A constant daydreamer, Katelyn Palmer is a successful romance writer who based her best selling novel on her real life crush Shane Hunter. But due to twist of fate, Shane found out about the novel, though he had no proof that it was based on him. A widower with a pair of twins, Shane is more handsome than Katelyn remembered. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for Katelyn), Shane does not remember her. So perhaps, Katelyn can get away with her lie that "Shane Hunter" is just a figment of her imagination. There is only one problem though. Katelyn is falling fast for Shane and vice-versa but Shane wants honesty and needs to be able to trust the woman he will share his life with. And Katelyn's secret will definitely pull them apart.Cute and funny, both Katelyn and Shane are lovable characters. Even the kids are also lovable. But, I am only giving this book four stars because for some strange reason, I felt that the author was trying to convert her readers. And quite frankly, that is one of my pet peeves when it comes to Christian novels.I like reading Christian novels. I like seeing how faith can actually change someone's life. And I can give you a long list of Christian novels that gave me that kind of enjoyment. ButDreaming Of Youseemed "forced" when it came to faith. Going to church once after not attending for years does not make you a good Christian. Faith is like a plant, it needs constant attention (like watering) for it to thrive. (Sorry if this sounds like preaching)The book is a good read as a romance novel. That there was no sex scenes at all, yet the author was able to convey how much Katelyn and Shane desire each other is already an achievement by the author. There was no need to "preach" nor try to convert the readers for this book to be successful and be classified as a Christian novel.This book is rated PG due to situational drama.
