Editorial Review:
Leslie Harris's return home after a decade of triumphs and disappointment resembles a nightmare more than the quiet stroll down memory lane she'd hoped for. A run-in with much-changed town bad girl Devon Watts, a woman she'd once secretly lusted after, rekindles small town jealousies and old heart aches--and reminds Leslie just why she left. Two women whose lives turned out far differently than they'd once imagined discover that sometimes the shape of the future can only be found in the past--and love is strongest when dreams tremble.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not Up to Radclyffe's usual excellent standards!!
I simply love Radclyffe's writing, have done so for the past 3 years or so. This was the time I "discovered" Radclyffe's books.
It saddens me to say that I was for the first time disappointed. It simply wasn't up to her usual excellent standards.
It was a difficult read for the first twelve chapters, I almost put it down without finishing it, then I decided that I should go ahead and read on.
Radclyffe has a beautiful crisp, engaging narrative that usually grabs you ... Read More
Rating:  - Ever Been In Love With Your Best Friend?
I believe anyone could relate to this book to a certain degree. Anyone who survived puberty have had friendships that blurred the boundaries of convention.
Devon Weber has always felt like the outsider. This was especially true in her high school years. She knew she was different than everyone else...especially the girls who were her peers. As someone who has also struggled with sexuality in those formative years, I can relate.
Now, Devon is Dr. Weber...a successful biologist and a woman ... Read More
Rating: - Less than Stellar
At one time Radclyffe was one of my favorite authors. Her earlier work was stellar, intriguing with well-developed characters, storylines that kept me interested in each page. Her more recent work, including this one, has fallen short. I bought this one thinking maybe it would be as good as her earlier work, but I find myself with another one to donate/give away. I hadn't bought one for quite a while, but took my chance based on loving her earlier work. I hope she can take some time to get back to her ... Read More
Rating: - Like reliving memories
I found this book a very good read. I couldn't put it down. The relationship between Leslie and Devon reminded me so much of my trouble times in high school and the love I lost there. The way you can feel the tension between the two characters everytime they meet is amazing. Beautifully written, I found myself in love with the characters.
Rating: - A boring romance
In her books Radclyffe likes to use angst in order to increase sexual tension between their characters. In fact, Radclyffe has said in an interview to Just About Write: "I'm big on angst and redemption. I like darker romances with a lot of suffering". In some cases, those high levels of angst may make sense, e.g. if one of the characters is dying as in "Love's Masquerade". However in a book such as "When Dreams Tremble", there is not an apparent reason for the characters' suffering. In fact, the level of angst ... Read More
