Editorial Review: Product Description: "You're getting rigid and predictable." Sarah Buchanan would never have used those words to describe herself in a million years. Never. But it's been almost a year since her long-time girlfriend left her for a man and she's suddenly realized that those words now describe her with frightening accuracy, along with one more: boring. Deciding it's time to escape her disaster of a life, at least long enough to turn it around, she takes a temporary position with her company overseas. The hardest part is leaving her blue-eyed dog, Bentley, but at least he's in the capable hands of her family. She thinks. Natalie Fox is the exact opposite of Sarah. She's flighty, spontaneous, and lives in The Now. It's the way her parents raised her and for better or worse, Natalie loves her carefree life. When she finds a stray, skinny, terrified dog with blue eyes outside the bakery and decides to adopt him as her own, things seem just about perfect to her. Take two stubborn, polar opposites with an attraction for one another they're trying desperately to ignore; throw in a couple of wise Italians, a handful of quirky friends, some homemade cannoli, and a far-too-observant dog; stir vigorously, then sit back, relax, and enjoy... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A mild little romance that felt a touch unfinished but was likable enoughThis book was sweet, inoffensive, and a pleasant way to spend a couple of evenings. It was a little tough to get into initially, because we jump right into the rather depressed (and ill-advised) actions of Sarah, who struggles with alcohol-induced issues throughout. But the author kept events and decisions moving along at a rapid pace, which was a relief, because some of the set-up was bland and I didn't want to dwell on it. The best parts of the book (and really all of her books) were ... Read More Rating:  - When different personalities clash...What a delightful Sunday afternoon reading! I really like Georgia Beers' books, with the exception of Thy Neighbor's Wife, and this one delivered as well. I think her strength is coming up with realistic scenarios and filling them with believable characters. I enjoy that so much in contrast to far fetched plots and super-human women that sometimes inhabit lesfic. Her writing is solid, dialogs well written with a feeling of authenticity, for lack of a better word, to them. Read More Rating: - Great READI really loved this book. It took me a day and a half to finish it because I was so glued to the story. If you are looking for a cute, well written lesbian love story this is it! Rating: - Tepid and tameAfter Too Close to Touch and Fresh Tracks, both good romances, I was looking forward to more of the same from Ms. Beers. Her romance, Mine, didn't capture the feeling and Finding Home seems to have missed the mark by an even wider margin. Still. I love dogs, so the canine hero of this book, Bentley, compensated a bit for what was a tepid romance with characters that felt like they were just going through the motions. One of the things I've always liked about Ms. Beers' romances is that they're ... Read More Rating: - Expected more from this oneWhen I sit down to read a novel I expect to find angst, good characters, a story that moves forward with every page, and sex. For those of you who also look for these things, this book doesn't meet the requirements. It's a nice story and the characters are well developed, but, for me, the other things were lacking. (Ok, there was one sex scene, but it came at the very end of the book). From reading her other novels (Turning the Page and Thy Neighbor's Wife), I expected more than I got from this one.
