Dream. Another great one by Ms. Phillips! I love all her characters, especially Andi, Kyle and Nicky in this book. She makes them come alive in my mind. It’s a quick read but has a lot of tension and love. Nicky, her son, was such a great addition to this story to help bring the characters together again. It’s a great second chance book is the series that should not be missed. I loved reading about the characters getting the happy ending they truly deserved. Her ex was horrible and I was more than happy that he got what he deserved. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Wonderful Story!!!. The Rosewood Bay series of books comes to an end with Dream, which is Andrea Harmon's story. Andi has been a part of the series from the very first book as her brother Kane married Halley Ward. I was so excited to finally get Andi's story and even move so to find out it would be a second chance romance. We had never actually known all the details of Andi's first marriage, but it had been implied her ex-husband was an abusive individual. I knew Andi was a strong woman, after seeing her stand up to her dad and his gambling, work 2 jobs to pay her bills, and raise her son Nicky with no help from his dad. I love she puts her son Nicky first always and while she still has some help from her dad and brother, she really has done it pretty much all on her own since her divorce. There was just something about Andi I loved from the very first time we met her in Fearless, and I only loved her more after reading Dream. When Kyle Davenport returns to town to teach at the elementary school, his only concern is running in to his once best friend Andrea Harmon. Of course the fact that her son is in his classroom means it is a given, and he is still very bitter about how she broke off their friendship all those years ago. Andi had no idea that Kyle had feelings that went belong friendship as he never made a move all those years ago. Especially once Andi was dating her now ex-husband Billy. I loved watching them reconnect as friends first before moving into a romantic relationship. Part of what I loved about Kyle and Andi together was the fact they were once again friends first. They had an undeniable chemistry that was strong from the moment they first saw each other again. I loved they really couldn't keep their hands off each other once they shared their initial kiss. They were so good together and I absolutely loved they included Nicky in so many of their outings. Kyle never questioned that Nicky would always come first for Andi, and I really loved that he seemed to fall in love with Nicky right along with Andi. I also loved that Kyle accepted that Andi was strong enough to handle anything that came along in her life, including dealing with her ex. I could tell it was killing him not to step up and protect Andi and Nicky, but I fell just a little be more in love with Kyle when he stood up for Andi's right to take care of the situation her way. Dream was the perfect wrap up to the amazing Rosewood Bay series from Carly Phillips. We got to spend time with each of the characters from the first 3 books, as everyone is family, and saw where each were now in their lives. I love revisiting favorite characters from a series and finding out what has happened since their story ended. While Dream was Andi and Kyle's story, it was fun to see each of the Ward sisters and where they were now. Dream was another emotional, sexy, and beautiful romance. I highly recommend Dream and the entire Rosewood Bay series to lovers of contemporary romances. Rating: 5 Stars (A+) Review copy provided by publisher

Dream by Carly Phillips. Review by Christine Jalili. I loved this book and was hooked by page one. Andi and Kyle has been best friends and she broke his heart. She didn’t know how he felt about her, can they have a second Chance? He’s so good with her son and melted my heart. Stayed on edge, what will her ex-husband do? You’ll have to get the book to find out more. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and I highly recommend this book.

Awesome Conclusion.... This is the conclusion of the Rosewood Bay series. It’s been a beautiful visit and Carly did not disappoint us. Dream is the story of Kyle and Andi. Andi and Kyle were best friends growing up. They were inseparable until Andi fell for the bad boy! Kyle couldn’t work up the nerve to admit his feelings, Andi fell for the jock and Kyle was heartbroken. If only Andi had seen how her life would play out, she would have stayed away. After an abusive marriage and ugly divorce, Kyle is back in town and Andi is ready for a friend. But Kyle can’t quite get past the hurt of losing his best friend and isn’t ready for another shot to his heart. Of course it is a HEA and we get to see some of the other couples we’ve gotten to know in Rosewood Bay. Beautiful series!!!

