Closer to 3.5 stars.
A PLACE CALLED HOME was about intense love for a husband whom died, profound friendship/brotherhood and jealousy. It was 1782 and Livi Talbert had buried her husband David. They had been traveling on Wilderness Road to their new home in the Kentucky frontier: a part of the Virginia territory. David was killed by a small band of native Americans. It made no sense at the time.
This book was slightly harder for me to read than Ms. Grayson's previous narratives of historical romance. Livi kept having flashbacks of happiness and turmoil during her marriage to the blacksmith. And all the time in the background was the half-breed, Reid Campbell.
If ever there was the trope, 'Enemies to Friends to Lovers', it was this story. David and Reid came from very different families but grew up together. Thick as thieves, they formed a serious bond early on. Years passed, each coped in their own way but eventually David met Livi: a wealthy man's daughter. They fell in love immediately and married.
Over the years, Reid resurfaced again: sometimes at inopportune times. He never thought Livi was good enough for David and said as much. When Livi and Reid were in the same room, venomous sparks spit into the air. Poor David: he loved both of them.
A PLACE CALLED HOME contained lots of history. Livi was not the easiest character to like but I understood some of why she acted the way she did. Unfortunately, early on, rather than accept David's 'brother', jealousy kicked in. Then there was the fact that Livi was pregnant and had two other children to care for.
I won't reveal more except if you are interested in reading this loosely-based 'series', I suggest you try one of the other stories. If you like the author's style of writing then come back to this book.

"...this isn't a forgiving land. Out here, every choice has consequences. Out here, mistakes come dear."
And who knew about this better than Livi Talbot, the heroine of the story set in Kentucky territory -the American frontier of 1782. The Talbot's were heading west to Kentucky to fulfill David Talbot's dream of owning a piece of land to farm, to have a place to raise a family. But his dream was cut short when he was killed by Indians many miles before reaching the destination. His dream was not shared by his pregnant wife Livi. She didn't feel that she could belong to such a harsh and hostile world but it felt on her and her two children to continue the harrowing journey through the wilderness to fulfill David's dream. The description of the journey was amazingly realistic, vivid, and wrenchingly intense. Livi's struggles for survival of her little family didn't end when they reached the "promised land"- in many ways it was only the beginning. The beginning she would have to reluctantly share with David's best friend and Livi's nemesis, Reid Campbell. You see, Livi blamed Reid for putting the dream of owning a piece of land in Kentucky in David's head. For his part, Reid didn't think Livi was a strong, capable wife David needed. Reid was an interesting character. He was part white, part Creek tribe Indian . "He lived his life in a no-man's-land between two cultures". His birth and his upbringing had made Reid dark and lonely soul. Now, with David gone, the animosity between Livi and Reid sparks more than ever. It would take time, horrific events, and birth of Livi's and David's child to bring these two lonely souls closer together.
This was an absorbing and powerful story of courage and betrayal, of unimaginable hardship and romantic interludes, of jealousy, regrets and second chances.

Originally published in 1995, I started reading in the morning and stayed up until 2AM to finish. I got sucked into this book like whoa! Very old school in that the hero and heroine aren't on page together until 40% in, and the heroine's first husband, while killed in the first chapter, is a prominent figure in the story. The depiction of Natives (raiding Shawnee and Creek) wasn't great, and I will never stop being mad about the outcome of the Eustace and Violet (former slaves whose master is killed by Indians on the trail) storyline. Problematic elements, but a sweeping Old School saga. I was hooked from start to finish.

Hard luck Hannah meets Mr. Insecurity. The heroine's rescue of her son was ridiculous. In fact the whole story was stupid. I'm pretty sure the hero was in love with the heroine's dead husband. Freud could have wrote a book on this relationship and probably did. Only the names have been changed.

What a great book! The characters were fluid and adaptable, which really helped pull the plot and the romance along to a very satisfying ending -- ALWAYS a good thing! Historical fiction is my absolute favorite genre, and this book hit the spot. It pulled at my heartstrings in all the right ways and kept me turning page after page every chance I got to dive into this book in my free time.
Probably the only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because sometimes the details got repetitive and bogged things down for a few paragraphs or so. I love a third person narrative that switches from the different viewpoints of each character so you see things from their individual perspectives. However, I thought that a good bit of this book was hearing thoughts on an event from Livi's perspective and then hearing about the same event from Reid's point of view -- with all or most of the event's details given again. Give me their thoughts like "I can't believe Livi did that risking her life with those Indians!" from Reid and "After how I just saved hi life, I can't believe Reid doesn't think I can survive out here on my own" from Livi without repeating every ACTION that just happened. If this had happened once or twice, this book would get 5 stars from me; unfortunately, this repetition happened numerous times and I just personally didn't care to hear about the same event's details multiple times in a row.
Overall, I did REALLY like this book and would definitely read another book in this series and try a book from another series by this author. Her style was one I definitely enjoyed and the way she formed her characters and her storyline was great.

