either. In fact, she’s made it her mission to pair the two and enrich both of
their lives, but pairing ornery and aloof August Cotton will take some work.
The last thing August wants is some pushy southern woman occupying his parents’

escaped, but that’s exactly what Olivia intends.

REVIEW
It’s been about 2 weeks since I read The Way Back Home and I am considering a re read, why? Because for me this book was AMAZING! There is a ton of real, raw and down right heart breaking emotions pouring from the pages of this book, it sweeps you a way until you are so consumed with the story that real life ceased to exist.
When I read Towards the sound of chaos last year I wondered how Carmen was going to top that well she did, tenfold. August and Olivia really show you that when it comes to love it doesn’t matter what shape, size, age or gender you are there is always someone out there who will love you faults and all. Where to start with August? Broken is definitely a way to describe him. Throughout the story you are swept away with all him, his highs are high and his lows are low. As sick as this sounds I LOVED his conflicted emotions it really showed the realness of his character, I loved him. Now as for Olivia I hate having to admit this but In the very beginning of the book I turned my nose up at her and thought oh my gawd what a princess she was, turns out I was WRONG so wrong Olivia is strong, persistent and caring she fights hard for the things she believes in and even harder for those she cares about even when it nearly broke her. As a whole The Way Back Home is EVERYTHING I love in a book and so much more. Stories like this one is the reason I love reading!

because he’s too close, and I can’t think straight with the heady scent of his
sweat and sandalwood soap distracting me. It wasn’t my intention to run my hand
over that sweat, to feel the hard-won muscle beneath, but here I am, petting

wedging his hips between my thighs. He hooks a finger in the sash and unties my
robe as if he were opening a gift made just for him. I wrap my legs around his
hips to pull him closer, and that’s all the admission he needs. He threads a
hand through my hair and pulls my neck back to expose the tender flesh to his
mouth. I close my eyes and whisper his name as my whole body turns to flame,
starved for the oxygen that only his touch can bring. His hot mouth trails down
my neck, his hands cup my breasts, squeezing, kneading, and I slide a hand
between us, into the waistband of his shorts. I take his hard length in my
hand, stroking him from base to tip. August grunts as he pushes my negligee out
of the way with frenzied hands. His fingers find me bare and exposed with no
panties.
A tattoo enthusiast, hardcore makeup addict and zombie fangirl, Carmen lives on the sunny North Coast of New South Wales, Australia, where she spends her time indoors wrangling her two wildling children, a dog named Pikelet, and her very own man-child.
A romantic at heart, Carmen strives to give her characters the HEA they deserve, but not before ruining their lives completely first … because what’s a happily ever after without a little torture?
