This is the first book I've read by J.P. Oliver. I believe it is the debut from J.P., and if so, I'm really looking forward to the next books!

A Navy Seal, Sam, comes home after a 10 years absence and connects with his brother's best friend, Wes. Sam doesn't remember Wes from his teenage years, but Wes has never forgotten him. As they have several difficult conversations they begin to discuss career choices, families and the future. With a single phone call, everything is put on an expedited need to resolve, at least some of their issues.

An extremely well written plot with dialogue that makes you feel you're in the room and it's actually happening in front of you.

I received this prequel from the author.careers contemporary-fiction contemporary-romance ...more3 s Dixiecowgirl1,420 25

Sam has a big heart that he has hidden away for years. Coming home, unsure of his place in the family was challenging for him. It was beautiful to see Sam connect with his brother Tommy and Tommy's wife and son. Seeing that he fit in and was needed in this new adult version of his family.
.
Wesley has some wonderful memories of Sam's kindness from when he was a kid and a deep belief that Sam is a good man. I this view into Sam's childhood and that his care made a difference for Wes, who had a difficult childhood and Sam's family made it a little easier.

Wesley and Sam have some serious chemistry and i am looking forward to them having some time together to figure out their relationship in the future. Sam now has an incredible thing called hope and i am excited to see how the author will write their HEA.

This is the first story that i have ready by the author and i will be wanting to read many more! The author did a great job with crating interesting characters and creating a need to know what happens next in my heart2 s Claudia2,890 39

An outstanding debut novel that convinced me of keeping an eye on future works by this author.

This is a romance, yes. But it's also about family, and finding your place in the world and, as the title suggest, about coming back home and all that that implies when you have been away for ten years, and changed.

All the characters are lovely depicted, the story-line is well done, and the writing very good. And hey! bonus points for fantastic, realistic dialogues which is not an easy feat.

A very recommendable book and author. lgbt m-m romance2 s Victoria Smiser82 2

While this is not a light, breezy read-in-a-few-hours novel, it is profound, gripping, poignant, and quite unforgettable.
The sub title should be One Kiss. One kiss between two men, who have known of each other from the perimeter of friends will, offer potential and hope, a wish of maybes and potential to last through a year of silence. A silence filled with the horror of war and nearly unbearable torture.
Wesley Adams, a solitary soul enjoys the quasi-monotony of accounting, he appreciates living his life on the perimeter of friends’ lives. Without a family of his own he enjoys being a part of his best friend Tom Carlisle’s family. Tom’s girlfriend and young son welcome Wes without question into their lives. Wes carefully continues his friendship without alluding to his secret crush on Tom’s older brother Sam. Sam Carlisle the handsome, committed to his country, Navy SEAL. Currently on active duty, on a dark mission somewhere untraceable. For the better part of a decade Wes has maintained a love for Tom from afar.
When Wes and Tom talked the night before he deployed, sitting together under the Kansas sky filled with stars, Wes asked him not to leave because he cared for him. Tom and Wes kissed feeling an over whelming connection. Tom promised he would come back to Wes and Wes agreed he would be waiting. The months had stretched into nearly year with no communication and Wes was sure his heart was broken. Hourly Wes’s mind, his body remembers every minute, every touch of their short time together. Nights find Wes consumed with thoughts of Sam invading his dreams. Without any communication from the Navy SEAL, Wes believes that Sam thought Wes was simply a joke and there had not been a connection and does not consider there could be a relationship. Wes thinks it is finally time to give up on Sam and begin to date.
When Tom casually mentions that he hasn’t heard from Sam for seven months and he doesn’t know what is wrong, Wes immediately assures Tom that Sam is simply busy and not able to communicate, as he covers his own fears for Sam’s safety. At his desk Wes spends hours researching Sam and discovers he is officially missing. Wes doesn’t share his findings.
A world away in a dry inhospitable land, Sam realizes that he is in love with Wes. Thoughts of Wes make him breathe, make him happy. Sam knew that had to be love. When he joined the Navy at 18 he never thought that he would crave ordinary events, backyard barbeques, holding hands and kissing a guy. Sam didn’t think he had accidently fallen in love with a boy he never knew he wanted. Every night Sam thought of Wes, remembering their kiss and the possibilities, the tantalizing hope for love and, family and more, what a life including Wes might become. Each night in his barracks Sam wrote to Wes trying to tell Wes what he was , asking Wes questions wanting to know him better. With each letter, Sam realizes he is falling a little more in love with Wesley Adams. Sam wrote the letters each night for months, long after he knew he would never send them. The letters ended up in the trash. But Sam was so sure of his feelings for Wes and wanted once more to kiss him. However, at the moment, he was a little busy. Too busy for kisses and futures.
At this point the book becomes tense and gritty as enemy forces prevail and Sam is identified as missing. Meticulously detailed chapters become the daylight versions of nightmares. Written so carefully that Sam becomes very real and the reader is unknowingly holding breaths and unable to put the pages down.
This an amazing journey of two men who share so much and whose souls identified each other before there were words. A caution, quantities of tissues are needed for the epilog.

Coming Home (Finding Shore Book 1) by J.P. Oliver and Peter Styles
This Sam Carlisle and Wes Adams’ story.

Man, this story is emotional and you experience so many different emotions. You just need to read the story to understand the different emotions. I look forward to future books by this author. I enjoyed Wes and Sam’s story.

Sam has been running away physically and emotionally for a long time. Wes in his way has been running away emotionally too. Sam and Wes’ journey took awhile but eventually they got it right.

FYI, contains graphic and mature content. This is a MM romance. I received the book through my Kindle Unlimited account.
romance Garth Mailman2,177 7

An introductory novella for an M+M Series.
A Navy Seal with PTSD returns after 10 years to the home town he couldn’t get away from fast enough on leave to find that his younger brother’s best friend has had an unrequited abiding crush on him. The kid he called Weasel has grown up. The I read for the continuing series give me second thoughts. The prequel is about people caring for one another. Aside from some heavy petting little else happens. There are a few editing errors and minimal profanity. Gerald Sessions1,107 6
