I received an advance review copy for free and am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you Robin Maderich and Xpresso Book Tours. I'm excited to be a part of this tour. Now for my review ... 

When the Heart Brings you home is a beautiful collection of three novellas set in Connor Falls. This plot of this book is about relationships and finding our place in the world. Perfect for the holidays, these stories remind the reader what is important in life. Each story is a standalone and are so well written you will not want to put this one down.

Each of the stories are intriguing and kept me engaged from start to finish. These stories are light reads and I read them so fast I didn’t want them to end. What I loved most is the subplot that everyone was in Connor Falls for a reason, whether they knew it or not, and must learn what is important to them. This gave the stories depth and had me wondering why they were there while rooting for them to figure it out. It also had me thinking about what is important to me. This book is reminiscent of Scrooge but with a positive spin.

The characters are brilliantly written and the chemistry between adds genuineness to the stories.

I highly recommend and can’t wait to revisit Connor Falls and this wonderful cast of characters!
