Tom spearheads an effort to form a team so Davey can continue to play the game he loves.

Are you getting sleepy?

Maybe you read Love Comes Home recently? If not, do. It's better than Ambien.



Let's get this out of the way: This book is NOT a romance; it's a made-for-TV-special about a 10-year-old boy who goes blind and his dad, Greg, who loves him more than anything and tries to keep their lives from crumbling to pieces. Oh, and Greg meets a man named Tom at a party.

Tom is rich and take charge and a do-gooder; he talks about his grandpa a lot. Tom also really digs Greg; god knows why, since Greg is whiny, defensive, and dull as garden dirt. There's almost no sex on page here at all (some kissing and petting, and one very short scene at the end that hints at penetration), but the first time Tom makes out with Greg, Greg gets really scared, and Tom has to talk him off a ledge. Breathe, Greg. You are a 30-something-year-old gay man and not a virgin. It's called a cock. See? OK.

There are secondary characters from the first two books (which I didn't read, but I could tell by the sheer amount of sap involved that it was important we know that these people are still damn happy). There's a crazy, bitchy ex and beep baseball, but what's lacking is chemistry between the MCs, steam, and actual relationship development. Everything was sappy sweet but so fucking boring, I just...

huh? Sorry, lost my train of thought.

I'm the first to admit that I have a BIG soft spot for Andrew Grey. This is my 32nd story from Andrew so that definitely says something. He's my go-to author when I want to read something sweet with emotional pull, a little bit of sexiness and a nice happy ending.

Love Comes Home didn't disappoint. Perhaps not as good as the first book in the series Love Comes Silently, but great just the same.

In Love Comes Home, Davey is a little boy who is going blind. His father, Greg, is doing his best to cope. He has a supportive network of friends (little glimpses of the guys from the past books in the series) but it is new friend, Tom, who really helps both him and Davey.

There is some romance but this story primarily sends a message about dealing with the challenges life faces you. It is about how a father copes with the stresses of watching his child deal with something as traumatic as blindness. It is about looking for new alternatives rather than giving up on life. The whole concept of Beep Baseball was fascinating.

Here's a link to a YouTube clip about Beep Baseball. It's pretty amazing!

What a great addition to the Senses series. As with the first two books, I found myself smiling a lot, on top of getting teary-eyed quite a bit. I adored Davey and his little boy ways. Greg is the perfect dad, who only wants to do right by his son. Tom just wants to be part of their little family.

Once again, I loved revisiting characters from the previous books. I look forward to the next in the series. I definitely hope to see more of Skip in the future.

Outstanding book. Highly recommended.

This is the third book in Andrew Grey’s incredibly touching and fascinating series about physically challenged men and their families. As much as I loved the first two books, this one, for me, raises the bar to a new level. Dealing with being mute (like Patrick), or being blind from birth (like Howard) is difficult enough. But imagine going blind when you’re only ten? That is what Davey goes through in the book, and his entire life changes, but there is anther layer to this story. Davey’s father, Greg, has to watch his son go through losing his sight, and his way in life for a while. He is one of the narrators of the story, and seeing what it does to a parent to have their child suffer like that, seeing his helplessness and anger, touched me deeply. As bad as it is to go through losing your sight yourself, reading Greg’ story makes it clear how hard it is for those who love the affected person.

Greg is an architect, he moved away from the city so he and his son could have a quieter life, and he loved to play baseball when he was a boy. Like many parents, he wants his son to love the game as well, so he makes sure Davey plays on a regular basis. Greg isn’t pushy or anything but it is important to him. When he discovers that Davey is going blind due to a genetic defect, he is devastated. Grieving the loss just like Davey grieves it is one thing, but the anger about the unfairness of it all and his own inability to protect his son make it worse. Greg wants to help Davey, and the temptation to do this by wrapping Davey in cotton and doing everything for him is huge. Luckily Tom, the man Greg met and started dating, is there to pull him out of it and make him realize the best kind of help is to teach Davey how to be independent.

