Facing the past is never fun, especially when it involves seeing the man you still love. When their lives are once again intertwined, is a second chance possible?

Ash once stabbed his heart when he broke up with him, who cares if it was high school, pain is still pain. And speaking of pain, this broken foot has done nothing but keep him stuck in Crawford City.

Ash is now the town doctor after his dad retired, which means when the incredibly handsome and totally pissed off Todd comes in, Ash is the only person in town who can treat him.

Like it or not, when Ash and Todd’s dads drop a major bomb on them, the two men are forced to deal with one another.

Will they find a way around teenage misunderstandings and bad choices to rekindle a love that’s never stopped boiling, or will their pride forever keep them apart?

NOTE: Family Home is a low-heat (no explicit sex scenes,) sweet, high drama romance.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Blake Allwood was born in west Tennessee, then moved to Kansas City MO after earning a degree in Early Childhood Education from Graceland College in Lamoni, Iowa. He met his husband Shaun in 1995 and they officially married in 2015, once gay marriage was legalized; although they still consider Valentines Day 1995 as their true “anniversary date”. Twenty-two years later (2017), after fostering 12 children together, he and his husband sold their home, purchased an RV and began traveling the country with their two dogs.

Typically, Blake can be found relaxing in the RV or by the fire writing on his laptop with their Jack Russell Terrier, Buddy, curled up between his legs demanding attention. Denver, their Siberian Husky mix is often asleep at his feet or playing tug of war with Blake’s husband.

Most of Blake’s stories are inspired by the places they have visited in their ongoing travels. His first book, Aiden Inspired, was released in 2019 and he has now written over 20 books. In 2023 he is releasing the Coming Home series which is comprised of ten-plus sweet contemporary romance novels that are based on a fictional town in his home state of Tennessee.

Blake also writes under the pen name of Adam J. Ridley for his urban fantasy fans looking for stories revolving around gay characters. His first series is The Witch Brothers Saga, starting with Emerald Earth. The first book of his superhero series will be releasing in the Summer of 2023.

    4.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read
    Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2023
    Ash and Todd have come a long way in their professional lives since they last saw each other, but not so far in their personal lives with neither having moved on from their teenage romance nor letting go and forgiving the other for how things ended.

    I found Todd was a bit over-the-top with his behaviour towards Ash to start with, but liked how they both started to calm down a bit and re-get to know each other as they are forced to spend time together.

    Their small families were very close-knit and became even closer once their dad's both came out with a secret they'd been keeping their whole lives. I liked the small close-knit family unit that had grown by the end of the book, adding a few more people who became very important to them.

    The issues around homophobia they have to deal with made me both angry and sad, hopefully, these sorts of things one day become a thing of the past, though America seems to be going backwards, so only time will tell.

    An enjoyable slow-burn, second-chance romance, with very low heat.

    4.0 out of 5 stars family
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2023
    I think what I really liked about this story is how steeped in family relationships Ash and Todd were, their own and each other's, even during their post high school estrangement. Each man is very close to the other's family and also holding on to the hurt that came with their high school romance not making it. Each blamed the other for the end and each was suffering from misunderstandings. When Todd returns and is injured in a fall, he has to seek treatment and the doctor is not Ash. This gives them a chance to get on the road to reunification. Their love is still there or the feelings would not be so strong and bitter. And as they find their way back the family finds itself transforming in many different ways, including some expansion. This was lovely.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A good read
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2023
    For the most part, I would say I enjoyed the story. There were some aspects to it that I found to be wanting, I guess. Certain parts felt like it was missing something. I didn't feel like I bought their romance entirely, but in the end I did--it just took sometime for me to get in sync with the pacing and the writing style. I liked the premise, but I wanted a bit more development from the characters both individually and within their relationship.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Sweet Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2023
    This is the second book in the Coming Home series but can be read as a standalone. I enjoyed reading this book. It was a very sweet, low-angst, and low steam romance. Ash and Todd had a high school romance that ended, but still simmered underneath it all. Once Todd and Ash cleared up their misunderstandings left over from their high school break-up, they realized how much they still cared for each other. They were really sweet together. The characters were all lovely and likable. It could have used a little more heat, but it was still a good story and an enjoyable read.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2023
    This is a low angst definite slow burn. It slowed down for me towards the middle then kind of crawled for me. I thought the issues were somewhat realistic for high schoolers but as grown men- they needed to get over it. Ash and Todd did have connection and I enjoyed their banter. Some nice twists with the dads. Just an ok read for me.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A great entry in a favorite series
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2023
    My favorite part of this series is the family and community building aspects. Todd and Ash are childhood sweethearts that burned a little too hot. As a result they have been avoiding each other for years. But when Todd falls from the roof of his fathers house, he and Ash are forced back together. Then they have to face their past issues when their fathers reveal a secret that insures that they will be around each other permanently. I did respect that there was no instant solution for this couple. There were missteps and a lot of work that they both did to earn their HEA.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2023
    This is the second book in the Coming Home series but can easily be read as a standalone. Family Home revolves around just that…. Family. Todd and Ash were high school sweethearts, but have been estranged since breaking up. They are thrown together after Todd injured himself and their Dads make a big announcement. This is a low angst, NO heat, sweet story of second chances and the importance of family. It was a quick read with a very satisfying ending. I think adding a little heat would have enhanced the story, but I did enjoy it as is.
