The characters are relatable and it’s a fun quick read full of laughter and fun. Looking forward to reading more books like this.
I loved this book! It is very different from the MC books she writes, but the style that makes those so good, shines through in this one! It is funny and entertaining. A great read to lift your spirits, especially in the times we are going through. Read it-you won’t be disappointed!
Dream Lover was a fun change from the books I have read of Ryan Michele. This book had some hilarious parts and angst. Quinn has to go to Vegas for a week of couples games. This was because her brother was getting married to a bridezilla. Quinn was single, enter the sneaky bestie, who sets Quinn up for the week with her brother. Quinn and Conner had known each other all of their lives. Quinn was Conner’s little sister’s bestie. The two had to overcome being connected through siblings, to being friends, and then to dare to become lovers.
This was nothing like I have ever read from Ryan before and it was truly amazing. I couldnt get enough the words flowed so well and the story really came to life. Easy to read pages made for a fun read. The characters dont get me started still had an alpha and still made my jaw drop with the easy banter between them Quinn is by far my fav lady ever written this year. I loved the whole vegas thing and then falling more in love. So completely different for a love story its a must read!!!
Oh my…. I just loved Connor and Quinn. They had it all going on. Intense chemistry, all out passion and humour. They really were made for each other. I loved the plot.. Childhood friends put in a situation where they are fake lovers only to find out they both have feelings for each other and they both pussyfoot around the fact. I was really frustrated with Quinns brother Drew… I just wanted him to grow a pair when it came to the witch(his fiancee) she really did take the biscuit.. what an awful waste of a human… and when he did finally grow a pair I did cheer I really did I was like finally! I loved Quinns best friend who just happens to be Conners sister and I cant wait to see what is in store for her and Drew as their connection is just as explosive. Looking forward to reading the next book./
This book was so much fun to read! I loved the antics in Vegas.
I fell in love with this book! I am rereading it now!
I’ve have been a fan of Ryan Michele since I read Ravage Me. I’m a die hard Ravage MC girl, but I fall in love with every world of Ryan’s that I read. This book was no exception I loved the way Connor and Quinn were. I can’t wait for the next book in this series. Quinn and Carrie have an amazing friendship as well.
This is a sweet, funny, sexy, best friend’s brother romance. I am so used to this author writing in the MC genre so this story was an unexpected surprise. The main crux of the story is Quinn needs a date to her brothers bachelor/bachelorette party being held for couples only in Las Vegas. Being a singleton Quinn starts to panic, how is she going to find a partner on such short notice so as her “bridezilla” sister-in-law to be cannot do what she really wants and torment her the whole time. Enter her best friend to save the day by getting her brother Conner to stand in.
This book is filled with intoxicating chemistry. It is light hearted, fun and flirty. These characters, because they had such a rich background and so much history fell instantly into ease with each other and soon “fake” becomes “reality”. I suppose it helps when you are actually the others secret crush.
Sassy, sexy and self-assured heroine meets confident, handsome and swoon worthy hero, what could go wrong? xox
Loving this new series from Ryan! I’m so used to Ryan’s MC series that I was really excited to get something new and different from her. Quinn has been obsessed with her best friend’s older brother since she was a kid, but has been resigned that they will never be together. Thankfully, her best friend has a trick up her sleeve, utilizing it in the perfect time where Quinn’s brother is getting married and they go on a joint bachelor/bachelorette party together in Vegas. Connor has always had a crush on his best friend’s little sister, but never acted on it out of fear of what would happen to his friendship. He gets the perfect opportunity to shoot his shot during the weekend, and he does everything he can to win Quinn’s heart. I loved the different situations this couple got into, and I loved that Quinn was fiercely protective of her brother, especially when he breaks things off before his wedding. Loved this book and I can’t wait to see who’s next (hopefully Quinn’s brother and her best friend)!!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Love Quinn and Connors amazing beautiful emotional arrangement grabbed my heart ready for more
Love friends to lovers romances add to it “Fake” Boyfriend and I am fascinated.
Dream Lover is such a great read. Sweet and Sexy!
Conner and Quinn are such a passionate couple. Their connection is instant mostly because they’ve been secretly into eachother for years and when they finally get together…it’s SMOKING HOT!
I love the characters. All of them, even the ones I was like “Eww…I am not a fan of you”. There are some characters that I am still wondering what is to become of them. *…In other words, what happens in Vegas better not stay in Vegas I need to know..*
I really enjoyed Dream Lover. It’s a fun story with some super sweet moments that kept me smiling until the end and to be totally honest when the backstory is just as intriguing as the main storyline you know you are reading a good book.
