Before long, Cole sends out his own SOS. His eight year-old daughter needs a woman's care and concern. And Kate Kennedy never could resist a challenge.

From the Author

Lake Michigan beach towns have always held a special place in my heart. Golden sand, endless summer days, collecting wild flowers for the kitchen...and then a trip to town. You can't beat it. Gull Harbor actually exists, but under another name. Writing about the wonderful people, charming restaurants, bakeries and ice cream shops takes me there for a mini-vacation. I hope Coming Home to You, as well as all of the Man from Yesterday stories, will give you the same feeling. Isn't the beach the perfect place for love to bloom, especially the second time around?

Kate came back to town to take care of her mother. She ran into a high school crush. He was a single dad now. They were meant to be together. Took some time to realize it. Wonderful love story. Can’t wait to read the whole series.

Kate Kennedy has left Boston and come home to Gull Harbor, Michigan. Her mother has suffered a stroke and is recovering in a care facility, and Kate’s older sister is too busy with her business in New York City. Kate has not only left Boston behind; she’s also left her former husband, and their final divorce decree is imminent.

Cole Campbell is a developer in Gull Harbor, determined to make sure that the town doesn’t go the way of so many other towns and die. Not everyone in town is thrilled with the changes he’s bringing. Cole is divorced from the girl he dated in high school and then married; no one knows the whole story, but she’s off in California and he has full custody of their young daughter.

In high school, Cole and Kate were on the debate team together. He’s two years older, and Kate always had a crush on him, and perhaps more than a crush. But he broke her heart by taking the girl he eventually married to the senior prom. Kate finds herself just as attracted to him more than 10 years later, but she doesn’t like how he’s changing the town. And she joins the opposition, including secretly printing and distributing leaflets opposing Cole’s plans.

“Coming Home to You” by Barbara Lohr is the story of Kate and Cole, and it turns on several narrative themes – the romance between Kate and Cole, Kate’s decision on whether or not to return to Boston, Kate’s relationship with her mother and older sister, and Cole’s plans to revitalize and save Gull Harbor.

Lohr is the author of numerous romance novels, developed under three series. The Windy City series is comprised of seven novels, as is the Man from Yesterday series (“Coming Home to You” is the first in this series). She’s also published two novels in the Friends to Lovers series, as well as three novellas and several short stories. She lives in the South.

Will Kate’s anti-development activity become public? Will she resolve longstanding issues with her mother and sister? And will Kate and Cole work through their individual pasts to find each other? “Coming Home to You” is a fast-reading, entertaining story – and smoothly sets the stage for the novels-to-come in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really clean, talk of sex outside marriage and some suggestive sentences.
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2022

I liked the book at first, but it started mentioning sex outside marriage and some suggestive sentences made me lose interest. I felt for Kate as Mercedes was the favorite daughter, yet Mercedes only came home briefly while Kate came and stayed to help their mother. Sounds like Mercedes was considered the "golden child" when they were growing up and that doesn't help her deal with the real world when her business starts failing. Plus Mercedes had decided to sell her mother's house without talking to her mother-and I don't think she could have done it anyway since she didn't own it. So many characters to try and keep track of too.

I also found it weird as it was never revealed why Cole's wife left, some talk about her being sick although it sounds like she just left them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great new series
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2016

Barbara Lohr has begun a great new series with the Man From Yesterday series. " Coming Home to You"is the first book.

I loved all the characters in this novel. They were all so real, had great rapport with one another and brought so many dimensions to this novel.

Coming back hone after her mother's second stroke, Kate expects to return to a town that is a lot like her childhood home town. Some things have remained the same, but with the recession many things have changed. Kate is not too fond of the changes.

Cole, her high school crush, can still get her all flustered. But he also owns the construction company that is trying to revitalize the town, thus playing a role in the changes around town. For Kate, meshing the man and his "mission" is something she is having trouble accepting. But things change over time...for Kate, Cole, their friends, and the town. New bonds are formed; old and new friendships become important; revitalization creates change but sometimes repurposing them is also keeping them "the same".

The novel is a sweet and heartwarming one. It is a wonderful read that brings great joy from its pages and a warmth in the readers heart. It isn't sappy at all, just truly enjoyable. The characters and storyline are very realistic. Everyday and familial issues, both past and present play a big role, as do other issues.

The only "issue" I had with this novel was the editing issues. They are not excessive or major, but are there. They do not take away from the novel, its storyline or any major aspect of the novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gentle small town romance
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2020
Verified Purchase
A gentle story that encompasses the rhythm of life in small-town Gull Harbor, this novel brings healing and restoration into the lives of the residents. Kate returns home just as her divorce is being made final, to take care of her mother who never needed nor wanted anyone's help. Family dynamics are such that Katy has always felt the odd one out, but for the first time instead of feeling a failure, she learns to start standing up for what she believes in. Meeting up once again with Cole, her highschool crush, is awkward but she soon learns that he too has had to evolve. The story would not be complete without Cole's little girl Natalie and his very expressive Great Dane Priscilla. Although the story moved along at a fairly slow pace, the characters keep one entertained as their lives intertwine and they interact with one another. The book is well written and the author's understanding of human nature and the difficulties that come with aging parents is evident. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and although part of a series, it is a standalone and comes to a joyful conclusion.
