About this listen
In Dreaming of Love, Emily Braden is a leader in architectural preservation, a pillar in her small hometown, and successful in everything she does - with the exception of finding true love. She's watched several of her brothers fall in love, and she needs this trip to Tuscany to get away from it all and to stop focusing on what she doesn't have.
Dae Bray doesn't do flings, and he never stays in one place for very long. As a demolitionist he goes where jobs take him, and the more often he travels, the better. His trip to Tuscany is all work - until he meets smart and sexy Emily, who makes him reconsider his fear of settling down, his no-fling rule - and just about everything else he's ever believed about himself.
Passion sizzles as Dae and Emily explore the history and beauty of Tuscany. Their romance moves beyond tourist attractions to the bedroom, blossoming into a deep connection neither can deny. But their worlds collide when Emily wants to preserve the property that Dae is there to demolish. Can a woman who sees the beauty in preservation and a man whose life is spent tearing things down find a solid foundation for their love?

Witty and Serious
Melissa penned a hot and delicious story of love in Italy. B. J. Harrison will pull air from your lungs with the narration of it.
Emily Braden is an architect and she travels out of Trusty, Colorado to Tuscany, Italy to get away for a while. Dae Bray travels to Tuscany to demolish a house with a tree growing into it. When they meet passion sizzles, but they have a big problem. Emily wants to preserve the house and Dae was hired to demolish it. Dae did not do flings and Emily was not fling materiel. Would a house and tree come between them? The story will have a powerful effect on you!

Melissa made me feel as though I was on a vacation in Italy with Emily. Emily met Dae her first night in Italy. She there for vacation, he there for work. There was an instant attraction between them. I loved this story. I love the narration of BJ Harrison.

Two totally different people---
What made the experience of listening to Dreaming of Love: Emily Braden the most enjoyable?
You can actually listen to them gradually falling in love...step by step...minute by minute...
What did you like best about this story?
His love of blowing things up and her need to protect...you would think that they would mix like oil and vinegar, who knew????She wants what all her brothers have found, and thinks that love may have passed her by, until Dae came along. Beautiful story. Very good on Audible.Well done again Ms. Foster
What about B.J. Harrison’s performance did you like?
I am liking him better and better each book I listen to.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When he purchased the property that he was looking at to demolish.
Any additional comments?
Well done again Ms. Foster!

Good book!
I enjoyed Emily and Dae's book from the beginning. The pair were a good match in that where they had similar yet different careers they do well in challenging each other. They were well written characters that were developed with chemistry. I liked the couple's strong sense of family as well. The plot of the story flowed well and I was given the sense that I too was on vacation with the pair with the laid back feel of this book. The narrator, Mr. Harrison did well with the narration in that it was clear and he made the story flow well. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and would recommend it to others.

Such a Romantic Story
I was so excited to get Emily's story. I love her. She has a dynamic personality. Then, this book takes place in Tuscany. How romantic! Very quickly, she meets Dae, who is there on business. The chemistry between them is immediate and is sizzling hot. From there, is one of the most romantic stories that I have read by Melissa Foster. Now of course, everything can't go smooth, but it sure is close. I loved the story of the House of Wishes. I could just picture all the women writing their wishes and putting them into the tree. Then, there is B.J. Harrison, the narrator. He is one of the best in the business. His voice is so nice to listen to, no matter what is going on in the story. It is very impressive how you can always tell who is talking, or whose point of view he is reading. Melissa Foster and B.J. Harrison is an awesome combination.

Architecture Girl & Demo Boy Find True Love
If you could sum up Dreaming of Love: Emily Braden in three words, what would they be?
Sizzling, sweet and sexy
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dreaming of Love: Emily Braden?
The scene where Emily entered her room in Tuscany after spending the day with Dae and red poppies covered every surface of her room and the beautiful note left on her bed.
The night they spent at the House of Wishes during the unexpected storm while bike riding. They got to see the tree from the inside and felt the energy of the house. It was so romantic the way Dae took such tender care of Emily after her fall and how it all brought them even closer.
Have you listened to any of B.J. Harrison’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes and he never disappoints. Kudos to B.J. Harrison for the excellent narration. His ability to switch characters as well as allowing you to know when a character is thinking versus speaking is amazing. He gives each character their own tone, inflection and even accent when needed.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I prefer to listen to it when I have time to really pay attention and then I like to listen to it a second time, but I could easily if I had the time.
Any additional comments?
Well written, beautifully paced and expertly narrated.
