Coming Home: Book 3 in the Forgiveness Series
When an unintentional bachelorette is forced on a dating TV show, will sparks fly, or will her family secrets ruin everything?
Anne LaSal was ready for a change. Estranged from her family and disheartened after her best friend’s wedding, she felt like she was coasting through life without a plan of her own. So, when a friend nominates her for a reality dating show, she concedes. Although a skeptic, Anne is ready for her adventure. What could be better than an all-expenses-paid trip into the lap of luxury? What Anne doesn’t expect is that the bachelor onset is none other than her television crush - actor, Chad Chambers.
Chad Chambers doesn‘t easily fit the Hollywood mold, but that’s what makes him so sought after - as his rugged good looks and southern charm have made most of America fall in love. He’s agreed to being the new love interest on ‘Broadcast Affair’ as his agent said it would open more doors for his career. However, he secretly wishes to connect with a nice girl... someone normal... someone like Anne LaSal.
Will Anne’s family drama ruin the beginning of something beautiful? Can Chad save her from a danger lurking around the corner?

Based on the previous books 'Finding Kylie' and 'Facing Redemption', this book focuses on Chastity's best friend and maid of honor at her wedding, Anne LaSal. Anne and her younger sister Grace, whose parents were killed in an automobile accident at the age of 16, were taken in by their grandparents – well-to-do aristocrats who had very formal views on how children should behave. Because of extreme restrictions like walking and acting in certain ways and especially being forbidden to speak of her parents, Anne grew more rebellious. When forced with an ultimatum to attend an Ivy League school or be cut off completely; including any contact with her little sister, she left for California and returned back to her roots.
A survivor at heart, Anne is coaxed into becoming an entrant on the reality television show called Broadcast Affair. After initially balking, she was convinced to go to the show by Chastity. This way she could not only show up the best man at the wedding who submitted her name, but also determined to expose how real these reality shows are.
Unbeknown to Anne, the eligible bachelor on Broadcast Affair is Chad Chambers; one of the hottest leading men on TV who not only had good looks, but was regarded as a genuinely nice and humble guy. This caused a large number of women to compete for the show. The producer, Ned, was concerned that while these women would provide competition for Chad's interest, but not much drama for the show. That is until he met Anne.
Chad knew from the first moment that he met Anne that she was the one. The problem was he was under contract to do a certain number of shows for the dating show. So how can he convince Anne that she is the only one for him with he has to try to seduced 20 different women against the backdrop of a national audience.
'Coming Home' is really about Anne and her ability to come to terms with the things that have shaped her past; the death of her parents, the inability to live in the elite world of her grandparents, the failed relationships, and most of all the alienation of her little sister Grace. But it is more than that. It is also about being willing to give up everything she desires in the world to come to the rescue of her sister and yet trust that things that are meant to be will become reality.
'Coming Home' is a book where the story just comes together. When there is that combination of characters, story, and feel that creates that entertaining read. It is engaging with a storyline that not only will keep you entertained but the ending has so many twists and turns, that will keep you guessing until the final page. Still, as good as the story is, to me, to me the true test of a book is the characters and how believable they are and 'Coming Home' does not disappoint. Highly recommended.

What a fun book. I loved it from the beginning.
Ann is a perfect character. A reluctant player in a dating game show. Her personality, unpredictable, strong and confident, makes this a twisty-turny, out of the normal read. -and did I say fun?
"Coming Home," is now on the top of my list as one of the best I've read. I found myself at times, laughing, other times sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what's to happen next.
This book had a roller coaster of emotions. Buckle your seats for the ending. It's a twist you'll never see coming.
There's no doubt I'll be looking for more of Kimberly's books. Her writing style moves from one POV to another in a smooth transition. I enjoyed it. It was refreshingly different from other books I've read.

Another 5 stars...they continue to add up with every new book in this wonderful series!!
Although Chastity is still my favorite, I can't help but have a soft spot for her best friend Anne, her character is so spunky, strong, talented and captivating...you can't help but love her!!
Her story of finding her one true love as well as her sister will keep you riveted.
As with the first two books...you will not want to put this down until you reach the last word of the last page!!
Just a truly excellent story and wonderful characters!

This is BOOK 3 in the series (Finding Kylie, Facing Redemption). It is the story of Chastity's friend Anne on a reality TV show. It is a sweet romance story. This is a christian fiction but it isn't too in your face. I liked the story and there is a preview of the next book which looks like the action takes place concurrent to this book. I think that more back story of Anne's sister is needed in this book to fully appreciate what is going on during the last quarter of the book.
