Jennifer McNare has delivered another well-written historical novel.Don't be mistaken, Dreaming of You is not the average hero- meets -heroine and they live happily -ever -after book. This story is different, almost haunting, very hard to put down and the characters stay with you long after you've read the novel.Imagine if you were kidnapped and forced to father a child with a woman you've never met or seen? Five years later,you are attending a ball and you hear a familar voice but you don't recognize the person?Something about Melody Edgington is familar to Gavin Montrose. After speaking to  Melody's late husbands's nephew, Gavin hires an investigator. Is Melody the person that his friend claims her to be?Gavin learns that Melody is the woman that he was with five years ago and that he has not one child, but two children. He must work through his anger and judge Melody on her own merits. Will he realize that Melody was an unwilling partner in her late husband's scheme?McNare writes Gavin as a strong alpha hero contrasting him with Melody the classic heroine. The bond that they developed five years ago re emerges and stregthens as the late Earl of Edgington's evil plot is unravelled. The secondary characters of Natalie, Jane and Mary Edwards were well developed and important to the story's progression.This is the second novel by Jennifer McNare that I have read. I lookforward to reading her next book!
