review 1: Review by Jill WilliamsonAfter eight years in Italy, A.J. is coming back to Indian Island, Idaho. She can’t wait to see her dog Sailor and her old friend Danny. Sailor acts as if nothing has changed, but Danny—oooh. He’s grown up into a six-foot-tall real-life cowboy. He seems interested in A.J., but she has a promise to keep that doesn’t include Danny. What’s a girl to do if she wants both?Okay. So I loved Saving Sailor, and I LOVED Taking Tuscany. So when I saw that Heading Home was available, I had to buy it. It did not disappoint. I’m a closure-happy ending kind of girl, and though A.J. sure does have a tendency to make a mess of things, Renée Riva has a great way of putting it all back together. A.J.’s Italian/Greek family is hysterical. This book was f... moreunny, heartwarming, and delightful. These three books were a fabulous coming-of-age story that takes place in the 1960’s and 1970’s. I highly recommend them.
review 2: Renee Riva writes a beautifully humorous story about homecoming, love and faith in her new book, Heading Home! This is the third book in a trilogy, I haven't read Taking Tuscany and Saving Sailor, but this novel stands on it's own! I love the humor in the book, A.J. Degulio returns to her beloved Island after living in Italy. Not only is she returning to her Island, but to her dog Sailor and her friend Danny.A.J. takes you along on a joyful journey as she falls in love with Danny, but leaves you wondering what she's thinking when she mentions a long ago promise, will she follow her heart, or keep the promise she has made? Danny is a strong man, the pastor of a church but his heart tells him to follow his dreams, what will he do?A.J. will truly win your heart with her passion, Danny will endear himself to you and you'll find yourself hoping for the best as you turn the pages of this wonderful book, and as you near the ending you will meet even more humorous characters which only makes the book a great joy to read!This book was given to me to review by the B & B Media Group, I was not compensated for my honest opinion. less
