When ranking his rotten luck, it was hard to decide which topped the list.
The injury that could end his career in the SEALs.
The storm of the century that stranded him in Atlanta Airport.
The naked man he found on top of his girlfriend . . .
One thing was certain. Things couldn't get much worse. Then he met her.

Super star.
Super stuck up.
Super sexy.
Super engaged to be married...

It was just an odd job to tide him over while he waited to see if he'd heal enough to get back on the team. Close personal protection for a singer so famous even he'd heard of her. He was supposed to be her bodyguard. And guard her body he did. Day . . . and night. His new boss probably didn't have protection that close or that personal in mind.

He wasn't supposed to fall for her. Then again, she wasn't supposed to be so smart, and funny, and wounded, and in need of saving.

Now he has a decision to make. Quit the military career he'd worked half his life for and take the job as her permanent head of security, just to be near her. Forget about her and take any job his command would give him in his current broken condition. Or do the craziest thing of all. Confess his feelings and hope to make it work. With her. As a normal couple. A real couple, if that was even possible given who she was. It's an impossible decision, but he'll be damned if he'll let her stalker or his bullet make it for him.

Meh…hero not too bright, story rather silly

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

The hero isn’t exactly the brightest lightbulb and the story did not make much sense. He gets mad because he thinks she cheated but hey, it is ok since she isn’t really engaged but he did not know that at the time, so why is he mad at her? Takes two to tango. He calls his family for help to get her out of the condo, but he does not bother checking for trackers and lets her use her cell phone. Then there is the really ridiculous part that goes into detail about how he can’t answer his phone because he has food on his fingers. Never really explains how certain events took place inside the female’s apartment (mirror writing). There are story lines introduced but not finished. It is all rather silly and not that well written.

Great Close-out of the 2021 Series

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have so very much enjoyed reading The Long Road Home series and was ecstatic to learn it will continue on in 2022. Yay! The last book in this current series, Home Front, was a great close out. Being sidelined from missions is every SEAL' s worst nightmare and Kyle Jones is in the middle of his nightmare. A temp job as close cover protection for a wildly popular superstar isn't exactly high on his "things I need to do once in my lifetime" list. The last thing Luna Blue wants is a 24/7 babysitter but recent threats have made her think twice. These two definitely get off on the wrong foot by making a lot of assumptions about one another. Spending time together has them both reassessing. Things escalate both with the threats and with the seriously hot chemistry between them. Keeping Luna safe has become Kyle's driving fore but once the job is done they go back to their lives. Were they just a brief interlude with the other or is there something more long-lasting there?

Amazing book

What a great way to write this story. Kyle and Luna are amazing. Kyle is home on medical leave for getting injured in the line of duty and has to deal with getting home to find it’s no longer home and he needs the comfort of home and family to recuperate. Then he meets Blessing when stranded at the airport with the others. She tells him he is on the right path to have patience. Once home he realizes he needs to heal and in a way to keep busy contacts the security company on the card that Blessing gave him. Through them he meets Luna, a diva until Kyle realizes not all is as it seems. Intrigue, suspense and twists and lots of friendship and romance as he and Luna realize what they have. What a great story. Loved the epilogue and the stories. This book is a must read.

An injured SEAL and a famous singer being stalked

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Kyle breaks up with his girlfriend and heads home to rehab what could be a career ending ankle injury. At the Atlanta USO a volunteer named Blessing gives him a card for the Guardian Angel Protection Services thinking he might need an option for after leaving the Navy. Luna, a famous singer, has received threats that escalate. Her manager contacts Guardian Angel. Kyle calls Guardian Angels and accepts the job and is assigned as Luna's bodyguard. Kyle considers her to be a spoiled diva until the stalker threats become more aggressive. Can he protect her and keep his heart from getting involved with Luna who he thinks has a fiance? Can she be herself around Kyle and stay safe? A very good 5th book in the "Long Road Home" Series by the Binge Read Babes.

Touching story

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

I enjoyed this story and the series ended on a happy positive direction.
I will say Luna’s medical challenges touch my heart as there are loved ones in my life having to face similar challenges and it is such a difficult choice. Kyle is on a medical leave recuperating from an ankle injury. Now honestly with his discovery about the cheating from his girlfriend, I was a bit surprised that the author had him in a sexual encounter with Luna before he knew her engagement wasn’t real.
Things did work out and the story has all kinds of action, suspense and a very delightful ending! I do look forward to the next round of the series!

He thinks she is a dive. She thinks he is a jerk. They both figure out how wrong they are.

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2021

Coming home from deployment broken and not sure if his career is ended, Kyle finds his girlfriend in bed with someone else so he heads home to New York to recuperate. Luna is a rock star performing at several colleges near Albany when she starts getting threatening messages. Her manager/cousin hires a bodyguard and Kyle shows up. With the attitude they have towards each other, you wonder if they might end up killing each other or in bed wit each other. Can they work out their differences and figure out who is threatening her? Will it be the person the first suspect or someone else?

The SEAL and the Singer

Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2021

The Long Road Home is a series written by 5 different authors whose writing styles mesh seamlessly. I was familiar with some of the authors and now some are my new favorites. That said, each book is a standalone. Romance and friendship, sinister dealings and protection. Strong men and strong women. Home Front is the last book of the series and is a page turned with many twists to the plot (a familiar trait with each of the books). Bravo!!! And, yes, I plan to follow the many authors in this series.

A great ending

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2021

Book 5 is the final story in the Long Road Home series. Cat Johnson has given us a story of a broken man, both physically and mentally, and a young woman whose life isn't her own. Luna and Kyle deal with misunderstanding, stalkers, health issues, family and career decisions. I loved Pedro and his hatred for Chad. I laughed out loud every time. I appreciate how Cat gives us an ending of the series and Ms Blessings Boys. Beautiful story. I look forward to more from these 5 Fab Writers

What a series

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 6, 2021

This has been a fantastic series and I can’t wait for the next one. Kyle has been injured on duty and is coming home to recuperate, his first shock is discovering his girlfriend is being unfaithful so he goes home to his family in up state New York. En route he gets delayed at the airport where he meet Blessing where she does her “ woo woo stuff” and tells him he’ll meet his “ one”. At home as part of his recovery and because he’s bored he gets in touch with GAP a security company made up of Seals , the details of which were given to him by Blessing. He’s given a job protecting Luna a famous singer who is being threatened. He thinks she is a spoiled diva but is completely shocked to realise what she is dealing with.
This book addresses some serious health issues with sensitivity. H epilogue is awesome and sets us up nicely for next year. Highly recommended

Loved it

I’ve loved reading the long road home series. This book is the finale…..so far. Kyle is angry because he’s injured and might not be able to return to his seal team. While recuperating he takes on the job as Luna’s personal security. He soon learns not to judge a book by it’s cover. I throughly enjoyed reading Kyle and Luna’s journey into friendship and then love. I really enjoyed catching up with Blessing and finding a bit more about her. I’m even more delighted that there are going to be more books in the series and I can’t wait to read them.
