What a great book! This is Rachel's debut novel and I have to say it is a fabulous one! This story is well-written story with the perfect blend of drama, romance & humor. I did not want to put this book down. It had me laughing, cussing, stressing out and also had moments that made me tear up. I loved the emotions I was able to FEEL throughout the story. And let's not forget the steamy love scenes! I was fanning myself quite a few times. :)The main characters were amazing! Within the first chapter I was so enamored with Justin that I wanted to put him in my pocket and claim him as my own. I could feel the love. He was very sexy with a little bit of alpha in him that had me swooning often. Lily was a sassy little spitfire who you can't help but connect with and care about.I highly recommend this well-written, 'feel-good' book. An easy five stars from me. I look forward to reading more from this author!

I always scoop up the celebrity romance novels first, they are my bread and butter, and this book by Rachel Smith did not disappoint. The characters were instantly likeable-- soulful, endearing and realistic. This was a great twist on celebrity fame - wrapped up with all the good, the bad and the very ugly that comes with that lifestyle.Our leading man, Justin, delivers some swoon worthy moments. He is probably the dreamiest country boy next door your momma would approve of served with a side of just enough alpha hotness.Our heroine, Lillian, has her moments of stubbornness and sweetness. What I liked most about her character is seeing how she developed through the story. Coming back home after being in the spotlight for so long -- how do you come back and be "just normal?" Smith did an excellent job bringing that to life.Home was well-written. I loved the flashbacks which flowed seamlessly and were woven intricately throughout as the story progressed.I look forward to reading more from this author.

Home is the debut novel from Rachel Smith and a great one at that. Home is a sweet second chance romance with a HEA. It is the story of Lillian/Lily Rae/Lil and her dream to become a country music singer and the road that led her to her new dream/home.Rachel writes a very believable story that does make you stop and wonder if this is what it's really like in Nashville. For some, I do believe it is unfortunately. She also does a great job of making the transition between her two dreams and pulling it all together.

I absolutely loved this book! The way the characters were written and the flow of the writing made it impossible to avoid getting sucked into the story. I felt the emotion of each character and could clearly see this story as Rachel Smith expertly laid it out in front of me. I cried, I laughed, I yelled....I fell in love with this book! If you are looking for the type of book that makes you sit in your own driveway, car running, reading on your phone for over an hour because you have to find out what happens next (yes, I did that!), I would highly recommend you read this book...Can't wait to read what this author has coming out next!

From the very first page I was hooked! A true page turner! I even let out a few gasps as I read… I also experienced many moments where I had a goofy grin on my face. I was totally transported into this story. I love the way that the author switched points of view so that the reader could understand what both main characters were thinking and feeling… I look forward to reading more by this talented author!

I read the whole book in one sitting! I was drawn in quickly and just couldn't put it down. I loved the romance and suspense, and how it stirred lots of emotions in me. Lots of laughs and tears! I would recommend this book as a light, fun read for anyone looking to be transported into Lil's complicated, yet simple world! So excited to read other works by this author.

A wonderful read, you won't want to put down! Romance, suspense, and the lasting love of family. It is as if you are in the small Iowa town and the characters are your very own friends and family. You will not be disappointed with this amazing first novel by new author Rachel Smith. I hope she has already started her next book!!!!

I would absolutely recommend this book. The author did an amazing job describing the characters. You can't help but love - or hate - each one! The story is beautifully told, with every emotion from belly laughs to tears springing up throughout. Can't wait to read more from this new author!
