I should first start this review by saying friends to lovers is one of those tropes I tend to read quite often and enjoy. This book was middle of the road. The setting was good and I liked that they did things together before hopping in bed. Yet I had trouble feeling their connection. I'm not sure if it was just me- I did have a few days break in reading at the 75% mark- but happily read the rest all in one go. Overall, a decent story. *I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

This book is about Lucy and Sam, friends since childhood that become lovers. It started well and ended well but the middle was way too long and drawn out for me and the story line in the middle did not keep me interest. I give this one 2 stars and thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

Home to Me by LaVerne Clark is a romance story about two young people who have been friends for years. Sam and Lucy grew up together as he was her brother’s best friend. Her brother has passed away and Lucy has been living overseas for several years. She has returned home and lives with her mother who is determined to throw her and Sam together. Unbeknownst to mom Sam has agreed to help Lucy overcome her frigidity but will they discover something more lasting after the lessons?
Mostly they meet again, decide to have a physical relationship, go out on a few dates while they both lust after the other, finally give in and decide not to see each other anymore. I give this book 1 of 5 stars; no real story line and they are either in bed with each other or thinking about being in bed with each other. Did not appeal to me but I’m sure there are some who will like this book.
I received an advance copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