Tom is an amazing guy. He loves to help, but is totally selfless about it. He may have grown up with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, but he has learned about love and what is really important from his grandfather who started the business that made the family rich, yet maintained a very down-to-earth attitude. Greg catches Tom’s interest when they meet at on of Patrick and Ken’s parties, and even when Greg starts to battle the problem of redefining his life around Davey’s blindness, Tom does not give up. Instead, he is supportive, does research, and comes up with all sorts of ideas that will help Davey deal; the most fascinating of which is beep baseball. Tom’s ability to keep a cool head and be there for Greg is what saves Greg and Davey from a lot more heartache.

Greg and Tom manage to deal with quite a few crises together, but the most important one is when Greg’s ex-wife comes to town and throws around big promises of a radical procedure that might save Davey’s sight—despite the opinion of all of the other doctors who have examined Davey. I loved that challenge to Greg’s barely achieved new way of thinking, and at the same time, it was a nerve wracking test of Greg and Tom’s relationship.

If you liked the first two books and are ready for a slightly different, no less amazing, perspective, if two men whose barely beginning relationship gets tested by tragedy and an ex with a selfish and thoughtless plan, and if you’re looking for a thoughtful, touching, and very emotional read, then you will probably like this novel. I loved it and am really glad there is another volume for me to look forward to!

OK, I have to admit when it comes to kids I’m a complete sucker! Loved this story, especially little Davey and his tenacity to deal with a disability that would floor most of us.

Greg is a gay dad, after a marriage that was doomed to failure before it started the one good thing that came out of this was his son Davey. I can appreciate this as many gay men bend to the social pressures and try to conform, but it really is only a short lived thing and inevitably doomed to disaster before it starts. In Greg’s case it wasn’t helped by the fact that his ex-wife and Davey’s mother was a complete bitch to boot. Greg has total custody for Davey and after Davey’s mother leaves and rarely contacts her son, then he is obviously better off with his dad. This is such a loving relationship and you could feel the love that Greg has for his son and the other way around. I guess in situations like these kids can be better off with their dads and it definitely is in this case. Davey is the centre of Greg’s world, but constantly worries when he notices his son’s sight becoming worse and progressively faster. Davey is a keen baseball player in the Little League and loves the game and has talent. however his failing sight is making things more difficult to play.

One evening he meets Tom at a party given by friends of his, Ken and Patrick, at this party he also expresses his fears about his son’s deteriorating sight, Howard and Gordy, Howard is blind and can only well understand Greg’s fear. Although Tom shows his interest in Greg, Greg is always reticent of dating, being in a relationship, having a partner as a lot of men are frightened off about the fact that Greg has a son. Well, I suppose I can only too well understand Greg’s fears here. His son comes first and always will, so the partner will have to accept that fact and deal with it. Either making Davey part of his world too or not, there is no room in Greg’s life without Davey. Tom seems nice, but Greg plays a cool game of keeping his distance to protect himself and his son. But then he receives the news from Davey’s ophthalmologist that the problem with his eyes is genetic and Davey will eventually go blind. O.M.G I could have wept there and then for both of them. The anguish and realisation that this was the future for Davey almost broke my heart. As I said when it comes to kids then I’m a push over. It must be every parents nightmare. I guess it’s bad enough if your child is born blind, but then at least they can start to learn to live and cope and have had nothing taken away. But poor Davey, having something like his sight taken away from him. A complete horror scenario for parent and child alike.

Greg goes out on a date with Tom and Davey goes to stay with Ken and Patrick for the day. However, they get a frantic phone call to say that Davey fell and bumped his head. Nothing major, but Greg had better come running. He arrives to find that Davey’s remaining sight has gone and as the doctors diagnosed is for all intense and purposes blind. Geez, to say I had a lump in my throat was an understatement.

Davey now has to start to learn to cope and manage with his disability. There are good days and bad. He goes through the whole spectrum of emotions, grief, frustration and anger, along with his dad. I went through all of them myself while reading. Here Tom starts to become a pillar of strength and support to them both. Tom comes from a rich family and has money. He has the brilliant idea after hearing about beep baseball, a form of baseball designed for the visually impaired and allows them to play baseball. The equipment is expensive, but he buys it and gives Davey a new lease of life and hope that he can still do the things he like to do with or without his sight. I must admit I had never heard of this myself until reading this book, but what a wonderful idea. The ball and bases beep sending out sound signals that can be followed and thus enabling people with sight disabilities to be able to play. This where Tom starts to make his impact on Greg’s and Davey’s life with Greg falling for Tom even more.

