For Annie Marshall, accepting her school friend's wedding invitation means being catapulted back to the small Highland town she fled twenty years ago - and facing a tragedy that ripped the small community apart.
A tragedy Annie is still held responsible for.
As she returns to her old hometown, wounds of the past are reopened. But for the sake of her best friend, Annie is willing to try.
Pulled away from her hectic Edinburgh life, Annie is forced to reassess the life she shares with her boyfriend Paul. And then, she meets the ruggedly handsome Billy Lawson, and everything changes.

About the author
Kerry Watts
25 books81 followers.Kerry Watts was born and grew up in a small town in the East of Scotland where she still lives today. She is always writing and carries a little notebook and pen with her wherever she goes because at her age ideas need to be captured before they disappear.
Kerry specialises in crime fiction because she enjoys pushing the boundaries of what it is to be human. The nature versus nurture debate fascinates her. She loves to put her characters in impossible situations just to see what happens. Her experience as a psychiatric nurse heavily influences her writing. She also wants to create characters that people can relate to who might be facing the same struggles as anyone else.
Authors who inspire her are anyone capable of creating a character who lives inside her head long after she has closed the book. Her favourite fictional character's are Dexter Morgan, created by Jeff Lindsay as well as Hannibal Lechter created by Thomas Harris. She doesn't have a favourite genre as a reader. Kerry will read anything. Written by anyone. If the blurb has a good feel about it she's hooked.
When she's not writing she loves to spend time following her other passions - dogs, particularly rescue mutts and horse racing. The sight of a thoroughbred race horse at full stretch has been known to move her to tears, not just lump in the throat stuff but full on blubbing. And for that she is unashamed. One day she's going to buy a racehorse filly and call her Into Darkness.
She also had a small role in a film called The Rocket Post but decided acting wasn't for her. She would rather create a character than play one.

Quick read with believable characters and emotions - if you have Kindle Unlimited, it is definitely worth the read. Many of us have pasts we would rather not revisit for one reason or another but have to deal with, and Annie's experience shows that facing it has the possibility of a happy ending. I also think the cover is very sweet and captures the emotional aspects of the story.

Homecoming Queen by Kerry Watts a sublime five-star read. This was such a great short read, I read it in one sitting after promising myself that I was just going to read the first few pages in bed. I read the whole thing, what a story, I picked this up by chance and I’m so glad I did, Annie marshal was a character I would get behind she is one of those characters that is so well written you could imagine meeting for coffee or drinks and watching the world go by while putting it to rights. Kerry Watts has just become an author I plan on finding so much more about.

I found this book by chance, and finished it over a two-day period. While I found it enjoyable, there were multiple editing issues that sometimes made for a confusing read. They didn't take away from the story, but did influence my rating. All-in-all, I liked this book, and recommend it.

HOMECOMING QUEEN by KERRY WATTS 5 stars
A nice story about a young woman's life and the consequences of mistakes made at a very young age. There were lessons learned and life was changed as a result, but a happy ending nonetheless. An enjoyable read.

Eh. Thankfully short. Writing was juvenile.
