Pure brain candy. I had a lot of fun and that is why I read romance.
This book was a branch off of the Chicago Stars, so I went into it wary. It didn't have the football player/coach/etc, but instead followed one of the players' brothers. This book really tore at your heart and emotions.
More than 3 stars but not enough to round up to 4.
I really enjoy her books because I know I can lose myself for a few hours and be entertained. I would have ranked this higher if not for being annoyed by Cal and Ethan Bonner. As characters they were just too over-the-top in their unreasonable behavior.

I enjoyed this book as all Susan Elizabeth Phillips’s.
I liked Rachel and the double romance with Gabe-Rachel and Ethan-Christie.
I was a bit annoyed by Gabe’s attitude: I get the grumpiness and the grief, but the boss-employee dynamic was too much of a stretch, at times.

This book broke my heart and mended it too.
Rachel will do anything for her son and I mean anything.
After what her ex-husband did she is the town’s pariah but she can’t go anywhere else coming back isn’t an easy choice but the only one she has.
Gabriel is suffering and his way of letting that out is to be a bit mean. You can’t blame him once you hear his story.
Both these character take their licks and keep on ticking. I liked the tentative friendship they have, the dynamic relationship they build.
This story is made all the better because of the narration man Anna Fields killed it in this book.

This book was infinitely better than its predecessor in the series, thank God.
SEP proves that she has magical storytelling abilities by turning such an antagonistic relationship into a relationship full of love. The dynamic between Gabe and Rachel was so unique and raw and then when you add Edward into the mix ....
I also really loved Ethan and Kristy relationship and would actually have loved to have a whole book dedicated to their changing relationship.

Definitely a book of its time, but still very readable for today. In fact the stars off isn't because it's aged badly, rather because I could not stand the POVs for non-leads, that was frustrating and a genuine struggle to get through.
This book actually handled the dead spouse trope quite well. In fact, it did what many of its contemporaries fail to do today: allow a widower to have loved their first spouse. I'm concurrently reading another romance featuring a widower and he already has postured the heroine as better than his dead wife. It seems so many widow(er) stories have either the co-lead as the greater love or a second best compared to the dead spouse. Dream a Little Dream allowed both past and present/future loves to have equal footing in the widower's heart, which I very much liked to see. Overall, I adored the main romance and whole-heartedly rooted for them all the way through to the end. They deserved their happily ever after.