Tom has to prove to Greg that he really wants to be not only part of Greg’s life but also that of Davey’s. Tom begins to love and adore the young man and very soon Davey forms a friendship with Tom that even warms Greg’s heart. this development was so nice to see. Tom until now had only been out with shallow characters and they really only wanted for his money, so even he himself had issues with trusting and loving. But he finds in Greg and Davey values that he until now hasn’t found and falls head over heels for Greg. However, once again it’s a slow burn romance as Greg does not want to anything that will upset Davey. I think this is perfectly normal and understandable and only shows what a loving and fantastic dad Greg is.

Davey is taking classes to help him cope with his blindness, but the time comes where they have to inform his mother out of respect and duty. This idea Davey doesn’t like at all, but Greg says that she has a right to know. So the ice queen arrives with some fancy doctor in tow. My oh my, I could so understand why Davey didn’t want to see her. What a controlling, self-centred cow. Her son is a complete stranger to her and she expects to march in and take control. This provided for some real family drama, as Greg tries to remain respectful because of Davey’s sake that she is his mother, but on the other hand no one really needs a mother like that. Tom again remains a tower of strength for both of them and she starts to change her attitude, realising that if she wants to be part of Davey’s life she is going to have to learn to be a loving and caring mum first before anything else. Tall order for her.

In the meantime Davey latches on to Tom’s friend, Skip, who is visiting from New York and also helps Davey in his own way by just accepting who he is and not treating any differently because of his disability. Eventually as perceptive as kids are Davey realises what his dad feels for Tom and in his own way tells his dad it’s OK as he really likes Tom too. This whole situation was well handled and realistic, there was no way Greg would let anyone into his own life if Davey didn’t like them or felt that they would only upset him. I just loved Davey, your typical ten year old, but continuously surprising his dad with some quite adult insights at times for his age.

“You know it’s OK for Tom to spend the night,” Davey said. Greg nearly drove off the road. “I know about the birds and the bees. You like Tom and he likes you. It’s okay if you want to do the dance with no pants.”

“Davey, where did you hear that?”

“Television,” he answered giggling. “That’s how you feel about Tom, isn’t it?”


Absolutely, brilliant. Andrew gets the voice of a ten year old exactly right in my opinion and makes Davey one adorable kid. Definitely brought out all the paternalistic feelings in me that’s for sure.

For me this book was more than an M/M Romance. Yes, the romance was there with Greg and Tom, it was a slow burn romance but that was perfectly understandable given Greg’s situation. But this book was about dealing with a disability, about being a loving and caring parent, about an adorable kid and his coping and managing after being struck by such a disability, about the support friends provide in times of need and above all love ~ love of a family (traditional or not), love of friends and of course the love between two people.

This contemporary M/M romance is a slow building, delightful love story.

Greg is a single father with full custody of his ten-year old son, Davey. He is an architect, with a thriving business, and had been scouted for the Major leagues in baseball as a young man. He is also gay. When the story opens, Greg is at Davey's little league game, but Davey struggles at-bat. Another spectator, who happens to be an ophthalmologist, suggests getting Davey's vision checked. The prognosis, after many tests, is bleak: Davey is going blind. This shatters Greg, and Davey.

At a picnic, Tom meets Greg and is attracted, not only by Greg's appearance, but with the compassion and love Greg shows to his son. See, Tom was raised with everything a life of privilege offered, except parental affection. He was largely cared for by nannies, and he longs to find a loving relationship that would include children. To date, all the men Tom has dated were attracted to his money. He reaches out to Greg and they decide to try dating.

Witnessing the anguish Greg has for Davey's lost vision, and the loss of his fun-loving games, Tom does some research. It turns out there's some new team-style games that visually impaired kids/adults are playing. One of these is 'beep baseball' and Tom dives in to assemble local support for a league. Greg is blown away by Tom's effort to help Davey acclimate to his new blindness. In fact, he's a bit suspicious of Tom's motives.

