A Family For Keeps

I been looking forward to reading this book and this series of Heart to Heart. And I enjoy the story the characters are telling me too.

HEART WARMING - EMOTION TUGGING.

Julia has just gotten released from prison - six years of her life taken away from her. Now she is looking for her husband, who betrayed her, and her little daughter, Natalie. She has traced him to Venice but all she found was cold stone to sleep on and Piero. Piero saves her life and introduces her to Vincenzo in the Palazzo di Montese, home of the Counts di Montese for nine centuries. Julia has a hard time understanding if Piero is actually who he says he is or if he is mentally disturbed. Yet which ever, Vincenzo is concerned about the old man and helps to look after him. Vincenzo, in his middle thirties, is of the mind that everyone he loves leaves him. His sister and her husband has died just lately. Still he developes an interest in Julia and finds out that she has a knowledge of art and an interest in preserving the frescos of the palazzo. Boy, the jolt she receives when she locates her husband and finally gets to see her daughter. Her living for revenge against him falls very flat. The story is woven with delicate flashes of emotion, stress and makes you want to help kill the guy. Of course, somewhere along the line Julia becomes the aggressor and surprises Vincenzo with her lustyness. Ah well. Definitely recommended --m Very enjoyable read!
