Dreams of 18

Violet Moore is in love with a man who hates her. Well, to be fair, she kinda deserves it. On her eighteenth birthday, she got drunk and threw herself at him, causing a huge scandal in their sleepy suburban town. Now everyone thinks she’s a slut and he has disappeared. Rumor has it that he’s been living up in the mountains of Colorado, all alone and in isolation. But Violet is going to make it right. She’s going to find him and bring him back. No matter how cruel and mean he is, how much he hurts her with his cold-hearted and abrasive ways, she won’t give up. And neither will she think about his tempting lips or his sculpted muscles or his strong hands. The hands that she wants on her body, touching her, feeling her skin… The hands that make her want to forget everything and kiss Graham Edwards – Mr. Edwards, actually – again. Because you don’t go around kissing your best friend’s dad, do you? Even though that’s all you ever dream about. NOTE: A STANDALONE novel set in the world of Heartstone. KEYWORDS: Forbidden romance, age gap romance, older man younger woman romance, best friend's dad romance, angsty romance, opposites attract romance, grumpy hero sunshine heroine romance, enemies to lovers romance, alpha male romance

3.5 stars. I was initially attracted to this book because of the best friend’s dad thing. While that is strictly true, it’s not really a theme of the book. This reads more like your typical age-gap romance. To start, I really liked Violet. I thought she was cute and quirky but as the book wore on, the more i found her to be immature. I didn’t really like Graham. I’m not entirely sure why. I think because he never really lets his feelings for Violet show, even though everything he does is for her. To be honest, I liked Brian a lot more than his dad. This was an okay book. Not as incredible as the recent best friend’s dad books I’ve read lately, but it’s not terrible either.

3.5 Dreamy ⭐️ • Please check trigger warnings • panic disorder, anxiety, panic attacks, graphic sexual scenes • age-gap romance I enjoyed this, really. It was sweeet in many ways. I loved Violet’s character, she was amusing and sweet with her headphones and journals and dancing and books. I loved that she dug deep into her feelings for Graham and realised she has the strength to do so much better, to be brave. Graham was cool. I’ve always loved partners with a protective streak especially if they’re older too. I loved that it took Violet to walk into his life like a storm and change him for the better. I love that he tried for her. What bothered me: - I really wished Violet would’ve realised her strength herself , that if didn’t take Graham to push her. (That’s just me 🤷🏻‍♀️) - The lack of diversity As a whole, I really liked this book. It explored some serious topics but not too dark, in a light hearted and understandable manner. I loved the romance and I loved Graham and Violet <3
