Book Summary
In a bid to escape the incessant attentions of a man she does not love, governess Lucy Hayes embarks on a journey to begin a new post. But when she’s stranded in a storm, her plans go shockingly awry. Desperate times call for desperate measures: against her better judgment, she agrees to a foolhardy scheme presented by a handsome stranger, known to her as only William. But when her mysterious benefactor falls ill, she finds herself unwittingly drawn into his family home in a case of mistaken identity: they believe she is William’s betrothed. Though she realizes she should admit the truth, the family’s warmth and welcome make it all too easy to play along, just for a while. Until she meets Baron Lord Simon Calloway, William’s older brother.
Simon is suspicious of his lovely future sister-in-law, a woman who seems completely unsuited to his self-important brother. As they wait for William to awake, Simon and Lucy are drawn ever closer together. But danger draws closer too, in the form of her unwanted suitor. Lucy knows that when Simon discovers the truth, he will despise her. Now she must find a way to keep herself safe . . . and avoid falling hopelessly in love with a man she can never have.

My Review
What Dreams May Come is a Regency twist on the movie, While You Were Sleeping. Lucy left her job as a governess to get away from her employer's pushy brother. In her journey to escape, her paths cross with William Calloway who helps hide her by posing as her husband. William falls into a fever and now Lucy is "known" as William's betrothed. At William's family home Lucy is accepted as a soon-to-be family member. But it's hard for Lucy to lie to such kind, and loving people. Another problem is that William has an older brother, Baron Lord Simon Calloway. Simon proves to be a challenge to Lucy and vice versa. They try very hard not to acknowledge the attraction to each other. Will the truth bring them together or tear them apart?
The storyline is pretty well known and readers will know where the ending is headed. The nice part of this story is how it all develops. I loved the Calloway's mother and the sister Olivia. They were so warm and welcoming. The most humorous character is Simon's friend, Nicholas. He catches on to Lucy's scheme but he still is very supportive of her. Mr.Granger, the villainous man trying to force Lucy into marriage is super annoying. Most of the time he isn't even in the story but when he is, he makes my skin crawl.
How does this all end up? Guess what? You get to read What Dreams May Come on your own to enjoy the surprises, romance, humor, and trepidation that is found among the pages of this new Regency Romance.
