Review: Deeply flawed and human characters that Carmen does masterfully

Entangled Dreams by Carmen DeSousa is  a romantic-suspense that strays a little bit from her normal style, but keeps with the quality that I've come to expect from her as an author.The story follows the life of Alexandra Nicole, a seemingly Cinderella character that lost her mother at a young age, her father to alcohol, and her life to her step-mother. Since then her life has been more a nightmare than a fairytale, until the fateful night that she decides to stop caring and makes a mistake, or does she?Where usually the suspense takes a very central role in the plot line of Carmen's stories, Entangled Dreams is a love story that has its ups and downs, but lacks the nail biting suspense that the other stories had. I don't mean this in a bad way. There were still troubles to overcome and definite question as to whether or not they could get through it as a couple, but the same element of danger didn't accompany it and that made it a slightly lighter read in my opinion. Once again, not a bad thing.I loved this story. I loved how the characters were troubled and had a lot of issues to overcome but it didn't weigh them down.  I love how it was a mistake, something against the beliefs held to in the story, that starts the whole plot going. Carmen's stories always have deeply flawed and human characters, but Entangled Dreams seems to do it even better.I'm giving Entangled Dreams 5 out of 5 stars.[...]
