About the Book:
Dream Lake takes readers once again to the exquisite setting of Friday Harbor, and tells the story of Zoe Hoffman, an innkeeper who has all but given up on love. She’s a gentle, romantic soul, but has been so hurt in the past that she dare not trust her heart with anyone. Especially not Alex Nolan. Alex is the most haunted of all the Nolan brothers. He drinks to keep his demons at bay and not only has he given up on love, he has never, ever believed in it. Zoe and Alex are oil and water, fire and ice, sunshine and shadow. But sometimes, it takes only a glimmer of light to chase away the dark. Dream Lake is classic Lisa Kleypas: romantic, powerful, emotional, and magical.
My Comments:
If you like romances and ghost stories, you'll like this one. As Alex is renovating his brother's house, he meets the ghost of a WWII pilot. The pilot does not remember who his is, nor does he know why he is a ghost. Zoe is a friend of his brother's fiancee, and Zoe needs someone to renovate a house into which she and her grandmother will move. Her grandmother is descending into dementia. Of course the story comes together with the ghost knowing the grandmother. Of course, despite protestations, Zoe and Alex end up together. As a Kleypas novel, it is steamy in parts.
Often with series fiction you feel you've missed something if you don't read the earlier books. In this case, the books seem to repeat a lot of stuff from earlier books, since the stories are all happening at the same time.
I enjoyed this library book and give it a B.
