4.0 out of 5 stars Want a fun "one night" read?, July 24, 2003

This review is from: The Dream Unfolds (Crosslyn Rise, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is it. This was my first BD book and I really enjoyed it. Gideon is part of a group that is developing an apartment complex. He is also the contractor of it. He is well liked, very much a "got it under control" kind of guy, single, and is good-lookin'. Chris, real cute with great legs (a perspective interior designer for the project), shows up on the site distracting the workers causing a delay in the work and has a run in with Gideon. Chris gets the job- but not with Gideon's help. In fact, he lets it be known that he is not looking forward to working with her. She is too out-spoken, opinionated, etc. The run-ins continue until realizing they are going to have to work close together a truce is called. Gideon ask Chris to lunch to smooth things over and it is at lunch that he realizes he really does like her. Now he has to persuade her to give it a try. Chris is interested but there is a part of her past that holds her back. And now, you the reader, must find out what that is. It really is a lot of fun with sweet humor to it at times.

I bought Dreams and really enjoyed the three books together. If you have only read The Dream Unfolds then you must continue to read the other Dream books. They are a perfect trio. Everyone was somehow tied to one estate. Its amazing how it brought happiness to several couples.

This review is from: The Dream Unfolds (Crosslyn Rise, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed this continuation of "The Dream", although I could have used a little bit more information about the hero and heroine from the previous book. However, I soon became wrapped up in the lives of the hero and heroine of this book because Ms. Delinsky is wonderful at giving descriptive details of where the characters are and what they are feeling. The only thing that bothered me was that it seemed Gideon fell in love with Chris so quickly. One minute he can't stand her, and the next minute he is begging to spend time with her. But it was a sweet story and I really did enjoy it. I recommend it to everyone.
