Editorial reviews

Passionate and deeply intimate, When Dreams Tremble is a story of an old love, rekindled. Leslie Harris thinks she has her life together until she runs into an old girlhood crush, the mysterious Devon Weber. Suddenly her relaxing vacation has turned into something far more serious.… Coleen Marlo performs Radclyffe's romantic work with all of the requisite flourishes and emotion. Marlo's tone is charming and relatable, just the type of performer a romantic thriller such as this deserves!

Publisher's summary

Leslie Harris's visit to her upstate New York lakeside family home after a decade of triumphs and disappointment resembles a nightmare more than the quiet vacation she'd hoped for. The unexpected appearance of much-changed town girl, Devon Weber, with whom Leslie shares a secret that haunts them both, rekindles an old heart ache - and reminds Leslie of just why she left.

Even though her attraction to Dev comes roaring back, the one thing Leslie doesn't want is to pick up where they left off, especially not when she already has just the life she wants - a rewarding high-power law practice, a condo in Manhattan, and a lover who satisfies her without demanding the intimacy Leslie avoids. Unfortunately, environmental biologist Devon Weber doesn't play by Leslie's rules. Two women whose lives turned out far differently than they'd once imagined discover that sometimes the shape of the future can only be found in the past - and love is strongest - When Dreams Tremble.

A step above the rest

The character development is on point, not only for the main characters but also the supporting cast. Tension is palpable between the two main characters.

Just Perfect

Radclyffe is a hit or miss for me - but this one is a Big hit for me. The story got me emotionally vested in the characters and wanting to know what happens a year or two later. Does Natalie hook up with the Sheriff ? Does Leslie eventually move from Manhattan?
I’m partial to Abby as a narrator but I’ve become a fan of Coleen Marlo. And those sex scenes- Leta just leave it at ... OMG

I Want a Sequel! Loved it so much.

These characters are great, I'd like to see them a few years down the road.

Entertaining

Typical storyline is good, but the repetion of excuses without common sense solutions is exhausting

Very dramatic storyline

Liz and Dev’s story was quite a drama filled story from beginning to ending. A love story encompassing years from teenage years to adulthood filled with unfulfilled yearnings and guilt. The author captured a gauntlet of emotional feelings displayed by both main characters both angry and sexual as well as the supporting characters. Overall this was a very enjoyable experience and entertaining story.

Wonderful...

If you could sum up When Dreams Tremble in three words, what would they be?

True Love Story

Any additional comments?

I have listened to this book four times. I love it. There are several very emotional sections that had me nearly in tears. I highly recommend this book!!

Made me miss my ex. Is that a good thing?

It’s one of those romantic books that makes you want to call your ex. Super cute. I really enjoyed it. ❤️

Slow burn and full of angst

but I could not stop listening. I really loved it. The angstiness got a little much towards the end right before it finally gets resolved, but its a minor irritation. I liked the characters and its sweet relief when they finally get together. Definitely worth your time.

Same

I couldn’t finish it. The narrator was trying to hide her British accent that it came out weird! Just irritated me.
