PRAISE FOR ‘MISTY DREAMS’
★★★★★
“The rich language and description places the reader on St. Isabel, as if the story were an extended session of “people watching”- I felt an attachment to and intimacy with the characters by the end of the novel and wanted to “meet” them in person!! A timely story with hope and healing as the main themes- very relevant in light of recent events- don’t miss it!!” ~ Rose Ann B, Amazon reader

“Josephine Strand writes a gripping narrative of how one small mistake can lead to big consequences. Many readers can relate to wanting more—be it forgotten dreams or lost loves—and hoping to find happiness amidst the loss. What’s great is how Strand connects all the pieces and ties the plot in a pretty bow.” ~ Hayley Haun for Readers’ Favorite

“I truly loved this book! It made my heart sing and cry. I felt the connection between Richard and Misty right from the start and my heart broke when they were torn apart. The twists and turns of the story were perfect, and I couldn’t have been happier with the ending! I always like to guess the mystery before it unfolds, and although I was close, I’m happy to say this ending was better! The descriptions of St. Isabel Island were lovely and it had me yearning for that same peacefulness…” ~ Anonymous reader, Amazon

“A subtle blend of exotic background, interesting characters, a years-old mystery, a twisty plot, family love and family conflict… Misty Dreams doesn’t have that painfully proper, starchy feel some clean novels have. It’s also well-written, which is not a given even with some very popular, highly touted books. This is Ms. Strand’s first novel, and I’m impressed.” ~ Kathleen Buckley, Amazon reader

“One of the most interesting romance stories I have read in a long while. It is the debut novel of Josephine Strand, and I have to say it is a topnotch debut novel. It is well written and has been well edited.
Misty Dreams kept me up past my bedtime every night until I finished reading it. It was hard to put down when I had to. The story was unique and Ms. Strand created such wonderful characters, I couldn’t help but love them and want to see them overcome their struggles and be happy. There was conflict and suspense from the beginning until very near the end. There was even a surprise twist near the end.”~ Kelly Barr, blogger

“All I can say is brilliant!!!!! Josephine does a masterful job drawing the reader in and you don’t even realize it until you reach the end!

“MISTY DREAMS is an outstanding clean romance with characters that jumped off the pages and into my heart. I read this book over a period of a few days. And once I reached Chapter 19, I couldn’t get the characters or that island and its sea mist, out of my head, so I woke up in the middle of the night and plowed straight through the pages to the very satisfying end.” ~ Dee, Amazon reader