Home is anywhere the heart finds its peace within love.
Although in 1782 the major conflicts and battles of the American Revolution had ceased in the east, the struggle still persisted to the west of the 13 colonies. It would be almost another two years until the Treaty of Paris would be ratified by the U.S. Congress.
It is during this period and against this backdrop that A Place Called Home by Elizabeth Grayson takes place. Many soldiers who were no longer need in the east began to set their eyes toward the abundant land in the west. Just such a place was the wilderness of Kentucky. So it is in March of 1782, on the trail from Virginia to Kentucky, that we meet David and Livi Talbot, and their two children.
Their family's story, especially Livi's story, kept me engrossed well into the night. This lengthy read is very well written, but it is not for the faint of heart. The challenges of moving west, as conflicts still raged and hardships were the norm not the exception, is what makes this book so emotional with both joy and sadness. The characters seem so real and the plot is beyond compelling. The Talbot's story seems more like a biography instead of a romance because the romantic side is eclipsed by daily struggles on the frontier.
Content alert: Although I really liked this novel, I did not like the swearing and especially the religious expletives. There is also a few moderately described sexually intimate scenes and frontier violence.

An incredibly powerful story that encompasses the ability of one woman to break out of her predetermined mold to become a person that stands for what she believes and to fight for those she loves. As with all this author's writing, the book is well written with beautiful descriptive passages and a plot that left me sitting on the edge of my chair. I found that I want unable to put the book down once I started as I became totally engrossed in Livi's struggles. David's death at the early stages of their travels to Kentucky leaves Livi with no choice other than to press on, especially as she has nothing to go back to. Getting to her destination proves to be more daunting than she could even have believed, but with her young son Tad at her side, giving words of wisdom far beyond his years, she breaks through every barrier facing her. When they finally arrive at their destination and discover that David has already put up a cabin for them, Livi is relieved, only to have it dashed when his friend and partner, Reid, appears on the horizon, claiming that with David's death the land claim and cabin belong to him. A battle of wills ensues, but as so many before them have found, the boundary lines between love and hate are very finely drawn. This amazing book is a standalone and comes to a beautiful and hopeful conclusion. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

A place called home is the journey and travails of a young widow, Livi. David Talbot set out to the west of Kentucky with his pregnant wife and two kids to fulfill his dreams of owning lands and farming, but unfortunately was killed on the way. Left alone with her two kids, Livi continued on the journey with her two kids, they faced many dangers on the way but forged ahead against all odds only to learn that the land was not really hers but her dead husband and his friend, Reid, had an agreement to forfeit the land upon the death of either one of them. This further intensified her hatred and dislike of Reid. But as the story progresses, we were able to see the transformation of their relationship from hatred to friendship and then to lovers. The book is quite interesting but not easy to read at the beginning for some chapters before I got the hang of it. "I received this book from eBook discovery. I voluntarily review this book.

A Place Called Home (The Women's West Series, Book 3)
When. Olivia and David first met, it was love at first sight, almost. Olivia had no idea just how far she would go, or what she would have to do to keep all that she loves safe. This was a very good read that I just couldn't put down. BRAVO 👏👏BRAVO!!!!

Romance
So, I loved the story, and characters. Editing needs work. A few love scenes, that were got too steamy for my liking, so I skipped them. Some cussing.

One of the best
Too many romantic western stories are a lot of fluff and soap. This one has depth in the characters and in the plot and story. Loved it.

The book opens with Livi Talbot losing her husband while on the trail west to Kentucky in 1782. Because she has nothing to return to in Virginia, Livi, her two children and the baby she carries continue on the Wilderness Trail. On this difficult trip, several problems impede their travels, including smallpox.
Livi's husband David is best friends with someone Livi can't stand, a half-breed named Reid Campbell. There's been conflict between Reid and Livi throughout her marriage to David; Reid does not think she is good enough for his best friend.
When Livi and the children arrive at the farm and cabin in Kentucky, Reid wants them gone. Livi demands the right to stay in the cabin until her baby is born and the crops that her family (and help) planted is harvested. Reid reluctantly agrees; he knows that Livi is not strong enough to handle the challenges of Indians, the previously untilled land, the children and her pregnancy.
Reid makes his living as a trapper; he is accepted by neither white society nor his Creek tribe. He has been able to handle white society by going his own way and avoiding entangling responsibilities.
Elizabeth Grayson has crafted a wonderfully-written story. In the beginning, Livi hates Kentucky and Reid Campbell. However, she has no choice other than to live in Kentucky and share the property with Reid. It is interesting that Reid learns that he has underestimated Livi from the comments of others. She does not explain to Reid what she and the children endured to get to Kentucky. This is a gritty story; wonderful descriptions are interrupted by watching awful trials and conflicts.

