Copy editor Megan works to make her journalistic dreams come true, but her piece on homeless teens brings unexpected consequences. A hustler with the street name Mouth rocks her to the core with his sad story, world weary air, and overwhelming magnetism.
Mouth aka Sean has dreams of his own, big plans to rise above his circumstances and forge a real career. When he’s beaten and his hard-earned savings stolen, he accepts Megan’s offer of a place to stay for a while.
A passionate affair is the last thing either intends. The power dynamic is wrong, the gap in their ages is wrong, and yet sexual attraction crackles between them like a slow burning fuse. When it finally explodes the impossible relationship exposes Megan to criticism from all sides. Meanwhile, Sean’s inner turmoil reaches a boiling point of its own as he doubts his worth and wonders if he’s being used yet again.
Can real love grow from such a beginning or are Megan and Sean fooling themselves that an ill-fated love can last?

I enjoy reading stories about people damaged by life who find healing with a like-minded soul. When I couldn't find enough stories to suit my taste, I began to write them.

*SPOILER ALERT*
I’ll dive into the parts that really bothered me. Sean is 17 through basically the entire story. In fact he turns 18 at the very end when they aren’t even together. Megan “tries” to focus on his age and that it’s illegal but the fact that she could never keep a strong will against her physical attraction to Sean proves she didn’t respect the purpose of that law. If this was a 17 year old female with a 20+ year old male, this story would have been viewed way worse than the author is intending it to. I’ll admit I’ve been reading a lot of reverse age gap books recently but this is the first where someone is underage when the physical side progresses. As a female reader, I would hate for a teenager to read this and think this is ok in real life. I recognize how hard the author pushes that Sean is mature beyond any real 17 year old, but I wish they had made him 18 before progressing their relationship. Megan’s family and friends were made out to be the bad guys so many times because they could not support this illegal partnership and rightfully so. I understand Megan felt like this was different but that’s what everyone in these kinds of relationships think. Furthermore, I felt like Megan was the ultimate selfish main character. She was constantly putting her desires ahead of Sean’s. His character gives and gives and even when Megan gave back, it had selfish undertones. Her own mother begged her to give him up for Sean’s sake and she couldn’t even take that good advice! Sean had to break Megan’s heart for him to better his own life! I did ugly cry at that part.
All that aside, I’ll explain the parts I absolutely loved that made me go from a 1 star to 3 star review. Age aside, I did feel the connection between Megan and Sean and truly rooted for them to be together long term. I was emotionally invested in Megan’s family and by the end, my heart broke with Megan. In the final chapter I honestly wished there was more to the story, like an epilogue.
In conclusion, I don’t know if I would recommend this book. I’m glad it’s over though.
The writing was mediocre, but I thought the characters believable (action & dialogue) and so read on. Mouth was an interesting character and I'd have liked more of his backstory. In fact, the whole thing would likely have been far more interesting written from his point of view. As it stands, the story is pretty good up until Megan and Mouth get into a sexual relationship. After that, that's pretty much the entire focus of the book, that and Megan defending herself against friends and family who think maybe it's not great for a 24-year-old college grad to be having a romantic/sexual relationship with a 17-year-old prostitute.
I love stories of odd couples, whether the difference be age, social standing, race, whatever, which is why I picked this book up. But it's the difficulties in these relationships--and most just aren't going to work out in the end--that is of interest to me. Not just the sexual compatibility of two people.
By all means, read it if you just want a plot-thin book that features a good bit of sex with a hot, sexually experienced, teenaged boy.
What this book gives is a tale filled with the harsh reality of life on the streets...prostitution, drug use, vagrancy, and violence. It also tells of an amazing love story so inherently wrong, completely illegal, yet so completely acceptable in my eyes!
Finding Home introduces "Mouth" A 17 yr old male prostitute, real name Sean is turning quick tricks to make enough money to get a better life. He has nothing or no one in his life. When Megan, an aspiring reporter takes on the streets to nail that one big story to put her on the map she has no idea how much the people she would meet would affect her...especially Mouth! She cannot tear herself from him even though this is just for a story right?
Needing him to be ok...she makes an offer for safety and comfort...so begins a "relationship" of sorts. An Easy roommate situation, a push and pull of trust. Who is using Who...What is the end game here. There is a strong sexual current of attraction that is festering between a smart 23 yr old woman and an even smarter 17 yr old boy! It is hard to discern at times who is more the adult within this story!
I give Kudos to the author for this work. So many strong emotions as she wrote a love story that was wrong, on every level, and she did it beautifully. The inner turmoil, the shame, the pride, and the ultimate knowledge to do the right thing.
At the end of the day, this read is pretty profound in showing that the past does not define you...that there is hope for a real future...and most importantly that Love can be true and pure even when the circumstances surrounding it are of the darkest nature. For Megan and Sean...

The plot: Megan develops an interest and an affection for him and ends up letting him stay at her place after finding him beaten up one day and soon she is finding out that she cant resist the sexual attraction and fondness between them, despite the fact that he is 5 years younger than her and just under 18.
Tricky subject, thricky plot lines as their fling develops and she has to confront her friends and family who are all against it. The writing is a bit journalistic, not too fancy or literary, but what i loved about this book was the chemistry between the two, how it developed gradually, the author managing to make it come to life so much that you really identified with Megan and her thoughts about Sean, her growing sensations and feelings of his physicality were so well described and the characterization was great.
Sean is an amazing young man (you dont see him as a kid at all, despite his age) and what a hottie!! One of my fav male characters so far! And his dirty past makes him even harder but vunerable as well, which make him irresistible to Megan (and readers alike).
I stayed up till 4am to read the book and now im droping on my keyboard at work, but had to write a few words of praise for a daring concept and a great love story.

This is potentially the best book i’ve read all year and I know it will stay with me for a long time to come. If you want a romance with a lot more grit and hardship but also a lot of heart then you should read Finding Home. You won’t regret it!
