Summary
Ren’s homecoming wishlist includes:
•Arman not bashing everyone’s heads together （at least not without him）
•Getting the fortress built before the Mongs attack （not at the rate they’re going with all the thefts happening）
•Going home without incident （also， again， not likely）
What it did not include was:
•Social reform
•A child
•A raiding party
•Arman actually using his words
Life once again proved reality is better than fantasy， and Ren couldn’t be happier。
Except for the Mongs。 He could do without the Mongs。
Tags:
Homecoming， Arman actually uses his words， it’s a miracle， children， homophobic idiots， supportive brother， surprise visits from royalty， Ren would like to point out this was not his idea， words are hard， if you have to build a fortress do it right the first time， Arman promises to not beat the whole country to a pulp for scorning his marriage， maybe， no promises， parenting is hard， someone should have warned Arman， raiding parties are their jam， O’ Broín is a good bro， matchmaking， social change， Arman sucks at giving hints， absolutely no one is surprised by this， fantasy becomes reality

If I could give this book more than 5 stars， I would do it in a heartbeat。 I cannot accurately express how much I love this series and Ren and Arman in general。 These two will have you sitting there with a silly smile on your face while reading their banter。 One of my favorite things about this book was seeing Arman be more vocal。 There is never a moment throughout and I lost almost an entire night’s sleep because I just had to read one more chapter。 If you liked the first book at all， do yourse If I could give this book more than 5 stars， I would do it in a heartbeat。 I cannot accurately express how much I love this series and Ren and Arman in general。 These two will have you sitting there with a silly smile on your face while reading their banter。 One of my favorite things about this book was seeing Arman be more vocal。 There is never a moment throughout and I lost almost an entire night’s sleep because I just had to read one more chapter。 If you liked the first book at all， do yourself a favor and snatch this one right up。 。。。more

Sherwood is becoming a favoriteI loved the first book in this series， and this one is just as good。 I read it in one go and couldn't put it down。 While the author has said that she will be writing about other characters in the next book， I hope that Ren， Arman， and Sakura will make at least guest appearances。 Sherwood is becoming a favoriteI loved the first book in this series， and this one is just as good。 I read it in one go and couldn't put it down。 While the author has said that she will be writing about other characters in the next book， I hope that Ren， Arman， and Sakura will make at least guest appearances。 。。。more

At lastYay！ More of Arman and Ren！ I adored the original story Fourth Point of Contact and was thrilled to get another book。 These two are adorable together and oh… all the feels when Ren goes back to his homeland to build a fortress at Mizuno Harbor。 Only these two would cause such reform and change in a foreign country， as well as adopt a mini-Ren in the process。 I LOVED this book and can’t wait for the audio。 I look forward to O’Broin’s story too but I will miss these two lunatics。

I enjoy this series so much。 I think there is a good blend of humor， serious topics and the romance。 I found myself wishing the book was longer because I enjoy Ren and Arman so much。 While I’m sad this is the end of their story I am so happy we get to read about O’ Broin next！

"Is she your secret love child？" *Queen slaps Princess over the head*This sequel was everything I needed right now and well worth the wait。 It was amazing。 Funny， and witty banter。 Outrageous scenarios。 And heartfelt love between people。 We get so much for Ren and Arman in this story。 We get to see them interact in a new environment。 We get new characters to fall for。 And we get the adorebleness that is Sakura。 This child character has definitely become a favorite。 I'm sad this is it for Arman a "Is she your secret love child？" *Queen slaps Princess over the head*This sequel was everything I needed right now and well worth the wait。 It was amazing。 Funny， and witty banter。 Outrageous scenarios。 And heartfelt love between people。 We get so much for Ren and Arman in this story。 We get to see them interact in a new environment。 We get new characters to fall for。 And we get the adorebleness that is Sakura。 This child character has definitely become a favorite。 I'm sad this is it for Arman and Ren's story but I'm excited to learn more about O' Broín。 I highly recommend reading this series！ 。。。more

Wish fulfillment but like coming homeI am so glad these characters are back。 This was fun and touching。 Also well-edited which is not always the case。

This is a deeply satisfying sequelI adore 4th Pt。of Contact， so I knew I would love this sequel。 Revisiting Ren and Arman was thoroughly satiating。 Highly recommend this series。 These guys are beautiful and their stories are interesting adventures。

So worth the wait！I enjoy all of Ms。 Sherwoods books but when I stumbled on the first Legends story I found my favorite and as much as I enjoyed any subsequent books it remained my favorite。 When I saw that she was writing a sequel， I was beyond excited。 Not only do Ren and Arman continue there amazing journey but we get to hear from others that played an important part in it。 Plus we are introduced to new characters that we know will be important right away and some that I believe will come int So worth the wait！I enjoy all of Ms。 Sherwoods books but when I stumbled on the first Legends story I found my favorite and as much as I enjoyed any subsequent books it remained my favorite。 When I saw that she was writing a sequel， I was beyond excited。 Not only do Ren and Arman continue there amazing journey but we get to hear from others that played an important part in it。 Plus we are introduced to new characters that we know will be important right away and some that I believe will come into play in the next book。 Let's just hope it doesn't take as long for the next one。 Pretty please？！ 。。。more

