He has a good life, good job, two daughters he’d do anything for, and a beautiful home on the beach.Greer Monroe is grieving the loss of her father. It’s the final rung on the broken ladder that’s become her life—crappy job, … that’s become her life—crappy job, no friends, and a cheating ex-boyfriend. At the insistence of her aunt, Greer decides to spend some time at her family’s beach house.
When the glee-filled sound of children’s laughter dances through the breeze, Greer finds herself smiling again. The neighbor girls are carefree, depicting a life Greer has only dreamed about. Husband, children, happiness—a family. And their father, Darren, he’s everything a woman could ever want.
But it is, of course, only a dream.
She can’t stay at Carolina Beach, no matter how much she adores Darren and his daughters. She has responsibilities at home, a mother who needs her. Where there’s love, there’s heartbreak, and she can’t go through that again. And she sure as hell won’t do that to those little girls.
But Darren isn’t letting her go that easily. It’s been so long since he’s felt this way for anyone. Greer is his missing piece, a piece he never thought he’d find.
Saying goodbye is hard, but sometimes starting over is even harder.
Only when they dare to dream again, will they ever dare to love.

I listened to the audible version of this story and the narrator did a fantastic job. This was a steamy, sweet and funny romance story with a little bit of drama from Greer’s ex Tucker. Greer and Darren have things in common, when it comes to the loss of someone they loved and they are both trying to move and deal with it in their own way. I enjoyed the characters in this story a lot. I thought this story would have a more slow-burn feel to it, but the author did a great job with the instant chemistry between Greer and Darren. Vivian and Violet were absolutely adorable and there’s no way to not fall in love with them. I look forward to more books from this author.
I absolutely love C.A Harms and her writing. I fell in love with her books along time ago and have not had the chance to read another one until now. So glad I got the chance to read this book. It is simply amazing. So very well written with amazing characters that have amazing chemistry. This one pulled at the heart strings and made me believe in that fairy tale happy ever after but that is what made this book absolutely amazing.
Our girl Greer has the worst day of her life. Right off the bat she suffers something that no person should. Nope I wont tell you. But I will tell you that right off the bat I was in tears reading about what happens. Then to make her day even worse her so called best friend/boyfriend does the unspeakable. Instead of being there for her during this very tragic time he is only thinking about himself. I wanted to reach in and punch him honestly. After dealing with everything that has happened in her life and not dealing with it very well her aunt suggests she get away and take some time to herself. Little does she know this trip is going to change her life for the better and help her heal in so many ways.
Two little girls who could easily make the bad good and a drop dead want to not let go sexy male.Really can I have them as my neighbors? Darren lost his wife after his second daughter was born unexpectedly.He has dealt with it after some time and bad moments but never believed he would ever fall again. He always believed that it would be him and his girls from then on. Well fate has thrown him a sexy neighbor that needs someone strong like him to help her through getting on with her life.
This story was amazing so very well written . I loved the moments with the crazy grandmother that helped to add needed humor to this story. This book makes you believe that no matter what happens in your life if you believe and deal with the tragic moments that amazing is on the other end of the tragic. I loved that no matter what was thrown at Darren and Greer they never gave up on what was right in front of them. They had a very strong spark right from the beginning and I loved that that was built on and that the girls were a very strong part of that build.
Another amazing book by C.A Harms. I highly highly recommend reading this book not only because it is a very well written enjoyable book but because it will have you believing that you can get through tragic moments and find that happiness you deserve on the other side. I am so hoping there is more in this series would love to read about Dean Darren’s brother. I give this 10 stars not 5. This was just an amazing story.
I love CA Harms’s writing and I really loved this sweet romance. It’s so beautifully written. The main characters, Greer and Darren are great together, and the little ones, Vivian and Violet, are so cute and sweet! I love the Epilogue and the Bonus! The narration was really well done. Lilian Yves has a sweet and beautiful voice, easy to listen. This was a fun and sweet listen, sometimes heartbreaking, but really heartwarming. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
are to Dream is a very cute, sweet, and heartfelt read. Its definitely for those who love sweet romances. I really liked both the main characters Darren and Greer. They are both suffering from loses, Greer recently lost her father and Darren lost his wife leaving him with his two daughters. Greer heads to Carolina Beach to get away and she meets Darren. She loves watching him with play with his daughters and the girls are the sweetest little things. I really liked how their relationship slowly progressed. They were both holding back a little, but it clear to each of them that they were falling for the other. I really liked these two and HEA was bittersweet.
For this to be my first read by C.A. Harms I was very pleased with this one. I really like her writing and if your need of a sweet romance her books are definitely for you.
Wow! A really amazing story. Beautifully written by C.A. Harms and brilliantly narrated by Lilian Yves.
I loved the vibes given off by Darren and Greer and his gentle yet firm handling of her, driving away her fears and supporting her so that their love had a chance. I also loved the way Greer took to his little girls. It was such a natural action on her behalf and very endearing.
Those two little girls of his were just the cutest little things.
The story is told alternately by Darren and Greer and I found it very interesting to find out what was going on from each of their viewpoints.
There were moments when I actually cried and others when I laughed like crazy and I am quite happy to recommend this book and the audiobook as I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the clever narrating of it.
I listened to the audiobook version and my unbiased review as above is given voluntarily.
