You know that feeling when the famous musician you’re totally crushing on shows up at your brother’s wedding dressed as Elvis?
Really? Huh. Guess it’s just me…
Collin West isn’t just hot. And he’s not just ‘the next big thing,’ either. He’s the biggest thing to happen to music since…music. He’s got heart. And soul. And the most adorable ginger hair that’s somehow always a little mussed. … a little mussed. Add in his bangin’ body and bedroom eyes and it’s easy to see why the whole world loves him.
And he wants me.
Harlow Hutton. Not-so-secret lover of all things Collin West. Dreamer of big dreams. Thinker of deep thoughts.
He falls into my life like a fairy tale, whisking me away on a champagne and glitter adventure around the world. London. Paris. Rome. It’s a dream come true…
But every princess has a villain. Throw in some demons from Collin’s past and our dream might actually be a nightmare…
One thing’s for sure, hiding in the swirl of music and passion, is the glimmer of a happily-ever-after bigger than I ever imagined possible.
I only hope we don’t get burned in the process…
This standalone contemporary romance is chock full of heart, soul, and all the feels you’re looking for!

Collin West and Harlow Hutton are a match made in heaven. They just don’t realise it yet. Everyone around them has something to say about them, but can they ignore them all and follow their hearts. Or will it all become too much for them both? Loved this story. This was my first book from this author and I will happily read more from her. Starting with the rest of this series!!
This is the absolute best book I have ever read! From start to finish and a full gambit of every emotion possible, you will be hooked from beginning to end, laughter, tears, you get it all
I read and reviewed this book voluntarily.
This is my favorite in the Hutton Family series, Sorry Lucas and Cat and Eli and Hope. Harlow and Collins story is so beautiful. The way they help each other grow and heal…. And such a good wrap for the series. I love the table….
I would love to see Joe’s story….
This series was so good and this book was the perfect ending.
Beyond Dreams is the final standalone in the Hutton Family series from Abby Brooks and it was definitely a bitter-sweet read for me. I adored Harlow and Collin, but was definitely sad to see this family’s stories come to an end. Even if it was one I loved. Harlow has been one of those background characters I constantly itched to find out more about all throughout her brothers’ books. Abby Brooks did not disappoint when it came to letting us dig deeper into who Harlow is. Beyond Dreams is romantic, exciting, and definitely gave me a bit of a travel bug. In true Abby fashion, she created background characters that helped fill out the story and left me wanting to see Joe and the Brutes get their own love stories. *fingers crossed*
We have gotten to know Harlow the quiet and youngest Hutton over the last 4 books and knew there were sparks between her and Colin after they net for the first time so I was soo excited to know what would happen to them. Harlow had the hardest time growing up as she only saw the mean old man her Dad had become and everything she did appeared to be wrong, she started to flourish after his passing and now she has a chance of getting to know Colin more but Colin’s best friend Joe and Athena his manager are not going to make things easy for either of them. We learn about how their lives growing up were, their fears and hopes as well as how beautifully matched they are, but you are kept on your toes knowing that someone doesn’t want them together and will ty anything to drive a edge between them. As much as I hate this series to end I am so glad it has ended with another fantastic book which wraps up the series perfectly.
I have loved the Hutton family from the start. Jaded and Broken Lucas and Cat with their incredible love story that started with a journal entry. Strong and dependable Wyatt with truckloads of guilt and Kara, Laidback Caleb and his childhood best friend Maisie, and silly Eli and his roommate Hope. There is just so much to love about all these books so I knew I would love Harlow and Collin’s story. I knew it would be great, but I wasn’t ready for this book. It was just everything I expected and so much more. Collin was so much more. Collin and Harlow together were just so much more. I do need Joe’s story though because I think he deserves an HEA too.
You have no idea how much I have wanted to read Harlow story. All of her history and inner turmoil made for an amazing book!
I am so blown away by the final book in The Hutton Family series. The emotion and pain you feel for the characters is just wow. Harlow Hutton is a caring and sweet girl who’s past is a hard one tinged with pain that has scarred her deeply. Collin West is a rockstar who is new to the publics eye and working on making his way in this crazy world. When these to meet you just know that a happily ever after has to happen. But one thing is for sure they will go through some hard times and fake people to get what they both need and deserve. I absolutely loved this book and the whole series and am so sad it had to end but i could not see a better way then how abby wrote it. I 10000% recommend this whole series if you love amazing familys.
