In Her Dreams  by Katherine GivensIn her dreams is a sweet, short historical romance.  A delightful light read!Two sisters, Evangeline and Angela Vernon, are the objects of their mother's greedy plans to have her daughters married to men of wealth and stature; this more for her own enjoyment than an actual caring of her daughters.  It reminds us of how far women have come in life, to be able to marry for love and attraction not just as an object, but I digress.Angela and Evangeline are loving siblings.  Unfortunately Evangeline (almost a spinster at 24 ((OMG)) is noticed by the Duke of Manchester and her mother has decided she is to marry him.  Evangeline finds him boring, nice but not someone she's attracted to.  Her mother simply doesn't care; she will marry him or else be thrown out of her father's house!Evangeline dreams of a golden haired man with magnificent green eyes and is undeniably attracted to him.  She dreams of him every time she sleeps. His name is Alexander...she doesn't know it, but he is the Earl of Cheshire, and he is quite real and also dreaming of her! Interesting, yes?Getting ready for another ball at the Manchester's house Evangeline discovers that her sister Angela is in love with Manchester but will not cross her mother's plans.  She is willing to have the man she loves marry her sister while she (per her mother's wishes) will have to win the heart of a reclusive man, the Earl of Cheshire (who no one has seen in years).Okay! That's the set-up; I don't do spoilers, so here's the questions:- Can Evangeline convince Angela to tell Manchester she's in love with him and win his heart despite her mother's plans?- Will Manchester fall for Angela, despite his intensions of marrying Evangeline (he doesn't believe love exists for people of their stature...mmmm)?- Will the ever elusive Alexander be able to convince Evangeline of his real love for her and get her to marry him instead?- Will the parents allow this?This is quite a nice read, reminds me a little of "A Mid-Summer Night's Dream".  It's lighthearted, romantic in the historic tradition, although there is a little steamy romance as well...a good read with some wine and chocolate would make a really good day!  Enjoy, it's fun!Copy supplied by author for an honest review.
