To Catch a Dream surprised and delighted me. It was a story of healing and finding love. 

Book Description

When their mother passed away, Evie Ross and her sister were each given a stack of letters, one to be opened every year on their birthday; letters their free-spirited mother hoped would inspire and guide them through adulthood. But although Evie has made a successful career, her desire for the stability and security she never had from her parents has meant she’s never experienced the best life has to offer. But the discovery of more letters hidden in a safe-deposit box points to secrets her mother held close, and possibly a new way for Evie to think about her family, her heart, and her dreams.

My Thoughts

When I was asked to read this book I was a bit cautious having never heard of the author and having read some reviews online that were less than flattering I was skeptical I would like the book. 

I was wrong. Like very wrong on so many levels. 

First off this being the second book in a series I thought I would be lost as that is what usually happens. Nope, I was able to follow along with little trouble in fact this book could be read as a stand-alone.

Second, the author pulled me in. From the get-go, I wanted to know about our heroine and her life growing up. As the story progressed I just got even more involved.

Then throw in a handsome leading man and I was hooked. Our leading man was strong, caring, and didn't take any crap from anyone. He even was strong enough to love our leading lady when she wasn't even able to love herself.

I found this story to be very good. It took me on a journey of love, self-discovery, self-healing, and growth. It had romance, mystery, and a huge twist at the end that I did not see coming.

Overall a wonderful and delightful read that left me feeling emotionally drained and oh so happy.
