The Road Home will take you on a journey that will keep you guessing right to the end.
When Blake Anderson decides to sneak away from the limelight of his father’s political career, he sets out to find an answer that has haunted him his whole life. He heads to the small town of River’s Edge in the heart of Oregon’s wine country along the Columbia River. In the small town, he gets his first taste of anonymity and it feels good. His trail quickly runs cold and instead of racing back to his family’s mansion he decides to stay for a while, and makes a place for himself as Reg Wheeler’s hired hand.
Maria Sandoval is recovering from a devastating loss and has sought refuge on her grandparents’ prosperous estate, Ramirez Vines. Doing her best to outrun haunting memories from her college days, she takes great solitude in riding her horse along the edge of the vineyard property. One night she runs across a stranger who claims to work for her grandparents’ old neighbor Reg Wheeler. Her mistrust and anxiety push her emotions to a new level as she tries to determine the stranger’s real purpose for helping the cranky crippled old man.
Secrets, trust, and love all combine as Blake and Maria journey together toward finding answers and healing old wounds. But in one emotionally charged night it all starts to come undone. As one life hangs in the balance, questions are answered, but will it be too late?
˃˃˃ Heartfelt, riveting, and emotionally charged, The Road Home reminds us that home is where the heart is.
Meg Gray uses a small world approach when crafting her contemporary romance novels, tying minor characters from one story into another—demonstrating how intertwined our human lives really are. The city streets and country roads she takes you down aren’t necessarily a structured series, but the stories are connected. Within the pages, her readers will catch glimpses of some of their favorite characters again and again. This is a concept that mirrors itself in our everyday lives. Our worlds are much smaller than we realize, often times we are unaware of the way our lives intersect with those around us.
The best part is Meg’s books keep readers inside the small world she has created so they can enjoy a completely different story with each read. Start with any one of them and be treated to repeat appearances from some of her colorful characters.

A gripping read could not put this book down. The first book I read was The Teacher. And that was really well written. A city Streets, Country Roads Novels are well written and nor wish.
A sweet romance with a mystery to solve. Two of my favorite things!
While I'm known to enjoy a steamy read, I also like to cuddle up with a sweet romance now and again. And I'm so glad I cuddled up with this one.
The chemistry between Blake and Maria is wonderful. Maria is haunted by a tragic past that deals with domestic violence and Blake is searching for his birth mother while struggling to live up to the image needed as the son of a governor running for president.
Ms. Gray does a wonderful job capturing the emotions that go with these issues while treading lightly so as not to overwhelm the reader.
Does Blake find his mother? Does Maria come to terms with her past? Do they finally end up together? You'll have to read THE ROAD HOME to find out.
I really enjoyed this story. There's a little bit of mystery and a touch of suspense. I have read other novels by this author and I am impressed by the depth of her stories. It's nice to read a romance story that isn't filled with scenes I have to skip over. I look forward to reading this author's next novel.
