While I have nothing against inspirational romance, the focus on God and religion is incongruent with the secular contemporary tone of the series thus far.ĭespite the abovementioned problems, Dream a Little Dream is a lovely romance with engaging characters who come to life on the page. Yes, it is understandable that the sweet little boy reminds Gabe of his dead son, but there are moments when his thoughts and behavior are simply unforgivable.Īnother problematic issue is the overt Christian themes. While Gabe has all the making of an excellent tortured hero, there is one aspect of his character that proves very problematic, i.e., his biased attitude and harsh treatment of little Edward. Her strength and resilience in the face of the townsfolk's scorn and shunning are admirable as is her determination to do anything necessary to ensure that her son has everything he needs and deserves. Series note: While books 1-3 can be read as standalones, book #4 is a direct continuation of #3 and as such the two should be read in order. Despite their rocky start, Rachel and Gabe find themselves inextricably drawn to one another, but can they overcome the traumas of the past to have a future together? That is until Rachel Stone returns to Salvation, North Carolina desperate for a job to support her young son. After the loss of his wife and child, Gabe Bonner is only going through the motions of living.
