A book in the Home Series
Ben Forman has been in the closet so long he's convinced himself he's actually straight. But his denial train gets derailed when hotshot lawyer Micah Trains walks into his life. Micah is brilliant, funny, and determined.... And he just assumes Ben's gay and starts dating him. Finding himself truly happy for the first time he can remember, Ben doesn't have the willpower to resist.
Still, life isn't all rainbows and happily-ever-afters. Ben loves his family, but his parents have been estranged from his brother, Noah, since he came out of the closet. Ben doesn't want to lose them, but Micah won't be his dirty little secret forever. Suddenly Ben's hold on his happiness and his sense of self seems to be slipping. If he's going to survive with his heart intact, he'll have to own up to the truth of what he wants and who he is. The trouble is figuring out just what that truth is.

"I wasn't initially excited about reading this book. I had read previous books with Ben and thought he was a complete tool. So I was skeptical from page one about my ability to get over his previous douche-ness (I'm pretty sure thats not an actual word :P)- with that being said, I was pleasantly surprised. The dialogue and the relationship between Micah and Ben was great. I actually enjoyed reading this book. Granted there were parts where I wanted to punch Ben in the face but Cardeno C. provides alot of insight (via Ben's POV) as to the reason behind all of his craziness and the story ends up (just like all her other books) in a really great place.Ben comes full circle. If you liked Cardeno C.'s other works (which I did), you'll enjoy this one as well- if you didn't this books is more in the same vein as the others." — Nik (5 out of 5 stars)

" great development on Ben's life. "
" Didn't realize it was part of a series...Guess I'll have to read it in reverse. Why don't peopel number these things? *chuckles* It was a good read, though there were moments I wanted to shake one or another of the characters. "
" 3 stars. Very sweet story about a man just coming out of the closet. I enjoyed reading in Ben's POV, because he was, as he put it, bat-shit crazy at times. :) "
" A really great book with a beautiful story of love and acceptance, great characters, inner struggles, with just the right amount of humor and heartache. Ah! and great writing too. Just how I like my books! "
" I love this series! What a good book, way to go Cardeno C, I loved this book "
" My favorite of the series! Cardeno C. is a great writer. This particular group of characters were my favorite of the series. All the books are great, just my personal preference. You will not be unhappy with any of them. Ben and Micah, and Jake and Nate are my favs! "
" I really enjoyed this addition to the series. I liked Ben and Noah becoming closer as well as Ben and Clark. Ben and Micah were interesting characters as well. "
" I liked this a lot. It was nice to follow Ben's growing up and how he finally finds his way to a fulfilled life. "
" I knew I would love Ben's story. That is all! "
" This is my favourite ot the Home series thus far. Ben was such an objectionable character in his previous appearances, so it enjoyed the way he was rehabilitated. I hope there will be a Home 6, 7, 8, etc. "
" I really like Cardeno's characters and the story was sweet and hot, just how I like them. Started with book 6, this was 5, next is 4 ^_^ "
" Sappy as with all of c,'s books, but a well written work that I enjoyed "
" Too het romance-ish for my taste, but a very poignant, satisfying ending. "
Cardeno C.—CC to friends—is a hopeless romantic who wants to add a lot of happiness and a few “awwws” into a reader’s day. Writing is a nice break from real life as a corporate type and volunteer work with gay rights organizations. Cardeno’s stories range from sweet to intense, contemporary to paranormal, long to short, but they always include strong relationships and walks into the happily-ever-after sunset.
