Dreaming Of You is my first book by Francis Ray, November 11,2018

I love romance novel, about African American love. Many times our love is ignore as if we don't love, this book shows the tender and passion side of Black love. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the Grayson Novels as well as all the other Francis Ray books. Lizzie Smith

Great Story!

Mrs. Ray has done it again with latest editon to the Graysons series. In this story we get to meet Brandon! Ok where can I find me one...LOL! Brandon is very sweet, charming and funny. Faith is the perfect match for Brandon. She compliments him very well and in reading this story I could really identify with Faith. And the other men Mrs. Ray introduced into the story....oh boy! (Can't wait until Blade's story). We also get to check in with the other Grayson. And Mama Grayson is one crafty lady boy! I can't wait to see what she has in store for her last 2 children.

I loved this book

I loved the characters in this book. Brandon fell in love with his best friend Faith. Little did he know, that his mother planned this. I love the way Francis Ray brings back characters for her previous books. I can't wait until the next book.

From Friends to Lovers

I am a sucker for the best friends becoming lovers plot. I always get a kick out of watching folk realize that the love of their life was right in front of them the whole time. Ray brings freshness to this plot by adding a meddling mother and a heroine with her own plans to make the hero notice her. I loved the fact that Faith is not the perfect size six. And I adore the fact that Brandon loves her just the way she is. But what I really loved about this book was the fact that Ray weaved in their history and makes it clear to the reader that even though Brandon was slow to realize it, he has always loved and cared for Faith. The man took her to each and every one of her highschool dances! And when he realizes that he loves her, brother man goes all out! Pick this book up today! You won't regret it.

Ann-Romancer

Ms. Ray did another superb job! It is a page turner. Brandon, what can I say, another fine and sexy male specimen. This is the story of two friends---Brandon and Faith (who has been in love with him since high school, unbeknownst to him). His mother is determined to marry her third son off as she did her other two sons but he's not having it. Faith finally decides to try to get him to notice her as a WOMAN and not a FRIEND before his mother succeeds. The story pulls you into Faith's endeavors and Brandon's reactions. Ms. Ray also introduces some mysterious, intriguing, and hot characters that I hope get their own stories. This is a very good read. This is third in the Grayson series--UNTIL THERE WAS YOU and YOU AND NO OTHER are the first two, respectively.

Dreaming Of You...

Ms. Ray has surpassed her normal top level standard with Brandon's story in Dreaming of You. As a reader, I have been a fan of this author for many years and have followed the Falcons' and Graysons' since the beginning. Collectively, I have enjoyed this clan, but on an individual level, Dreaming of You has now risen to that favorite spot. Ms. Ray seems to have a knack for creating the perfect romance. Her writing style is so phenomenal that it actually has you believing in the white picket fence, the 2.5 kids and most importantly happily ever after. Faith McBride is a successful hotelier who fantasizes about a relationship with her brother's best friend, Brandon Grayson. Faith decides that before she allows Brandon's meddling mother to set him up and marry him off, she will devise a plan to make him notice her for the enticing woman that she is, instead of the kid-sister of his friends. Brandon Grayson is on to his mother and her plan for him to be the next of her children to marry. He is determined to make sure that he remains wife free despite his mother's successful record with his older siblings. Brandon amazingly has a leak in his apartment that requires that he relocate. Fortunately for Faith, he chooses to stay at her hotel. Now the fun really begins. This is the point where you try to determine if the romance that ensues is a coincidence, Faith's plan, or Ruth's orchestrations? Inquiring minds want to know...Thankfully, Ms. Rays' writing ability is proven because she tells you, yet she doesn't. It is my belief that Brandon... but the book leads you to believe..., I guess you will have to buy it to see. Enjoy because I certainly did. Oh yeah, if you have not taken the opportunity to read the previous books regarding these families, I must say that you are at a loss. I recommend that you grab the backlog and sit down for the divine literary feast that Ms. Ray presents. Reviewed by: Eleanor S. Shields, Black Butterfly Review
