Another good book in the Blue Heron series

In Your Dreams (The Blue Heron Series Book 4)

By: Kristan Higgins

Rating: 5 of 5

“In Your Dreams” is another great addition to a fun and funny series by Kristan Higgins. In this story, Emmeline (a police officer) and Jack (favored son of the Blue Heron winemakers) get together in usual Blue Heron series fashion. Jack actually does Em a great favor by being her date at her ex-fiance’s wedding – an event that she is dreading but has to go to. Jack is dealing with PTSD after saving the lives of some but not all of the victims of a drunken car accident – everyone thinks he is a hero but he is busy blaming himself for not doing more. Add that Em is dealing with her slightly wacko family and Jack his more than slightly wacko ex-wife and the stage is set for a Kristan Higgins novel.

Ms. Higgins always makes me laugh – her dialog and the situations she puts her characters in are just so funny. Surprisingly, this time she also got me to shed a few tears. That is not something usual. There are some scenes where I could identify with the sadness and the situation spoke so true, I had to stop reading for a while. This is not exactly what I expected in a light-hearted romance but added to my overall enjoyment of the book. It also spoke a little bit to Ms. Higgins growth as a novelist.

I enjoyed the book as I have all the other in the series. I look forward to perhaps more in the series but certainly to future books by Ms. Higgins.
