Only in Your Dreams is the story of Melody and Zac. After a night of misunderstandings in high school, Zac and Melody share a crush that they never got the chance to act on. Now, Melody has been dumped and is back in her hometown. Zac is now working as a football coach and is stunned to see Melody back in town. Is this the second chance that they never had in high school?
Only in Your Dreams is a sweet and overall lighthearted read. Zac and Melody have great chemistry. I love how Zac was always very careful to never repeat the manipulative actions of Melody’s ex. The forced proximity in the camping scene was amazing! The surrounding cast of characters was great and I’m hoping we get a chance to read their stories later in the series. It did sort of irritate me how much Zac held fast to the rule from Parker about Melody, but I was still able to enjoy the story. Readers who enjoy a hero who is absolutely down bad for the heroine, second chances, and the highs and lows of football will enjoy Only in Your Dreams.
