A Valentine’s Dream – A Curvy Girl Valentine’s Day Romance Amy:February 14th is just another day to me. I don’t really believe in hearts, flowers, romance, or happily-ever-afters. And I certainly don’t think there’s a dream man for a curvy woman like me, even if my little sister had found hers over the holidays. I’m more realistic. Or at least…I was…until I met Levi Gillette during my sister … Gillette during my sister Hayden’s wedding rehearsal dinner The man seems to have an annoying ability to make me lose my cool and calm facade. Yeah, he’s definitely hot, but my sister’s brother-in-law-to-be was also arrogant, infuriating, presumptuous, bossy, and most likely one big player because the man could be charming when he wanted to be.
No thanks! Been there, done that, and I’d had more than enough of men like Levi Gillette. But when I start having amazingly erotic, intimate dreams about him, it’s almost impossible to ignore him in the flesh.
In my dreams, it was like I’d known Levi forever.
But in person, I barely knew him, and he challenges everything I’d ever assumed about myself. We don’t even like each other, yet he feels so…familiar.
Finally, when the lines between dreams and reality start to blur, I have to wonder whether I can trust a guy like Levi with my heart.
I knew he was hiding something. There were things I didn’t know. I could feel it.
So when Levi finally reveals some hidden truths, I’m not sure whether to believe him, or run away as fast as my sneakers can put distance between us.
How can a woman like me, a female who has never had much faith in romantic love , suddenly believe in a A Valentine’s Dream?
Author’s Note: This isn’t your average, sweet Valentine’s romance. It’s an erotic, romantic fantasy sprinkled with some insta-lust/insta-love. But it IS a safe story. Guaranteed HEA, no cheating, and enough sweetness and heat to melt your Valentine’s Day chocolates. If you’re looking for a steamy, fantastical, curvy girl romance….read on. : )

Ah, Levi and Amy. Levi is my favorite type of alpha male, strong, a bit stubborn, but a complete marshmallow on the inside, and he’s just perfect for Amy with her strong exterior working overtime to cover her insecurities. The story is fast-paced and while it seems like things move crazy fast between this pair, there’s so much more to the story – that’s where the bit of the supernatural comes in, which is one of my favorite elements in this book. This one is a good blend of naughty and sweet with some wit and even a hint of danger thrown in. All in all, another engaging and fun romance from this author, and it’s just in time to inspire some Valentine’s Day feels.
Full disclosure: I looked at the calendar today to see if we could be looking for more of this series.
It dawned on me…there are no more brothers…and I don’t think you can sex up many more holidays. Now if Lane Parker wants to make a liar out of me, I am willing to read every attempt!
I LOVE this series. I love the mysterious lover, the unfolding of the truth, the realization that the feelings are real and the puzzle of if they will ever find their way to one another.
Add in the fact that Amy and Levi are brother and sister to Hayden and Jackson from A Christmas Dream…this series and this story were a guaranteed win for me. While I love standalones, I also love stories where I get invested in all of the characters.
I’m not going to give up on other holiday suggestions for Lane Parker…I just got into this series and I am just not ready to see it end! President’s Day, Veteran’s Day, Fourth of July?
Total win for me and I am giving this one 5 stars!
I really fell for A Valentine’s Dream. Amy is something special and I related with that girl on so many levels. Levi had me at hello! I was crushing hard on our hero of the story because of his feelings for Amy. With Amy’s self esteem issues, Levi has to prove that their connection is not just a dream. And boy those dreams are hot and heavy.
I don’t read a lot of paranormal romance. But since this book was written by a favorite author, I thought I should take a chance. I was not disappointed! It works so good with this story. I cannot say it enough, A Valentine’s Dream is a must read!
