From USA Today Bestselling Author Allie Juliette MousseauA #1 Amazon Best Seller in War and Military Romance! "When you're lost... True North" The North brothers were hell on wheels-adrenaline-junky bad boys. You’d think they had a death wish – every one of them – but they didn’t really, they just got off on the thrill of pushing every limit, that gravity or any other force told them they couldn’t conquer. What they weren't prepared for were the women that would steal their hearts.Book 1 True North Finding Home Livie and JakeLivie Morrisey is dreading seeing Jake after his heroic homecoming from Afghanistan. She's been in love with Jake North since she was a little girl, but he was three-and-a-half years older than her and her big brother’s best friend. She was always nothing but the off-limits little sister – until the night before Jake left for the Army, when he'd given her her first kiss. They'd kept in touch for a year, but once Jake was deployed to Afghanistan, he'd cut off contact suddenly and she'd never heard from him again. For the past three years Livie has kept herself distracted with homework and her university studies, but now Jake's going to be up close and personal. And Livie can’t decide if tonight's finally the night to prove to Jake she’s all grown up or the night she should let him go forever.Follow the True North and it's interconnected series Brothers of Ink and Steel:Books by Allie Juliette Mousseau:True North Bk 1 Finding Home - Livie and JakeTrue North Book 2 Finding Us - Jules and NateTrue North Book 3 Finding Now - Kate and SamDare (Brothers of Ink and Steel Book 1)Burn (Brothers of Ink and Steel Book 2)Dare You Forever (Brothers of Ink and Steel Novella 2.5)Defy (Brothers of Ink and Steel Book 3)Books by Raeah Wilding (aka Allie Juliette)ORION (A Constellations Novel)

Finding Home tells the emotional and sweet story of Jake and Livie. Olivia Morrisey has loved her older brothers best friend, Jake North since she was 7 years old. Despite sharing a strong friendship over the years built on late night conversations and an ability to communicate with each other through music nothing romantic has ever actually occurred between them due to both the 3 year age gap and respect for her brother.

When Olivia is 15, a then 18 year old Jake signs up to join the military. The night before he leaves he gets Olivia alone and gives her necklace. He tells her that he has always loved her and that no matter where he is she will always have his heart. The pair share a beautiful first kiss that will be forever ingrained in both their minds and their hearts.

While Jake is deployed they remain in regular contact via letters, email and Skype for the first year but one day the communication stops all together leaving a heartbroken Livie wondering why.

After being gone for 4 years, Jake, now a town war hero returns home and the pair come face to face after 3 longs years of not speaking. From the moment their eyes meet across the crowd old sparks of desire and love re-ignite into an inferno. However, Liv soon realises that the Jake who left 4 years ago is not the same Jake that has returned home now. Plagued by demons, haunted by nightmares and carrying so much pain and disappointment Jake is falling apart. Is Livie's unconditional love enough to help him put the pieces back together and help find the man he is again?.

This was a beautiful story about first love and it's ability to transcend time and conquer all. It was sweet, emotional and thought provoking.

This book touches on the very real issue of PTSD and Mousseau manages to deliver it with emotion and sensitivity whilst still addressing some very important facts.

I really enjoyed the characters in this book, both primary and secondary. Liv was solid in her love for Jake and that love as well as her kindness and compassion radiated in everything she did.

Jake was a complex character, his love for Livie was undeniable but his pain was palpable. He carried so much emotional baggage that it was constantly threatening to drag him under. He was big, brave and strong but he also had a vulnerability you can't help but be drawn to.

The secondary characters in the book not only enhanced this story but also got under my skin enough that I am eager to read their stories, starting with Nate and Jules's story next - Finding Us .

For my first Mousseau book I was impressed and cannot wait to read more of her books!

I liked this although it followed the formula it didn't in many ways the characters were interesting with an eye to future books. It told a very real story for too many Americans at the moment with just enough detail to be interesting, definitely but skilfully interwoven into the romance.

