4 out of 5 stars
AT HOME IN LAST CHANCE, is the third installment in the A
Place Called Home series. Though the
plot is simple, the characters are rich, especially when we get to catch up
with characters from the previous two installments.
Kaitlyn Reed’s life has been one bad decision after
another. After visiting her brother in
Last Chance six-months ago, Kaitlyn took off, leaving her seven-year-old
daughter behind. Now Kaitlyn is back in Last Chance, trying to gain the trust
of her brother and the love of her daughter.
She is determined to get her life in order, but her self-destructive ego
continues to remind her she is nothing but a screw-up.
Steven Braden was much like Kaitlyn. He too ran when life got tough, but he’s back
in Last Chance trying to mend his relationships with his family before he goes
into the police academy. The people of
Last Chance don’t expect much from Steven, and always the charmer, Steven
decides to prove them wrong.
Kaitlyn and Steven continue to cross each other’s path. It’s not hard in a small town, but neither
one of them think much about the other.
Steven’s grandmother warns him away from Kaitlyn knowing she has enough
to deal with without Steven complicating things. And Kaitlyn’s brother knows all too well that
Steven is not someone he wants spending time with his sister. But eventually, Kaitlyn and Steven acknowledge
they are cut from the same cloth, and find themselves cheering each other on to
prove everyone else wrong.
AT HOME IN LAST CHANCE was just as enjoyable as the previous
two books in the series. It was great to
see Kaitlyn redeem herself from where we left her in book two. And Steven is the typical screw-up that cares
more about what people say about him then he leads on. I liked the bantering between these two
characters, and the added support of the other residents of Last Chance.
