Max Duncan has picked up the shattered pieces of his life, and done his best to put his past behind him. Surprised at the strong connection with quiet new neighbor Claire, he doesn’t run when their casual friendship leads to an impetuous affair.
Just as love heats up, Claire finds her dreams haunted by a mysterious woman who is in danger. Secrets are slowly revealed, and the woman’s past relationship with Max begins to threaten lives, and put romance in peril. In a race against time, Claire realizes that only in the dream world will she find the key that unlocks the truth.

About the author
Alexa Jacobs
2 books15 followersAlexa Jacobs was born and raised in the suburban outskirts of Baltimore, Maryland. She met her husband through friends in high school, and began what turned out to be a short lived career in the financial industry. With her first child, she became a stay at home parent and threw all of her energy into becoming the queen of Pinterest before Pinterest was a thing.
When her second child headed off to kindergarten, Alexa thought that it was time for a career change.
After a decade with at least one child underfoot 24 hours a day, it was time for her to discover who she was going to be when she grew up.
Turns out, she was a mom who sat by the window and cried the entire day on that first day of “freedom” from early parenthood.
A few months, and many kindergarten volunteer days later, she sat down at the computer and dusted off the rough draft of a story she had crafted years ago. That draft turned into her debut book, Rising Ridge.

I really enjoyed the concept of Claire’s gift. Loved getting to know the characters and the side relationships of other smaller characters in the book.

Good enough to read twice
Alexa Jacobs' beautiful story about love, loss, and love reclaimed is worthy of being read twice. Her imaginative tale leaves one wondering about the possibilities of the untapped brain. The Dreamer weaves a thread of hope through the lives of two people who never dreamed, literally or figuratively, they would find love again. But nothing, not even a hundred year old family secret, can keep two people apart whose minds and hearts know they belong together. Well done, Ms. Jacobs. Well done.
