Meet Me at Home:
Kate Each heart is alike in that it performs certain falls, thunders, stutters, pounds, skips, flutters, thuds, and eventually… stops. What it also does incredibly well is heal. Or so my court-appointed therapist tells me. I have yet to believe her. I lost my husband recently. It was sudden. Completely out of the blue. I’m depressed. Broken. But the holidays are coming up and I’m doing my best to put on a brave face. When I arrive at my best friend’s holiday party, I’m reintroduced to Liam, who just lost his wife. He’s back in town to be closer to his family and he’s sleeping on a futon at his brother’s house. And I have a bunch of bedrooms that aren’t being used. It’s not a big deal to offer him a space to rent in my home. Right? Except that the more time we spend together, the more secrets we share, the more I want. But am I ready? Liam If each heart is alike, we can find common ground with anyone. We all can love and lose. My heart used to beat for my wife, but not anymore. Not since ALS finally took her. So I came home. And then a friend-of-a-friend—a widow—offers me a room for rent in her massive house on the beach. I’d be an idiot not to accept it. But now that I find myself spending time with her, the more I find that home is starting to feel like her . The problem is that we’re not in the same place. How am I supposed to live with a woman I’m falling in love with when she’s nowhere near ready for something that serious? Meet Me at Home is a full-length, interconnected standalone romance featuring strong language, mature themes, and struggles with mental health. While this book is the first in a series, Liam and Kate do get their happy ending within these pages.

This is officially my favorite contemporary romance book of all time.
All others will be compared to this.
Veronica Wynne does an amazing job at depicting grief so profoundly between the two main characters and in such different ways.
The story, the humor, the spice… it all comes together for one amazing conclusion.
ANY fan of romance needs to read this story.

I’m not a cryer. At all.
Like, I hate doing it.
Which sucks because my eyes are perpetually dry and always tearing up, leaving me in a state of continual wet eyes. Like one of those gross little dogs that you have buy those 'angel tear' drops for. Maybe my eyes wouldn't be so dry if I got some.
I am so adverse to reading stories where I know I’m going to bawl at some point. What’s the worst is when they sneak up on you like a damn serial killer and murder your tear ducts (you know who you are…). Knowing all this about me, I went into Veronica Wynne’s, debut novel, Meet Me At Home, well aware of the fact that this book was going to wreck me.
I did this for you, dear readers… for you! Insert sacrificial lamb gif here.
This book is not only beautifully written, smartly paced, and delightfully humorous at times, it’s also exceptionally moving.
A Little Bit Of Plot
Two widows, (one more recently than the other), become roommates for financial and practicality reasons, and slowly fall in love. Kate, having just lost her husband, decides to rent out a room in her large home to pay the mortgage. Having just met Liam through friends, she offers the space as he, having lost his wife a few years previously, has moved back home and needs a place to land, so to speak. Through nights of bourbon and baseball Kate and Liam slowly gravitate to one another, evolving from strangers to friends to lovers. As both are at different points in their grieving processes, the path often stutter stops at times. Will both find the HEA in the place they’d least expect? (What do you think, it’s a romance, duh).
The Compliment Sandwich
The Top Bun (The Pro)
Access to Grief
While most of us have lost someone close to us at some point in our lives, few will experience that loss at such a young age with their life partner. Not to put a category on different types of grief or to normalize what we should consider a ‘common shared’ experience; I imagine that losing someone we are building a life with and whom we rely on financially, emotionally, spiritually, etc, would be devastating and oftentimes debilitating. The same, I imagine, can be said for losing a child.
For those of us who stay away from books that deal with loss of spouse for any number of reasons, this book allows us to experience a very real sense of loss without having suffered the trauma. While most don't necessarily look forward to this experience, I think it allows us to better relate to one another and understand the individual emotional healing process better. Plus, big shout out to therapy!
As most of you know, I’m a historical romance reader, and I can tell you that very few, if any, dealt with a widowed protagonist and have moved me like this book. I’m assuming that’s partially due to relatability and the modern lens we apply to them. I will say, however, that while we only meet both of the former spouses in flashback throughout the book, their losses permeate every interaction throughout. Here Liam describes the moment his wife passes:
This book kicks you right in the feels right out the gate and doesn’t stop. So for those of us who do not have a significant other, we can still relate and feel the loss like it were our own. Which in the long run, is why we read, is it not? We want to experience something from another set of eyes, walk in someone else's shoes, etc… but without the actual bereavement. I know it’s a weird pro, but I think it’s something that stuck with me quite a bit.

