Jules Trehan has been on the run for three years in which she has been unable to stay in one place for very long.  Having made a mistake in her youth and joined an operation that the government is after was a very bad decision on Jules’ part, and now she is unable to break away from the tentacles that hold her to the organization she is trying so hard to get away from.  Injured in an explosion cause by the men after her, she winds up in a Colorado hospital and comes face-to-face with the only man she has ever loved – Manuel Ramirez.  Knowing without a doubt that his life will be forfeit if he's seen with her, she does her best to get rid of him.  Little does she know that Manuel has more than just his good looks to back him – he has the power of the CIA. 

Manuel Ramirez has been searching for Jules for three long years.  As soon as he would get a lead, it would go cold and he would have to start over again.  When he finally corners her in the hospital after the explosion that killed two innocent people, Manuel decides enough is enough.  Jules is going to come clean about her life and she IS going to let him help her, because above all things, Manuel loves her and wants to be the man that she can turn to.  Easier said done when he finds out exactly how desperate and dark her secrets are. 

Long Road Home is unlike any Sharon Long book I have ever read.  Full of turmoil and suspense, I almost gave up on Jules being able to have a life away from the bad choices she made years ago.  Her love for Manuel was apparent to me, as was his love for her.  I found myself totally immersed in the story and unable to put it down.  Once again, Sharon Long gives me another reason to keep reading her stories.  Long Road Home was simply magnificent.
