I’m back in one of my favourite places Sweetbriar Cove and as with all of the previous books in this series I was taken to my happy place this time with Declan and Paige. This may be book 7 in the series but I do believe this could be read as a stand-alone but I would put money on once you have read one of this series you will want to read all the others.
Paige needs to start her life over and after a near death experience she quits her job and takes herself off to the Cape where she decides to start her own business. Paige has always been a good girl but a meeting with bad boy chef Declan James makes her throw caution to the wind but will Declan want to tame his ways and settle down ………
They may be perfect for each other but they both have their future planned and it’s not in the same direction will one of them be prepared to give up their plans. Once again Melody Grace gives a book that captivates and draws you in and there is no stopping until you have read the final line. I didn’t realise how much I had missed the residents of Sweetbriar until I picked up Wildest Dreams.

Wildest Dreams by Melody Grace is one of my top five favorite reads so far this year! It has hot as fuck chemistry and ‘can I slap you’ moments.
Paige was content to spend her life adventureless until two near death experiences. The first one caused to her kiss a man she did not know and the second to uproot her life and move.
Declan is not one for relationships or staying in one place for too long. Declan is advised to stay away from Paige but we all know what happens when someone is told what to do.
Paige and Declan have so much chemistry is it frustrating at first because they beat around the bush –so to speak. When they do finally hit it off, it was wow. I won’t lie, they do get their heads up their butts for a moment but hey, once you start reading you will see why.
Honestly, I think you will fall in love with these two characters and how amazing they are. I wish their story did not end here because I would love to read more of these two.
Paige is a good girl… well, woman. Thirty is mighty close for her to be a girl anymore. She has always blended into the background and lived her life without making waves. Besides her mother hounding her about finding a man and getting married, she lives a pleasant life. But what about her dreams of owning a lingerie shop? Showcasing her own designs? Could she possibly take the leap and quit her steady income job to fulfill her dream?
Declan is that playboy, woman loving chef who loves creating dishes with complex flavors. His women all are uncomplicated and superficial encounters. No complexity or commitment there! He wants to remain a “rolling stone” free to move when the urge hits him. No complications other than to pack his bag.
Our characters are two opposites attracted to each other but who know their goals in life do not match. Paige wants a family of her own, kids and white picket fence included. Declan is happy with his cooking while seeking fame as the best chef around. For him, nothing is permanent in life so why try to make anything last forever?
The Sweetbriar Cove series is an off the charts romantic journey. Unlikely characters meet in this wonderful coastal town only to find the charm of a life full of the love and warmth only that special someone can bring. It is time to slow down and smell the ocean air!
I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
What a cute story! This book reminds me of a lifetime or a Hallmark movie, which I do love. The story was well written and flowed perfectly. There are not many books that I can read in a day…but this one I could not put down.
My favorite stories are always the ones that where opposites attract and this certainly happens with these characters. Declan James is a risk taker and wants nothing more than his restaurant and women and he wants to steer clear of any kind of commitment what so ever. Paige Bennett is the total opposite, she is the farthest from a risk taker than anyone around. She has been hounded from her family about her age and a family. When she runs into Declan at a town function and those sparks come flying she is ready to do what she needs.
I have read a couple of books by Melody Grace and have come to love her writing style and have enjoyed all of them. Wildest Dreams is her seventh book in The Sweetbriar Cove Series and can be read as a standalone. I for one am looking forward to more of Melody’s books.
“One, everything tastes better with butter. Two, life was too short for cheap whiskey. And three, good girls were off limits.”
There’s nothing better than hearing that one of your go-to authors has a surprise book release. For me, the Sweetbriar Cove Series is just like coming home. The story-lines are sweet and satisfying. The characters are easy to connect with and they make you feel like you’ve known them forever….
Wildest Dreams follows the story of Declan and Paige. Paige is tired of her boring, plain life. She’s ready for change. She no longer wants to be the good girl and is ready for some adventure….Declan is an amazing chef and loves the life that he lives. As long as he abides by his three rules to life, he couldn’t be happier. That is until Paige enters the picture. Paige is everything he shouldn’t want, but can’t stay away from. She makes him yearn for a life he’s never wanted. Will Declan take a chance on a love he never saw coming or will he let fear ruin the best thing that’s ever happened to him?? There’s only one way to find out…
Wildest Dreams is the 7th book in the Briarcove Series. I do believe that you could read and enjoy it as a stand-alone novel, however if you’re new to this series be aware that there will be spoilers.
I was hooked on Paige and Declan from the very first page. These two characters intrigued me and just had me begging to learn more about them. I loved the banter between the two of them. The sparks between the two of them were instant and I couldn’t get enough of it. On the surface, Paige and Declan couldn’t be more opposite. She is the good girl who doesn’t take risks. She’s not impulsive and feels like her life is just plain boring. And then there’s Declan. He’s the total bad boy. He’s successful and a total player. Even though these two are opposites, the pull is too hard to deny. They challenge one another and bring out things in each other that they never saw coming. Just being together makes Paige and Declan envision a future they never saw coming….
The road to happily ever after for Paige and Declan wasn’t all hearts and flowers. There were some definite bumps along the way. And those bumps just made me fall harder for these two characters. Would they fight? Would they take a chance on their love? Could they live a life with so much regret? So many questions that I just couldn’t wait to find out the answers to.
Wildest Dreams is the perfect addition to the Sweetbriar Cove Series and is an excellent beach read. This book fun and entertaining with just the right amount of angst, sexiness and swoon-worthy romance. Declan and Paige’s story left with me with all the feels and butterflies in my stomach. Wildest Dreams is a terrific read to spend your day getting lost in and promises a swoon-worthy good time.
I just want to move to Sweetbriar Cove!
