybee. The characters are genuine and real. The chemistry is natural and unforced. And the story is engaging. Another five star read from one of my favorite and most consistent authors.

Whilst I really enjoyed this novel, I also didn’t! To me it felt like there was tension building all along. I actually had to read the ending first! However I am a bit of a wuss and so whilst not really my cup of tea, a great well written and crafted novel

A heart wrenching emotional story that will leave you thinking for quite a while. We first met Erin in, My Way to You. Erin is a very secretive person, works from home and pays cash for everything. We now find out that she was a victim of domestic abuse, and she needs to learn to trust and open her heart again. Matt is the perfect person, he is so patient and caring for Erin.

This book will pull you in from the first page and will not let go until the end. A very tough subject that touches many and well told. I highly recommend this book.
