Home is wherever the heart leads.... The ties that bind us--to our families, to our pasts--are at the heart of this deeply engrossing story.nbsp;nbsp; Venus Arinelli saw her future as a concert pianist shattered when her father's life ended in disgrace.nbsp;nbsp;Now Venus plays in cocktail lounges, sporting her survival skills like a suit of armor.nbsp;nbsp;When a stranger emerges from her parents' long-ago past with an offer too good to refuse, Venus' suspicions flare up. But Gib Cameron has a special mission.nbsp;nbsp;He represents the Camerons of Tennessee--a family as rooted in American history and Southern soil as Venus' is notorious and fly-by-night.nbsp;nbsp;Yet the Camerons, survivors of tragedy, need Venus for reasons that have to do with honor and loyalty and an almost mystical bond to their shared past.nbsp;nbsp;And Gib, as hard-eyed a skeptic as Venus herself, has to persuade her to come to their mountain home. Humor, sexiness, pathos, and surprises are all part of Deborah Smith's unique storytelling magic.nbsp;nbsp;When Venus Fell will entrance readers with its tale of Venus's reluctant journey to Tennessee, where two well-guarded hearts, afraid to trust again, will find they've come home.… (más)

Well, not a lot to say about this book…..I gave it the usual 50 pages to see if could get into it but it didn’t happen so it hit the wall. Each to their own I guess. ( )

Pure escapism. Prickly romance set in a beautiful part of Tennessee. Central and surrounding characters drawn well. Sentimental rather than instant sex. Nice reading for a smile on a rainy day. ( )

I love love love Deborah Smith. Her books are just beautiful.

In saying that, this is my least favorite so far. It was still really good and I didn't want to put it down. But the female lead grated under my skin. I just didn't like her is all. But, overall the book was excellent! ( )

The Arinelli sisters, on the run since their mother died and their father was arrested and died in the jail cell, were making it in musical venues, but always on the lookout for "government" agents who had confiscated all their property in accusing their father. Years later they were found by Gib Cameron from Tennessee, who said he had money left for them if they would come back and claim it in the place where their parents married. The collection of unique people with various handicaps plays it out in the beautiful mountains where the Cameron Inn is threatened by a kinsman who wants to "develop" it after the tragic death of Simon in a sawmill accident. It is full of weird people and strange incidents, but comes to a predictable happy conclusion ( )

Let the music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
the sound prolong.

"My Country 'Tis of Thee"

By the time Gib Cameron found us, my sister and I were failed southern belles who could no longer count on the kindness of strangers.
