For Dillon Turner, home was never a place that meant anything to him. It was simply where he lived until he was old enough to leave. The day he turns eighteen, he boards a Greyhound bus and leaves Chicago behind for what he hopes will be something better. Upon arrival in Omaha, an unexpected streak of good luck leads him to Banks Motel where he meets sexy tattoo artist Adam Banks. A belated birthday celebration is just the beginning for them, and Adam easily infiltrates the protective wall Dillon has built around his heart and becomes the center of Dillon’s world. Adam and the Banks family take Dillon in as one of their own, and Dillon finds he’s never been happier in his life. That is until becoming a part of someone’s family proves to be harder than Dillon thought. When caring about other people makes him more vulnerable than he can handle, Dillon’s first instinct is to run. Throw in a meddling ex-boyfriend and it all becomes too much for him. Can Adam prove that the positives far outweigh the negatives, or will Dillon let his fear of being hurt ruin his chances at finding a real home?

Finding Home Leighton Rose Books Reviews
This is basically a feel good story of a young man of eighteen, Dillon, after having grown up in an alcoholic and drug addicted household, taking a chance. His escape comes on his eighteenth birthday, when he leaves home and boards a bus from Chicago to Omaha. Why Omaha, Nebraska? He has randomly chosen a city that is financially accessible to him, his meager savings being what they are, and it is far enough away to begin a completely new life, maybe. Or maybe not.
There, he meets an unlikely series of people, who not only are kind, but generous. While this does not seem likely to happen in this cruel unforgiving society in which we live, it's nice to believe that, yeah, that could happen.
This light and loving story of believing in one's hopes and dreams is written with real feeling. Leighton Rose's talent is evident here, as we see a new author continue to grow. The characters, descriptions, and motivations all work well for her. It's a feel good story, one for a long afternoon's reading on a lazy day. There's just enough going on here to keep your attention, and heart, hoping for a really good ending.
Just one bone to pick. With all of the beautiful descriptive writing, I missed one small item; what about Parker? What kind of dog is he? Not important, but just a little to me.
Dillon Turner is just minutes past his eighteenth birthday when he boards a bus and leaves the darkness of his past behind him. He purchases a ticket for Omaha, for no particular reason than it’s not Chicago. When he arrives he finally takes a minute to think about his situation. He doesn’t know anyone, where will he work, where will he live? As luck would have it he winds up at the Banks motel and eventually in the arms of the owner’s grandson, Adam.
The Banks family are kind, generous and immediately accepting of Dillon. It is a kindness that Dillon is not used to and he is very wary of them in the beginning. Where Dillon’s parents were either drunk and/or drugged out of their minds and emotionally absent since birth... Adam’s family is always in each other’s face, very loving and attentive. It sort of scares the crap out of Dillon at the start. But Adam is patient and kind, biding his time until he can move Dillon from his guest room into his room.
Both men have something from their past that defines them, some type of tragedy or circumstance that makes them less willing to trust. They will have to learn how to navigate each other and, most important, to communicate if they are going to make their new life together a permanent one. While Adam mourns his dead parents and remembers the pain of a broken heart, Dillon has nightmares of being violated when he was just a child due to his completely oblivious parents parenting skills. Has Dillon found his home with Adam and the Banks?
What a beautiful love story with unnervingly simple and down to earth characters. While the heart of this story is the love story that is ever growing and evolving between Dillon and Adam, the secondary characters give it an added grittiness that make it that much more endearing. Watching the two of them learn not only how to be a couple, but how to be a family and deal with issues that arose on a daily basis, both good and bad, gave the story some depth. There are a few years between them and at first I thought maybe Dillon held conversations in a more mature manner than a normal eighteen year old would, but then when you think about his life up to this point, he is way more mature for his age than he should be.
I was completely engaged in this story from start to finish. It’s a very romantic, sexy and endearing story about finding your true love your first time up to bat. About Dillon finding the Home he always wanted with Adam, and about Adam finding the Home he so desperately wanted with Dillon. Just beautiful! Yes, it’s a must read.
