Wow, it's hard to believe that this is the last review of the year.

When I started reading the Homestead Pride series, I hadn’t realized it was about a shifter universe. So I was just as surprised as the main characters in the first two stories, when they find out the hard way. Of the five books currently in the series, my favorite is number 2, Peace and Quiet. You can actually read it without knowing the first book, but there will be a couple of spoilers, so if you have time, why not treat yourself to reading the whole series during the holidays.

Peace and Quiet is about a guy who takes matters in his own hands in order to get out of an abusive relationship. He doesn’t resort to violence, but simply leaves in order to find the solitude and calm he has been denied for too long. While on his way to his home town, he meets a few decent people who help him restore faith in other beings (human or not). Even more importantly, he finds out the things he has been told about shifters are mostly lies. 

But the best part of the book is about the friends he makes, and how important they become in his life. Loyal, trustworthy, caring and fun – don’t we all need friends like that ? Those relationships are a huge part of what brings me back to this series every so often. I hope you’ll agree. 

Happy Holidays (Glædelig Jul) from Denmark.

Great review, Tim. I read this story ages ago, and enjoyed it. You've made me think it's time for a reread. :)

Good job, Tim.

I recall reading two stories in the series, but I wasn't aware there were more. Since I'm taking a break from writing through the end of the year, I'm gonna try and read the others.

Feliz Navidad!

Thanks, Gary. The story gets more characters and interesting plots in the later books, so reading again is rewarding, because you are aware of hints and plot twists. Just like your Morningstar story. :yes:

Thanks, Carlos. I hope you'll enjoy the last three books as well.

I think I might have read the first one too, but if I reread, I'll start from the beginning. Plotting twists and planting 'hidden' clues is fun. :D

Thanks to your review this is something to add to my reading list.

Thanks, dugh. There are various sex scenes in the series, but nothing too explicit in this story.
