I enjoy Patricia Rice books. They are the kind of books that you read when you really want to feel. They aren't a lot of fluff but strong on substance. Having said that, this wasn't my favorite. I read it because it is a must if you are going to read the Mcloud Brothers series of books. The main female Character of the first Mcloud book, "Almost Perfect", is in "Impossible Dreams". Her entire backstory is in this book and you really need that information in order to completely understand and get her when you move on to her story.

This book is good. Don't get me wrong about that. The problem is in the flow of the book. I usually average a book a day, and this one took several for me to get through. It seems a bit choppy and just jumps right in on the first page without enough explanation that is much needed to make it all make sense. I don't like a book that does that and then takes you to page 300 before you finally go - ahhhh, now I understand what those old letters are for, or whatever. But all in all, it is a very heartfelt book and gets better as you get into it. Just be prepared for a little confusion in the beginning. But stick with it. You will enjoy it in the end and the Mcloud series after this is really good!!!
