Description: They say that opposites attract. But what happens when one has been devastated by betrayal and the other is so jaded that his heart is made of stone? Enter the world of Friday Harbor, an enchanting town in the Pacific Northwest where things are not quite as they seem and where true love might just have a ghost of a chance…. Alex Nolan is as bitter and cynical as they come. One of the three Nolan brothers who call Friday harbor home, he's nothing like Sam or Mark. They actually believe in love; they think the risk of pain is worth the chance of happiness. But Alex battles his demons with the help of a whiskey bottle, and he lives in his own private hell. And then a ghost shows up. Only Alex can see him, Has Alex finally crossed over the threshold to insanity? Zoë Hoffman is as gentle and romantic as they come. When she meets the startling gorgeous Alex Nolan, all her instincts tell her to run. Even Alex tells her to run. But something in him calls to Zoë, and she forces him to take a look at his life with a clear eye and to open his mind to the possibility that love isn’t for the foolish. The ghost has been existing in the half-light of this world for decades. He doesn’t know who he is, or why he is stuck in the Nolans’ Victorian house. All he knows is that he loved a girl once. And Alex and Zoë hold the key to unlocking a mystery that keeps him trapped here. Zoë and Alex are oil and water, fire and ice, sunshine and shadow. But sometimes it takes only a glimmer of light to chase away the dark, and sometimes love can reach beyond time, space, and reason to take hold of hearts that yearn for it…

Zoe Hoffman is a great cook, her creations are almost magical. With her grandmother needing fulltime care, Zoe takes on the responsibility, renovating her cottage. Alex, the youngest Nolan brother is in a bad place. With his marriage break-up and now financially broke, Alex is spiraling down into alcoholism. Zoe hires Alex to renovate the cottage. As with the previous books in this series there are some paranormal elements to the contemporary setting. Alex has a ghost who needs his help. And at times the relationship between Alex and the

ghost tends to rival the romance between Alex and Zoe for centre-stage. And like the other books this leans more to women's fiction, than contemporary romance. Individually I liked both Alex and Zoe. And though their romance was fraught with problems (of course) I enjoyed seeing their relationship blossom. This has so far been my favourite romance of the series. Zoe is sweet, kind and loving. Alex is bitter and brooding. A perfect match. This is a sweet story. And there is some of the trademark Lisa Kleypas magic with the writing, humour, characterisations and emotion. The beginning was fairly slowly-paced, only picking up steam for me in the second half. Dream Lake runs in parallel time with Rainshadow Road book #2. Zoe's food creations were beautifully and mouth-wateringly described. I haven't been overly impressed with this series. For me, the contemporary romance and the magical realism/paranormal elements doesn't quite work. Personally I can't wait for Ms Kleypas to be done with Friday Harbor and get to writing Joe's story for the Travis series! However, readers who have enjoyed the first two books, will love this. If you haven't enjoyed the first two books but still enjoy Lisa Kleypas's writing I suggest you put a hold at the library. I think Dream Lake is worth reading and I will probably be reading the next installment in the series, but like this book I'll be picking it up from the library. Scrapes in at 4 stars.