The Bottom Bun (The Pro)
Characters Making All the Right Decisions
Does it not frustrate you to read a novel and something goes unsaid or is misconstrued and -VOILA!- 3rd act breakup. We don’t have that same phenomenon here. Wynne crafts her story in a way that every time where a different author would zag, she continually zigs. (For this analogy, zigging is a good thing).
In real life, we make the best decisions for ourselves every day. Very few times have I had massive relationship upsets due to miscommunication. If you are comfortable and trust one another, you talk things out or sometimes you choose the hard path because it’s where you need to be. The same with Kate. I’m singling her out as she has some of the absolute hardest decisions and where other authors would sacrifice her mental growth or coping journey, Wynne chooses what is realistically in her best interest. While we the reader are heartbroken at times, underneath we know that they’re the most emotionally healthy. You know, as Dumbledore would say, "we must choose between what is easy and what is right". Yeah, I just quoted Harry Potter, suck it, y’all.
We also have two characters in VERY different points of grief. Why not fully healed (no one truly is), but in a more recovered situation than Kate, Liam is primed to make big definitive life decisions. However, at the same time, he meets this beautiful but broken person whose journey echoes his own. How can one traverse a relationship with someone, have that thrill of new love, but not completely push them into a relapse? Ultimately, Liam also makes some magnanimous and healthy decisions that will infuriate some.
Also, his wife had a terminal illness, therefore, he had more time to prepare. While I’m not saying that this makes her passing easier on him, he's been living with her death looming over them for longer and he’s moved through a few more stages in the grief cycle.
Here Liam is describing his first Christmas living with Kate and coming home to her breaking down after having decorated the tree:
For a first time novel, this is absolutely gorgeous and composed with the skill of a seasoned writer. Even if angsty fiction isn’t your jam, I would still encourage you to take it on. It’s not overly contrived like many in the same genre. -Not naming names-
Shots fired, I know..fight me.
Parting thought: All I can say is when you get to a certain scene with the letters, there won’t be freaking dry eye to be found. Tissues at the ready, folks.

The day she finally let go, I was reading to her.
One moment, I was reading her favorite passage to her, and the next, the room was oddly silent. There wasn’t a telltale beeping like you’d see in a hospital drama. Even if there would have been monitors to beep, she had a DNR. Do not resuscitate.
But it felt different to me. The air shifted somehow.
Her face… Jill’s face looked different. Peaceful.
And that’s when I realized she was gone. Completely, this time.

Here Liam is describing his first Christmas living with Kate and coming home to her breaking down after having decorated the tree:
I quietly approach her, but not so quietly that I’d startle her and then lower myself to the floor next to her, lying down a couple of feet away from her.
I glance at her out of the corner of my eye and notice the lights reflecting off of wetness on her face, but I don’t point it out. This is her first holiday season without Nick and her wounds are fresher than mine.
So I join her on the floor, looking up at the lights of the three. The lights don’t blink. They’re steady, bright and colorful. A perfect metaphor for what we both need right now, even if we aren’t asking for it.
For a first time novel, this is absolutely gorgeous and composed with the skill of a seasoned writer. Even if angsty fiction isn’t your jam, I would still encourage you to take it on. It’s not overly contrived like many in the same genre. -Not naming names-

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Meet Me at Home is an incredibly realistic take on finding love after tremendous grief. Our two main characters have both lost their spouses and are navigating life after losing their person - at different stages in the grief process.
I find that in a lot of contemporary fiction, grief is skipped or glossed over, but that is not the case here. We go to therapy, we use grieving tools in a "show, don't tell" way.
The MMC Liam was almost * too * perfect, but I decided he was realistic enough when I realized some of the things he said reminded me of things my best friend would say.

Beautifully written!! I’ve purchased the entire Meet Me series. Loved this story of love, second chances, grief and loss. The covers are buttery soft and she offers signed copies with wonderful swag! Check out this fabulous indie author!

This book contains death of spouse, death of child, death ideation, alcohol use, explicit language, explicit intimacy, mentions terminal illness and neglectful parenting.
While this book had strong "don't make me cry" moments, the author ensured you were rewarded by the read. Its a cathartic sad book that culminates with a happy ending.
I was pleasantly surprised by this read! Contemporary romance and 'grieving love interests' are not normally books I enjoy, let alone finish, but this was worth it.
4* and "long week at work ends with a pint of ice cream and your fave sad movie, cry for cleansing" vibes.
((I was given a free ARC copy of this book for an honest review.))