Olivia "Livi" Talbot left Virginia with her family she did not know what kind of an adventure she had signed up for. Nor was I quite prepared for what she and the family went through. She was raised into a family that had servants and the women did not work. She married David Talbot whom was a blacksmith. So she learned how to work but still was not quite where she needed to be when she started her trip to Kentucky. In the end she did become the woman that she needed to be for her family in Kentucky. She toughened up and learned how to take care of things. Reid Campbell is a man who fits in with no one except for David Talbot. He is the person that kept encouraging him to go west and find land. That land is where Livi and David were headed too when David was murdered. Livi managed to stay strong and keep her family together and finish out the trip. Reid is a man who thinks a lot and feels very beholden to things in life. He is an adventurer who is caught off guard at the news of his best friends death. Reid feels that he needs to take care of Livi and the kids because that is what David would have wanted. Both Livi and Reid have never gotten along so the story has a lot of arguing between two stubborn people.
Some of the things that happened I did manage to guess but several caught me off guard. There is no way I would guess that would have happened. And as some of the bad things that happened I kept hoping please don't let this happen to them they have been thorough a lot already. It had a lot of action and adventure in it as well as some romance. All around pretty good read. I only put it down because I did have things I had to go do.

Five (5) stars for Elizabeth Grayson’s A Place Called Home, the story of two people yearning to belong. Livi Talbot loses her husband on the trail west to the wilds of Kentucky in 1782, but she pushes on to the land her husband cleared. She doesn’t belong there; she isn’t strong enough for the challenge. Her husband’s half-breed friend, Reid Campbell, has told her of her short-comings countless times. But Livi must risk the lives of her two children and the one she carries. She has nothing to return to.
For his part, Reid straddles both worlds, a foot in both, belonging in neither. He’s too savage for white society and too white for the Creek tribe. He feels free in the frontier, trapping and making his own way. No responsibilities, no disapproving stares.
While reading about Livi’s journey, at places my heart thundered in my chest. Along the trail, anything can happen, just as it might once she reaches the hostile terrain of the frontier. This is a realistic account, told with great skill. The descriptions are so rich and sumptuous, I experienced the beauty and the grinding work of settling the wilderness along with the characters. The love story between Livi and the land parallels that between Livi and Reid. She despises both Reid and the land at first and has to understand their complexities before she can appreciate them.
Peppered with historical landmarks and events, this visit to the past satisfies on multiple levels.

With lush description and spectacular writing, A Place Called Home by Elizabeth Grayson takes the reader on the trail to the western frontier of the 1780s--Kentucky. In a time of Indians and single-shot guns, of smallpox and wagon trains, of starvation and treachery, danger could also be found in everyday life: skirts catching fire, dying from a broken bone, or “simply” childbirth.
Readers who love historical fiction can immerse themselves in a solid story told with flare and skill. However, one doesn’t have to know anything about the happenings of the time to enjoy this tale. The possibility of romance is entwined with the heroine’s adventures. Ms Grayson’s portrayal of Livi Talbot and her determination to reach the land her husband died for had me holding my breath as she encountered dangers at every turn. The grudging relationship she forges with her long-time nemesis is believable and ultimately heart-wrenching. Watching her grow and blossom despite her failures puts this book on my keeper shelf.

A heartwarming story of a woman's amazing journey to seek the promise of the vast new frontier. For Livi Talbot she has to get her family to Kentucky.
Livi already buried her husband, David who was killed by the Indians. Emotional and distraught Livi perseveres on this journey with her two young children,and her third and last child from David on the way.
Mountaineous terrain, treacherous rivers to cross testing their strength, and survival instincts. They are abandoned from their pack train, because one of the children comes down with small pox. David's best friend, Reid Campbell arrives at their home in Kentucky. Indians are a constant threat to survive in the wilderness. This is a very compelling journey of perservance, for a woman alone and her two children who overcome many dangerous obstacles to get to their destination. Absolutely a non-stop page turner.I received this book for free from Ebook Discovery. I volunteered to review it and this is my honest review.

Take a tough piece of meat and tenderize it
When a master chef takes a delicate piece of meat but wants to keep the delicate flavor, he gently sprinkles condiments on it to still preserve the goodness and delicious flavor. This is what the author has done in her writing. A few well placed words at the proper time is all one needs to know about what is about to happen in any given situation. Love, fear, not thinking she could go on anymore. Fighting with everything she has and doesn't even know how strong she really is. She ends up giving strength and incite to that delicate hunk of man who seems so tough. The is the makings of a truly gifted author. Historical romance at its best. Try it and savor the moment.
