All Who Dream (Letting Go, Book 3) by Nicole Deese

Book Description:
***All Who Dream can be read as a standalone.*** 

Angela Flores is a survivor. 
Struggling to rebuild her life after she was brutally attacked and left her for dead six years ago, Angie takes comfort in the quiet life she’s created with her son Cody in the suburbs of Dallas. It’s a simple existence: managing a florist shop, leading a weekly recovery group, and blogging about the joys and challenges of being a single mom.But simple just became a lot more complicated. 
When Angie’s blog goes viral, the unexpected begins to happen. Suddenly, she’s signing with a publicist and heading to New York City for the summer, where she meets brooding bachelor Jackson Ross. Though she is drawn to the mysterious CEO of Pinkerton Press, her instincts are as unreliable as her heart. 
She won’t fall victim to a man ever again. 
Jackson is well-versed in the art of denial. His perfect facade has been nearly impenetrable—until now. When the details of Angie's past are targeted by scandal, Jackson urges her to confront her fear despite his refusal to do the same. But neither of them can move forward without first uncovering one vital truth... 
That while some keep fighting to survive, all who dream will find the courage to live.

Someone recommended this Book and to be honest when I looked at the series as a whole, I just wasn't sure I was up for reading it (yet). I thought maybe the books would be a little depressing or too heavy on the drama/trauma side. Having read both Book 2 and now Book 3, I can tell you that I was SO pleasantly surprised. These novels have depth, yes touching on some hard knocks/wrong choices, but that in no way is what these novels are all about. They are about hope, redeeming, love and so much more. The romance is sweet and the characters are wonderful!

I had no trouble digging into this novel, but I did have trouble setting it down. I have to say that Deese has really done a good job in crafting not just a story and engaging characters but in weaving in truths, encouragement and just a tad bit more. This book takes you to a level above entertaining and it engages you in several facets... To understand what I mean you will just have to read it! I am gearing up to read Book 1, but I have to say, I do believe I have found a new author to add to my must read list!



*Note there are some typos, but not that many and they do not take away from the story. One of the most memorable ones for me was towards the end where a character was referred to as a brother but the word should have been Father.

I have so much reading for work that (classes I am taking or teaching, preparing for Sunday, etc.) I don't get to read much fiction. I have to pick and choose. This sounds like it might be good to read. Good fiction gets the mind working, and that helps in teaching.

Glad you are still blogging. How about your other blog (can't think of the name of it).

I send out radio messages and you are on the list. Do you still receive them?
