She ran away to see the world. He was left behind with the fallout. Do these childhood sweethearts still have a chance at happily-ever-after?

Salt Lick, Kentucky. Prodigal child Clem Calhoun is home to beg for forgiveness. But returning after a seven-year stint in the military has her more nervous than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Because she knows sooner or later, she’ll come face-to-face with the ranch hand she dumped at the altar.

Boone Methany has never gotten over being jilted. But despite his pain, his unwavering loyalty to the Calhoun family keeps him under a greedy neighbor’s threat: Marry his daughter, or he’ll burn Boone’s adoptive cattle station to the ground. Yet his protective plans are thrown off-kilter when Clem rides back into his life and sparks start to fly.

Sitting across from Boone every week at Sunday dinner has Clem wondering why she ever walked away. And torn between his new fiancée and his former flame, Boone’s mind is at war with his heart.

Love this book

I'm so excited about this book! Kelly Moore has created something so unique and different for her readers. This novel won me over from the very first 10 minutes. Kelly Moore has always amazed me with her ability to imagine such incredible characters, come up with story lines that are unlike everything else out there, and completely bring it all to life. Coming Home is full of family drama, mostly Clem trying to get back into everyone's good graces, but also is about love, heartbreak, loss, starting over, and especially - the ability to laugh at one's self and situation no matter how challenging things get. This book is hilarious, will make you cry, and laughing out loud at times. In will certainly warm you up on a chilly night with some very steamy scenes! There is a cliffhanger and I can’t wait for more.

**I received this audio book in exchange for an honest review.**

Wow!

Years ago, Clem left Boon at the alter. She was young and not ready. Her family did not forgive her. Now she’s home to make amends and get back in her family’s good graces. But Boon is engaged to the girl next door. Jealousy is rearing it’s ugly head in Clem but does she have the right to be jealous?
Opinion
This is a really good story about Clem coming home. I enjoyed he path that Ms. Moore took the story and look forward to reading more books in the series.

Coming Home was Outstanding!!!

I was pulled in from the beginning. The characters came alive in my head as I listened. It was like I was watching a movie. Job well done!

I love cowboys!

This was an emotional book for me. Ms. Moore had my emotions all over from elated to devastated for this family. My heart went out to Boon and Clem. I loved their love story.

The narrator with her southern accent was perfect for these characters of small town ranchers.

The southernisms had me laughing throughout this book. I loved all the characters in this book.

Love second chance stories!

I feel in love with this story, right from the start. Clem has such a fancy vocabulary, it keeps you wondering what she's going to come up with next! I love the plot, the characters - good and bad, and how family is family-no matter what.
I have to say something about the narrator, she rocked this story!!! This was my first listen by her and I really enjoyed her different voices.
I'm excited to listen to Bear's story, as I'm sure it will be just as good as Clem's.
Be sure to listen, this story is def worth a credit!!

Great Read

Coming Home (Whiskey River Road, #1) was another great read by Kelly Moore. Clem wasn't ready to marry Boone all those years ago. She always loved Boone but knew that something was stopping her from walking down the aisle. Clem felt like she needed to do something away from the family ranch. Seven years after leaving the ranch, she comes home and isn't prepared for what she finds back home. I really enjoyed Cleam and Boone's story and can't wait to read more in this series. Sera Sharr did a great job of narrating the characters.

Second Chance Romance with Great Chemistry

This author is a fairly new to me author and this is only the second book I have read of hers. I overall really enjoy her writing style and loved the first story I read of hers, so I jumped at the chance to read Coming Home. I was sucked into the story line at the beginning with Clem leaving Boone at the alter, and learned quickly on that this would probably be a second chance love story, which is honestly one of my favorites.

I absolutely loved Boone. He was a standup kind of guy who obviously loved the Calhoun's and Clem very much and went to great measures to protect them all. I even really liked Clem for the most part. I feel like she took responsibility for hurting those she loved in the past. I feel like she was protective of her family and of Boone. I think Clem and Boone had some serious chemistry and I was rooting for them from the beginning.

I really liked some of the drama/mystery/suspense aspect of the book, but at times I felt like it was too much. I felt like at times there was just way too much going on and that it maybe took away from the story somewhat. Almost like trying to cram too much into one story. But, maybe I am in the minority on that. I am still interested to see where the next story in the series leads and did overall enjoy the story.

This was my first listen by Sera Sharr and I overall enjoyed the book, but I do think at times some of the voices of different characters blended into each other, or male characters sounded too feminine, but I would definitely be interested in listening to more of her work. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

Crying material

I loved this story and I’m so eager to listen to the next.
This story was filled with passion, suspense and is quite intriguing.

No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Good dialogues
The characters are developed in to realistic personalities
What I especially liked about this story is the family holding together when things get rough.

Narrator:
I’m surprised at how much I liked this. A good voice that mostly manages to read in a way that gave each character their own voice. Not perfectly but good.
Clear pronunciation and read with feelings

5 stars overall

Coming Home isn't always easy

This is a story of a daughter that left home and left the boy she loved at the alter. She is coming home and having to deal with the aftermath of what she left behind. She has to prove herself to her family and her lost love and maybe she can help them all heal in the process.

