A spicy small-town, brother’s best friend, sports romance “packed with sizzling tension, heat, and sweet, swoon-worthy moments” (Peyton Corinne, author of TikTok sensation Unsteady) between a college football coach and the one that got away that you’ll want to devour in one sitting.
If he can prove he loved her then, and he loves her still, this time might be different.
Ten years after one of the most heartbreaking nights of her life, Melody Woods is back in her small hometown of Oakwood Bay, broke, jaded, and unceremoniously dumped by her big-city boyfriend. To top it all off, her twin brother, Parker, is pushing her to take his spot on a camping trip with the one guy she’s spent a decade avoiding.
For college football coach Zac Porter, his best friend’s twin sister, Melody, has always been off-limits. And after fumbling his chance ten years ago, a devastated Zac was sure he’d lost Melody for good. So, when Melody shows up at the campsite instead of Parker, Zac realizes that now is the time to prove to her that they were always meant to be, no matter how long it takes to make up for his teenage self’s mistake.
Reeling from the truth of her last relationship, Melody plans to stay in town just long enough to get back on her feet. Then, she’s gone again. Meanwhile, Zac is facing an uphill battle to coach his team to its first winning game in years, to show Melody how she deserves to be loved, and to keep Parker from ever finding out. Maybe then, being with her will be more than just a dream.
Why did I add Only in Your Dreams to my bookshelf?
I am a sucker for a good hockey romance, so I grabbed this book when I had the chance. Unfortunately, this is another book that came out while I was under doctor’s orders to avoid reading, so I just didn’t get to it. The reviews look pretty good, so I hope to give it a try sometime soon.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
That’s a new to me one. I never realized how many sport romances there were! Hope you get to read this one soon and love it!
I’m not familiar with this but I hope you enjoy it whenever you get to it.
I don’t know this one but I’ve been reading more UF, mystery, and romantic suspense than contemporary romance.
I haven’t read this one.
I’ve had this one on my own TBR list but have not gotten around to reading it yet. I think it sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