Beautiful representation of living through grief
I knew going in that this book would likely make me cry. And it did not disappoint in the best way possible. Veronica perfectly captured how isolating grief can be, and how despite having best intentions, family and friends can’t always pull you out of that dark place.
Kate’s character goes on a soul wrenching character arc from bitter, traumatized widow to woman who rediscovers who she is with the silent support of a man who is going through the same journey through his own grief. Liam was such a sweet and genuine man that despite his growing attachment allowed Kate to come to terms with her feelings on her own. And he brings All The Things… to the table, and the couch, and the guest bedroom… if you know what I mean.
So grab some tissues, hide from your responsibilities, be prepared to be gutted at points and then led back by a heroine putting her heart on her sleeve toward the end. It is well worth the read.

“Right now he’s everything I need. And I’m not going to think about the consequences. “
“The pain assures me I’m still alive”
This story clings to your heart and stays with you. Both Liam and Kate have lost their spouses and are moving day by day trying ti heal from their losses. Liam lost his wife slowly and Kate lost hers suddenly and we are swept along as we watch them deal with grief and healing.
My heart is constricting remembering the story as I write this review. The journey of the grief and their healing is written so beautifully and in a way that you feel it with them.
Liam is the furthest thing from a red flag man and is the book boyfriend every women truly deserves as a real husband. He has flaws, he has been broken, and I will not hear a single negative word on this character!
Kate is flawed, broken, resistant to heal while wanting to stop hurting. While there are moments I wanted to reach in and smack Kate, it is written in an honest and raw way that you understand why. She makes a choice that is heart wrenching and leaves your heart feeling empty and holding your breath as you turn each page.
“Grieving is a strange process. It ebbs and flows. It’s waves not lines. It doesn’t happen all at once or in a straightforward manner. Well time does help lessen the pain, it doesn’t mean that after a certain period of time, it won’t hurt anymore.”

Can I give this book 10000000000000 stars!? I don’t care what genre you read, you will love this. A story about grief and finding yourself again, getting a second chance to have another great love, and learning what true love is. If I could highlight this entire book, I would have! The writing was so beautifully done, it will tug at your heartstrings for sure. The book will also help you realize what love should look like. I cannot say enough about this book. Just read it! Chapter 23…. Well…. you’ll just have to read it to find out! I cannot wait to watch Veronica’s writing career continue. I will be in preorder for every single book she writes!

A heartfelt book that was a true page turner
I feel in love with Kate and Liam shortly after starting the book. It was hard not to get drawn in deeply with each of their grieving. I enjoyed them each as their own characters but I loved reading how they evolved together as well! It was a true page turner as I couldn’t wait to see how their story ended. I also loved the epilogue!!

A beautifully woven story of grief, growth, resilience and love.
I truly enjoyed the emotional journey the author took us on while delving into Kate and Liam’s lives after the death of their spouses, then entangling their tales together through forced proximity, and placing them through road blocks that pushed the characters toward growth and self compassion.
This contemporary romance leans toward literary fiction. I found the FMCs voice and inner world compelling and wholly understood her motivations.
Overall a deeply heartfelt story for anyone looking for a love story with emotional depth and self love.

Liam and Kate will live rent free in my head for a long time. What a beautiful, tragic and cathartic reading experience. I’m so in love with their journeys. So many highs and lows. I couldn’t put it down. Veronica, your writing is stunning, thank for you giving us Liam and Kate. 🖤

The author does a beautiful job intertwining grief with moving forward. Kate and Liam have a very genuine relationship, and the author portrays that through the novel. Great read!!

This book was so emotional and beautiful. The words and the scenes and the overall story- it was so well thought-out and presented. I FELT this book (and cried more than once).
Add to your TBR if you like:
-Roomates to Lovers
-He Falls First
-Forced Proximity
-Shared Grief and Healing
-Rage Room & Baseball
Veronica, you hit this one out of the park! It was an intricate and winding journey of grief, healing and happiness.
I love the chapter headings!!
The quips and internal thoughts are funny, real, honest, and make it so easy to connect with the main characters. I felt like I really knew them. I also loved that Kate got a chance to grow and heal alone as well, I think that was important!
Liam is a golden retriever, cinnamon roll, green flag all wrapped in one and I love him. He is basically perfect. I will f1ght anyone who disagrees 😂.
“You showed me that it was possible to work through your grief and keep going. Little by little, day by day.”
“Last year felt like the end of something… But this year feels like a new beginning. A new life. New choices. A new path.”
I can’t wait to dive into Meet Me Again One Day (next in the series but can be read as a standalone) so check back for that review !

