Whatever they’ve figured out between them works-not just for them, but the whole town, as well.Īfter four books, I’ve become attached to this series, and I’m very sorry for it to end. Or blowing up the evidence room at the police station. No longer the prodigal, he’s his best self now, especially with Wade at his side.
The citizens of Mosely really are Jericho’s people, and the comfort he finds in accepting it is both evident and welcome. Still more to like about Home Fires is that there’s plenty of humor, albeit as dry and sarcastic as ever, if not more so. Besides, there were plenty of other things to fight in Home Fires, so why bother?
They’ve earned their resolution and I was glad to see them have it at last. Often teasing, but hardly ever explicit, their relationship is born of scars and memory and is as restless as the characters themselves. It’s certainly among the best showdowns I’ve read in a long while.ĭespite the inherent battles Jericho and Wade fight within the shades of gray that surround them, the affection and wanting that simmers and flares between them is undeniable. In what is arguably one of the better confrontations in the Common Law stories, whatever uncertainty still existed in Jericho’s mind is thoroughly destroyed, and I enjoyed reading it tremendously. While the more suspenseful elements have consistently been my favorite moments of the series, Home Fires has a few that I think excel over the others. And though my fondness for Wade hasn’t lessened one bit, I’ve now fallen for Jericho, too, and feel that both men got an ending to the story that suits them very well. While I had a couple of random issues early in the series, this story brought everything together far better than I had anticipated it might. I’ve had the pleasure of following the Common Law series from the beginning, and I believe Home Fires to be the best yet.
