Feels Like Coming Home
Forever and always.
I would keep him at a distance in order to protect my heart for good this time.
I would be smart this time. I would protect my heart this time. I wouldn’t fall for him again.
But almost eighteen years later here he is again, staring back at me as I try to survive the hardest loss of my life.
I had walked away from him ten years ago and vowed to move on with my life.
The eyes I looked for every day on the playground, the cafeteria, in the hallway, and that night during our freshman year in college.
when we grew up together. His eyes pierced straight through every logical thought I was trying to form.
His face was the same as the last time I looked at it, except older and more mature. He had stubble along his strongly formed jaw and his hair was longer than he normally kept it
Tall, built, undeniably hot.
I looked at him without saying anything, taking in everything that he was now.
Standing a few feet away from me was Camden Johnson. Professional football player, recent trade to the local pro team, and the boy I grew up with. Not just the boy I grew up with, but the boy who I had loved since I was in seventh grade.
I turned my head to follow the voice and the air got caught in my throat when I saw him.
It couldn’t be him, could it?
I almost thought I had made it up when I heard him call out my name. But when he repeated it for a second time, I knew I wasn’t hallucinating. No one had called me Jones in over ten years and only one person had ever called me that in my lifetime.
”Jones?”
A Peek into Feels Like Coming Home
Deep emerald and perfectly fit for his face, exactly as I remembered them.
"This book covered so many things perfectly. I felt all the feelings with Haley (the FMC.) 🥹 I hope I’m as good of a friend as Piper.😭 best book bff award!!I wanted to shake some sense into Then Cam, but Now Cam was *swooon*🤌🏼If you love 2nd chance romance, best friends to lovers, crying, sports romance, or feeling mushy— add Feels Like Coming Home to your TBR 💛”
“My top FAVORITE 2nd chance romance.👏🏼”
“I really enjoyed the story and the premise of the story, childhood besties who fell out of love and found one another again. I loved the banter between friends, and I loved their dynamic. I think that mental health aspects were depicted well, too. The mark of a great book is the feelings that it makes me feel, and this had me crying, giggling, smiling, feeling butterflies, ALL of it. I think that Rebecca will only grow as an author, as I saw growth in this book as I read my way through it, and truly cannot wait to see what else she will put out.”
“This was incredibly well done.”
“Haley and Camden have to be the most beautiful couple i’ve ever read. In this second chance romance, you see Haley go through the grieving process, with the help of her family, her best friend, Piper (who is an absolute icon btw) and mr. golden retriever himself, Cam. The positive therapy representation, the accurate representation of panic disorder and anxiety, truly made me feel seen, being someone who suffers from both. I always appreciate when it’s done in a tasteful and accurate manner. Genuinely could not recommend this book enough.”
“This was truly a breath of fresh air that I didn’t even know I was searching for.”
“This book broke me but I was slowly put back together. Haley's experience was so raw, honest, and relatable. Rebecca did a fantastic job tackling very emotional and challenging topics and accurately portrayed some aspects of anxiety and panic disorder. Haley's grief hit me right in the feels, and I enjoyed witnessing her journey toward healing. Cam made the ultimate mistake when he was young and dumb, but I loved his dedication to making things right.”
“I loved everything about Cam and Haley's relationship.”
“It's like Rebecca reached into my soul and crafted a story that had me laughing, crying, and swooning in equal parts. Hayley and Cam? They're not just characters; they're friends I wish I could hang out with. Every time I thought I'd reached a good stopping point, Rebecca threw in another twist that kept me glued to the pages. This book is a must-read. It's already earned a permanent spot on my TBR list (because I’m coming back). Girl, get me another book ASAP! Wherever your next book takes us, consider me eagerly awaiting its arrival!”
“I couldn't put this book down for the life of me.”
