Review: Almost Home by Alex Blaine 3 of 5 stars

Almost Home: Contemporary M-Lac Gay Romance









My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Joshua, worn down after a year of trying to build a life that never comes together, decides it’s time to “go home” the way his grandpa once described — by ending everything. After a final meal and a last ride along the coast, he heads for the cliffs. Matthew, who sensed something was wrong back at the diner, spots Joshua’s abandoned bike and steps in, unable to ignore someone in need.

The story opens with such a dramatic, unforgettable moment that it completely set the tone — and honestly, nothing that followed ever quite eclipsed the intensity of that first meeting between Matthew and Joshua. Their introduction was raw, emotional, and gripping in a way that stayed with me throughout the book. I really appreciated how Matthew stepped in afterward, insisting Joshua get counselling and doing everything he could to help him rebuild — offering stability, a job, a home, and even safe transport. His steady care was one of the strongest parts of the story. That said, I did feel the book missed an opportunity by not letting them talk openly about what kind of relationship they actually wanted. With everything they’d been through, that lack of communication was noticeable. Still, the story was easy to read, easy to feel, and easy to understand — a heartfelt journey that began with a dramatic rescue and grew into something tender. This was an MM story with mature content and a Daddy/boy like dynamic with male lactation.