Heartwarming and emotional. This was such a great story. So many emotions and real life drama. Andi was married to an abusive man. She dealt with physical, mental and emotional abuse while trying to protect her child from the same abuse. Two years ago she finally had enough and left. Although she had a family nearby, she never relied on them for any kind of support during this time. Her ex alienated her from all of her friends so when she finally regained her independence she was a loner. She feared getting into another relationship. This is so common in real life abuse situations. I felt the author portrayed this very well and realistic. Now, her best friend is back in town. Originally he wants nothing to do with her personally, but his feelings change the more time they spend together. Although it kills him to go slow and be cautious, he does and is. He knows he has to if they are ever to have a chance at a relationship that is more than friendship. I found this book very heartwarming and emotional to see them both grow, as individuals and as a couple. Her struggling with her fears and her need for independence while accepting that it's ok to ask for help and share the burden. Him with accepting her need for independence and proving that she can do anything but yet providing needed support.

Love a strong female lead!. 4.5 Stars This is book 4 in the Rosewood Bay series and it features Andi and Kyle. The pieces are finally starting to fit together for this family. Andi is great and I love how strong she is after leaving her abusive marriage. How great is it to be able to reconnect with your best friend after so many years apart! Kyle is amazing. These two are so great together. In the beginning I did have a hard time seeing the love between them. It felt a little robotic to me but that didn’t last long. Their relationship is a very mature one, not only because she is so focused on her independence that there’s little time for fun but because she's always looking for signs of him being like her ex. I have loved my time spent in Rosewood Bay with the fabulous story line and the amazing characters. I look forward to the next adventure with this author.

A+++. Andrea Harmon, better known as Andi to friends and family is a single mom raising her son, Nicky after her abusive now ex-husband took off with some rich tourist. Kyle Davenport has loved Andi for many years. They were best friends from childhood. It wasn't until high school when Andi caught the attention of Billy Gray that Kyle was exiled from her life. 10 years later Kyle returns to Rosewood Bay to be near his family. He's teaching fourth grade and low and behold one of his students happens to be Andi's son. After the way things ended during high school, awkward is an understatement. But as a dedicated teacher, his students always come first and he can be a professional when he has to deal with Andi. Andi has spent the years hiding from friends, family and relationships due to the nature of her marriage. Billy made her push people away. She chose not to have girlfriends so she didn't have to answer questions about the bruises. When Billy left her the last thing on her mind was another man. It's not until Kyle re appears in her life that she feels any spark. Can years of hurt and distance bring these two former best friends back together? And is Billy really the kind to let someone else claim "his wife?" One more show down will be on the horizon before Andi can tell Kyle how she really feels. Carly always gives us the best of her. You can tell she took the time and energy and put it into Dream. I loved Andi's story

Great end to a great series!. What a great way to wrap up the Rosewood Bay series. Ever since meeting Andi in book 1, I wanted her to get her happily ever after and we finally got it! Kyle was her best friend all throughout her life, but choices and actions tore them apart. Watching them find their way back together was sweet, fun, romantic and sexy. Kyle will make you swoon and melt your heart. It's a great read that I recommend! Happy reading! :)

Feel good read!!!. This was such a great story of second chance love! Teenage love that was fostered in difficult times. Phoebe struggles with how to tell Jake about his son while the love they shared blooms again. Jake has worked hard to be a productive successful father when he sees his one true love. Phoebe struggles to drop her walls and let Jake in. This is a great feel good story!!!!

A must read!!. What a fantastic ending to this series!! It had the perfect amount of suspense to it, and had me sucked in the entire time. I loved Kyle and Andi together, and how Kyle knew exactly what Andi needed to completely heal. I would definitely one click this!

Dreamie. This was an absolutely wonderful read from the very talented Carly Phillips. Andi was trying to live her life and become stronger, when her childhood best friend Kyle comes back in to her life. Andi has to deal with her past decisions. I love second chance romances and this was was not a disappointment. This was a great evening to this series.

Good second chance romance. I really enjoyed Andi and Kyle's second chance at romance. When Andi pushed her best friend Kyle away all those years ago, she broke her own heart as well as his. Now that he's back in town, she'd love to have him back in her life, but will he be willing to let her back in? This was a great story of childhood best friends reconnecting. Kyle is able to pursue his feelings with Andi this time around and Andi feels things for Kyle she had never felt before. We get to catch up with the rest of the crew from this series as well which is fun since this is the last book of the series. The story was good I just wish it might have been a little longer. I feel like I really could have fallen more in love with these characters with a little more development. It was a really good read though and I'll be sad that we won't return to Rosewood Bay.

