The third book in the Grayson's of New Mexico series by
Francis Ray, DREAMING OF YOU is the story of Brandon
Grayson, the middle child of the Grayson clan. Brandon, an
accomplished chef, owns one of the town's hottest
restaurants. He's as delightful to the eyes as his food
is to the palette. His older brothers have recently
married and now his mother, the eternal matchmaker, has
set her sights on getting him hitched. Brandon wants no
part of his mother's plans and has decided that the best
way to avoid them is to take a hiatus from dating.
Faith McBride, a childhood friend and neighboring
hotelier, has loved Brandon since they were children.
Insecure about her weight and her ability to attract a man
like Brandon, she's kept her feelings hidden. Aware of
Mrs. Grayson's plan, Faith's afraid that time is running
out before Brandon is married to someone else. When
Brandon needs to stay at Faith's hotel while his apartment
is being renovated, she seizes the opportunity to snag her
man.
I enjoyed Ms. Ray's writing style. It was fluid, fast-
paced, and appealing. Page after page, the plot kept
moving, twisting and turning in ways I didn't expect. The
characters were people I wanted to befriend. I found
myself empathizing with Faith's insecurities and cheering
Brandon on to acknowledgement of his true feelings for
her. The other members of the Grayson family made
significant appearances, allowing readers who haven't read
the previous books to become acquainted with them, all of
whom were interesting and added another layer of
satisfaction. That's not to mention the mysterious men
who posed as dates for Faith, who together would form the
basis for a great new series of their own.
Every now and then, I encounter a book that is part of a
series but not the first book in said series. When I'm
done reading it, I literally hunger for the preceding
books. It's a physical craving. I have to find them and
read them. Right away. DREAMING OF YOU is that kind of
book. Not only will I need to find the earlier books in
the series, I can't wait until Ms. Ray pens Sierra's
story, Brandon's younger sister. I've no doubt Ms. Ray
won't disappoint.
LURING A MAN INTO LOVE
Successful Santa Fe hotelier, Faith McBride has loved
Brandon Grayson since she was a wallflower in high school
and he was her big brother's best friend. Now hard-bodied
Brandon is running a trendy restaurant a stone's throw from
Casa de Serenidad, her posh five-star hotel. When Faith
looks at Brandon, she dreams of being his wife. So although
it's risky and risqué, she's plotting a secret campaign to
win his body, mind, and heart.
MAY LEAD TO PASSION...OR HEARTBREAK
With his mother determined to marry him off, Brandon
Grayson
is on the alert for single females being thrown his way.
He's even stopped dating, afraid of being trapped into a
relationship. Surely nobody's safer to be around than
sweet,
familiar Faith. But celibacy is driving him crazy. For the
first time he's noticing Faith's enticing lips and
incredible curves. Suddenly it occurs to Brandon that an
affair with the one woman he can trust would certainly be a
no-strings-attached affair...
Dear Reader:
The 3rd book in the Graysons of New
Mexico Series, DREAMING OF
YOU, is finally here. We've watched Luke
(UNTIL THERE
WAS YOU) and then Morgan (YOU AND NO
OTHER)
fall hopelessly in love despite their vows to outwit their
match-making mother and now it's Brandon's turn. But
Brandon thinks he has a fool-proof plan
to avoid following in
his older brother's footsteps: no dating. However, for a
man who adores everything about
women - from their softness to the odd way they think -
it's going
to be difficult not to succumb to their enticing lure.
Unknown
to Brandon, it's about to get a lot harder.
