Publisher Description
Her plans to save her small town didn't include a pig playing cupid…or falling for the enemy.
Superstition Springs native Havana Nixon is convinced letting a big developer into their tiny Texas oasis is the only way to save the town, and she's not about to let a newcomer, no matter how gorgeous, derail her plans.
Ex Navy SEAL Caleb Hardy is determined to atone for past mistakes by helping the old woman whose letters got him through his last deployment. When he and his band of brothers drop into her quirky, dying Texas town, only one thing stands in the way of his redemption: Havana.
When Havana's aunt tosses out one of her famous "love predictions"—matching Havana with Caleb—the town is set for the showdown of the century. Havana and Caleb can't even compromise, let alone admit they're falling for each other—will this be the one love prediction that fails to come true?
A Lot Like Home is a small town, closed door military romance with enemies to lovers vibes, chemistry galore and lots of swoony moments, but NO spice for readers who love an alpha male SEAL hero and want less heat.
Tropes:
•Enemies to lovers
•Matchmaking aunt
•She's back home for good this time
•Alpha cinnamon roll SEAL hero
•Wounded warrior (his scars are on the inside)
•She's giving the whole town a glow-up
•Slow burn
•Closed door/kissing only

Fun
Enjoyable, but You introduced us to all the boys. I understand it was the story of one but it was like the others disappeared. Did they sleep for 4-5 months, no one found a job or made friends?
Not enjoyable
An entire team of highly trained seals were booted out because the intel provided was wrong?! I’m really having trouble getting past that. The rest of the plot isn’t much better.
I enjoyed the camaraderie between the team but then they just disappeared for the most part leaving only Caleb, the male protagonist.
I just ended up flipping through to the end. It couldn’t hold my attention. The HEA didn’t make it any better.
I am being generous with 2 stars. I will not be reading anymore from this author.
Nice Story
I enjoyed the read.
