This book was "Beyond All Dreams!"

Elizabeth Camden has quickly become one of my favorite authors!  I do not know if there is a word to describe the elation I felt when I finally had the chance to read this book!  Beyond All Dreams brings us the story of Anna, a research librarian working in the Library of Congress, and Luke, a congressman from Maine. Their histories share a lot of the same sorrows that build an almost impenetrable wall between them that their mutual attraction does its best to tear down. 

Mrs. Camden possesses a vast knowledge of medical conditions and I enjoy how she uses her knowledge of these conditions to enhance the storylines of her books. These conditions, while minor, give the main characters (secondary characters more in this book) a lot of depth and draws the reader into the story.  

Another thing I enjoy about her stories is the way she weaves her stories around historical events.  Beyond All Dreams occurs prior to the Spanish-American war.  Although her story is fiction, it gives the reader an understanding of events from a different point of view.  The historical events also give the reader an understanding of what drives the characters in the story.  This book gives insight into the historical events that history books do not. 

This story is a perfect choice for anyone who likes historical romance.  Miss Camden's characters are real and believable, with faults and characteristics that make them relatable to the reader.  I give this book 5 stars and look forward to Mrs. Camden's next release.