I enjoyed Clem and Boone's story. There are hidden hurts and sneaky dangers lurking. It's funny and sexy and good characters.

Sera Sharr is a good Clem. She brings the quirky southern girl to life. I didn't enjoy her male voices as much but overall she did a good job.

I did however love the book and I recommend it.

WOW definitely a fantastic plot

This is the first book I have had read or listen to by this author so I had no idea
what it would be like.
I found myself absolutely hooked to the plot and characters.
Great plots that ran smoothly and the characters are interesting.
This book finished up on a bit of a cliffhanger so I’m well and truly looking
forward to the next book to see how everything comes together.
The narrator was absolutely brilliant with bring the characters to live.
I voluntarily listen to a copy of this book for a review.

Loved it!

Kelly Moore is an exceptional author, she captivates her audience with her beautifully written words and fascinating characters. Coming Home, the first book in the Whiskey River Road, is a tale about regret, growth, healing, family, love, and one man's vendetta. The storyline is emotionally charged with excellent family drama, humour, and plot twists. The characters are authentic with depth to their personalities. I genuinely liked Clementine (Clem) and Boone and was wholly impacted by their heartfelt journey. I realise why Clem had to leave, even so, my heart hurt for Boone. I absolutely adore him, despite the heartache and rejection, he remained loyal to Clem's family.

Sera Sharr did a fantastic job with the narration. She captured the various characters' personalities, emotions, and dynamics, breathing life into them. This was an incredible story, I cried, I smiled, and I even laughed out loud. I love everything about this audiobook and highly recommend it! I listened to a promotional copy of the audiobook, and my unbiased review is given voluntarily.

Another winner by Moore

Wow, what can I say. This is an awesome start to this series. Moore is an amazing author no matter what she’s writing about. This series is going to be following one amazing family. I fell in love with all the characters even Margaret. There’s so much going on in this story that it pulls you in and holds your attention so well that when you reach the ending it just makes one smile knowing there’s more to come for all of them! My heart fell for Boone right along side of Clem. And Clem was such a southern spitfire. This audiobook had me smiling, cringing after crying if fat tears. And it left me wanting to get onto the next book.

The narration was great, Sera is new to me. She does character distinctions really well and I’m excited for the next book.

I received this audiobook at my quest and this is my honest opinion.

sweet listen

If you like small town country with great family you will love this one. Sweet second chance romance. Excellent side characters and looking forward to the next one.

Narration was excellent.

Awesome!

I loved everything about this Audiobook! written well by Kelly Moore & Narrated well by Sera Sharr giving it just amazing characterisation I was living it! (definitely like listening to movie)
What can I say, Heart warming yet soul wrenching! southern money and & corruption! Love, betrayal, second chances! or were there? I can't wait for whisky River Road Book 2
An easy recommendation from me!

Coming Home

Sometimes you are just not ready for what life has in store for you. Clem needed to see what was out there to appreciate what she had at home. Leaving Boone at the alter was hard but she was just not ready to take that step. It never meant she did not love him. I think Clem's mom was one of my favorite characters. I wish their was more of her in the story. While you may think this is just a love story its so much more their is lots of action and mystery to the story. And I absolutely love the fun names Clem comes up with. The narration was nice and I think she nailed Clem's character. Thanks Audiobook Obsession for the recommendation.

Finally Home

You know the saying there is no place like home, I think this applies to this book. This book was just like coming home. This is a great second chance romance. Clem and Boone was amazing. Narrator is new to me and did an amazing job. Looking forward to more stories from both author and narrator.

brilliant listening

thank you so much. this story had me chuckling gasping and crying. brilliantly written and a great narrative easy to tell between the different characters and a easy to follow the plot.

Clem is home

Kelly Moore captures me every single time I listen to one of her books, but there is something extra special about this one. I am not sure what attracted me so much to it. It could be the second chance romance between Clem and Boone. It could be the incredibly strong woman Clem is, or the handsome, reluctant Boone. It could be the family dynamics of siblings and parents, hurt and love, anger and trust. It could be the crazy fiance, the evil villain or even the ranch itself. But what I think it is, is the magic all these things combined created. A real story, one that is easy to relate to. One where a woman decides what she wants to do with her life, no matter the consequences. It's the family that pulls together in times of crisis and the real love of a couple that stands the test of time. Moore has crafted a beautifully told story with all the emotions and feels. It will make you angry and frustrated, sad and crying, but most of all it will make you love and smile. I am looking forward to what is coming next with this family!

Sera Sharr is a new to me narrator and I think Kelly Moore has found a gem. She made this story come to life, like a movie in my mind. Her voices are spot on, easy to distinguish and fit each character. And that Texas twang just fit the bill. I loved her performance and can't wait for more.

Excellent narration by Sera Sharr!!

Loved this story. It was so funny and emotional. The narration was excellent. I live in Tennessee and the accent was spot on! Looking forward to Stolen Hearts!