I loved this book!! It was so raw, but also so real. It has so many good aspects to it such as it was romantic one minute and then the next it was so real and honest. This book is definitely a great read and I recommend it to everyone who just wants to experience romance and a love that blossoms from the bottom to the top!
I was absolutely blown away!! Beyond Dreams was raw, sexy, and simply stunning. It was hands down my favorite of the series. I am a huge fan of everything Abby writes and this entire series did not disappoint.
Harlow hasn’t had the easiest life but she can’t allow that to rule her life. She was presented with the offer of a lifetime – go on tour with a hot, total delicious, superstar! How can she say no? But as time goes on her fairytale prince may have one too many demons lurking in the shadows. Could they get through this together or would it be too much?
Beyond Dreams is the perfect ending to the Hutton Family Series. The story of Hutton, the only girl in the family, that has had a rough life and battles demons of her own, is powerful, touching and captivating. Collin is the hot musician that is flabbergasted by the beauty that’s Hutton and her musical talent.
Their story is full of ups and downs and struggles as they try to defy their insecurities and while finding love on each other.
Abby Brooks has a talent to make her books so good that you can’t stop reading page after page. Her words are deep and meaningful, that captures your attention and tears your heart at times, while magically putting it back together. Be ready to fall in love with this book. I for sure did.

Having read about all four of her older brothers, it was a joy to read Harlow’s story. Harlow is the youngest sibling of a dysfunctional family. A family that was greatly hurt by the person who should love and protect them the most; their father.
One-by-one, the siblings have healed from past hurts, found their happily ever afters, and built strong, loving relationships. Harlow finds her love in Collin, a musician who also comes from a difficult childhood. Their love story is SO BEAUTIFUL!! They are two, damaged, artistic hearts who find each other and build something wonderful together.
I loved this book so much!! Abby Brooks has a way of making relationships so personal and inspiring. She demonstrates that family is EVERYTHING. The ending of the book, which is the ending of the siblings’ stories, was so heart-lifting I ended it with tears. The Beyond Series was so beautifully written and I feel blessed to have met this family.
This book was every bit as good as the rest of the series! I started it when I went to bed and I couldn’t put it down until it was finished. Collin was so in love with her before even he knew it. Seeing Harlowe come into herself and shake off her Dad’s lingering affects was so uplifting. I loved it!
In true Abby Brooks fashion the reader is taken on an emotional journey that is bigger than life. Traveling on a world tour with music icon Collin West, has made Harlow Hutton stronger in certain ways and weaker in others. Getting over her insecurities about her music ability is a plus but dealing with the constant pressure on Collin to be everything to everyone is not all it’s cracked up to be. But through their music, a true meaning of family and a connection deeper than ever thought possible Collin and Harlow make the perfect couple. With beautifully written charters and a storyline the the reader will not want to put down once again Abby Brooks does not disappoint. I am sorry to see the series end but the last book in the series was definitely the best.
Great story building. Really enjoyed this one.
I have been waiting for Harlow’s story since we met her in Lucas’ book! Abby did not disappoint! This book was everything a conclusion to a series should be. I was sucked in from the first page and crying happy tears by the last!
Another amazing book by Abby! I was so excited to get an ARC of beyond dreams and let me tell you it did not disappoint. Harlow and Collin are perfect for one another and their chemistry from the get go made this book perfect! I sure wish Harlow had a sister for Joe because I so want to know what happens to him. I’m going to cross my fingers that he gets his own book. There isn’t a thing I disliked about this book it just had me craving more!! This has been one of my favorite series!!
Wow!! I’m just so blown away. This book was EVERYTHING I wanted it to be & so much more. Harlow Hutton is a firecracker who tries her hardest to go after what she wants, despite what haunts her from her past. Collin is a rockstar, trying to find balance between being famous & being himself. When the two of them come together SPARKS FLY!! I love that the angst level was on the lower side for this story because I enjoyed watching (reading) the two of them work through their challenges together. This book made me swoon, made me cry, made me laugh, & made me smile so much. I truly didn’t want it to end.
Abby, you NEVER disappoint in your books. This one was another major hit!!
Beyond Dreams, the final book about the Hutton Family, was everything I hoped for and more. The author’s writing is pure poetry as she writes page after page of richly detailed scenery set around their home base in Key West, Florida, as well as when our two lead characters, Harlow Hutton and Collin West, travel the world.
Although Beyond Dreams can be read as a standalone, I strongly encourage you to start at the beginning to learn of this wonderful family’s backstory. They own and operate a resort open to the public affectionately known as the Hut. They have not always had it easy and their pain and triumphs, as well their unwavering support of one another, is evident in every book.
