As I become more acquainted with the characters in the Dakota Hearts series, it's amazing to me how Ms. Mondello can create so many wonderful characters. Her stories have varied personalities that havebut an individuality all their own. I received a copy of Dakota Homecoming in exchange for an honest review. Ms. Mondello gives you a little of everything with this novel. Bravery, romance, displacement, suspense, loyalty and a whole lot of love. I like that her stories do not have one set format because that keeps the surprises coming and the stories interesting. I loved how she used the security of family as a shield against the darker outside elements that were stalking Georgie and Julian. No matter how long you roam or how far you go, you can always go home.
