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.

Excerpt:
“I didn’t mean to drag you away from Kimberly. You two seemed to be hitting it off.” He didn’t pull his hand away from her face, struck by the tinge of something in her voice. Jealousy? And if so, why did it please him that she cared? “Kimberly was like a leech who wouldn’t let go. She even used her sick brother’s story to hang on to me. I wasn’t doing anything more than offering sympathy,” he said, opting for the truth. Andi blinked, unmistakable relief in her pretty brown eyes. “Really?” “Did it bother you when you thought I was into her?” he heard himself asking, knowing he hadn’t planned to go down this road, but the attraction between them was a real, tangible thing. His fingers itched to run through her thick, wavy hair, and he couldn’t tear his gaze from her glossed lips as she ran her tongue nervously over them. Not to mention the energy it took not to look down at her full breasts beneath the jersey. “Would it upset you if I said it did? That watching you with her stirred up feelings that took me by surprise?” “I shouldn’t want you, Andi. You hurt me. Took a fucking knife to my heart. But that was in the past. And what’s going on now between us is the present.” Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, the past alive despite them both wanting to put it behind them. But everything inside him was pulled toward her now, drawn to her fragile strength and beauty. He dipped his head and pressed his mouth to hers. Warm and giving, her soft lips moved beneath his. His hand slid around her jaw, tilting her head, giving him better access as his tongue delved into her mouth and tangled with hers. Finally, finally, finally, finally. His heart beat out the word in rapid rhythm, a long-held desire coming true as her kiss turned him inside out. He explored the deep recesses of her mouth, tasting her essence, aware of his body’s reaction, the swell of his cock behind his jeans, the spike in adrenaline, the racing of his pulse. Despite the pain, the anger, the hurt, this was the girl of his dreams and she was in his arms, eagerly accepting his kiss. He slid his hand into her hair, grasping the thick strands between his fingers and tugging as the kiss turned hotter and he backed her against the vanity, his waist flush against hers, his hard erection cradled between her thighs. His cock throbbed with unappeased need, desire flowing between them. Until a hard knock sounded on the door, startling them into breaking apart. She looked at him, wide-eyed, the surprise etched in her face as strong as the shock rippling through him. “Be right out,” he called to the person on the other side of the door. He glanced at Andi, her face now flushed a bright red. “There’s no way to avoid walking out together, is there?” she asked. “Whether you go first or last, whoever it is heard my voice.” Her blush deepened. “Well, then here’s to giving them something more to talk about.”




Book 4 and the final book in the Rosewood Bay Series, am I sad to see this series come to an end yes but the best was left for last. I loved this series but something about this couple hooked me and drew me in and I found myself throughout the book wishing and hoping for the HEA they both deserved.
Andi and Kyle were best friends once but she broke his heart and that had him leaving town and making a new life for himself never did he expect to be back in Rosewoid Bay let alone teaching Andi’s son. Andi knows she has made mistakes and is trying to get her life back on track but will Kyle ever listen to why she sent him away and more to the point will he be man enough to not take it out on her son......this story intrigued me I was captivated from the first page and couldn’t put it down until I had read the very last line. This book has it all characters with a sizzling chemistry if they can just past the past, friends to enemies to lovers and then there is Nicky ((Andi’s son) who is so loveable. It was great to catch up with characters from the previous books without them taking over the story, loved this series loved this book and now I’m waiting to see where we go next with the very talented Carly Phillips.




I was a little sad to start reading this story knowing that it was the fourth and final book in the series. However I knew that it would be an unforgettable story and Carly Phillips did not disappoint. I thoroughly enjoy Ms. Phillips writing style and Dream is no exception; her characters are strong and easy to relate too and I particularly liked how she built the story up. It was also nice to catch up on the previous three couples and see what is happening in their lives and it was heart warming to watch the love and relationships that they share as they all came together to support Andi, her son Nicky and Kyle. Although a stand alone, I do think you would enjoy reading Dream more if you were to read the previous books in the series.  

Andi Harmon and Kyle Davenport were best friends, although Andi had no idea of Kyle's true feelings for her. She made her choice, it wasn’t Kyle and this shattered him so he moved away. Fast forward a few years and Andi comes face to face with Kyle again when he returns to Rosewood Bay to teach. Andi has regretted the choices she made for years, with an ex husband who has caused her nothing but grief.

Now that Kyle is back they have no choice but to face each other as he is Nicky’s new teacher. For Kyle it is a constant reminder of what he lost but Andi is determined to make up for the past.  When Kyle recognises that Nicky has an issue with reading he offers to help and slowly but surely they begin to come to terms with the past.

The chemistry between Andi and Kyle was intense, their story real, as they struggled to overcome the challenges life has thrown them and the hurts of the past. 

I really felt for Kyle, it was obvious that he was really struggling with his feelings , particularly as he learns of the abusive relationship that Andi escaped from. It is obvious that Kyle and Andi have feelings for each other but now that her abusive ex has also returned to town, what will happen? Will they move forward or will their fledgling relationship be doomed to fail ?

One click now and find out. This was a great conclusion to what has been a fabulous series from Carly Phillips.
