Sunny Shelly’s Review: Buried Dreams by Natasha Madison

BURIED DREAMS by Natasha Madison is AVAILABLE NOW

Blurb:

Everleigh

One night changed my whole life.

After the truth about that night came out, I left, taking my broken heart with me.

I knew the past was waiting to slice me open again.

But I was left with no choice but to go back.

Feelings and old emotions are like dandelions; no matter how many times you pull them out or try to get rid of them, they refuse to go away.

And he was that for me.

My everything until he was my nothing.

Brock

My father taught me about honor and integrity.

And in one split second, I ruined it all.

I lost the only dream I ever had and everything I ever wanted.

But I had no choice.

I tried to move on with my life.

I put all my focus on my daughter, never expecting to see the one woman I’d loved and lost.

They say time heals old wounds.

They were wrong.

Scars left from the past are easy to reopen.

I just hope I can survive the pain all over again.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Buried Dreams is #3 in the Dream series, which follows a group of friends whose lives were forever changed by a horrendous car accident. This story follows Everleigh and Brock, who split up shortly after the accident nine years ago. When Everleigh’s mom, town baker Maddie, has a heart attack, Everleigh comes back home to help with the bakery… and faces Brock again for the first time since she walked out on him after he made a really bad decision.

There is a lot of anger on both sides — Everleigh hasn’t been able to forgive or get over the decision Brock made all those years ago with Waylon’s family. Meanwhile, Brock knew Everleigh wouldn’t be happy with his decision, but he was hoping she would see that he was caught in between a rock and a hard place and did what he did to salvage their future. Now, they are both dealing with nine years of heartbreak and anger, unresolved questions… and the fact that Brock has a darling little girl that was the result of a one-night stand he had while trying to dull the pain of losing Everleigh.

Talk about a fine line between love and hate… Buried Dreams has some really spicy hate sex before Brock and Everleigh hash out the past and admit that they are both still desperately in love with one another. I thought those conversations were handled well, and I appreciated how honest they were with one another. Of course, there was still the lingering question of whether Everleigh would return to her life in Chicago once her mom recovered…. but this book has a HEA (and a great bonus epilogue), so rest assured that things all work out the way they should! Once they moved forward as a couple, I thought things were handled well with Brock’s daughter, Saige.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.

Meet Natasha Madison:

When her nose isn’t buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she’s in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It’s a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn’t listen to her…
