"Dreamweaver Trail" by Emily March ....

What is this novel about....

"Love and forgiveness spin their magic as a woman discovers that home is where her heart belongs in Emily March’s moving new Eternity Springs novel. After another lonely Valentine’s Day, Gabi Romano trades mountain snowfall for sunshine and sand at a luxurious Caribbean getaway. There she discovers a hidden talent for creating fine art glass. She also meets Flynn Brogan, the sexy caretaker next door who brings her fantasies to life. But when violence interrupts their romantic interlude, she learns that Flynn is living a lie. Heartsick, she decides to concentrate on her craft. Playing with fire is safer than loving a man like Flynn.

Flynn is determined to make things right with Gabi—until his enemies interfere. Now damaged and driven by a need he cannot define, he seeks out Gabi’s Colorado community, hoping for reconciliation and some peace. But he never imagined a place like Eternity Springs, where lives are changed, second chances are given, and the possibility exists for two wounded souls to find their way home . . . to each other."

What I like about this novel.....

This series was of Gabi Romano and Flynn Brogan. I thought only magic could bring them together with all they had to go through. I felt this was a enjoyable contemporary romance with some suspense that will get and keep you attention till the end. This author seemed to have a way in portraying the folks of Eternity Springs in her series who really had to fight many hardships of life but in the end they are able to find love and even come out the better for it. How this author is able to do this is simply something...where you will find some 'humor, drama, trials, sex, tribulations' and only in the end there seems to be a healing process that will come about.

Bringing these two together ...Gabi who seems to have lost it all and then there is Flynn who has a painful past and a bucket load of bad luck...however bringing them together again after all is said and done seems to have come kind of healing powers there in Eternity Springs where life seems to be worth them living once more. I don't want to spoil it for you because I want you to pick up the wonderful read to see how this author brings it all out for you.

Be prepared for an engaging romantic story telling with intense emotions are at its highest where you will see how life has dealt these two people some horrible unhappiness but in the end...well again you must pick up "Dreamweaver Trail" to see if how will find happiness again. I found this novel had a wonderful supporting cast of characters that were well developed, portrayed, colorful and even yet believable.

My Impression of this novel...

I found this "Dreamweaver Trail" series number eight a very good read where there will be shown a special connection of these two people, coupled with losses and then a healing process as this author shows its reader in her writing using such gracefulness and even some humor.  

I will start off by saying I am generally a fan of all of Flints works, he writes the happiest war stories you will find.  His writing tends to be fairly up-beat, he loves over the top characters, and he enjoys not only showing the action and drama beats of his stories but also exploring the larger political and cultural landscapes of the worlds he creates.  This last trait of Flint’s is both a blessing and a curse.

Because he writes so much alternate history there are a lot of interesting points to examine however he also tends to get a bit “wander” in his writing.  Long tangents, dead end story treads, and convoluted setups that don’t really apply to the main story of the book can happen.

That being said while this book is very typically Flint the flow and pacing is much better then in some of his other series, the Ring of Fire jumps instantly to mind.  A big factor in this reigning in can be attributed to the smaller cast in this book with only a dozen characters to track rather than the thirty to forty characters in some of his other titles.  And the characters you do get are more likely to be integral to the plot limiting the unimportant tangents that can happen. The plot itself is also less convoluted and straighter forward, which is both good and bad.  The story is easy to follow but he has some trouble pulling off subtlety.
