Now this book approaches the greatness of Lisa Kleypas of the Hathaways, Wallflowers and Travis series -- not quite as good as those, but definitely much better than the first two in the Rainshadow Road series.

This book was fun, good, and sexy. I loved it. I listened to the audio and it was read by a very sexy sounding male narrator. My one complaint is how the narrator read the female voices, but in the end ... the story was written so well and performed so well it was forgivable.

Dream lake was an emotional book from beginning to end and I loved every minute of it, every tear and every smile. Alex has been through the ringer. Everything that could go wrong for him has.

This was an amazing book, I've never read a contemporary romance by Lisa Kleypas and boy!, was this a surprise!!
It was just so freaking sweet and funny and tender...I think Upsie's story was even better than Alex and Zoë's.
The scene at the end was a bit too cheesy for me, I mean, come on!, a guy like Alex can change but not become someone else entirely.
