Both Delvina and Kent are spirited, strong, and passionate, and their chemistry in unmatched during this second chance romance with a marital twist! Both Delvina and Kent are looking to find their own identities amongst the clamor of family mysteries and secrets, and in the process they learn to lean on God in faith while also trusting each other. The mystery is fast paced with a stunning conclusion you will NOT see coming, so prepare to read this gem of a story in one sitting! You won’t be able to put it down! I truly believe that Rachel Scott McDaniel has an unparalleled ability to write perfectly paced action, mystery, faith, humor and romance in a thoroughly entertaining read that never disappoints.

From the amazing main characters to the twists and turns of the mystery, this story had me immersed in 1920's New York. The relationships and romance are just perfect! I felt as if I knew these characters. They dealt with struggles, yet matured through them. And the romance was swoony! The sleuthing was fun to follow with quite the suspenseful solution! McDaniel has become one of my favorite authors! Highly recommended! I received an early digital copy from the publisher opinions are my own.

The Dreams We Knew is one of those books that once you start reading, you become so totally absorbed in the story, setting, and lives of the characters that you simply can’t put it down! The suspenseful, intriguing mystery kept me engaged from the beginning and guessing to the end. This captivating story unites two of my favorite side characters from prior books—Delvina Kline from The Mobster’s Daughter and Kent Brisbane from Walking on Hidden Wings. Their second-chance romance features lots of playful, teasing banter and just the right amount of romantic chemistry. I love the effectively executed use of flashbacks from 1920, which provide important background information and give in-depth insight from Kent’s point of view, while the main narrative (excluding the epilogue) is conveyed from Delvina’s point of view. The authentic, beautifully sketched Roaring Twenties New York setting brings the story to life, and amazing historical detail woven throughout the story adds authenticity and interest. I love everything about this book—Inspirational Historical Romantic Suspense at its best! It easily made my “best reads ever” list and comes with my highest recommendation! I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley with no obligation to write a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
