Summary: Excellent Lowell January 31, 2001
Comment: What better way to spend an enjoyable afternoon than with a reread of "Valley of the Sun" or a first time read of "Beautiful Dreamer", by Elizabeth Lowell! Rio is a mysterious,intelligent, gorgeous guy, if somewhat dubius of his potential, who thinks he is unable to have any life other than a wanderer. Hope (don't you love this name?) knows only that she wants to preserve her ranch at all costs. Allows herself to dream of a future even though she has fallen in love with a man who thinks he cannot dream. Glorious, colorful, western background surrounding an unforgettable romantic struggle.
Rating: 4
Summary: Sweet - but predictable
Comment: I chose this book because it had Elizabeth Lowell's name on it, and ordered it before there were any reviews. I expected the usual gripping suspense, twisting plots, and exciting romance. I didn't know it was an expanded version of a release from some 16 years ago. Well, there wasn't the gripping suspense, the plot had no unexpected twists, and you knew from the start that eventually Hope's beloved Valley of the Sun would be saved, and the couple would live happily ever after.
What held me enthralled and gave this book the 4 stars it deserved was Lowell's ability to strongly develop her characters. You couldn't help but get involved in Hope's dream - you felt the physical exhaustion as she struggled to do the work what had to be done to bring water to her cattle. You saw the world through Rio's heart and soul as he was determined to help her find the water to save the ranch, as he struggled not let a romance develop between them as he would have to move on and didn't want to hurt her. You felt Rio's pain that no white woman would ever want to have a child his mixed breed bloodline. You couldn't help but get caught up in the passion of the love between Hope and Rio.
It was enough. Lowell's creative magic made for a very enjoyable evening's entertainment.

Summary: Western dreams
Comment: (...)
I like western romance novels, and nothing comes close to Beautiful Dreamer. The plot line is refreshingly original, the characters are believable and have won a place in my heart. Elizabeth Lowell paints the west so vividly. I've read several other of Lowell's books, and this is undoubtably my favorite. I really wish there were more books like this. Thanks!