Amy and Levi burn the sheets, I mean pages. This story was passion filled, lust filled, and lots of bantering. I loved Amy’s character, as most women experience body shame yo some degree, so that made her a believable book character. Levi, as the psychic, alpha male was a different, but pleasant surprise. Levi actually came across as the more vulnerable character because of his abilities and his concern about scaring Amy away from him.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and now I’m purchasing a Christmas Dream to see how Hayden found Jackson and also to provide that little insight to Amy and Levi’s first encounters
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Lane Parker has a knack for writing captivating stories containing humorous moments and enjoyable characters you’ll fall in love with instantly. And A Valentine’s Dream is no exception.
Levi and Amy’s story is as mesmerizing as Jackson and Hayden’s story in A Christmas Dream. This is a sweet and heartfelt romance.

This book was a bit different from this author but it was very interesting and entertaining. Loved the idea of the hero being phsycic. Great romance!

Levi and Amy’s story…..
One thing I can say for sure is the premise of this book is one I haven’t come across before, with the exception of the prior book which is about Amy’s sister Hayden and Levi’s brother Jackson. Unfortunately, I cannot in good conscious explain the premise to you because that would in fact spoil a whole lot of this book for you. I can tell you that dreams do come true.
This book, was an enjoyable read. I liked Levi and Amy, especially watching their relationship grow. While they did have a history of sorts, they definitely needed time to figure out how to move forward. Levi was genuine. He was a gentleman and most importantly, I believed him. As different as the premise is, Levi made me a believer. Amy was a good heroine even though she frustrated me from time to time. That said, I understood her hesitation and wariness in giving her heart to Levi.
A Valentine’s Dream was a sweet and steamy read. The slow burn, scorching chemistry, and intense feelings were believable to me. I really enjoyed this book and I recommend it because not only is it sweet, it’s original.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. 🙂
Levi and Amy have been dreaming of each other and now are making their dreams a reality. Wow loved their story!
Omg, I loved every bit of this story. Amy and Levi was a heartstopping and amazing story. A must read. When u can think a author can’t do better and u find how wrong u was. What’s not to love. I had to reread this once u flinched, yes it’s that good. Thank u for a fabulous story.
This was a very sweet and loving read. Sometimes dreams do come true. Finding the man of your dreams is amazing. This is the story of Amy and her dream man. Can the man in her dreams really be that perfect. Come along this journey as Amy finds love and acceptance. A must read for all book lovers.
A Valentine’s Dream is the sweetest mind trip. Step into a world where love is only a dream away. Parker has found a unique way to show how powerful love truly is. Levi and Amy take readers on an emotional ride that will tempt even the most cynical heart to believe in the impossible. A mesmerizing love story.
I feel like I had a special connection with this book because not only is my name Amy but I am a big girl with a smaller husband. Every time I read a Lane Parker book it just seems to connect to me in ways I have never connected with a book. I feel so honored to be given the chance to read for her and give my honest review!
Amy is so much like me it was a little scary at times but I freaking loved it! I could feel the vulnerability in her sometimes even when she was trying to sound strong. I loved seeing her growth and the connection she has with her sister just makes my heart so giddy and loved!
Levi actually won me over quite early and even though Amy was in denial, I could feel the pull to him. I lost count at how many times I swooned and cried and got all hot and bothered but it was completely sexy to read this story!! Levi is an inspiring man to read about and a freaking gentleman you don’t see that often anymore, even in books!
Congrats on writing another best seller and I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!! Each book just gets better and better no matter the topics!!! I love that my name is in this book and I can’t wait to own my own paperback!!
I am loving these new stories from Author Lane Parker (AKA Author J.S. Scott). What I am loving about these books is that they are naughtier and steamier than her Author J.S. Scott books but still have the polished writing, clever dialogue and entertaining storyline.
A Valentine’s Dream, like it’s predecessor, A Christmas Dream, tells the story of Amy and Levi. Two seemingly unlikely characters who go from opposites to explosive attraction in the most ingenious of ways. I really can’t divulge much about the plot because I feel I will be giving away a very important and clever element of this story but all I can say is I can’t wait to go to sleep and dream tonight (hey one can only hope LOL).
Highly addictive and the perfect romance to celebrate this special date.
