Review: Home to Comfort
With Patsy leading resort security, FBI agents, and Mason on a merry chase, Gloria knows that if you want to catch a woman of a certain age, you have to think like a woman of a certain age. Thankfully, she’s got the credentials.
If only she could understand the other people in her life—particularly Gardner Rogers. Gloria returns home to Comfort, Texas with a ring, a pressing need to organize her house, and a custom order of Sweeties signature truffles to be delivered to White House chefs. When her business partner embarks on last-minute travel plans, one of her best friends announces a retirement, romances bloom from unlikely sources, and Gardner and her ex-husband, Harry Rogers, come unhinged—quite publicly—it all forces Gloria to face her strangest challenges yet.
This final book in the Comfort and Joy trilogy weaves happy endings for the townsfolk that readers have come to love, and just deserts for those they don’t. It’s Kimberly Fish at her finest, and a treasure for brave people who don’t retire quietly.

I usually do not read (or review) books that I read out of order. I am a completist at heart and prefer to read books in order even when I am told that I don’t have to. In regards to Kimberly Fish’s Home to Comfort, I was glad to have broken my rule because now I will for sure have to go back and read about Gloria from the beginning. I had to get caught up and found myself reading the synopses for the first two books in order to get a grip on the timeline for this third book in the Comfort and Joy series.
I loved reading about a strong woman who is older in age who is both successful and thoughtful. A lot of books are focused on the younger set, but as someone who is now very much in the older category, I appreciate thoughtful and well-rounded stories such as this one. A story in which Gloria finds herself in surprising circumstances and facing challenges. Gloria’s adventures are done in a way that truly engage the reader, making it very easy to keep turning the page. I truly felt the heart in this story and it is partly what has me wanting to go back from the beginning and read it properly the whole way through.
For readers of the Comfort and Joy series, you will undoubtedly be quite satisfied with this read. For those looking for a well-rounded story about a strong woman facing life head-on, do yourself a favor and start from the first book in the series. I think we will not be disappointed.