Worth the waitI've been waiting for what seems like forever for this sequel， it was cruel to leave us hanging with that teaser at the end of Fourth Point of Contact for so long！ But thankfully it was worth the wait。 This was a great read and lovely story of hope， love， and change that reminds us that love and leading by example really do make a difference even if we don't always know it at the time。 Worth the waitI've been waiting for what seems like forever for this sequel， it was cruel to leave us hanging with that teaser at the end of Fourth Point of Contact for so long！ But thankfully it was worth the wait。 This was a great read and lovely story of hope， love， and change that reminds us that love and leading by example really do make a difference even if we don't always know it at the time。 。。。more

Great characters and relationships I've been waiting for some time for this book to be released， and it did not disappoint。 Ren and Arman set out for Ren's country of birth， where their marriage will not be accepted。 They have an important job to do， so they don't let prejudice stop them。 Along the way they change the attitudes of the people， by courage and sheer bullheadedness。 The characters and their relationships are why I love these books。 Ren and Arman shine together， each with their own s Great characters and relationships I've been waiting for some time for this book to be released， and it did not disappoint。 Ren and Arman set out for Ren's country of birth， where their marriage will not be accepted。 They have an important job to do， so they don't let prejudice stop them。 Along the way they change the attitudes of the people， by courage and sheer bullheadedness。 The characters and their relationships are why I love these books。 Ren and Arman shine together， each with their own strengths and frailties。 I enjoy the other characters around them， and I particularly like how the female characters are written。 They have depth and strength。 I find that lacking in many other gay romances。 I recommend this book to any reader that enjoys reading about solid relationships。 It helps that it humorous， too。 I do love Arman being puzzled over communication。 。。。more

5/5Absolutely great book。 Ren and Arman needed this book to wrap up their story and it did not fail。 The new addition to their family make them all the more lovable！

Love it！ Ren and Arman are my favorite！ I love Fourth Point of Contact and was so happy when I found out another book was coming！ This time Ren and Arman are in Ren’s native country。 I liked that Ren got to see his brother and family， and that old and new friends showed up。 I especially loved see how their family grew and that one seemingly little personal thing changed a several countries。 So worth the wait and it’s going on my list of favorites and comfort reads。

The good+ Arman。 He's so adorable+ Ren。 I love how he is unapologetically himself all the time+ The first time Saku fed Arman。 My heart just melted。 And Arman sharing food right back。 So adorable+ Arman's soft heart+ The men being in a homophobic country， and instead of the focus being on the homophobia， the focus lying on the changes they brought on+ All their friends coming to their aid。 I love how they could get through this with people they trusted， instead of having to work with foreigners The good+ Arman。 He's so adorable+ Ren。 I love how he is unapologetically himself all the time+ The first time Saku fed Arman。 My heart just melted。 And Arman sharing food right back。 So adorable+ Arman's soft heart+ The men being in a homophobic country， and instead of the focus being on the homophobia， the focus lying on the changes they brought on+ All their friends coming to their aid。 I love how they could get through this with people they trusted， instead of having to work with foreigners who resented them and they couldn't really trust+ （view spoiler）[Them adopting Sakura。 I love how Arman just 'claims' people he likes， and how Ren didn't even really have a choice but to adopt with him （hide spoiler）]+ The queen claiming （view spoiler）[Sakura （hide spoiler）] as her new Warden for the future when Ren retires+ Ren punching that asshole in the face+ Arman using his words+ People's surpise at Arman using his words+ （view spoiler）[Sakura's fighting skills。 Definitely her fathers' daughter （hide spoiler）]+ （view spoiler）[Both fathers supporting Sakura when she beats up three assholes （"Carry on。"） （hide spoiler）]+ Both fathers fully supporting their child， even though they're scared shitless a lot of the time+ （view spoiler）[Sakura learning about a whole new world where she's accepted instead of shunned （"Old people could joke？"） （hide spoiler）]+ Ren and Arman's happily ever afterThe neutralo There were a few more people whose heads deserved to be bashed by Arman （（view spoiler）[*cough cough* Ren's parents （hide spoiler）]）， but I understand the way this was dealt with in the bookThe bad- I was really confused by how much time passed。 I could have used a few more hints to how far into their planned year they were every now and thenI would definitely recommend this book and Fourth Point of Contact。 They're just awesome。 This book was even better than the first。 。。。more

Action that does not disappoint AJ is great at making you really feel for her characters and she is great at making you laugh。 Knowing the two main characters you’d think Ren would be the funny one but really Arman is silent but silly。
