Leena's resolve to do whatever is necessary to keep the man she's grown to love and his sons alive strengthens her, Reid is the keeper of her dreams.


Keeper of my Dreams is a breathtaking historical romance I couldn't put down. From the beginning, I found myself whisked away to 16th century Scotland for an unforgettable adventure. Susan Leigh Furlong is a gifted historical romance writer. Using descriptive narration, the author plunges the reader into a time and place they may not be familiar with. The plot moves at an excellent pace with intricate historical accuracy. Every detail about gunsmithing in the 16th century added such depth to the overall story. I found it fascinating myself. The hero and heroine are widowed so it was natural for them to talk about their passed-on partners. At the core, it's a seasoned romance filled with heart, intrigue, adventure, and three adorable little boys. Brilliantly written, Keeper of my Dreams is a fresh take on romance in 16th century Scotland. Fans of Scottish romance will love this book. If you enjoy reading historical romance, you'll love Keeper of my Dreams. Another gem from the talented Susan Leigh Furlong. Highly recommend!
