A Fistful of Dreams is the fourth book in Heather Long's western paranormal series, and takes up right where the last one ended. I loved the first three books in this series, and I went into this book expecting to love it and I can say that I did. I was very enraptured with the characters and the storyline. I couldn't put this book down.Delilah Rinaldi is a woman who's suffered and is afraid to love. Watching Delilah come to the realization that not everyone is out to use her, and to grow into a woman that is free to love was beautiful. I felt every single emotion she felt, and how the circumstances around her shaped her.Buck Morningstar is a man who wants to teach her that love is nothing to be afraid of. Buck was so patient, kind and steady. He was always helping others. He's the kind of man that I would easily fall in love with, and seeing him love Delilah just made him more desirable.The cast of secondary characters and past characters from the previous books are back, and they add to the story. The interaction between families is integral to this story. It's obvious that family is so very important to the characters and that's something I can relate to. I fell in love with older characters even more just from the way they treated their family.This a sweet, sensual historical romance with a paranormal twist that is best read as part of the series. There are so many twists, and moments where I screamed and other moments when I felt like weeping. In my opinion, that's a mark of a great book and an excellent writer, the very fact that I was so invested in the story and the characters that I felt real emotions. I was emotionally drained by the time I put this book down. I'm aching for the next book and I don't know how I'm going to wait patiently for it.I highly recommend this book for historical, western, and paranormal romance fans alike. This is a love story that I think transcends genres, and this series is a must read.Originally posted at Long and Short Reviews
