Will Elise sacrifice herself in her dreams in order to save Joel in his reality?

Transcending Love is a contemporary work of fiction about a love story between a husband and wife with a metaphysical twist.

Elise couldn’t love Joel more. He is in her heart, on her mind, and when he leaves on a journalistic assignment within the US Military, he’s in her dreams.

The danger doesn’t stop at Joel’s feet. It begins in Elise’s subconscious. The longer he’s away, the greater the distance between them, and the more vivid her dreams grow.

Soon, the lines between her nocturnal visions and her everyday reality blur. As she searches for answers, she makes a stunning discovery. 

With aspirational and subconscious dreams colliding, Transcending Love will take you on an emotional journey filled with adventure, drama, and everlasting love.

Louise Jelley has taken our subconscious dreams, which we all take for granted, and turned them into an adventure where anything is possible.

Dreams or reality? A must read! Such an absorbing and emotional read - I was totally hooked from the first page. The fascination of dreams and what the human subconscious is capable of is so powerful. Couldn’t put it down - looking forward to the next book Louise Jelley!

Beautiful and Emotive An immersive read right from the beginning. I rarely finish books on the first go, I did with Transcending Love. Great characters and plenty of adventure to keep the pages turning.

A fascinating story, well researched and a joy to become absorbed in I don’t generally read fiction, unless I feel that the subject is or could be true to life. I’ve always been a vivid dreamer and my daughter experiences sleep paralysis/out of body experiences so this book piqued my interest.It may feel far fetched to some but if your sleep experiences have ever felt real this is the book for you!A fabulous first novel and I can’t wait to see what the next book has in store!

A Splendid Read Joel chooses to travel far to pursue his ambition to become a journalist, and prove to Elise that she does not need to doubt. Elise is very understanding and supportive, even though she hates the idea of Joel going away. It makes her worry and these worries cause her to have vivid dreams.Transcending Love' s storylines are well written and well researched, with great amounts of detail to capture the reader's imagination. As a reader it made me feel that I was there with Elise and Joel all the way. I genuinely enjoyed this book, it is dangerous yet thrilling with a little touch of mystery and charm. MDC.

Excellent read...couldn't put the book down I wasn’t too sure about reading this book when I read the synopsis, but have to say I really enjoyed reading it. It was definitely a book that I didn’t want to put down once I’d started it. Considering this is the author’s first novel, it is excellent. The amount of research completed is clear, making the story and detail realistic and plausible despite my initial cynicism. Congratulations to Louise Jelley and I look forward to her next book. I would highly recommend this book to someone who enjoys a unique story, a bit of adventure with an underlying love story.
