About this ebook

Meet Ian Callaway and catch up with two popular Callaway siblings, Emma and Burke, in this charming and fun Callaway novella that will sweep you away to Ireland in a tale of romance and adventure!

When Eleanor Callaway asks three of her grandchildren to make a trip to her childhood home in Ireland, they have no idea her plan for each of them will make this a life-changing trip. 

Emma, the spunky, never-say-quit, fire investigator is happily married but has been struggling to have a child. While many of her siblings are welcoming new babies, Emma is afraid that she may never be a mother, but a trip to the Emerald Isle shows her that family is not always about bloodlines. 

Burke Callaway saved his cousin's life in a fire, but now he's dealing with a possible career-ending injury. All he's ever wanted to be is a firefighter, to follow in the steps of the men who came before him. But this oldest son, for whom responsibility weighs heavy, now has a chance to discover a new and more free-spirited side of himself.

Ian Callaway is a world-renowned scientist, but his high IQ has been isolating. This sexy, attractive genius meets his hero in Ireland—a mysterious professor who is about to send him off on an adventure that will both threaten and change his life forever.

Ratings and reviews

This was a short and quick read about the Callaways. Emma, Burke and Ian are sent to Ireland by their grandmother to experience where she grew up. The book skips around between the three which was a little confusing for me. You get to learn more about Emma and her husband Max, Burke and his wife Maddie and then the brilliant cousin Ian. It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. I will probably read the next book, just because I'm curious to read Ian's story. I do prefer one story at a time instead of three in the same book though! I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest opinion.

The Callaways are united in love and tenacious in spirit. Both are good qualities to have but sometimes that tenacity can be a negative. Take Me Home is a multi - faceted reward for any fan of Barbara Freeway and her Callaway series. Die hard fans get to catch up with Burke, Maddie, Emma and Max but we also get a glimpse at another Callaway relative, Ian. Sometimes we need a fresh perspective to open our eyes to all of the possibilities that life has to offer. Emma and Burke learn that lesson first hand. With every story Ms. Freethy blends wisdom, hope and courage with captivating novels of what a family was meant to be.

Another delightful Calloway clan story. I love the description of grandmother Eleanor having a twinkle in her eyes, once again. With memories of her homeland Ireland, she wants to see it once again.Though this time it will be thru the eyes of her 3 grandchildren. Though each of them say they can't take the time. For grandmother is dear to them, how can they refuse. After getting over to Ireland they each are given a specific letter. For Burke and his wife Maddie will embark on a treasure hunt. For Ian he's to met someone. For Emma and Max met grandmother's best friend. So what was in the letters ? What did they find, and how did it change their lives. The 3 find so much more. Great, heartwarming story, you will love. Looking forward to the next book. Given ARC for my honest opinion, of which I have given.
