Books: Dreams and Desires
Now available from True love, freedom, money, knowledge, revenge... Dreams and desires of the ordinary woman, or man. From best friends who discover love to a bank teller who exacts revenge to a succubus who loves art more than men, this collection of nineteen stories celebrates the attainment of all one can dream or desire. Which one do you secretly yearn for? My story, “Taking the Alleys,” is about a young man who believes he’s found the woman of his dreams – but he’s not confident she feels the same way. She’s a free spirit and he thinks he’s Mr. Conventional, nowhere near as exciting as her and her friends – and yet the two of them just seem to click. Now he’s finally summoned the courage to go after her.
By purchasing this collection, you can help turn someone's nightmare into the pursuit of dreams. Every year, four million women are assaulted by their partners. At Freya's Bower, we want to do our part to bring this statistic down to zero. To this end, all net proceeds from every Dreams and Desire anthology purchased will go to a battered woman's shelter. Through education and support, we can make a difference.

Each tale offers its own unique twist but one theme remains throughout and that is the power of survival against all odds. Whether dealing with an annoying coworker or the overwhelming grief of losing a loved one, each story offers a glimpse of hope. DREAMS AND DESIRES is a welcome addition to anyone's reading collection!” “Taking the Alleys by Susan Lyons is a tale of one woman's thoughts on her relationship and her desire for commitment with her partner. Written in first person perspective, Taking the Alley chronicles Bear's insecurities in a touching manner that readers will relate to. Bear and Jeff (who is a woman) come from different worlds but love is a universal language as Ms. Lyons aptly demonstrates. ” — Anne, CK2S Kwips and Kritiques “A fantastic collection, which kept me up long into the night from beginning to end. Warning: Once started, you won't want to put it down.” “Taking the Alleys by Susan Lyons: A story from the male POV (refreshing). Frank describes how he met the woman in his life. This story captures what every woman wishes her man felt about her. His character shines from the page - he's someone I would like to meet if he existed in real life. I enjoyed this story simply because I felt 'involved' in it, that I knew Frank by the time the tale ended. And what a deliciously sweet ending it is too. Lovely. Just lovely. Favourite lines: My life back home is fine. Just fine. But when I'm with Jeff, it's bigger and brighter. The voice in this story is just perfect.” — White Russian, Cocktail Reviews

Here's what reviewers say about Dreams and Desires"Dreams & Desires is one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a while. Just when I'm convinced that it's some kind of cosmic rule for anthologies in general to be disappointing in one way or the other, I find myself laughing quietly to nearly every story, sighing softly at many of them... Rating: 90/100.".
– Mrs. Giggles "Anthologies can be risky for a reader - will all of the stories live up to the same high expectations? Will the next story be as good - or better - than the one just finished? With Dreams and Desires, the answer is a resounding yes; I'll be looking for many of these authors in the future. When you reach the end of Dreams and Desires, you'll be left craving more of these short reads. Rating: 5 kisses." — Deborah Barone, Romance Divas "From the Sweet to the Sizzling, from the new relationship taking steps to become more enmeshed, to a friendship evolving into something more, there is truly something here for everyone. All the talent brings to you these stories that will give you a lift, and bring light to any grey day... The talent displayed for this good cause is staggering, and the volume will be a treasured addition to every bookshelf it graces." — Rose, Romance at Heart Magazine "Freya's Bower brings us an unforgettable Anthology that will warm you right down to your toes. The nineteen beautifully written stories will capture your heart and sweep you away. You will savor every word. Freya's Bowers reputation for quality has never failed to please. Rating: 5 roses.
