Dream a Little Dream (Choc Lit) [Kindle Edition]

A welcome addition to Moorcroft's Middledip set series of novels, this focuses on Liza Reece, a holistic therapist at The Stables. Blighted by her reaction to a marriage proposal, which in turn led to more serious repercussions, Liza leads a buttoned-up, work orientated life. Enter Dominic Christy, ex-air traffic controller, who is dashing and obnoxious, clearly smitten with her and suffering from narcolepsy - they fit well together but, as always, the path to true love never runs smoothly. There are a lot of things to praise with this novel, from the expert characterisation (we know very little about Edward, who runs The Stables, but Sue paints us a vivid picture with one or two sentence and it never leaves us), the locations and the use of narcolepsy, where its clear she's done a lot of research, but it never appears stiff or educational. Liza is a typical Moorcroft heroine, tough but with a tender side and she's the sister of Cleo (from "All That Mullarkey" and still one of my all-time favourite female characters ever), revelling in her role as Auntie (Cleo now has a young son and it's nice to get a snapshot of her life, later on from her own novel) and we want her to do well and move on from the traumas of her life. With a nice jealous/vicious angle from a secondary character, this is never less than readable, moves at a good pace and is full of life. Very much recommended.

This is the first book I have read by Sue Moorcroft so I had no expectations of what would be on the pages.

I was delighted to find a book that hooked me in straight away. It's a great story of young people struggling in their own ways, whether it is the boss from hell, relationships that have broken down or health issues that people just don't seem to understand!

Really well written with characters that you will connect with and enjoy following their paths. Lots of fun and laughter to it, but it also had a very different element to this book with the condition of the leading man. Dominic suffers from narcolepsy and it is extremely obvious that Sue has invested a lot of time in researching this condition which in turn actually meant whilst turning the pages and enjoying this novel, I was also learning something!

A wonderful read and a real page turner. I certainly will be reading more of Sue's novels in the future.

This book was amazing, but I've come to expect nothing less from the lovely Sue Moorcroft. Her characterisation is second to none. I genuinely already miss the characters, particularly Dominic, Liza and talented little Crosswind. The plot is surprising, yet plausible, and keeps your interest the whole way through. Even bit part characters are intricately woven into the fabric of Middledip and Liza and Dominic's lives so cleverly. I love the ties in with other Sue Moorcroft novels. Middledip was always an intriguing place and characters like Cleo, Justin and Shona were so loveable the first time round, it was a joy coming across them again. Although Ratty (my favourite choc lit hero) never got look in! The reflexology aspect was quirky and intriguing, and Dominic's narcolepsy fascinating and handled so beautifully. Choc Lit at its BEST! I will be recommending this to my book club, friends, family, facebook friends and twitter followers!
