About this listen
After Micha Perkins finds himself wrongly implicated in a crime, the last person he wants coming to his rescue is his secret crush, Swift, his older brother’s best friend. But when Micha returns to the town that never felt like home, he discovers Swift’s young daughter is in trouble as well. If Micha can help them both in any way, he knows he will.
Self-defense coach Swift Coal never realized he was a father until he gets custody of five-year-old Imogen and her cranky cat. His neat and tidy life is about to come crashing down, but to his surprise, Micha Perkins is there to save the day. He’s so damn good with kids, and just as cute as Swift remembers. When Micha moves in to help look after Imogen, Swift struggles to repress the feelings he’s kept hidden.
Micha’s always been a misfit, and Swift’s life was always orderly. Micha may have taken the fall to protect those more vulnerable than him, but who will save him when his past comes back to haunt him? Was Swift a fool to risk the safety of his daughter around a bad element like Micha? When their chaotic worlds collide, perhaps love and family are the middle ground they both need to become stronger together.
Book three in Pine Cove. Homeward Bound is a steamy stand-alone MM romance novel with a guaranteed HEA and absolutely no cliffhanger.

4.5* is my favourite.
This book is my favourite of this series so far. I love the whole idea the family is not only by blood but also those we surround ourselves with. Micha the self perceived black sheep of the family returned home after running with the law, looking to start over. Swift has had a shock, he has a daughter one he had no idea even existed, Imogen and her cat Butter are the stars of the book, this little girl will capture your heart from her first appearance on page. But her dad he’s struggling, luckily the adorably cute Micha is on hand to help.
Another well written addition to the series and so well narrated as well. Enjoyable and fun book.

A brilliant second chance romance!
All the emotions, such dynamic characters and throw in a beautiful and perceptive little girl and your set of an emotional, challenging and heart-warming romance!!
I love Helen's perceptive writing style, I can feel all the nuances of each character, their life, and their surroundings. I feel in tune with the characters as they come to terms with their l.ives and the ups and downs of their current situation. This story is no exception. My heart broke and I was enraged for Micha. His low confidence, self-worth, and past; all form who he is now and I could relate to the challenges of trying to change such an ingrained way of thinking but I loved Swift and his ability to charm, challenge and truely believe in Micha enough to get through to him and their journey is emotionally packed but beautiful!
I love a "bi-awakening" and loved Swift and how he dealt with his newfound fatherhood and beautiful little girl. An emotional situation and to bond, find a balance and find love too, it was just beautiful. I'm loving this whole series and love that no matter who you are, you can find your happily ever after!!!
Thanks for reading!

