House of Dreams

By: Brenda Joyce

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

In House of Dreams, two aristocratic families, one English, one Spanish, have been tragically destined to come together time and again over the centuries.

Cassandra de Warenne spends her days in a quiet English manor, looking after her young niece, while her sister, Tracey, lives the glamorous life of a jet-setter. When Cass meets Tracey's newest conquest, Antonio de la Barca, she isn't prepared for the intense and immediate attraction - an attraction that heralds something deeper, more powerful, and more dangerous than Cass could ever imagine.

For the de Warennes and the de la Barcas have a tangled history of horrendous heartbreak, bitter rivalry, and bloodshed that began 450 years ago, with one woman, Isabel, forsaken and betrayed by her family, her lover, and her friends.

Today, Isabel has summoned the two families together one final time - this time to complete a quest for vengeance from beyond the grave.

Critic reviews

"Brenda Joyce blends chills and romantic thrills...A first-rate tale." (People)
"The is one book you won't want to miss." (Beachlife)

Not her usual

I just couldn't get into this book. Even though I listened to it all, if your are a Brenda Joyce fan, I wouldn't recommend it. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend it even if you're not.

Unrealistic

I have read other Brenda Joyce books and enjoyed them. The writing seemed stilted and the relationship between the sisters unrealistic.

A good read

I couldn’t stop listening to this story. Although it’s not really my type of Brenda Joyce book, it was still great. The narrator did an excellent job. No easy thing narrating this story to be sure but she did very well.
