Calling Me Home

The Calling Me Series – Book 3

By Louise Bay

Synopsis

Is it possible for a guy to turn on a switch and realize he’s been in love with a girl that’s been under his nose for over a decade? Ashleigh Franklin can’t decide.

Ashleigh wants the fairy tale. Ever since she was a kid, her best friend’s brother, Luke, has been her fantasy Prince Charming. Now he’s trying to convince her that she’s the one he’s wanted all these years. There’s no way it’s that easy to escape the friend zone.

Single after years living with a girlfriend, Luke has finally woken up. What he’s been waiting for has been right under his nose for almost his entire life. Can he persuade her that he’s serious and won’t break her heart?

A Wonder Woman costume, a bottle of tequila and a game of truth or dare between two close friends changes everything.

Tracey’s Review

Finally, FINALLY, Ashleigh and Luke have found their way back to each other. And, really, these two are just wonderful together. Although Ashleigh accepts what Luke has said and known all along, that they belong together, she wants to take things slowly, and Luke is happy to make her happy. It doesn’t take long, though, for them to end up just where they’re meant to be, HEA and everything.

CALLING ME HOME is the perfect ending to this series. Seeing Ash and Luke come to the conclusions that we had known all along is wonderful. Their love story is so romantic, and I loved seeing them come full circle. Having Haven, Jake, and Beth along for the ride makes everything much more fun, and like a visit from old friends. The epilogue is the icing on the cake, as I always want a nice wrap-up, and Louise has done a lovely job of tying things up here.

Reading one of Louise’s books is always a treat for me, and this book and series is no exception. I enjoyed and recommend each book in the Calling Me series, and can’t wait for Beth to get her happily ever after. 5 happy, romantic, couldn’t be sweeter stars for this one.

Tracey’s Review

Now that Ashleigh and Luke’s relationship has taken a very different direction, things are starting to change. While Luke couldn’t be more thrilled and sure that everything is just as it should be, Ash is in retreat and reconsider mode.

Let me be clear about this: I am in love with this series. I fall a little bit harder for Louise Bay’s writing with each book of hers that I read. Luke has won my heart, and Ash, although she’s making me crazy, makes me want to grab her and hug her and reassure her that everything will work out. If CALLING ME BACK was the build-up of the evolution of the relationship between Luke and Ash, CALLING ME AWAY is the dip, the sort of ‘oh, my goodness, NOW what do we do?!’ part of the story. It’s that part that makes me, as a reader, feel all angsty and unsure, just wishing that these two could get back on the same page and get together already. With all of that said, though, this story just makes the anticipation of CALLING ME HOME, the third and final book in this series, that much sweeter. Getting to see more of Haven, Jake (who I am loving even more the more that I see of him), and Beth is an added bonus. 5 angsty, nail-biting, impatient yet hopeful stars for CALLING ME AWAY. Book 3 can’t come soon enough!

Tracey’s Review

Ashleigh Franklin has been in love with Luke Daniels for as long as she can remember. She even knows the exact moment when her heart became his. But Luke has always seen Ash as another little sister, a member of his family. Lately things seem to have changed, though, and now Ash doesn’t know quite what to make of it.

I met and loved Ash in WHAT THE LIGHTNING SEES, Haven and Jake’s story. As the crazy best friend and third member of the trio made up of Haven and her brother, Jake, Ash constantly had me laughing with her snark and sass. In this book, we see another side of Ash. We see her vulnerability, her utter and absolute love for Luke, and how torn she is between wishing him well in his current relationship and wishing that he could be hers.

Luke has always seen Ash as an extension of his family, always just there and much loved. He can’t imagine a life without Ash in it, even as he comes to the realization that he may not feel the same way about Emma, his girlfriend of three years. When life changes occur, it’s Ash that’s uppermost in Luke’s thoughts, and life as they knew it changes drastically.

I love the characters that Louise Bay writes. I’ve always said that they are just the type of people that I would want to be friends with, and I feel exactly the same about this book. CALLING ME BACK is a book that captured me from the first page, and I could not put it down until I’d reached the end, all too soon, I might add. Delighted about the way that things played out in this book, I was left just…waiting. As this is the first book in a trilogy, I fully expected the cliffhanger, and Louise delivered in a fashion that has me waiting impatiently to get my hands on CALLING ME AWAY (Book 2). 5 lovely, sexy, romantic, oh, finally! stars for CALLING ME BACK.
