Blurb
Ty Scott has spent most of his life trying to keep his best friend, Declan, strictly in the friend zone. It hasn’t been easy, especially sharing a condo with him for six years. But having an unattainable straight best friend in his life is better than losing that friendship altogether.
At 26, Declan Andrews is settled in his life. He’s been a Navy SEAL for eight years, rapidly climbing the ranks and doing everything he can to put as much space between him and his childhood. Being locked tightly in the closet is wearing him down, and seeing his best friend shamelessly flirting with a guy in a bar one night snaps something inside of him.
Will staying in the closet end up pushing Declan’s best friend, and the man he’s loved for most of his life, away for good? Will Ty’s sexy secret be too much for Declan to handle? Or will an on-the-job accident stop everything before it starts?

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
Coming Home is another fantastic book by Carly Marie.
As with At Home, I love Carly Marie's writing style. The story is compelling and the writing is great, with a fluid pace and a great story structure.
It's a tender tale of Declan who's struggling with his sexuality. He's one seriously messed up guy, completely insecure and unsure of who he really is. He grew up with religious, homophobic parents, who have left him scarred.
Declan and Ty have been best friends forever, and have been roommates for years. There is so much depth to their history, and I like the way we slowly learn more and more about them. We get to witness them as they go from friends to lovers. I enjoy the way Declan discovers how he really feels about Ty, and the discovery that he's demisexual.
Their whole story is a lot of fun. The struggles are real, as Declan's so damn scared to tell Ty that's he not straight. His secret has been going on for so long that he's afraid of Ty's reaction. You can feel Declan's fear jumping off the pages.
Ty and Declan have a wonderful best friend teasing and banter between them. If you enjoy good banter like I do, this one will leave you satisfied.
And, damn, Ty wears lace! Seriously, seriously hot scenes. I can't resist a man in lace!
If you haven't read At Home, you'll still enjoy this story a lot. However, I'd recommend also reading At Home if you enjoy age play. And, as we get to spend time with Colt and Derek again, you'll appreciate them better if you know their story. I, for one, am in absolute bliss that we get more time with them.
My favorite scene is when Ty cries. I don't want to give the scene away. You'll have to read it to find out. But it's a tender and beautiful moment. You can feel the love radiating from the page.
My favorite quote has to be "Your happiness is important...Find it."
I love Coming Home. I love everything about it. It's an amazing friends to lovers story. The addition of demisexuality and lace/lingerie is terrific. I will definitely be re-reading this gem! And I am excited to see what else Carly Marie has up her sleeve for this enchanting and kinky series.
