No Place Like Home
Two hearts. One home?
Eleanor Laing has a very good reason to want to stay single: her last relationship put her in danger. And she’s worried that while the physical scars will heal, the emotional ones never can. So, travelling to Kansas for her best friend Sandy’s wedding, Eleanor’s in need of some time alone. And Sandy’s brother Ben’s rural and idyllic ranch seems like the perfect place for it.
Ben comes with his own baggage – a failed marriage in his past, and a big question mark over his future – and he knows the feelings he had for Eleanor belong firmly in the history books. But, sitting on his porch with her, he’s never felt more at home.
Both of them swore they were better off alone… yet is it possible that two broken hearts could come together to heal?

My review...
Maxine's ability to weave a blissful story of romance seems to go from strength to strength. I was caught up in this beautiful tale and couldn't tear my eyes away from the page.
The sweeping story whisks you away to the stunning location of Kansas creating the perfect location to set this story on. The narrative was romantically charged and filled to the brim with emotional moments.....and yes the tissues were called upon several times. The story line didn't shy away from difficult topics but bravely dived head first into deep issues that were both moving and emotive.
Ellie is a character your heart could easily break for but her tower of strength and determination is inspirational. Her 'will they, won't they' relationship with Ben had me silently screaming in frustration at my Kindle but it all worked perfectly to weave a stunning and compelling tale.
No Place Like Home is a beautifully crafted story of courage and love. Learning to love and trust again is a tremendously brave act and this book portrays that struggle in all its fragile and emotional ability. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this book and couldn't recommend it enough.
Author Bio...
Maxine has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember and wrote her first (very short) book for school when she was ten.
As time went by, she continued to write, but 'normal' work often got in the way. She has written articles on a variety of subjects, as well as a local history book on Brighton. However, novels are her first love.

In August 2015, she won Harper Collins/Carina UK's 'Write Christmas' competition with her first romantic comedy, 'Winter's Fairytale'.
Maxine lives on the south coast of England, and when not wrangling with words loves to read, sew and listen to podcasts. Being a fan of tea and cake, she can (should!) also be found doing something vaguely physical at the gym.
