Maggie Vine felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

Life was perfect… until it wasn’t.

When Maggie left her small-town Alabama home, she never thought she would return. Fourteen years later, Maggie finds herself driving back toward the town that she’s missed and the people she abandoned. Toward Rusty.

Rusty Jefferson was Maggie’s best friend and first love, but she’d driven away in the middle of the night without a goodbye.

Broken-hearted, the sweet boy everyone loved became hard and cold; closed off to the world, refusing to be hurt that way ever again.

Now she’s back, right in front of them all, determined to rebuild the life she lost.

Maggie sets about trying to build bridges and heal old wounds, but the secret that took her away all those years ago just refuses to stay buried… that secret, could destroy everything all over again.

Can Maggie get back what she once had? Can Rusty ever forgive her betrayal?

There’s only one place she can find out, the place she calls Home.

TW: Bereavement, Adoption

I’m Cas... a mother, a wife, and a writer, amongst many other things.

I’m from Birmingham, England but now live in South Derbyshire with my family.

I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember but I first published a book in 2012, and my author journey has been a hell of a rollercoaster since then.

I write because I love to write, but also because I love to read. I adore the way a book can take a reader away from reality for a while, and I want to be in the driving seat... I hope you’ll come along on a journey with me soon.

intense and emotional

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021

Maggie comes back to her hometown after a 14-year absence with no contact. But her secret may destroy the relationships she's trying to rebuild. Just when Maggie and Rusty figure out how to be cordial to each other and work together, life throws them yet another curveball. This intense book has all the feels - a small town, second chance romance between two people fighting their love. The story is incredible, well written, and flows nicely. I laughed and cried, and my heart ached for all that they had to go through. Their friends are incredible and supportive, and I'd love to see their stories as well. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wonderful Small Town Romance

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2021

I listened to the audiobook narration of Home and it was amazing! Wonderful voice actor!

First, I loved that this book was set in Alabama. That is where I am from and I rarely get to read a book in the south that isn't full of overt stereotypes. With Lewis being from the UK, I was surprised by how well she captured that small, southern home town feeling.

The main characters, Maggie and Rusty, were easy to connect with and fall in love with. The tension and attraction between the two was everything I look for in a second chance romance.

There was also more than just the romance between Maggie and Rusty that kept me tuned in. Of course, I adored their story and wanted to know how it ended, but Lewis did an amazing job with her side characters. There was substance to this book that I haven't gotten out of many romance books.

It was sweet, heartbreaking, spicy, made me cry, and made my heart do somersaults. I absolutely loved it and I can't recommend it enough.

Heart wrenching and heart warming, all throughout

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2021

This was an exceptionally emotional book from start to finish. The character and plot development was very well done. Some of the flashback scenes could have probably been glossed over rather than detailed, because the overuse of them does detract from the beauty of the story. This is definitely a recommended read for fans of slow burn and/or second chance romance.

What a wonderful book. The plot was engaging and fulsome. I felt as if I got to know every one of her characters. This was a beautifully written story of real life, passion, pain and family. I was recommending this book to others before I was halfway through it. Give it a good read... You will laugh, cry and celebrate with this wonderful world of characters. Thank you Mrs. Lewis for pouring your heart into this book!

An emotional rollercoaster

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2022

Home is an epic and emotional journey about second chances. A rollercoaster ride of emotions through an intricate, complex, and deep story. The title couldn't be more perfect!

I was only told it was a cowboy, small-town romance. But it is so much more. So if I'm being honest, I went in blind and didn't know what I was getting myself into. But that's ok because I would have never guessed where this book would take me and how it would make me feel.

Maggie returns to the place she left fourteen years ago. But as her life crumbles, Maggie finds herself driving toward her hometown in Alabama, a place she never thought she would see again but that could offer the change she desperately needs. As soon as she gets there, she has to face the devastation she caused by leaving and the relationships she broke.

Rusty always thought Maggie was his forever. It had been clear since they were kids. He never expected her to leave and cut all forms of communication. And now that she is back, he can't forget her betrayal and the pain she caused.

Normally, I would go on and on about the plot. But this book deserves to be experienced as things happen in life: unexpectedly, in a non-linear matter, and with reasons hopefully making sense at some point. I'm probably doing a terrible job at explaining myself! But this is a story that feels real. It's heartbreaking yet beautiful. It talks about trust, making mistakes, questioning purpose in life, and realizing that sometimes the road is hard and long, but you will eventually end up where you are supposed to be.

Hats off to Amy Jo Steele for the outstanding narration!

The Most Intense Romance I Think I’ve Ever Read

Reviewed in Canada on July 23, 2021

Here I was, expecting a quick small-town romance. What I got was my emotions thrown into a blender as this book really let me have it. I honestly haven’t been this blown away by a romance book in a really long time. Buckle up for this one though, it’s not your usual easy romance.

This book had me hooked straight away ,I was a bit angry at the Mfc being weak and almost being bullied into her choices and decisions esp when she was a teen ,wrongly or rightly it was her life and without giving the plot away she had her reasons ,it was a lovely romance with enough drama,sadness and angst and enough sex without it being too cheesy or overdone ,loved the ending and great epilogue

Intense and heartbreaking book.

Reviewed in India on January 9, 2020

I picked out this book out of a blue book. Somebody had randomly commented I should read this book. I saw and thought ok, yeah, I will read it. I was in midst of several books at that time. This reminds I have to go and thank her for recommending this. To be honest, I wouldn't have picked this book if she wouldn't have recommended it. Because I don't read cowboy stories much. It's very rare if I read it. But I don't know what happened. I picked it up and started reading and couldn't put it down. Finished it in one day. I was in a serious readers block and I was only picking books of already known authors to break me out of it. I never thought a new Author would break me out of it .I haven't read Cassandra's earlier books. I intend to change to that. I'm going to read all. I loved this book so much. The pain, the emotions, heartbreak, relationships. So well developed. I devoured each and every word of Maggie and Rusty and Daniel!!

Read it if you love second chance, cowboy romance!
