Reviews:
​
“Lemor is a one-click author for me because she writes emotion like no one’s business, and this book is chock full of it! She can pull the same emotions she’s giving her characters on the page out from her readers, and did time and time again for me while I was reading this story.”
“When reading True Dreams I rode an emotional rollercoaster. The author introduced TJ and Sara as well rounded but flawed characters that you fell in love with from the first chapter.”
​
“Once again Lemor hooks the reader in with humor, sadness, and of course a roller coaster of a romance.”

Excerpt:
​
“She’s sweet, isn’t she?” Mary asked at his shoulder. She needed a bell around her neck.
​
“Who? Sara Sunshine? That’s a little too much happiness for me.”
“Only because you’re a miserable old grouch. She’d be good for you. Make you start living again.”
He frowned, proving her point. His first eighteen years he’d done more living than anyone should. Look at where it’d gotten him.
“Enough with the Cupid’s arrow. She’d never be interested if she knew who I was…what I really am.”
Mary pointed her finger at his face. “Stop. You aren’t the same wild teen you were ten years ago. Or even the young man who asked me for a job six years ago. You need to let it go.”
Damn, he wanted to. But deep inside, he was still the same twisted person. He might be a revised edition with a shiny new cover and up to date formatting, but the story was still trash. If Sara stuck around long enough, she’d see it. That would wipe the smile off even her face.
