It has been a busy October in the Naylor house. Between the Kansas City Royals being in the postseason for the first time in twenty-nine years (Let's Go Royals!!) and having a really sick puppy, I haven't been able to get much reading done. But, we have a few days before the World Series starts and I was able to take a few hours this morning and get a book under my belt.
Kristan Higgins takes us back to the quaint little town of Manningsport, New York in her new book, In Your Dreams. Jack Holland is the town hero for recently rescuing a group of boys that took a drive into the local lake. Jack has kind of made it a hobby of his to be the rescuer all all things sad and desperate. Including his ex-wife, Hadley. Emmaline Neal is an officer on the Manningsport's minuscule police department. She was there the night Jack dived into the water and now she needs help. She was invited to her ex-fiance's wedding and she needs a date. Jack agrees to go with Em, but he he didn't expect how much fun he would have with her. They hit it off and Jack now wants to be more than just Em's fake fiance. Jack and Em are both strong personalities who have struck out in the love department. Will they be able to put their past relationship failures behind them and look to the future?
In Your Dreams was a fun read with characters I have come to know and love. Emmaline Neal has to be one of my favorite Kristan Higgins characters. She has overcome a lot of feelings of inadequacies to find her place in Manningsport. The quaint little town and it's people have adopted Em as one of their own and I love that. Jack Holland is obviously one of the "town's sons" and can do no wrong in their eyes. They are perfect for each other. I think their story really is one of my favorites so far. I laughed & I cried as they went through their ups and downs on the road to true love.
Bottom line, Kristan Higgins is one of the most beloved romance writers for a reason. Her characters are funny, engaging, romantic, and real. That "realness" translates extremely well to readers and makes it difficult to put down any of her books. If you haven't tried any of her books, you simply must do so immediately.
