Sunny Shelly’s Review: Stolen Dreams by Natasha Madison

STOLEN DREAMS by Natasha Madison is AVAILABLE NOW!

Blurb:

Lilah

I was left for dead when I was eighteen.

Coming to Mustang Creek Ranch gave me something to live for.

My boss is grumpy and reclusive.

But I’m secretly in love with him, even though he’s made it known he’ll never settle down.

Even though he’s made it clear, he’ll never be mine-or anyone’s.

Emmett

I’ve kept my distance from Lilah for years. No matter how much I want her, she’s off-limits.

The only family I will ever have are the ones I fought beside in battle-the family I chose.

Until the phone rang and I found out I had an eight-year-old daughter.

Watching Lilah with my daughter makes me wonder what it would be like to do the thing I swore I never would: have a family and fall in love.

When I move her into my house to keep her safe from the dangers of her past, all bets are off.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

Another great book from Natasha Madison in the Dreams series. Emmett and Lilah’s story was a wonderful secret crush, grumpy single dad romance.

I always enjoy it when a broken hero who thinks he has nothing to offer turns out to be super swoony and considerate, surprising himself… and that is exactly what happened with Emmett. Through Lilah’s bond with his daughter Lucy, both Emmett and Lucy bloomed. The progression from mutual pining to something so much deeper developed naturally, and I enjoyed seeing these characters come together.

There’s an element of suspense with Lilah’s stalker, which leads Emmett to finally get out of his own way and realize that his desire to be with her outweighs his fears that he could never be enough for her. The healing that these two broken souls find in one another was lovely.

There was one thing that left me a bit disappointed however and unsettled by the time I got to the end of the book. I felt like the reasons behind Lilah’s accident all those years ago weren’t fully explained. There were a few toss-away mentions, but the *why* of it all could have used a better explanation, in my opinion.

Overall, this did not disappoint as a grumpy single dad romance! 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…
