Beautiful Dreamer

Rating:
Summary: Caveat emptor
Review: What a disappointment--all ready to settle down for a good read with a new Elizabeth Lowell book only to discover that it's an old story with slight changes in the beginning. I went over the book very carefully and NOWHERE does it say that it was previously published as Valley of the Sun by Harlequin in 1985. Somehow that doesn't seem honest. Perhaps, if the publisher plans to release more of Lowell's early work, they would be kind enough to warn the reader that it's a reissue.

Review: What better way to spend an enjoyable afternoon than with a reread of "Valley of the Sun" or a first time read of "Beautiful Dreamer", by Elizabeth Lowell! Rio is a mysterious,intelligent, gorgeous guy, if somewhat dubius of his potential, who thinks he is unable to have any life other than a wanderer. Hope (don't you love this name?) knows only that she wants to preserve her ranch at all costs. Allows herself to dream of a future even though she has fallen in love with a man who thinks he cannot dream. Glorious, colorful, western background surrounding an unforgettable romantic struggle.
