Free to Dream is the first novel I’ve read by Tracey Jerald. While it didn’t grab me from the beginning I am glad I stuck with it because I ended up enjoying the book about midway through. I will I could rank higher but 3.75 stars from this reviewer.

Cassidy left her old life behind as soon as she could. Her brother and 4 sisters came to live in Collyer Connecticut and opened a wedding planning business. It became successful but Cassidy couldn’t outrun the nightmares.

Caleb is an Army Veteran who runs his own private investigating firm. His brother is planning a wedding and needs Caleb’s help to vet the prospective company. Heading from NYC to Collyer Caleb meets Cassidy and is drawn to help her.

Cassidy and her family have each escaped a horror no children should ever be subjected to. While she struggles with recurring nightmares, her siblings are there to help and catch her when she stumbles. She has made a name for herself in the wedding planning business as someone who gets the job done, no holds bared.

Caleb is used to getting what he wants, when he wants it. Right now he wants Cassidy, but will learning about her past (and how it affects his family and friends) be more than he is willing to take on to get involved with her.

Cassidy hasn’t let her past define who she becomes, well not a lot if she can help it. Her brother Phillip has been her rock since she was 9 years old but will his secret destroy their bond? Overall this is a sweet tale of first love, and triumph over tragedy. A twisted storyline through everyone’s past and future which played out fairly well. As I said at the beginning of this review, the book failed to grab and hold my attention until about 2/3 way through. I picked up and put down numerous times (which I rarely do), thought about stopping but kept going (I don’t like to give up) and I’m really glad I did. The story toward the end held my attention and even had me chuckling out loud a few times.

I received an advance copy without expectation for review. Any and all opinions expressed are my own. While I see there is a storyline upcoming for 2 of the characters I met in Free to Dream I don’t know as if I will run right out to purchase but surely add to my want to read section to revisit at a later date. I certainly don’t speak for everyone but these were my interactions with my first book by Ms Jerald.