All questionable motives aside, Tom really just wants to spend more time with Greg. Their fledgling relationship is tried and tested when Greg's ex-wife arrives, following years of neglect, to 'save Davey's vision' with a miracle gene therapy cure. Greg is hesitant to discount any chance of reversing Davey's blindness, but the risks clearly outweigh the potential for healing. And, Tom is there to help Greg make the hard decision.

Plus, Tom is great at making Davey feel like a normal kid. He's the kind of guy Davey would like to see his dad settle down with, in fact.

It's a slow build into the physical. Tom wants to take things slow to make sure he has real feelings for Greg, and Greg is overwhelmed with the responsibility of caring for a newly-blind child. I really appreciated the author's sensitivity in holding off, and in having Tom fully commit to a real relationship rather than jumping into bed.

Both characters were very well-developed and the arc of Davey's transition from poorly sighted to completely blind--and as a functional blind person--was heart-remanding and terrifyingly interesting. I loved he community that Greg and Tom shared--gay, but also some had visual or speech deficits. I haven't read the two previous books in this series, but I strongly suspect that other couples' romances had been featured. This is a gentle romance with steady growth of both protagonists into a relationship that seems likely to flourish. I really enjoyed it!

Original Blog Post: http://headouttheoven.blogspot.com/20...

Love Comes Home is a story of a boy's love for baseball, a father's love for a son who is blind, and a man's decision to love another man and his son. It is a story of how technology can be used to help those who may lack some senses for one or other reasons. It is the story of the how the ignorant can finally see for themselves what it can be on the other side of the fence.

When it comes to the Senses series, Andrew Grey has 'trained' his fans and readers to prepare for tissues and maybe get their hearts ripped out. For his other works, he has trained us (yups! including me) to get prepared for some HOT!ness and erotica that can leave me a bit flustered, to giggle, to grip the ereader in suspense, to try to figure out the mysteries, or simply to give up to the sappiness. He has trained his readers in such a way that when they pick up any one of his series' installments, they are conditioned to respond.

Then he throws a curve ball and all conditioned responses are thrown out the window and we readers are left to ponder: Okay, what is he doing changing things around, leaving us to flounder?

Well, Love Comes Home is that curve ball, once again. Instead of the usual tricks, Andrew Grey has given us something real and necessary. A lesson, in fact: that even when handicapped, things are not over, and it could just be the beginning of a different way of thinking things. Being blind does not mean being deaf. And in comes beep baseball.

When the cover was first revealed, one commentator asked why there were holes in the ball. The answer was that this was some sort of speaker for the sounds to come out from, much like our cell phone or ereader speakers. With beep balls, the sounds coming out of it are those that home in the listener to guide them where it lies, or flies. Quite an intriguing invention that opens the doors to a whole lot of potential.

This story is not much of a romance, that is an aside. The real story is about Davey, the boy who is given the chance to play baseball once more, to embrace his other senses. Getting blind is not the end, and as the boy said: he is going to be okay. It is also the story of his father, Greg, who had to learn to let go and let his son live his life. And of Tom, who saw the father and son team as the family of his dreams.

This does not send me to tears, but it does make the world clearer, with the ball beeps and the laughter of little boys who just love to play the game.

M/M Romance
Triggers: Going blind, absent parent
I was given this book for an honest review by Wicked Reads.

This is the third book in the series. I enjoyed these characters a lot, but I have to say that Davey was my favorite in the story.

Tom is used to getting what he wants. He's successful and has great friends. When he happens on Greg and Davey, he sees the world through their eyes and immediately begins to worm his way in to their lives. I love how dedicated Tom was to his friends, who had become his family.

Greg is a single dad, who's ex-wife is somewhat annoying. I understand why she was important in the story, but I really just wanted to smack her. Greg is doing his best, but his son Davey is having a difficult time - he's going blind due to a rare genetic disorder. When Greg's friends pitch in to help, Greg is somewhat reluctant - he seems to think that he needs to do everything himself. I like that his family - his friends - show him that it does indeed take a village to raise kids.