Best Friend to the Rescue
Who could have guessed the outcome of the co-bachelor/bachelorette celebration in Vegas was going to turn out like it did?
Ryan Michele did it again, this is another stay up all night reads. I loved how I was able to get engrossed in the book and now want to come up for air.
It is a must read if you like books with twist and turns along with ups and downs.
Quinn trust her best friend Carrie, when she is in a panic because she is single and needs to have a plus 1 to attend or the evil soon to be sister-in-law will appoint one.
In comes Conner, the brother’s best friend to the rescue… or is he.
The pull of the characters is always a plus for me when I’m reading a book… and I love it when the characters background is presented in the story.
Join Quinn and Conner on their quest to HEA. Feel the joy and heartbreak and live in the characters.
Quinn’s brother is getting married to a real bridezilla. They decide to have a weeklong co-batchelor/bachelorette party in Las Vehas before the wedding. Now to find a date.
Quinn’s best friend arranges for her brother, Conner, who has always been around and Quinn has been secretly crushing on him for years to be her date. Let the games begin!
I really enjoyed this spicey romance and loved the best friend’s brother to lover ending! Entertaining and memorable characters with HEA. I highly recommend this book!
This is the first book in this new series from Ryan Michele and what a fantastic start it is. This is different to her normal genre’s but she has done an amazing job with it. Its well written and flows well. Its fun, filled with humour and you will really be captivated from beginning to end.
I loved Quinn and Connor. The chemistry between them was off the charts hot. I loved her sass and she is amazingly loyal. Connor is the perfect blend of sweet mixed with alpha that will make you swoon. I loved watching how their friendship, then relationship played out.
Looking forward to seeing what Ryan Michele brings us next in this series
Let me start by saying that I wanted to hit Rebecca every time she spoke. I could never imagine a sibling willing to marry someone who could treat their brother/sister like total sh*t. Plus, Drew wasn’t even allowed to have his best friend in his bridal party! As ridiculous as the bachelor/bachelorette party was, I really enjoyed the connection between Quinn and Conner. It drove me crazy how much they both wanted each other but neither of them wanted to be first to give into their desire. That first kiss was hot and that couples massage…WOW! When they finally got together it was intense. While we got a small story of their life once they returned home, I did feel the rest of the relationship was rushed. Other then that, good story.
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me.
This book started out awesome. It had me laughing. A Lot.
I really like Quinn. I wish she hadn’t held her tongue with Becky so much. But she did because she loves her brother.
Becky deserved more than the small tongue lashing Quinn gave her at the end.
I absolutely loved the week in Vegas. All the competitions, and what they were.
Conor was great, while in Vegas.
After Vegas was done, the story seemed rushed to me. I didn’t like Conor as much.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s an enjoyable read.
I give this a 3.5
“The most important thing in life is not knowing everything…It’s having the phone number of someone who does.”
100% of the charts! I wish you could rate it for more than 5 Stars because this is definitely worth more!! Friends to Lovers makes a great storyline but when you have been childhood friends and them reconnect as adults just makes it sweeter.
Ryan has changed up from what she typically writes and it was absolutely amazing!! Can’t wait to see what comes next!!
I received this book as an ARC copy for a voluntarily honest review.
A sexy refreshing read that gives you a fun flirty feel. It’s an awesome read one where you are drawn in from the first page. Connor is so dang swoon worthy hot. Quinn is feisty, beautiful inside and out. He comes to her rescue when she needs him. Pretending to be her lover. Love the characters. Their chemistry is off the charts. They just mesh as friends and as a couple.
This book is a complete 180 from her normal genre of the MC world but she still writes a gripping story! Its a quick, sweet read within the brothers best friend, forbidden romance world. Almost everyone knows at least one bridezilla in their life but this bridezilla took the cake! Instead of a night of debauchery, its a week of “couples challenges” in Los Vegas. All of the bridesmaids are in a relationship, except the token bridesmaid, the grooms sister Quinn. In comes Conner to save the day, er week that is.
I love how Quinn was willing to do anything to keep her brother happy but I hated how he allowed his fiance to try to walk all over Quinn. Not to mention, she purposely leaves out his best friend. Conner, being the good person he is, doesn’t push the issue but does take a step back, until Quinn needs him. He takes this chance to finally get what hes always wanted, Quinn. They blow the competitions out of the water and in the mean time, find that their attraction to each other is mutual. All of these leads to what we all want, the happily ever after!
