The Long Way Home makes me very glad Ms Reavis has a long list of books out there for me to catch up on. Two wonderfully flawed characters with enough baggage for an army meet under the least likely circumstances. He's throwing things and she throws them right back at him and basically tells him to get a life. Which, until Mac meets the fiery Rita, he's not sure he even wants. Ironically, it's Rita who's trying to get a new life, to bury the awful mistakes of her past and be the person her grandmother told her she was. With nothing better to do, trapped in a hospital bed recovering from extensive burns, Mac offers to tutor Rita in the Algebra she needs to complete her GED. But that's all. Except he can't seem to stop thinking about her when she's not around. Rita has already been burned and knows better than to let her heart get involved. So why does this angry, ornery man keep getting under her skin? Another wonderful cast of characters you won't want to miss.

What an absolute gem of a book. Reavis touched so many emotions with her understanding of the human psyche that I was just blown away that this was a silhouette romance. Rita - over the top; Mac - cynical and hurting on the inside! All the other heartfilled characters, Bugs, Corey, even bad Matt to some extent. A must read title.

Well written, but after reading Older Woman, the theme of the hospital and injured vet seemed repetitive. I liked how imperfect yet likable the main characters were.

This was my 2nd time to read this. Still a goodie.
