What would you give to make your dreams come true?
Liza Reece has a dream. Working as a reflexologist for a troubled holistic centre isn’t enough. When the opportunity arises to take over the Centre she jumps at it. Problem is, she needs funds, and fast, as she’s not the only one interested.
Dominic Christy has dreams of his own. Diagnosed as suffering from a rare sleep disorder, dumped by his live-in girlfriend and discharged from the job he adored as an Air Traffic Controller, he’s single-minded in his aims. He has money, and plans for the Centre that don’t include Liza and her team.
But dreams have a way of shifting and changing and Dominic’s growing fascination with Liza threatens to reshape his. And then it’s time to wake up to the truth ..
My thoughts:
Moorcroft has real people with real issues, and I love the settings too. Here we are back in Middledip. I like the quiet small towns
In this we have Liza a reflexologist yes I have never met a heroine who is one before. She used to be fun and out there, but now she is more quiet after something that happened. And with quiet I do not mean quiet, just not out partying all night long. Because she is not afraid to speak her mind.
The hero Dominic has narcolepsy, yes, never met a hero with that before either. And he has it rough, he lost his job cos of it and is not allowed to drive. He is staying with his cousin and he is not happy. I liked him and I liked how it was also portrayed how some just do not get what it's about. Like he could just get over it.
Will these two meet, fall in love and be in lalala land at once, ha, of course not. This is a real romance after all ;) Yes they meet, yes there is an attraction but they will have to work for it, and then work some more. They both have problems and dreams that have to be dealt with first. And in the end this is a couple that will last.
Conclusion:
If you want a little reality with your romance, but still being able to dream yourself away then this is the book for you.

DeleteThanks for the lovely review, Bloduedd! And thank you everybody for your comments.
ReplyDeleteReflexology is the treatment of feet to affect other parts of the body. It's VERY pleasant! There's a neat explanation here: http://www.joaninnesreflexology.co.uk/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/1634?opendocument&part=2. If you try it, I hope you enjoy it! I always do.
Best wishes,
