All Who Dream is a romantic thrill ride. I loved the entire story. The characters
still haunt me. Even the side characters were a pleasure to read. I feel like I
know them all so well.
The story is multi-layered with lots to keep the reader's interest. The hero and
heroine must learn essentially the same lesson, but their journeys are so vastly different and they come from completely different places, so the story seems to echo in harmonies.
The romance was sweet . . . deep, pure, real . . . and clean.
The motivations for each character
rang true on every side. I believed every thing in the story. I love NYC, so it was great fun
to camp out there for most of this book. It's a fun read for writers
especially, because of the book tour, the publishing company insights, and the
general fun surrounding one character's mystery series.
PLUS! Deese writes poetry. Good
poetry. It's almost reminiscent of Possession by AS Byatt - poetry written by a
character embedded in the fiction. She also writes fictional scenes written by
another character.
The dialogue is witty. The
interactions, funny and very realistic. I'm sure this story will stay with me
for a long time - I hope you'll give this author a try. All Who Dream does not
disappoint.
Here’s the back of the book blurb:
Struggling to rebuild her life
after she was brutally attacked and left for dead six years ago, Angie
leads a simple life: managing a florist shop, leading a weekly recovery group,
and blogging about the joys and challenges of being a single mom.
But simple just became a lot more
complicated.
When Angie’s blog goes viral, she’s
caught in a whirlwind: signing with a publicist and heading to NYC for a book
tour, where she meets brooding bachelor Jackson Ross. Though she is drawn to
the mysterious CEO of Pinkerton Press, her instincts are as unreliable as her
heart. She won’t fall victim to a man ever again.
Jackson is well-versed in the art
of denial. His perfect facade has been nearly impenetrable—until now. When the
details of Angie's past are targeted by scandal, Jackson urges her to confront
her fear despite his refusal to do the same. But neither of them can move
forward without first uncovering one vital truth...
That while some keep fighting to
survive, all who dream will find the courage to live.
FYI: This book is the third in a series, but stands alone
very well. I have not read the first two yet, but this one makes me want more.
Don’t be afraid to start with book three.
