All Hearts Come Home for Christmas by Annalisa Russo

I don't know but I have the impression that all Christmas' books I read this year are focusing on an important thematic: home and the importance of coming home for Christmas.
Home is extremely important, because it means love, friendship, tenderness, good values, the place where we belong and also the one where we can find certainties.
Christmas is a special moment in which we can feel much more these feelings being all reunited.
But home can also means coming to a town for trying to re-encounter someone loved and then lost in and with the time.

Very beauty and relaxing cover, in the perfect Christmas' style, All Hearts Come Home for Christmas - A Christmas miracle just waiting to be unwrapped - by Annalisa Russo is a beautiful romantic novel, very well written, plenty of characters, life, dialogues, and I guess that it is a bit the representation of Russo's Italian's family for what I read in her biography, pretty numerous.

Jillian is a teacher and she lives in Minnesota, not exactly one of the warmest States of the USA, but although Christmas is coming to town there is not yet snow in her little corner of the world called Green Earth. Little village, she has various good friends, the most impressive one Mel with her husband in his fourth mission in Iraq. Strong story, you will see.
Jillian loves this period of the year, Christmas, cookies, gifts, the general atmosphere of excitement and happiness.

This Christmas brings with it various and unexpected "gifts:" the most important one the re-arrival of Jillian's biggest love, Tristan.

Jillian feels real panic when she hears that his ex boyfriend, Tristan, a very famous band musician from that same town is returning home after that he decided to leave the band.

Tristan doesn't have anyone too close in term of relatives for deciding to stopping by in Green Earth for some days but surely he could be there for Jillian.
Jillian understands it and she also understand the "peril" of it, because Tristan has been his only real love.
What to do? And what will happen?
Tristan's life of course has had more than an evolution and so he won't be alone in this trip. With him also his little daughter, and to him it's more important the acceptance of his daughter first of all than not of his return for trying to re-conquer Jillian's heart.

Enjoy this beautiful book! plenty of surprises, love, friendship and happy ends :-) perfect for the approaching Christmas' Time.

Highly recommended!

I thank NetGalley for this eBook.
