I really liked this story and I loved Garrett as a hero. He was strong and caring and everything a great romance novel hero should be. Jade has been through a lot in her sheltered life, more than most people should or will ever have to. Very relatable characters easy to understand.
This book was a slow starter, midway it picked up much better and overall I am happy to have read it, will read the next one! 🙂
New to me author and one I will be interested in reading more from in the future.
This was a sweet twisted story about a woman who has seen horrors no one should have to face and has the scars to prove she survived.
Definitely an inspirational story for those struggling to soar under the weight of being controlled.
This is the 1st in a new series, and is Garrett and Jade’s story. Garrett is a renowned movie director, who is used to getting any woman he wants. Jade is broken by her heartbreaking past, and I loved the way in which Garrett cared for her and was so patient. This is a well written story which is filled with angst, drama, emotion, suspense, and is a raw, gritty, humorous, steamy and powerful story. I was hooked and intrigued throughout, and look forward to reading more from this author.
Wow what a wonderful unexpected romance read. Loved Garrett and Jade’s character, their chemistry was on point and sweet to watch blossom to so much more. The flow and ease of the story made for an awesome read that I could not put down. This was my first read from the author and it won’t be the last. I can’t wait to see which brother gets their story.
This book was so much more than I thought it would be. This is my first experience with this author and it will not be my last. Like the finest French puff pastry there were just so many luscious layers to this incredible read. A powerful and emotional storyline quickly pulls you deep into Garrett and Jade’s romance. These two made my heart so full. Garrett was such an amazing hero. The care, tenderness and patience he showed Jade were truly heart melting and completely swoon worthy. Jade broke my heart and awed me at the same time. This survivor earned her backbone of steel the hard way. The storyline is rich with deep emotions, sweetness, humor, drama, tension, suspense, heartbreak, hope, pain, angst, poignancy, scorching steam and a love that is as beautiful as it is enduring. I thought that Garrett’s family was amazing. His Mom & Dad were cute, sweet and swoon worthy in their own right. Add in his intriguing cast of brothers and you will be very eager to see so much more from this terrific family. The book is done by a single female narrator. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to bring the book to life. She did an excellent job.
Wow I was gripped from the start on this story. It was a amazing book to read. I love the family dynamic is with the Landis family, and I fell in love with Garrett with how caring and loving he is to Jade and he wont let her forget. I cannot wait for more books about the other Landis brothers. I thoroughly recommend this book. I voluntarily read and reviewed a advanced copy arc.
Dreaming with a Broken Heart by Mary J. Williams is book one in the Hollywood Legends Series that I listened to on audio narrated by Janice B. Moss.
The Hollywood Legends series contains five standalone, Landis family novels. Plus, a bonus Christmas Harper Falls Novella.
This is the first book of Mary’s that I have read and it definitely won’t be my last. I cannot wait to look into the next books in the series. However, books two thru six are not released on audible at this time.
Janice did a great job with the narration. She used a slightly different tone for Garrett and Jade to distinguish between the characters. I did listen to the audiobook at 1.5 – 2.0 speed otherwise it seemed way to slow. I look forward to listening to more of Janice’s projects in the future.