Harlow is the youngest sibling with four older brothers who were raised by a single mom after their alcoholic father left them, then later passed away. Each sibling finds love one at a time and it’s hard to pick a favorite because with no exaggeration, I loved them all!
This is not a cookie cutter series in any way. Each book is so unique, real and honest, and had me laughing, crying, and sighing, as each chapter progressed. Book 1, Beyond Words, featured big brother Lucas, an injured war hero, and Cat. In book 2, Wyatt, who harbored deep secrets, meets his match with Kara in Beyond Love. Book 3 is Caleb and Maisie’s story and when we are first introduced to Collin as she was his manager before resigning to move to Florida to be with her husband. Book 4, Beyond Us, features friends-to-lovers Eli and Hope. Now in book 5, Harlow gets her chance at happiness and I devoured every word, starting from the opening paragraph.
Harlow is a gifted young woman. She loves and appreciates the simple things, and is a talented artist, writer, and musician. But she harbors deep insecurities as she remembers the cruel words of her father growing up and never feels quite good enough to pursue her own dreams. This storyline was personally very moving for me, because I can relate so well. My husband became an alcoholic at the same time he got addicted to pain pills prescribed after a car accident. I am only including this personal note because I truly feel Abby did a wonderful job describing Harlow’s deep-routed pain and how it affected not only her self-esteem but the entire family dynamic. I have three children, and trust me, everything in this story really hit home for me and made me cry more than once.
The beauty of this series is how broken and separated they all were in the beginning and how they all came together in the end. In Harlow’s situation, as soon as she was old enough she moved far away to pursue her passion for the arts, but missed her mom and brothers, and dreamed of what could be. She had maturity and wisdom beyond her years, and such a kind and giving heart that longed to be loved and accepted for who she was.
Harlow first meets Collin and is a bit star-struck at her brother Caleb’s wedding in book 3. Collin recently gained international stardom as a musician, songwriter, and singer, and when he heard Harlow play the guitar and sing, he felt instantly drawn to her. As readers, we knew Abby could never leave our sweet Harlow single, and in Beyond Dreams, she finds true happiness with a man who not only adores her, but one whom she shares a deep emotional and physical connection with, someone who encourages and believes in her.
I so admired and respected both Collin and Harlow. Since Harlow was the youngest of the siblings, her brothers were naturally protective, but when she decided to accept his invitation and go on tour with him, they respected her judgment. They would all be there for her should she ever need them, and with a last goodbye, she left Florida to tour London, Italy, Greece and other fabulous destinations with Collin whom she was so excited to get to know better.
Collin had his own baggage from being raised in foster care, but did have one true friend whom he knew since childhood, Joe, working for him. I loved their dynamic and how they always had each other’s backs, and it showed what a naturally humble, caring and giving person Collin was. It wasn’t easy for Collin and Harper on many occasions, as the world of a famous recording artist had its challenges, namely working with his current manager who was vindictive, self-centered, and mean. Collin always tried to see the best in people, but when it came to liars and malicious behavior, he let them know in no uncertain terms who was the boss!
They took their time getting to know one another, and I loved their character development, friendship, courage, and devotion. He helped build her confidence and by the end, she was a changed woman. She was pure and genuine, and only had his best interest at heart. She helped him come to terms with his own insecurities, and to slow down and enjoy life. These two complimented each other so well and it was beautiful to read.
My favorite chapters were the last few when all of the Huttons and Collin were reminiscing about the past and celebrating at their outdoor family table. Even their mom finds love, and I had a big smile on my face the entire time. Beyond Dreams once more solidified my passion for Abby’s specific style of storytelling. Her books are always filled with deep emotion, intensity, great chemistry and character development, and of course, sexy times!
Absolute magic! Amazing ending that made me cry happy tears. Leaving me knowing that the life of this family will be full of love thru good times and bad. The happily ever after they all dreamed forever. In a world full of chaos, this book was there to help me escape.
Harlow Hutton has had her fair share of pain in her life. But she is the sweetest Hutton. Somewhat delicate, somewhat fragile but she loves fiercely.
Collin West is a superstar. A painful past he is fighting to overcome. Then he finds beautiful Harlow and is flabbergasted. She fills the emptiness in his heart. But being part of his life is difficult.
These characters are just meant to be together but that doesn’t mean life is easy. Harlow joins Collin on tour and the have good times and bad times. People around them try to pull them apart. Together they learn that love is strong, beautiful and precious.