Davey is my favorite character in this book. I like that he is a kid who knows what he wants, who he wants to be with and that he's grounded enough to not allow last ditch efforts to sway his ideals. I also like that he's full of compassion - he shows his mom compassion when she comes barreling back in to his life - but he also knows that his dad has been the true parent and he's unwilling to just drop the fact that his mom abandoned them.

Greg and Tom's relationship was slow to start - however, their friendship grew and with each beep ball session, Tom's love for Greg and Davey increased. This was a slow buildup and I liked that all of the previous characters were involved. I think that it strengthened the story and made it seem much more complete.

What can I say but...Stunning!! Andrew Grey just never disappoints. This was such a lovely book that you will want to read again and again. I can honestly say that I so Fangirl over Andrew Grey so much. Every story he writes is so captivating and alluring. Love Comes Home is so true to that.

The story is about a father learning to cope with his son's sudden loss of vision. It is about learning that even though life sometimes throws you that curve ball there is always the possibility of a homerun. There is a strong family theme throughout this book and I loved that. The bond of a father's love for his son is gracefully written by Mr. Grey and the love in this book just jumps off the pages captivating you. The characters are strong and the sex is so passionate and romantic. Greg is the devoted father whose life is turned upside down by his son. Learning to cope with a blind child has left Greg bewildered and second guessing his everything. Tom is the unsung hero who pulls Greg back to reality. Tom not only helps Davey, Greg's son, realize that blindness doesn't mean he can't still do the things he loves but he shows Greg that he can take care of Davey and be in love. Damn I loved these two men!!

This book was such a delightful read. For me, no one writes a better HEA than Andrew Grey and his stories always give you the "warm fuzzies"! I loved this book and it is one of my favorites. I look forward to more and can't wait! Go get it you will love it I just know!!

Greg and Tom started out slow. I was a bit slow also in getting to like this book. Tom was a know it all. He knew what was best for everyone. Then slowly I began to love the book. Davey was so sweet. Andrew Grey can write children wonderfully and did so in this book. Davey’s mother was at first a major bitch that came to understand that she had lost her way and her son. Her part in the book made it. Her redemption and reconnecting with her son was truly wonderful.

I have loved each of the Senses book, and this one is no exception. Greg meets Tom and they hit it off but Greg’s world revolves around his son Davey—a 10 yo boy whose quickly going blind. When Davey looses what sight he has left while Greg is on a date with Tom, he shuts down his heart as best he can, or tries to at least.

Tom on the other hand isn’t so easy to dismiss. He’s sweet, slightly dominating in personality, and completely smitten. When Tom decides to help after learning about Beep Ball, Greg is resistant, but Davey is all for it. What kid wouldn’t love it? I’m sighted and thought it sounded like fun.

Each man and issues, fears, and trials to work through as they work toward a happy future for Davey, and themselves. Then the ex shows up… Now, she’s not as bad as she could have been, and I’ve know people like her, but I had no sympathy for her. Watching as Greg and Tom felt their way together while trying to help Davey and deal with her was painful at times yet sweet and endearing. I want Tom (or maybe his bi twin)!

I hope to see them again soon and hope Tom’s best friend that visits (you’ll bleed for him too) gets his HEA too… If you love love and Andrew Grey stories, then this is your book. This is a story of love and comfort and while not a ‘hot’ as some of Andrew’s others, is still a Must read.

This is another amazing story of the Senses Series which brings together two gay men in the midst of adversity. Greg, an engineer, has a son, Davey, who has lost his sight in his pre-teen years. The two struggle with this, but fortunately, due to Tom, who is a friend of Ken and Patrick's, meets Greg at a party. Tom, is a money manager for charities, and someone who has always gotten what he wanted, and once he met Greg he knew. Tom helps Greg through a lot of the struggles they have to go through, and helps set up a beep ball team which deals with sounds that Davey is able to accomplish in playing. Their other friends, Howard, (whose been blind since birth), and Gordy are strong supports for both Greg and Davey. Greg's ex-wife comes back into the picture and brings a doctor who thinks he may be able to help Davey get his sight back with some experimental treatment which could have dire side affects. So Greg has a decision to make whether to do this or not. With Tom and his friends, the decision is made easier. This is a story line which is built on the first two of the series and it makes you love all of these characters even more. Sex comes into the story at the right time and leads to a beautiful ending. Another family is built along with their extended family. Loved it. Shows what life can throw at you sometimes and how family and friends can get through most anything.

