New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Julia London delivers another standalone, heartwarming love story in her Pine River series.

Emma Tyler's cool exterior and penchant for sarcasm keep most people from getting too close...and an unusual compulsion drives her to steal from the few men who do. When her trophy-collecting habit goes too far, she quits her ritzy event-planning job in Los Angeles and runs away to Pine River, hiding with her estranged half sisters at Homecoming Ranch and caring for Leo Kendrick, her ailing friend.

Thrillseekers Anonymous founder Cooper Jessup has his hands full with work and his brother's looming prison release date. But when a client asks him to track down Emma Tyler to retrieve a stolen memento, Cooper can't turn down the money...or the chance to see the beautiful Emma again.

When Cooper comes to collect the item, Emma refuses to admit the horrible truth. This handsome man may see right through her steely veneer, but can he get close enough to show her how love and honesty can heal a troubled heart?

In this final book of the Pine River Saga, we learn more about Emma Tyler, and what has made her the way she is. We also get to read the rest of Leo's story. I absolutely love that the author brought in characters from other series of hers that I have read.

I actually didn't think Leo was going to make it to his big game, but, now that I have read the book, I understand why it was written that he did make it. Having had a family member die from a terminal illness, I can remember how, once a big date or event was reached, things went quickly from there. I like the description of Leo running though, that is how I picture it as well.

As for Emma, I had to laugh at her feeling that the men each owed her something. Especially given the recent news out of Hollywood, you almost agree with her, but you don't agree with her motives for being with them in the first place. I did like the climax of how Cooper found out just how deep the issue was. I also liked what happened with the St. Christopher Metal.

No big surprises in this book, but, definitely a good happy ending story, with a little bit of sad reality mixed in.

It was a great story. I like the fact that it was different and quirky. But I really had to write review just in case the editor, author, performer read this...I never comment on the actual reading and performance of a book but this one was quite memorable! Thank you! Not only did it facilitate the reading but it added to it! Wonderful job!!!

Good book, great performance

love it to the end brought me to tears and laughter.
You can hear the emotions and the joy the narrator voice. If I didn't know any better I would swear this book was a real story the way the compassion was in the words I could not put it down.

O how I enjoyed this book

Where to start, with the first book. All three books flowed smoothly and went one to another. I loved all three but THE PERFECT HOMECOMING brought it all
together. I loved the commentary from Leo . It won my heart like he did everyone else. I HATE spoilers so I will just say well worth the credits or purchase. Loved all three books . Sweet, love, romance and
heart ache. Great job Tanya Eby the narrator!!! PERFECT!!!

WOW! Just ...WOW!!!

Very memorable read

It's Emma's turn to show us what she's made of and Cooper makes her shine! This is a great series! Even though this book is a stand-alone, the whole series is worth your time.

Poor Emma!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Although these books can be stand alone, I like to have the whole series for background on the characters. I really enjoy all the books in this series and the series that ties in with it (Thrillseekers). I would recommend all of them. There is plenty of humor plus the feeling that these characters are as frail and fallable as any human.

What did you like best about this story?

I think that Emma was who she was whether other people liked her or not. I understand how people would assume she had a form of Aspbergers (having an autistic child, I know they can say things that most people filter) and maybe she really did.

What does Tanya Eby bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She does a good job of distinguishing voices from one character to the next. I like her work.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Both. There were some parts where you had to laugh but the parts that were sad literally made be cry. I don't want to give anything away, but if you've read the other books in this series, there is a conclusion that you knew was coming and is still something you wish would change.

Any additional comments?

I have most of Julia London's audibles that are this genre. I'm not into the historical romances but I do like the contemporary ones.

Home again.
