 The Heart Will Lead You HomeJan 16, 2011
By KT
The Heart Will Lead You Home is a book which is centered around one of my favorite plots. A couple who dated and loved each other deeply in high school, broke up and then hooked back up later in life.
Lizzie's family moves to a small town from Chicago and is instantly labeled as a dork in her new school and the focus of teasing by many of the cool kids. Payton is the town's up and coming football hero and by far the most popular guy in school.
After a few years of crossing each others path in different situations Payton starts to realize that Lizzie is something special and he wants to get to know her better. Lizzie, along with every other girl in town has had a crush on Payton since the first time she laid eyes on him. Once they begin a relationship sparks fly and they are deeply devoted to one another until a distraught Payton makes a fatal error which ends their relationship. Quite a few years pass and Lizzie returns home to get married to another man. Payton, never having forgotten about Lizzie and how bad he messed up the best thing that ever happened to him tries to win her back.
This book is set in two parts, the first being their childhood years, the second they are adults. What made this a 3 star read for me was the fact that I LOVED the first half of this book and really disliked the second half. While they are in high school the author creates wonderful amazing characters which could be real teenagers going through real events. The second part while Lizzie and Payton are adults however I feel fell flat. The characters are supposed to be 30 something adults, Payton trying to win Lizzie back has a "fake" relationship with the girl who he cheated on Lizzie in high school with, which was the reason they broke up. This scenario was ridiculous to me. Payton was making out with Lou Ann directly in front of Lizzie only days after giving her a letter which confesses his undying love for her. The fake relationship Payton had with Lou Ann irritated me to the point where it pretty much ruined the book for me.
Despite my annoyance with a particular incident in the book in the end I felt Ms. Leedy's writing style was to my liking and I would read something by her again.

 Sweet romance...Jun 25, 2011
By Erin Thompson
When you buy a .99 romance book, you never know what you are going to get.
I could not put this story down. It was so wonderfully written. I love second chance at romance stories and the way this followed a blossoming high school romance to betrayal to the hero and heroine finding their way back to each other.
After I finished this book I immediately went searching for more books by this author. I was sad to see there were none. Ms Leedy, when you do write another book, you are officially on my auto buy list.
Pick this book up if you are a romance lover, you will not be disappointed.
LOVED LOVED LOVED this bookApr 11, 2011

we all remember our first loves.. not many of us thought it was the forever love of our lives.. we have go through high school thinking we have met the love of our lives till something happens and you can't stand to be in the same room with that person. Payton and Lizzie have that kind of love.. I couldn't put this book down.. he was SO mean to lizzie when he thought that he had to be.. but in the end sometimes you hurt the people/person that you love the most..
i can't wait to see if there will be other books by this author.. if they are anything like "the heart will lead you home" i would buy it in a second.. you won't regret this book purchase..
A nice romanceNov 04, 2010

This was a really sweet romance. I always like stories where the H and h were high school sweethearts. It could have used some editing for typos (your and you're, for example) and was perhaps a little too long by 25 pages or so, but over all, nicely done and enjoyable. Looking forward to more books by this author.
Great ReadJul 20, 2010
By gr8 day 4readin'
Great read, great romance. I seriously did not put this book down. Have read it twice since purchase. Could not wait so see how things worked out for this young woman and the man who broke her heart in high school. Book was very well written. I really enjoyed how I was given a pretty in depth look at there young love before bringing the story to present. I definitely recommend.
