BLURB

Twenty years ago, Paxton Marshall realized he liked boys, in particular his brother’s best friend, Brad. Pax now runs a successful art gallery, but he’s never found anyone who stirs his heart the way Brad did.

Brad Watson is back in town for his twentieth high school reunion. However, the celebration of long-ago days is the last thing on his mind. He’s there for one reason: to finally tell Pax how he feels.

Pax is shocked to learn Brad is not only gay but also interested in him. Dating a man in Ames Bridge isn’t as simple as it sound, though. In order to make a relationship work, both men will have to bolster their courage and alter their expectations.

REVIEW

My Rating -  4 Stars!

Silvia Violet's The Past Comes Home, is a heart-warming brother's best friend romance. The second book in her Ames Bridge series, it's easily read as a standalone

After secretly crushing on one another, twenty years later, Brad's back in town for a reunion. With a second chance at their feet, he and Pax end up confessing their feelings for each other. I love the way it's handled, finding it realistic and believable.

It's a tender tale of choosing love and fighting for the one you love. It's a tale about overcoming homophobia and living your truth. It's definitely sad that there's been so much wasted time.

Brad and Pax clearly have feelings for one another. That is never in doubt. I love how their feelings spanned many years, and they are now learning about this current version of each other. And even better is seeing Brad claim his truth.

As I'd expect from Silvia Violet, The Past Comes Home is an excellent second chance like romance. As usual, her writing is smooth, with great development and lovable characters. I definitely recommend this one when you're looking for something sweet.
