Title: Dreaming of You

AUTHOR: Francis Ray

Brandon Grayson is up against a formidable foe. His devoted and determined mother has vowed to marry him off to a woman of her choosing, just as she did his older brothers. Brandon has no intention of being tricked into falling in love, but by avoiding it, he finds himself steering straight for it.

Faith McBride is a successful hotel owner and manager, and the little sister to Brandon’s childhood friends. For years, she has kept her love for Brandon a secret, but now the fear of losing him to the power of his mother’s matchmaking puts on the pressure. She decides to take the risk and sets out to convince Brandon that she can be so much more than just a friend.


An authentic romance, “Dreaming of You” is a sweet story about the underdog finding true love. The goodness and upstanding nature of the lovers is undeniable and highly attractive. The writing is excellent, being both realistic and entertainingly colorful. The dialogue, key to an exciting romance novel, is equally substantial and revealing. And of course, like all the best-enjoyed romance, it contains a nice spattering of passionate and provocative moments.
