Lead Me Home by Catherine Bybee: Review

It’s funny how you find an author that you connect with on multiple levels. I had never heard of this author before until the publisher sent me a book several years ago.

From the first chapter of the first book, I was addicted to this author’s stories and writing style. Fast forward to today and this is probably my fourth or fifth book now, and I still enjoy them so much.

With this publication, Bybee is starting a new series, and I am 100% in. Check out my thoughts below.

OVERVIEW:
Luna Canning trusts numbers more than people―and for good reason. As a forensic accountant who specializes in exposing fraud, she knows numbers never deceive, unlike the toxic family she’s spent a lifetime trying to escape. Now living in her grandmother’s Victorian home, Luna has built a carefully ordered life behind walls she thought were unbreakable.

When her car is stolen from an airport parking lot, former FBI agent turned PI Nate Warren steps in to help―and proves more dangerous to her defenses than any thief. Despite Luna’s ironclad rules about mixing business with pleasure, their chemistry ignites, and for the first time, she considers letting someone past her guard. But just as their relationship begins to blossom, Luna’s manipulative mother arrives unannounced, dragging with her a dangerous man and decades of unresolved trauma that threaten everything Luna has built.

Now Luna must confront the ghosts of her past―both metaphorical and possibly literal, as strange occurrences in her historic home suggest she’s not alone. With a violent threat looming and her heart on the line, Luna discovers that sometimes the hardest person to trust is yourself.

Lead Me Home by Catherine Bybee Review

What I enjoy the most about this author is the interest and care she takes when writing her stories. She weaves in so much detail, you can’t help but be entertained.

Lead Me Home is wonderful on many levels. We have interesting characters who have a good life. An old Victorian that needs a ton of work with the leaky roofs and cranky cat, and maybe a ghost rattling around, too.

And the male lead character, Nate, is perfectly fitted to her. Their love of their job fits perfectly. Plus, he’s sweet, kind, and hot.

This story hits all of the spots. A little suspense, a little paranormal activity, interesting work, a crazy mother, and a great guy to fall in love with when you least expected it.

Once again, Bybee has captured my heart. Family drama and a growing love interest collide for a memorable, sweet story.

5 STARS!!
