Review Detail

Dreams by Michelle Lynn

The Story:
Taylor lost herself when the boy she loved died, and years later she cannot seem to return to life, or enjoyment. When she meets Josh, a professional hockey player, he stirs feelings she thought withered and dead. Can Josh mend her shattered heart? Especially when they each hide something from the other?

The characters:
We meet a broken-hearted Taylor in chapter one. There is good depth to her backstory. Her journey throughout the story is gradual, authentic, and thought out in great detail.
Josh is not a typical hockey player. Through his sport we experience the full complexities of his personality and hardships.
The main protagonists compliment and challenge each other, the reader roots for them from the outset. The sweet-frustration of the characters not recognizing this themselves builds through the piece, yet the Author does not let the frustration reach dire levels.

The World:
This Author is known for her hockey-world romances; and the sport is integral to the characters and plot. Lovers of the sport will be impressed with the authenticity of this novel, and fans of Ms Michelle Lynn’s other hockey romances; Choices and Promises, can be assured of an action-packed novel written from a fresh aspect of the hockey world.

The Readability:
The information we’re given is clear. The writing style is light and engaging. Professionally edited and suitable for 15 years +.

Final Verdict:
Dreams is an easy-to-read young adult romance.
