Summer Dreams: Of Dreams and Magic/The Morning After/A Summer of Come Home

From the back cover: Three complete novels. Sometimes love is like a dream... Three unforgettable stories of summer love to dream on, from award-winning bestselling author Dallas Schulze Of Dreams And Magic Whatever Jack Ryan felt for the ethereal Sheri was too good to be true. She was the stuff fairy tales, dream and magic were made of. But, oh, how he wanted to believe... The Morning After Lacey wore the ring, and Cameron insisted the marriage she'd dreamed hadn't been a dream... But could two strangers truly be bound together longer than the morning after? A Summer To Come Home Surely rebel Jake Quincannon's return to Riverbend was temporary. And surely good girl Paige Cudahy was dreaming if she thought he'd chosen to come home that summer because of her... And my review: "Of Dreams and Magic" was good. If you like stories with a paranormal twist, then you'll like this one. The paranormal aspect was very well done, without detracting from the romance. Not many authors can manage that, but this one can. This story had so many laugh-out-loud moments. Four stars. "The Morning After" was my favorite out of the collection. I love stories about marriages of convenience, and marriages that start out unconventionally, but blossom into love. I really enjoyed reading the adventure these two were on, trying to figure out if they should untangle themselves from a drunken Vegas wedding (to a stranger!) or if they should give it a shot. This was the story that I kept the book for. Five stars. "A Summer to Come Home" was the only one in this book that I didn't really like. The whole "I'm so in lust with you that I'm going to have an affair with you for only the summer" thing left me with a bad aftertaste. I normally would skip this kind of a book altogether, but Dallas Schulze is one of my auto-buy authors, so I pushed through. The shocking twist near the end was very well done, but the romance part of it left me feeling dirty. Two stars. Dallas Schulze is one of Harlequin's best authors. Though I didn't like one of the stories, two out of three ain't bad!

Dallas Schulze brings the reader three romances in one book. You will enjoy this book of love and discovery.OF DREAMS AND MAGIC...Jack Ryan has felt dissatisfied for sometime. From his career in the family bank to his engagement to a woman that would make the perfect banker's wife, Jack can not put aside his feeling of disquiet. When he meets Sheri, Jack feels something he has never felt before, but will not admit it, because his life is going along just how everyone expects. Sheri is someone that always wants to make people around her happy. When she meets Jack when he comes to the cabin where she had been caring for his uncle for the last three years of his life, Sheri can't describe the feelings she has for him. All she knows is that she's falling fast and hard. THE MORNING AFTER...Lacey Newton woke up on the morning after her thirtieth birthday to find herself in bed with a man and a marriage certificate that she didn't remember signing. When Cameron suggests that they give their marriage a try, she figures she has nothing to lose. As the weeks go by, she realizes that she has more to lose than she thought and starts to make a hasty retreat. Cameron McCleary has wanted to have a family, but could never imagine a woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with. When he's with Lacey, he feels a contentment that doesn't make sense to him, since she was a virtual stranger the day before they were married. When Lacey starts running scared, Cam will do anything to show her that they can make their marriage work.A SUMMER TO COME HOME...Jake Quincannon has come home to Riverbend after a twenty year absence. He comes home to find closure to the first nineteen years of his life, but finds more than he expects to find. He has a hard time reconciling Paige Cudahy with his ex-girlfriend's plump little sister, but the proof is right in front of his eyes. A summer affair is all he has to offer, unless Paige can change his mind. Paige has always had a crush on Jake, and she finally has the chance to prove to him that he is worthy of having love, something that he hasn't had enough of in his life. It takes more than she thought though, especially when a secret comes to light that has stayed buried for twenty years.Happy reading!
