~**~ ARC Review: Dream (Rosewood Bay #4) by Carly Phillips ~**~


***4 Stars***

I was really excited when it was announced that Andi was getting her own book because after meeting her in Fearless, I thought if anyone deserved an HEA it was and Dream did not disappoint. It was quick, sweet and smexy read with a lot of heart and nice little dash of suspense tossed into the mix that kept me on my toes throughout the entire book.

I loved and admired Andi. She’s sweet, sassy and strong. She’s been through a lot, and though she still bears the scars from it all, she has picked herself up to make a better life for herself and her son. Kyle was a sweetheart. He’s got a laid back vibe going on that’s coupled with an alpha AF protective side that comes out when anyone he calls his own is in trouble.

Kyle and Andi’s journey to their HEA was one that I enjoyed because while it could have been a very angsty one, it wasn’t. This isn’t to say that it was an easy one, because it wasn’t, but they handled the issue between them well. There was a little push/pull going on, but in the end there was no doubt in my mind that they belonged together once everything was out in the open.

Dream was a fun, quick read and I enjoyed catching up with all the couples from the previous three books and finding out what they had going on. The bit of suspense tossed into the mix was well done and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the entire situation, but loved how it all turned out. I do wish there had a been a bit more in the end about Kane and Andi’s dad, but that’s just me. So, if you’re looking for a quick read to escape into, then I’d give this one a go!

Note: This one can be read as a standalone, but I’d recommend starting at the beginning of the series if you are able to.

She was his best friend, his first love. And she broke his heart. Now she’s back. Will they find a second chance?

As a little girl, Andrea Harmon wanted to marry a prince, and Kyle Davenport hoped it would be him. But he never told her how he felt, and lost her as a result. Because sometimes the bad guy gets the girl. And Kyle left town to get over her.

Andi made the wrong choice years ago, choosing the bad boy over the best friend she trusted and she paid for it every day since.

Coming face to face with his former best friend was bound to happen once he moved back to Rosewood Bay, but for Kyle, becoming her son’s new teacher is a painful reminder of what they never had. But this time around, Kyle is determined to change their ending. Prince Charming is determined to break down her walls.

Except that no happily-ever-after is won without a fight—and her ex-husband doesn’t like to lose.

Release Date: October 16th, 2018