Welch/Russo outdid themselves!
I was gifted my copy of this book, that I write a review was not required.
Swift finds out he is a father, 5 years after Imogen’s birth. But Imogen’s mum is struggling and Swift takes custody of his daughter while mum sorts herself out. Micha is home, after some time in custody, and is struggling being at home. He loves his family, he really does, but they don’t know who he is, deep down, he can’t tell them, not after what he did before he left. Swift comes to Micha’s aid and vice versa. The things start to spiral out of control with Micha being in such close proximity to Imogen, when his past finds and threatens those he has come to love, and Micha makes a dreadful decision. Can Swift get to him in time?
Ms Welch has out done herself, AGAIN!
I mean, the whole previously undiscovered bisexuality genre is growing on me, big time, and it is almost entirely due to Ms Welch’s skill at writing these characters!
Swift is Robin’s (from book 1, Safe Harbor) older brother, and Swift is Micha’s older brother’s best friend. Micha makes no bones about his attraction to Swift, from when they all hung out together when he was a teenager. But Micha is a grown man now, and surely can’t still be crushing on Swift, right? Clearly, he is. And he struggles so much with that attraction with Swift’s little, entirely innocent, touches, because Micha doesn’t want them to be innocent. But Swift is straight, cos he has a child. And Micha just suffers in silence.
Swift, however, is questioning everything. His daughter just landed on his doorstep, and he has no idea what to do! Having Micha help is a godsend. Having Micha in his space is . .nice. Having Micha OUT his space, is not so nice and it’s not till Swift thinks he might lose Micha that he questions why he feels like that. And Swift is just like, Okay then! Micha is MINE and I want him back. And he goes all out!
When Micha tells Swift about why he can’t tell his family he is gay, I cried, I really did. It breaks your heart, the pain he has been carrying around all this time.
It’s a well told tale, of getting what and WHO you want, it really is!
But PULEEEEEZE, Ms Welch, write Ava and Peyton a full story!!
5 full and shiny stars!
Nick J Russo narrates this series.
And just as Ms Welch outdid herself WRITING this book, Russo outdid himself NARRATING it.
I mean, I rarely react out loud (verbally, shouitng, crying at what I'm reading) when I am READING. When I am LISTENING, however, its a totally different ball game and I don't think I was ever more verbal with this book than maybe one other, in years of being an audio book listener!
Right from the start, Russo broke my heart for Micha. Well Welch did of course, but HEARING how broken Micha feels he is? I think I was crying right at the first chapter!
But when Micha is telling Swift why they can't be together?? Oh dear Lord. I had to stop what I was doing and just listen to poor Micha pour his heart out to Swift and I sobbed my bloody socks off! So much so, my daughter came in to ask if I was okay!
But equally, Russo gets over Swift's emotions too. Not quite as dramatically and gut wrenching as Micha's but Swift goes through a lot here, and Russo gets all of that across.
The voices for the other characters are carried across the series perfectly, and most of them pop uo here are some point.
While I was listening, I made a connection to book 4 that I hadn't made when I was reading. Elias and Ben pop up here and it was great to figure out where they fit in into the Pine Cove bigger picture. I have their book to read next.
5 stars for the book
5 stars for the narration!

Very touching story
Not only did Nick J Russo a fantastic job with the narration, but H.J. Welch outdid herself again. This story sucks you in and will sometimes have you on the brink of tears.

Bound to please
I love this series. My heart went out to Micha with such low self esteem. Swift is so aptly named having to learn how to be a father to a five year old overnight. I especially liked the way Micha has to come to terms with what happened to him before he was adopted in order to appreciate what he has now. Family takes a strong role in this story. Especially with the message that a family comes in all forms and emphasises the importance of love, understanding and acceptance. For me it’s very much a heartwarming story with a happy ending that left me feeling contented.
Nick J Russo is one of my favourite narrators. He performs the story so well that I can visualise the characters and get more emotionally involved with them.

Sweet as sugar
I loved this story even though I was frustrated with Micha making a bad decision at one point. This story is filled with feelings and joy but also som reality so it makes it more realistic.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings
Good dialogues
The chemistry between Micha and Swift is present early on and it keeps building......... the rest you have to hear for yourself
I love all the secondary characters and the world the author has created is great.
Love scenes is intense but tasteful described
The storyline is good and has a steady build to a happy ending
Narrator:
Clear pronunciation and read with feelings
5 stars overall

as great as the ebook
The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.
The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Nick J Russo is one of the top 5 narrators for me, I can listen without break and have no problems to follow.
I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.
PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!
To my ratings:
5* - very very good
it's like an A+
4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A
3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Nick J Russo is fast becoming a favourite narrator
I must admit that Nick J Russo is fast becoming one of my favourite narrators, and I'm really picky lol. Swift and Micha are absolutely adorable. I love the way Swift and his family so readily accept Micha's version of events leading up to his return to Pine Cove. Swift unexpectedly needs to take custody of Imogen, the five and a quarter year old daughter that he never knew he had and feels totally out of his depth. Micha has always had a way with little kids and readily agrees to help Swift find his feet. The trio soon form their own sort of family unit, with nether man admitting their attraction to the other one. Micha is not out and Swift has never disclosed the fact that he is bisexual to anyone. I loved the slow burn which felt totally right for this couple. Micha is such a sweetheart but when his past comes back to haunt him things really get complicated as he tries to protect the people that he loves.
