 Coming Home has a great mix of angst and pain, humor and playfulness. Before each chapter I was never quite sure which emotion was going to hold center stage, which just kept me reading that much more. 
 "My father once told me that if something seems too hard, before you give up, you should always ask yourself if the reward will be worth the suffering." 
 From the beginning I liked Danny. I could tell he was holding something back, but even knowing there was something big looming in his life, I loved the way he was around Leah. Leah, herself, was sunk so far into a state of grief and mistrust that it took a lot to bring her out of her shell. We really saw her pain through the various plot points in the story. It seemed like there was always a new challenge for Leah to overcome. 
 Leah and Danny worked so well together. There was an instant interest between them, despite both of them trying to hold themselves back. Danny was so understanding of Leah's hang-ups and worked slowly to get under her defenses. He also really took up the protector role that she had never had before, especially as it comes to light that her ex may not be as gone as she led everyone to believe. 
 I loved the buffer of Catherine during the couple's first meeting. Danny walking in to the house cursing out the person parked in the driveway was priceless. The side characters, from Catherine to Danny's friends and Leah's family were great additions to the story, and the bit of the story related to Bryan really explained the cohesiveness of the group and their willingness to support one another in everything going on. Because, MAN, there's a doozy of a storyline in there. Danny has a secret, and I'm not going to give it away, but his hesitance to start anything with Leah in the first place has a reason that had me speculating every time I picked the book up. 
 This was a great emotional, surprise-filled story of finding love despite personal doubt and challenges. I really enjoyed following Leah and Danny on their journey to each other. 
 Thanks to Priscilla Glenn for providing me with an arc in exchange for my honest review.
