The Secret Dreams of Emily Porter by Judith Raxten

In a cottage by the sea...

Emily Porter never truly thought she'd find the kind of love that would fill her soul with tenderness, passion...and peace. But that was before Ethan Douglas. In Ethan she found a love that shaped her life. In his seaside cottage she found a whole new world.

Then Ethan dies suddenly and Emily—miraculously pregnant with his baby—is left to grieve alone in their isolated cottage. But there are signs that she may not be alone after all. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, Emily begins to feel Ethan.

But whether Ethan is memory or ghost or dream, Emily is determined to keep him with her. When her beloved cottage burns to ashes, she hires Josh Lundgren to rebuild it. Josh, the carpenter chosen by Ethan himself. Chosen for her?

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: Top Pick

I fell in love with Judith Raxten's new release, THE SECRET DREAMS OF EMILY PORTER. You'll laugh, cry and become swept up in the love affair between Ethan and Emily. It's a great contemporary romance from Harlequin's Everlasting series, and I can't wait to read more stories from this talented author.

You'll love how Emily and Ethan meet. They are both endearing characters and I found myself becoming completely drawn into the story when tragedy strikes them. The love that Ethan has for Emily knows no bounds in this life and the afterlife.

Emily has been through a bad marriage and divorce before she even met Ethan. What she has to go through now, is going to test her in ways she never thought possible. After Ethan's death, Emily meets a man, Josh, who has a past as painful as hers. Josh is such a warm and lovable man, and he and Emily are a perfect match.

Judith Raxten wrote a simply beautiful love story. THE SECRET DREAMS OF EMILY PORTER is a definate keeper on my bookshelf. If you like your romances tender, touching and timeless, then this book is just for you!
