Turn
Towards the Sun – Jennifer Domenico
“He could
talk about dog sh*t and I would think it was hot.” – Ava Bradshaw
“I want
you, Ava. All of you.” He caresses my cheek. I want your kisses. I want your body. I want your heart.” – Enzo
BLURB
Ava Bradshaw is stuck in mid-flight. On the edge of her thirtieth
birthday, she finally ends a devastatingly bad relationship that left her
wounded and insecure. With a plane ticket in her hand, she sets out to make a
life for herself in sunny Phoenix ,
Arizona
What she didn’t plan on was meeting the intense Italian architect Enzo Milano, a local celebrity inPhoenix
Enzo is charming, breathtakingly gorgeous, and a self-made American success story. He’s also a seasoned womanizer who has zero interest in relationships. Still, he can’t deny there is something special about Ava and considers trying an old-fashioned romance.
Sexy, humorous, and touching, Turn Towards the Sun will resonate with any woman whose life didn’t quite work out as she planned.

Sandy B' Review
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
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
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.

Jennifer
Domenico started writing as a five-year old child in the back of her mother’s
bible in church. It was a way to keep the fidgety child quiet but even then she
took simple stories and twisted them into even more imaginative tales. As she
grew, the stories grew with her and she filled notebook after notebook with her
musings.
As
an adult, she knew she wanted to be a writer but she lacked the attention span
and inspiration required to produce a full length story. Eventually she put
away her notebooks and turned her attention to the business world where she
toiled away for many years.
She
stopped reading fiction, stopped entertaining her outlandish imagination, and
stopped dreaming of being a writer. Until one day, many months ago she went to
sleep and a beautiful love story played out in her dreams.
When
she awoke she felt compelled to write it down. And she wrote and she wrote, for
days and days she wrote. The result is part one of Enzo and Ava’s story. Turn
Towards the Sun is her first, but certainly not her last, novel.
