Lucy Dolan has had her dreams smashed and broken more than once, but she has never given up. Now she keeps her dreams in a jar, and her eye out for smoke - for where there’s smoke, there’s fire. She has watched her life burn once and she is not ready to do it again. Someone’s not willing to see her start over and escape that fire, however and everything she has built is now endangered again and she must trust the endearing Boone and his unusual family.

Boone Brennan is a very clumsy, sweet cartoonist. He has loved and lost and is not ready to love again. After he gets over his suspicions about Lucy, however, he can’t help feeling hopeful and happy. Attraction and romance bloom as the two of them face down contrary relatives and the dangers ahead.

If you, dear reader, are at this very moment making your own jar of dreams, be sure to add this fantastically sweet romance to it! Lucy and Boone are beyond adorable, and the secondary characters interesting, unique and with diverse lives of their own. The pace is a bit slow at times, but it doesn’t detract from the overall positive impression. While the suspense ties in perfectly with the romance, the accent remains on these lovely characters their loves, sorrows, fights and friendships. As Eleanor Roosevelt said:” The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” and Liz Flaherty is not afraid to dream big!
