It has been ten years since Erin Kelly has seen Reese Flint. He is now a Major in the Army, having served nearly twenty years. Erin has been house-sitting in the garage apartment and now Reese is back. Erin in in shock. Here is the man of her heart. Her dreams. Mark cannot believe his eyes. Eleven years his junior, Erin has become a stunningly beautiful young woman. If only she weren't so young...

A year passes, and Mark and Erin were like two ships in the night. Erin is confused as to why Mark won't even try and befriend her. Mark gets hurt at work and Erin begins to assist him. His over-bearing mother would rather be in charge. His brother Ben drops in from time-to-time, but he only seems to agitate both Erin and Mark - but for completely different reasons that both are unaware of.

He has never made his parents happy. With their wealth and vision, they expected much more from him. It has been nearly two decades and they, especially his mother, think it is high time for Mark to retire.

Mark and Erin get along famously, although Mark is quick to remind Erin of their age differences. It becomes a battle of wills, especially when his family becomes a factor. The romance in this book is definitely a slow burn. I love reading romances that offer such intensity without any physicality. In so doing, the author allowed raw emotion and depth to develop between the characters.

Home with You is the fourth book in the Rambler Battalion series. I hadn't had the opportunity to read the previous titles, but I had no problem becoming fully invested in the story. I like Claire Cain's writing style and do look forward to reading more of her in the future. ( )
