Chasing Dreams by Jaclyn Reding

Oh, how I love Jaclyn Reding’s work! Everything I have read by her has been thoroughly engrossing, and Chasing Dreams is no exception.

With well-crafted characters, twists, and turns, Cassia and Rolfe’s story kept my attention from start to finish. I just couldn’t put it down!

The second in a two-book series (Merry Monarchs), it holds its own without reading the first. However, I’m sure reading the first one, Tempting Fate, would have added more depth and understanding of some characters’ relationships.

I wholeheartedly recommend Chasing Dreams!

From Goodreads:

At the court of the “Merry Monarch,” newly crowned King Charles II, they call Cassia Montefort “Lady Winter.” Amid the decadence of the life at Whitehall Palace, she is the untouchable ice princess, a favorite of His Majesty, some even say a royal mistress. But no one knew how she suffered at her own father’s hand, or of her real reasons for meeting with the King. Now, Lord Montefort has been murdered and the lords and ladies of the court whisper that Cassia, his sole heiress, should hang. The king orders one of his most-trusted men, Rolfe Brodrigan, Lord Ravenscroft, to guard her, and if possible, to prove her innocence. But is she innocent? Or is she merely a consummate schemer well-versed in the game of court intrigue?
