Forbidden passion blooms on the gritty street.

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?

This is a previously published novel.

and uses him selfishly to satisfy her own needs

ByLilyon June 14, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The heroine of this story is 23, and she takes home a 17 year old male hooker who she finds hugely attractive. She doesn't make much effort to resist the attraction either - certainly not enough to wait until he reaches the age of 18. This story is about a woman who is not mature enough to be rescuing anyone, but who tries to save a boy she's attracted to anyway. Along the way, she takes advantage of him, makes several mistakes that hurt him, and uses him selfishly to satisfy her own needs, disregarding the advice of everybody who told her that she was committing statutory rape and using someone who had no other options. The fact that this was presented as a love story with True Love made me feel deeply uncomfortable. The fact that Sean seems mature for his age doesn't excuse Megan's actions at all. It is still child abuse.

Loved it!

ByFreshcookieson October 15, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I don't know why, but I find it really hard to write reviews on books that I've enjoyed. For some reason it's always much easier to rip into books that failed.

But this is a book that I loved. And here are some of the reasons why:
1. The characters were really very well drawn, not your usual cartoonish, card board cut outs
2. The writing was much, much better than what I've come to expect from the romance genre
3. The story was engaging and I was completely absorbed. So much so that I was actually in tears in a few spots (romances nearly always fail to move me)

Twenty three year-old journo Megan, wants to write a story about street kids and underage prostitution and through this, meets 17 year-old homeless prostitute Mouth/Sean. They get friendly, he ends up staying at her place after he's attacked and beaten...romance ensues. It's basically a fairly far-fetched premise but the fact that the author is able to turn this into a believable tale shows that she has a gift.

I consumed this piece over two nights after work and I'm not often so riveted that I stay up past my bed time, but I cared about these characters and believed in their romance. Sure it was probably lust at first sight for both of them (although neither act on it initially for obvious reasons) but I appreciated that the author didn't harp on and on about the attraction like you usually find in romances. You know the sort of thing: "He saw her across the dance floor and knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had to have her, taste her. He had to make her his. Everything about her ignited his passions. Her eyes, her body, the cute little way she flipped her hair. Perfection!" Spare me.

Even though Megan finds Mouth/Sean dangerously attractive and you suspect that Sean fancies her in return, the emphasis is definitely on their friendship and watching their love grow as a result of that friendship. I find that far more satisfying than lust posing as love.

Another thing I LOVED was that it was 3rd person but from HER POV only. I actually don't want to be inside the hero's head. I want him and his motivations to remain a mystery to me, it also makes it easier to identify with the heroine in my opinion. I want his actions alone to be the clue as to how he's feeling about her. And this was done really well here.

All in all an enjoyable and engrossing read with characters I will actually miss.

I loved their love story!

ByHelenon November 5, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I just re-read this book! Again!! This is one of the rare books I find myself in the mood to read over and over. I finally decided to leave a review even though I first read this book a long time ago. The plot is still relevant and original after all this time. The taboo of a 17-year-old H made this romance different and gripping. The book is written from Megan's perspective so we feel her angst as she is getting to know Mouth/Sean and not always understanding how he feels. I believed their love story. I loved their love story and if you are looking for an engaging unique romance I think you will too.

IN A WORD..... INCREDIBLE

ByAmazon Customeron July 12, 2013

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

INCREDIBLE! I NEED MORE STARS!!!

I absolutely think this is one of the best books I have read in a very long time. (To give you a good Idea of time, I read about 4-6 books a week) Ok, ket me clarify further. I have read many books lately that have touched me, made me smile, had me on the edge of my seat and ended with a happy sigh. This would be my 4-5 star reads. However, every once in a while I find a 10+ star book that is edgy, angsty, beautiful and touches me deeply. A book that involves me so emotionally that I mourn the characters and the story when its over and scour goodreads and Amazon looking for a recommendation like it. I felt that way with Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, the Thoughtless trilogy by S.C. Stephens, Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan and yes the Fifty Shades trilogy by E.L. James and I feel that way about Finding Home.

This is a story of redemption, acceptance and unconditional love. Its about taking a stand and absolute blind faith and trust in a person, who the world would find untrustworthy and walk right by.

You wont regret reading this book. But beware, this is not a fluffy feel good, funny, skip through the meadow kind of story. Its edgy and dark and full of LIFE - life we understand and accept and life that happens that we choose to believe doesnt exist. It contains graphic sex scenes and emotional turmoil. The beauty of character and the strength to overcome insurmountable obsticles; its full of struggles, emotions,and a force of will that has you on the sidelines cheering "You GO!"

So, if you want to FEEL, this is the book for you. As I said....... absolutely INCREDIBLE.
