Entangled Dreams is the first book I've read from Carmen DeSousa, and I'm planning on reading many more.The main character, Alexandra Nicole, hasn't had a lot of luck in life, but she's never let these tough times ruin her. She's determined, hard-working and nice - maybe too nice. And that's one thing that's gotten her in trouble. She can't seem to tell her looser boyfriend good-bye. And this is where the story shoots off.In some ways, it's a Cinderella story: poor girl meets rich guy. But unlike Cinderella, Alexandra's life isn't simple, and neither is the life of her `prince charming'. I loved the way Carmen kept the problems, characters and scenes believable without making them less interesting. Alexandra has problems, but they're understandable as well as her behavior and reactions. Cameron is a realistic, modern day prince with all those qualities a woman loves- have to like him.I loved the build-up in the romance as well as the tension in the plot. Never a boring moment. Only one thing bothered me toward the middle of the book, a scene where the bad guy shoots doubt into Alexandra and Cameron's relationship--both characters seemed overly gullible and I almost put the book down. But I'm glad I didn't because despite that one section, the rest of the story was very good. I fevered for Alexandra, hoping she'd get not only her prince charming, but the life she really deserved.
