Dreams Found

De: Lyn Denison

Narrado por: Jenny Walters

Riley James couldn't have loved her adoptive parents more if she had been their biological daughter. They had never hidden the fact that she was adopted, and as she got older, so grew her curiosity about the parents who gave her life.

So with the blessing of her mother and father and dire warnings from her friend, Lisa, Riley sets out on a journey of discovery and travels south to Brisbane to find her birth mother. Maggie is thrilled to meet Riley, but her husband is overseas on business, and she wants to tell him about Riley first before telling the rest of her family.

Then Riley meets Maggie's beautiful stepdaughter, Jayne, and falls desperately in love with her. How can she tell Jayne about her true feelings without also telling her about her connection to Maggie, and thus breaking her promise to her birth mother?

Classic Lyn Denison with fabulous narration!

Riley James gets a whole lot more than she bargained for when she leaves her home for an extended stay in Brisbane to meet and get to know her birth mother. While she's had a wonderful life with her adoptive family, at 25 years old she desperately wants to know more about the woman who gave birth to her and what the circumstances were that resulted in her being given up for adoption. While she hopes for the best and braces for the worst, she has no idea how much this trip will alter the course of her life.

This story has a little bit of everything - family dynamics, strong friendships, annoying love interests - and ultimately a lovely, unconventional romance. The slow-building chemistry between Riley and Jayne is palpable and I was aching right along with Riley that the beautiful entrepreneur might share her feelings.

I am beyond excited that Lyn Denison is releasing her books - including her back catalog - on audio! When an author's works have lived on your shelves for decades, having them released in a new format is particularly special. I was in pure heaven with my first listen - Gold Fever - and revisiting Dreams Found was a real treat as well. I was introduced to Aussie narrator Jenny Walters with the first book and after this latest one, my appreciation of her voice and work is now solidified. For those that love an authentic Australian accent with a top tier narrator, I urge you to give these a listen. While the love scenes in this are certainly stimulating, they're more on the tame side. In Jenny's voice, though, I was seriously weak in the knees. I will neither confirm nor deny that I listened to one particular line an embarrassing number of times. I am spoiled, spoiled, spoiled I tell you!

To the Denison/Walters combination I say thank you, and can we have another!
