Editorial Reviews

Dandelion Dandelion
In When Johnny Comes Home, Ms. Watters gives us a lovely, heartfelt story about what happens after war, when a soldier comes home and discovers that the woman he left behind is not the same one who waits for him to return. This was a very satisfying read, aside from some minor editing issues. The setting, post-WWII small town America, is well constructed, and the main characters are flawed, injured by war and its fallout, but extremely likable. You will root for them to fall in love!
Linda L
When Johnny Comes Home is a heartwarming story that transports the reader to an era where even though the conflict of war is raging and bringing sorrow to many families, it is a nostalgia that is hard to forget. Kim Watters paints a beautiful read that captures the reader and holds them spellbound. I could read this sweet romance over and over again, and still feel my heart melt again with characters that release great emotion.

Do you want a quick book that will make you go awww? Well When Johnny Comes Home is definitely the book for you then. Ms. Watters had me cheering for Audrey and hoping that Johnny could see what was really before his eyes and in his heart. This was a wonderful touching romance.

Meet the Author

At twelve years old Kim Watters fell in love with romance after she borrowed a romance novel from the bookshelf of her older sister. An avid reader, Kim was soon hooked on the happily ever after. For years, Kim dreamt of writing her own romance novel, but she never seemed to have the time. After graduating from college, she moved into Chicago to pursue another dream of being an actress and a model. Tired after six years of the hustle and bustle of the city, she relocated to a small town in Arizona north of Phoenix where there are no sidewalks or public transportation and the cowboys still ride their horses around. There Kim finally found the time to write. Five published novels and five short stories later, she still lives in that same town with her two children, three rambunctious kittens and one nervous hamster. She’s a member of RWA, NINC, PASIC, ACFW, Desert Rose RW, and Valley of the Sun RW.