Solid 4.5 stars

I think the thing I like most about Andrew Grey's writing is his ability to write characters that I can easily relate to. These are everyday kinds of people living their lives the best they can. Sometimes they have more challenges than most of us have, but they aren't all super rich, extremely perfect people condescending to spend time with us regular folk.

In this book, Tom is pretty wealthy, but he doesn't really flaunt it. Well aside from the bits with his Ferrari, but he doesn't so much use that to impress as much as it's a fun toy to drive. Greg does pretty well financially, but he isn't super wealthy. He is a single father, which is tough enough, who is trying to simultaneously adjust to his sons blindness and help his son cope as well. That is a lot of challenge and he does so well.

Another winner here. So much heartwarming story. I hope the next book is about Skip.

Another beautiful story from Andrew Grey! I knew I wasn't going to be let down. He hasn't let me down yet;-) This was a love story of course but it really centered on Davey and how everyone had to adjust to his blindness. What a great kid and I really enjoyed following him on his new journey on adjusting to being newly blind. I watched a video on Beep Baseball first and I'm glad I did because when they were explaining it in the book I got to visualize what they do. Just the joy they all got playing it, was just so cool. I also enjoyed Greg and Tom! Both Greg and Tom were both lucky to find each other. Skip, Skip, and more Skip (He needs his own story)

I seem to be in the minority, but I did not like this book as much as the others I have read by Andrew Grey. The beep-ball aspect is what first caught my interest and I did enjoy learning about. Andrew Grey did a great job describing beep ball - how it worked and the difference it made in Davey's life. I also liked Tom's best friend from New York; he provided a bit of energy. Overall, though, I found the pacing sluggish and no real depth of feeling. I did not feel much chemistry between the two main characters.

The story of Greg and Tom is maybe more slow and intense than the last two, the love between them comes quietly, Greg seem don't understand and Tom seem a bit too rational, but however is beautiful and as always warms my heart. Then Mr Grey know always like write about particular and painful topics but it is always in tenderly way as also realistic . When I think to read a book that makes me feel good I think at those by Andrew Grey .

Love, no matter what... that is what we see here. In upper Michigan,
Gregory, architect, brown wavy hair, blue eyes and slim, has a son, Davey, 10, who is loosing his sight.
Tom, a wealthy money manager for the family Foundation, is handsome, fit and smart. He meets Gregory and is interested in this nice man. They have mutual friends, and interests.

When Tom and Greg had a date, their friends call with awful news. The friends including Tom, are helpful.

Greg is super stressed, signing Davey up for ASL classes, and Braille, plus a guide dog, too. Tom is a marvel with knowledge and help. Tom discovered Beep Ball, and begins the process of striking up a league.
As with all of Andrew Grey's books, the impairment is handled with smart insights and warm caring. He puts out a wonderful story to read, and we are learning as we go along with this awesome tale.

Tom and Greg are getting along in this slow burn romance, and look forward to a second date. Davey is learning fast, and the struggles are shown. Gordy, Howard, Sophia, Hannah and more folks are all pitching in.

There are issues with the ex-wife, and doubts and hopes all on display for Davey's progress, and for Tom and Greg's relationship.

You will like this heartwarming story.

ENJOY !

Hmmm, this book continues in what I've come to think of as AG’s style: very matter of fact storytelling, with an idyllic flow of events and storybook-perfect characters except for one of the MCs, who the author has given the dubious honour of adding a little “realness” to the otherwise sweet romance by thinking of himself as “less than perfect”, and of course a kid that is every parent's dream (and in this book, it's this 10-year-old kid who goes blind! Isn't that something...). This book was, once again, a good enough book with zero angst, and I finished it in a single read through, which is usually an important baseline to judge a story, but I couldn't justify a 4* rating, so I settled on 3½* (of course there are no half stars here, so I settled my Goodreads rating on 3*). This book was, yet again, not really my cup of tea: same formula as previous book, same writing style, same plot obstacles, a swappable cast, and very little character development. I can imagine that there is a market for stories like this, but I prefer my books with lots more meat (and no, I did not intend that as a pun, although it would have been a clever one).