Literally SUCH a great book- I can’t believe this is her first one!!! I think I cried for the first half of the book but that’s when you know it’s a good one. I can’t wait for her future books!!!
September 22, 2024
Liam and Kate...you have a special place in my heart. This was a story i needed to read on a personal level. It hit home. The grief and the personal growth that both characters went through especially Kate. how is this your first book! such detail and heart went into this book! If I could rate it more than 5 stars I would!
October 9, 2024
This book, was an emotional one. It was soo good. But I swear I was tearing up so much. These characters, and their stories.. it was heartbreaking.. but also amazing to watch them work through their grief, and fall for each other. While this book didn’t have much spice.. it was more closed door.. with the story, you don’t really miss it much. Definitely a good read.

Wonderful
A breath taking story of loss, love, and friendship.
My favourite parts of the books are when the main characters talk to me directly. It feels like they're telling the story and nit the author.

Wow what a beautifully written book. This book is full of raw emotion and feels like you are right there with them. The grief. The love. I’m so glad I picked this up at a local author event ❤️🩹

This was phenomenal! The struggles Kate and Liam go through with their grief journeys and the growth of their love story was beautiful. I laughed, I cried, I lost my mind. Don't sleep on this book.

I just finished this book and I do not have words. Veronica did such an incredible job of capturing different types of grief and different stages of grief in this book. Liam is such a beautiful soul and the way that he just let Kate exist while also supporting her through her grief was unmatched. This book was beautifully written and the story was executed so perfectly.
April 11, 2023
This book is stunning, heartfelt and heartbreaking in equal measures. Kate and Liam’s story broke me. It ripped my heart out and stomped on it, then somehow it put it all back together again. I loved Kate so much. She’s strong and funny and at times delightfully morbid.
TW for grief and loss. If you can handle ugly crying occasionally, if you like books that put you in an emotional chokehold, then Kate and Liam’s journey to healing and finding love again can’t be missed.
Have the tissue box ready though.

Sniffs, I'm not crying, you are.
Veronica, how was this your first book? It was so beautifully heartbreaking.
Kate and Liam both going through their own unimaginable grief find each other and we see a realistic raw representation of grief and moving on after loss.
I wanted to hug them both, I cried and laughed in the same chapter sometimes.
I can't wait to read more!

What a great privilege to read this book! It was humor mixed in with grieving, mixed in with mundane lovely parts of life and hard moments of heartbreak. It wasn't just a love story of two people, but an ode to life itself. I loved this book a lot! It was very sexy, warm and thoughtful.

This would be very cathartic for someone going through the grieving process. And Liam leaves me in a puddle. There were times that I could only read a chapter at a time before taking a break because it was so heavy. This was such a good book, and made me want to hug my husband tight.

Kate and Liam are both widows who meet at a mutual friends party. When Kate, newly widowed offers Liam a place to stay to get him out of his brothers cramped home, it’s because she is in such a dark and lonely place and really just wants to hear noise in her house again.
Liam, whose wife passed several months ago, is further along in his grieving process. But as such he is able to help Kate in some ways, but not others. After several months of living together, they develop a true kinship as grieving widows, and a real friendship shortly after.
And then feelings happen, yet while Kate needs Liam, she’s still not over her husbands tragic and unexpected death, whereas Liam has had years to prepare for his wife’s passing from ALS.
Liam eventually leaves, and Kate is forced to get her life into some semblance of order (court-mandated). When Liam finally returns from his assignment, it takes time a minute but they are both in the right space for a real relationship not built on grief.
This is a beautiful story of grief, loss, trauma, and finding romance and love again.

I just finished Meet Me at Home and I am so glad. I was lucky to receive an advanced reader’s copy. It is a more than lovely and moving novel, so much more.
The grief of Kate over the sudden death of her husband is huge. She is floundering in it, unable to live life. Her pain is expertly expressed in her actions, her words, her expressions. Meeting Liam, also grieving the death of his wife, Kate’s true recovery begins along with Liam’s. The rocky road of their journey is fraught with pull me-push you as the time passes.
I found myself being pulled further and further into the story wishing, wanting, hoping. This is a novel you do not want to miss.