Jake and Olivia have been crazy about each other since they were kids but never really said or did anything about that. He's @ 3 years older than her and that type of age different matters when you're 13 & 16...not so much at 19 & 22. Jake joins the Army after HS. He's looking to find himself and make his own mark on the world without relying on the family's wealth. He has no interest in taking over any portion of the family's businesses. I cannot begin to tell you how much respect I have for a man like that - even if he's a fictional character here. Liv is 15 when he leaves, but they share a special moment then and her first kiss the night before he leaves. The book starts at his welcome home party, and he's not the same person he was when he left. He's been to war and has carried home a lot of baggage with no one to help carry the load. Jake is so happy when he sees Liv, but he's having so many issues dealing with everything that he's experienced. They fight and make up. They fight again, she goes back to school and he vanishes. Of course he turns up and they talk and become the couple in life that they always were in their hearts. However, we've barely begun the book here. Let me tell you - what you will read after that is emotional, will tear you up, make you question a lot of things and make you believe that HEA's are always possible in life. There are several war scenes described. They are not full of gore to make you cringe, but they are written in a way that makes your heart bleed for every soldier involved. It's a glimpse into their day to day lives that is never discussed and would never be in the mainstream media. I admire the way the story was told and how the scenes were writtten. I have friends and family that have served in all branches at varying levels from Vietnam to Afghanistan. Allie does them all proud with the way she wrote the trials and tribulations Jake went through not only while serving, but the aftermath that ensued upon his discharge. I am honored to have read this book. Everyone should read this book - ESPECIALLY if you have loved ones that are or have served.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant and emotional
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2014

I don't even know where to begin in explaining all that went into this book to make it so damn brilliant. It radiates with emotion and drama and angst but at the same time it is so profoundly moving in dealing with the very real and devastating effects of PTSD in soldiers and the repercussions of that disorder and the fall out effect it has on those around them.

Jake is the solider in this story and Livie is his shining beacon of hope in a world filled with darkness and pain. Their love story was nothing short of beautiful to read unfolding through each page and over each and every hurdle and there are som doozy's. Jake is magnificent in this story, your heart literally aches for him, all you want to do is take his demons away for him, heal him- much like our heroine Livie wants and attempts to do. She too was a terrific character- stunning, strong, unyielding in her life-long love for Jake no matter how dark it or he got and simply just a beautiful person inside and out. Even the secondary characters add something to True North, Jules, Nate, the North brood and Livie's alcoholic dad and absentee mother. There is so much love and emotion here as well as added spice and a great chemistry between the two main protagonists. (Loved the drinking game at the homecoming party! Hawwwwt.)

I really don't want to ruin the entire story for you but at one point when I thought one thing, something completely different and gobsmacking happened and I don't know if I was the only one who didn't see it coming, but holy hell! You'll know what I'm talking about once you read the italics and don't blame me if your Max Factor waterproof mascara becomes a black Max Factor waterfall down your cheeks, I forewarned you! If you're looking for a beautiful romance that packs an unbelievable wallop of angst, epic love and emotion, buy True North.

Allie Juliette Mousseau's writing is wonderful. She knows how to bring fun and laughter to a situation (A certain concert scene 'Now it's a party') but she can bring the seriousness just as well, and manages it all with such aplomb and understanding of the topic that you take a minute at the end of the book and think 'S***, this is real-life. This happens every day.' That makes True North all the more poignant...
Definite Book Hangover material right here. Jake has just been added to my top ten book heroes of all time, and that's a damn selective list to be on. Great story, great writing, great characters...need I say more?

Finding Home is a nice read with honest main characters and a great cast of secondary characters, whom I want to read more about.

This book contains some heavy subject matter and hints at some of the challenges soldiers returning home face. I don't have a soldier in my immediate sphere, so I can't speak to how accurately PTSD and related concerns are portrayed, but there's enough here to know a lot more needs to be done. That being said, this first book in the True North series isn't a downer and is perfect for a rainy day when you don't mind a bit of indignation with your romance.

MY REVIEW
I adore Allie Juliette Mousseau and her writing style, she brings everyone of her characters to life with such great detail. Her plots draw you in and fill you with such emotion bringing the story to another level of enjoyment.
I have fallen in love with the North family and their extended family having read The Ink and Steel Brothers books, you just cannot wait to get your hands on the next family members story.
Olivia and Jake have shared a secret attraction over many years and the small glimpses we saw of how they spent time together in secret before Jake joined the army were beautiful.
I really enjoyed how the story unfolded with Jake and Olivia trying to restart their relationship, and im really glad they had to work at it, that Allie didnt make it a easy road for them, it made it so much more interesting.
Along their up hill struggle Livie really stepped up to push Jake through the hard times to help him overcome the serious issue many service people face when trying to fit back into the civilian mould.
Jake and Livie's story is one of those that proves true love is out there, they had young love, a separation and then that love was rekindled ten fold.