When Greg’s son Davey starts having trouble during the summer, he takes him to an eye doctor. The results of that exam start a rocky journey for both Greg and Davey. Davey eyesight is deteriorating quickly. Tom meets Greg and Davey at a get together of mutual friends. He hits it off with Grey and asks him out, but their date is cut short when Greg gets a phone call that the worst has happened and Davey can no longer see.

Greg and Tom’s relationship was a very slow burn, it took a good portion of the book for them to get together and much of the book focused on how they dealt with Davey losing his sight, rather than the relationship between them. It was still a sweet book with pretty low angst. It was nice to see previous couples and how they were able to help Davey, Greg and Tom learn to live with Davey loss of sight.

The one issue I had with the book was how quickly Davey and his mother’s relationship was repaired, after her basically abandoning him for most of his life. She came barreling back and tried to act like Greg wasn’t trying to help Davey. While there was a bit of struggle at the beginning it just felt glossed over.

I was disappointed in this book so much because there was no real sex. Making out and using mouths don't count to me. If there is no real sex when there is supposed to be especially in m/m books it is pretty much a trash book. Only thing saved this from a 2 star rating was it was by Andrew Grey. If not it would have been a 1 or 2 star. I can't deal with no sex in my books turns me off. I won't be reading this book again, but I won't give it up since its part of a series.


Greg's son Davey is going blind then he does. He meets Tom before that happens and they hit it off. The night that Davey goes totally blind they are on their first date. Tom looks into Beep Baseball and funds getting the equipment for Davey to be able to play. He falls for Greg and Davey both wanting to be in their lives.

Characters from past books Ken, Patrick, Hannah, Gordy, Howard and Sophia are in this book to help. Greg's ex wife shows up trying to make trouble but thankfully Greg had fixed it where she couldn't. Her doctor 'boyfriend' can't actually help Davey without making him sick by killing off bone marrow and all that. Greg comes to his senses and doesn't allow that to happen. Tom and Greg are together at the end.

Loves Comes Home is the third book in the Senses series by author Andrew Grey. Mr. Grey brings a ton of heart and soul to his characters. I love the romance and the just overall emotion in the book. When I think of true romance I think of this author and his work. This story made me laugh, cry, and even yell a little. I was completely into the book and the characters. I wanted the happy ending.
Tom and Gregg have more than their share of obstacles to overcome. I loved how both characters are not overly anything. They are just normal every day people finding love. I love seeing the connection with Gregg’s son and his plight. Seeing how both men handle that showed me what good people they truly are.
Overall when you want a well-written romance I suggest this book. It is powerfully written and emotional read. I love this series and look forward to more in the future.

I had an interesting reaction to this story. I actually liked the side story with the kid losing his vision more than the romance between the two men. Davey was cute and I enjoyed his story figuring out how to handle his new disability. Greg and Tom were sweet if rather simple. It wasn't a bad relationship it just felt a little boring for me. All of the stuff about Davey was entertaining and informative. I felt like I was learning things about being blind. I enjoyed both men's relationship with Greg's son.

I enjoyed the story. I love Andrew Grey and I do enjoy the Senses stories. I have read them in various orders, and I do find the later stories more compelling and enjoy them more. This one however was a good read. Tom I didn't enjoy in the beginning as he is a know it all, but he did warm on me and I did eventually really enjoy his character. Tom and Greg were a great couple and with Davy, it made it an emotional roller coaster. I find all the Senses stories are emotional. If you like the series and like Andrew Grey, you will enjoy the story.

This was a great book, full of feeling and character development. You get to see every single character grow as the novel develops; from learning to stand their own ground and trust their instincts, to adapting to a whole new world. It was a pleasure to read, and I can't wait to dive into the next of the series!

Not sure the relationship really ever came together for me. I did like the story about how you are not limited due to visual disability.

From the blurb, this should have been my fave of the series but I found this completely predictable from start to finish and I never really felt like it ended, plus it took me forever to read.