Another emotional visit to Rosewood Bay. This is the most emotional of the Rosewood Bay stories, in my opinion. A physically abused wife and mother finds the strength to leave that relationship. After what she feels is a reflection of her poor judge of character, Andi doesn’t trust herself to make good choices in relationships. As a single mother she is focused on her child, not herself. When her childhood best friend and someone she rudely shoved out of her life returns home to Rosewood Bay, she is surprised to find out he is her son’s teacher. Can they be civil? Friends? Or maybe there is more chemistry than they once believed. Some pretty intense encounters leave them both questioning what is happening between them. Carly Phillips writes some of the most dynamic and realistic characters. They are not perfect and some have some pretty bad traits. Strong family ties remind us that we can love the people in our family even if we do not agree with the way they live their life. I enjoy reading books in a series for many reasons. One of them is getting caught up with other characters from earlier stories. Thank you for the updates on the sisters and their families.

Great series. A terrific ending to a wonderful series! Great writing, fabulous characters and sweet romance. After Andi was forced to end her relationship with Kyle in high school they are finally back in the same place, Rosewood Bay. Andi is overcoming a bad marriage and making a new life for her son who lands in Kyle’s classroom. They are such a sweet and sexy couple. But can she trust again and have a future with Kyle? He thinks so and plans on winning her over. A fantastic read! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Loved!. What a great story! I was so hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t get enough! This was a sweet, once were best friends turned lovers. After some bad mistakes in Andi’s life, she is trying to change that. Kyle Davenport returns to his home town for a job and Andi’s son just so happens to be his student. The storyline is great and intriguing. Andi and Kyle have this wonderful connection and add in Nicky the love able kid. Loved seeing all the other characters from the other books in the series as well. I’m so glad Andi got her HEA after all! Loved this book!

A fantastic series. An absolutely fabulous book. We have seen three sisters reunited in the first three books. This one iS about Andi, Kanes sister. After hurting her best friend, Kyle, because of her husband and the suffering she suffered in the abusive marriage, she finally steps away and divorces him. 2 years later she is back in her home town with her son. But she still misses Kyle. Kyle is back in town to be with his mum but he is still hurt and upset over Andi because he didn’t get to tell her how he felt about her. He soon realised that Andi’s son is in his class and he tries his best to stay away. As their feelings grow towards one another, she realises her ex is back on the scene and uses threats to get his way. When her son goes missing she has to put pride aside and seek help from family to finally rid herself of the ex. Will Kyle be willing to step up and help? Will they be able to find her son in time? A great read from the start and a book I was waiting to read. I am sad that it’s the last in the series but I have enjoyed the whole 4 books immensely. Well done Carly on another great series.

Last visit to Rosewood Bay.. I was so happy when I heard that Andi was getting a book of her own as she certainly deserved a happily ever after. I was so glad to get the chance to read her story after meeting her in Fearless. This was a fast, steamy story of best friends losing touch then reconnecting years later. Andi is a strong woman determined to make it on her own after what her ex put her and her son through, she doesn’t need rescuing, she’s the saviour in her world, no one else gets that job. Just ask Nicky. But when Kyle tumbles back into her life, it’s hard to ignore the boy she once held close to her heart. Kyle though, he’s still a little bitter over how she chose another man over him. Even if Andi was unaware of his feelings. But from the moment they reconnect, it’s clear they have chemistry and it’s not something either of them are prepared for. I liked how the story played out. It was sweet and sexy with an underlying hint of suspense thanks to Andi’s ex. I also enjoyed the chance to hear more about the other three couples from the previous books. A nice ending to a lovely series. Sad to see it go.

absolutely fantastic. intense and beautiful

Brilliant addition to this great series. 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.

Carly Phillips never disappoints. Andrea is a fighter. She learned to love herself again and fought for a better life for herself and her son. Kyle has been in love with Andi since childhood. He is a strong character who allows Andi to support herself and fight her own battles, with his support. I love the suspense and romance Carly puts into her stories. They are filled with well developed characters and amazing plot twists.

A fitting conclusion to the series. 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.
