review 1: TI AMO ENZO! Ava Bradshaw comes home early from a disastrous girls trip to find her boyfriend asleep, in their bed, with a naked woman. Does she scream? Does she throw things? No! She turns around, walks out, leaving everything behind and goes to her parents house. Her solution to this mess that is now her life? She decides to move to Arizona and start over from scratch. Also promises to swear off men for at least a year. Enzo Milano is a rich relatively famous architect and hotel magnate. He’s been once burned so he’s twice shy and is all about going from woman to woman for casual encounters without any kind of commitment. He surrounds himself with his assorted siblings and grows his empire. His business, his family and Italy are his life and the things that h... moree loves the most.How do these two meet? Ava gets bumped to 1st class so that a family can all sit together and gets seated next to Enzo. Ava thinks he is the most beautiful man she’s ever laid eyes on. At this point we don’t know what Enzo thinks of Ava but he decides to be nice to her. Unfortunately or fortunately in this case, he introduces her to Lambrusco. Her nerves make her drink a little too much too fast and Ava ends up drunk. Her belongings haven’t arrived and she doesn’t have the keys to her new apartment. I guess this move wasn’t fully thought out in her haste to get the heck out of Dodge. What’s a girl supposed to do? What else? Accept the offer of the rich, hotel owning, very sexy man that sat next to you on the plane. Did I mention that Enzo is Italian and has an accent?! C’mon who could resist that combination?! The promise to swear off men for a year goes out the window as fast as a snowflake would melt in hell.Enzo continues to be generous. Ava is overwhelmed and really not sure how to deal with Enzo’s financial generosity, his sweet words and his romantic gestures. Oh! What a problem to have! There are definitely some bumps in the road, a bad “guy” that threatens their safety and just enough angst so that it won’t make your teeth hurt. Turn Towards the Sun is instalove for sure. It is also sweet and tender, very Pretty Womanish and I loved it. Jennifer Domenico even manages to weave in the theme of “family” and all that entails. Honestly, this was just what the doctor ordered because I’ve been reading some really emotional angsty stuff lately.As I type this I am really looking forward to Book #2 called “After the Rain” which is sitting on my Kindle. Thank you Jennifer for writing feel good stuff that still brings the sexy.
review 2: This is a Disney princess story, for adults! Ava is the lucky principessa who gets swept off her feet by the amazing, romantic, hot, Italian prince. He's not really a prince but he sure lives the life of one. This book is such a sweet fairy tale.It does not have a lot of angst...sure there are a few moments where your heart stalls, making you think, "oh no..." but the author doesn't focus on all that type of drama in this book. There are definitely issues that they needed to work through, together, and they did so...successfully. It's really just about this beautiful couple falling in love, and learning to navigate through a life neither had ever imagined.One of the things I loved most about this book is that they do not have sex until nearly the middle of the book. The author built up the sexual tension so well that when they finally do make love it was really hot and so meaningful for both characters. I loved both characters in the book. Ava is strong-willed...not one who is willing to just be told what to do, no matter that Enzo is super hot and a gazillionaire. She stands up for herself and what she believes in. She doesn't back down from those who are trying to ruin her relationship with Enzo. Enzo, sigh. Who wouldn't love a man who would give you the world, is a wonderful lover, sexy, protective, rich, romantic, and makes you feel like the most beautiful woman in the world? Sure he was a bit overbearing at times in the story and acts like a pompous ass to others sometimes...but through his relationship with Ava he was able to become a better man and learned to keep those undesirable qualities to a minimum. The book ends with a bit of a cliffhanger, something I normally do not like. But, it wasn't a brutal cliffhanger...just kept me on the edge of my seat wondering where the story would go next. I definitely recommend this book to those who are looking for a nice, sexy, love story. This is one I would definitely re-read, especially in between those really difficult, emotional books. Yes, maybe one day I will unexpectedly be upgraded to first class and get swept off my feet by my own gazillionaire Italian stallion, no? less