5 STARS and a MUST READ recommendation from (Isa) Jo&Isalovebooks Blog.
*CAUTION* has adult content and situations
Amy is the chubby daughter of a supermodel. Amy has been ridiculed by her mother because of her weight for as long as she can remember. Relationships usually don’t go well for Amy because she is always very defensive and her self esteem isn’t so good.
Levi owns engineering firm and is a total alpha male. Levi is slightly different and has decided his new sister-in-law will be his new wife.
I think what I like most about this is the paranormal aspect, it’s there but doesn’t dominate the story.
This is a well written, romance with a HEA.
This is a hot, sexy read with a bit of a twist. I loved Levi because he was so confident about what he wanted and what he was going to do about it. Amy had issues because of a mother who “tore” her down all her life but when she meets Levi he helps her see what a beautiful and strong person she really is. We meet this couple in A Christmas Dream and I’m excited that they have their own story.
“A Valentine’s Dream” by Lane Parker and J.S. Scott is a fantastic read. I loved Amy and Levi’s story. This is a great follow up to Hayden and Jackson’s story, “A Christmas Dream”. This story has romance, passion, entertaining characters, family, and more. I hope we’ll see more of these characters in the future. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, holidays, and family.
What would you do if your dreams became reality? What if the one man that infuriated you turned out to be the man you’ve been dreaming about. When Amy realized that she’d been having dreams about Levi for most of her life she didn’t know what to think or how to feel about it. But when your wildest fantasy is right in front of you in real life how can you not indulge. Dreams do come true, they just take time.
Levi was my kind of man
Dreaming of soulmates
Never experiencing love from her parents, Amy does not believe in hearts, flowers, romance, or happily-ever-afters, even if, during the night, in her sleep, she dreams of meeting the perfect man.
Years later she meets Levi, her sister’s brother-in-law. She finds him arrogant, infuriating, presumptuous, and bossy and yet, there seems to be something familiar about him she at first could not place. Lines are crossed when she she realizes that he was the man in her dreams.
With Levi’s persistence, Amy begins to accept that maybe, just maybe, her dreams of finder her happily ever after may in fact be a reality, after all.
This is the story of Amy, Hayden’s sister (A Christmas Dream). A little more fast-paced than Hayden’s story, this one is no less a joy to read, as we see two characters do their best to trust that what they felt for each other in their dreams was real. Plus, I loved how they kept on pushing and pulling against each other, there were times when I wanted to say enough already and get on with it!
Lane Parker (J.S. Scott) gave us another five star read, as always, but I have to ask–is there a book in the future for Amy’s friend Demi, and Mac, Levi’s friend? Keeping my fingers crossed!
I’ve heard people say that you never get to know another person fully. But what happens if you share everything with someone in your dreams. A special friend since you where a kid that has helped you in the worst moments of your life and has share the best and most important ones. You tell this special friend everything and think it is your imaginary, dream friend, someone that you will never meet in real life.
Amy believes that her dream are produced by the loneliness she feels now that her sister is about to get married to the man of her actual dreams. Her mysterious dream visitor is an enigma for her and she can’t explain why or how this is happening to her. But these dreams are about to get very interesting and real. Levi shares a psychic connection with his brother and has always believed that the girl of his life is the girl that has been in his dreams since he was a little kid, but after so many years is beginning to think that she might just be a dream. When Amy and Levi meet in real life, there are doubts and hopes that they are sharing the dreams of each other. The road to discover the truth is sweet, passionate, frustrating, hot, and very funny. The perfect love story where you know so deeply the other person that when you actually meet you feel extremely at home, safe, simply complete. Great story from Lane Parker, can’t wait to read more form her.
Levi and Amy are burning up the pages of A Valentine’s dream. It doesn’t matter if they are together or apart their relationship is on fire and this steamy romance may require a nice glass of ice water to cool you off when things get a little warm.
Super fun to read and a good way to warm up and get the blood pumping on a cold winter’s day.
