Book Reviews of When Dreams TrembleBook Review: terrific, sexy and so very endearing Summary: 5 Stars
This was a terrific read. At one point I was gasping - like I just got off a rollercoaster. Perfectly situated laugh out loud moments thoroughout.
I took a day off from work because I had such expectations of enjoying this book that I didn't want to rush the reading and all my expectations were met. The word that comes to mind is compelling. At the end of each chapter I am compelled or pulled forward to read the next and the next, the ending of each chapter seem perfectly placed to keep the momentum or pace of the story flowing flawlessly. I found myself needing to pause every few chapters as I felt myself wanting to read faster as it was getting too good.
The writing is super and there are lines from this novel that remain with me weeks after reading it. Some so evocative I knew that this was going to be a book to savour. The author's choice of descriptors are so effective that just the description of a bedspread tells you so much about Leslie's family. I was captivated Leslie's relationship with her mother.
The rural resort setting is perfectly lovely - I can picture it clearly and the locations sounds divine, the picture the author paints shows the place distinctly and lovingly.
Certain scenes got a huge reaction from me, and sent me right back to when I was 18. Devon and Leslie's youth was enchanting and yet so real. Leslie's relationship with her parents say so much about her and lead you to think she may not be the person she shows those around her.
I enjoyed the major face time that Dev and Leslie have with each other. Having the main characters apart for too many scenes ruins a book for me.
You may find the need to turn the air conditioning as the romance was so HOT!! I don't like giving any plot points away but the last few chapters are simply DELICIOUS.
From the publisher's website - Leslie Harris's visit to her upstate New York lakeside family home after a decade of triumphs and disappointment resembles a nightmare more than the quiet vacation she'd hoped for. The unexpected appearance of much-changed town bad girl Devon Weber, with whom Leslie shares a secret that haunts them both, rekindles an old heart ache--and reminds Leslie of just why she left. Even though her attraction to Dev comes roaring back, the one thing Leslie doesn't want is to pick up where they left off, especially not when she already has just the life she wants--a rewarding high-power law practice, a condo in Manhattan, and a lover who satisfies her without demanding the intimacy Leslie avoids. Unfortunately, environmental biologist Devon Weber doesn't play by Leslie's rules.
Two women whose lives turned out far differently than they'd once imagined discover that sometimes the shape of the future can only be found in the past-and love is strongest When Dreams Tremble.
