Summary
Overall- This is a book with four totally separate stories. I do not recommend purchasing unless you enjoy a large variety of genres. A couple of the stories were sweet and one was just crude in my opinion. Dream a Little Dream is a short novella about finding what really matters when your life flashes before your eyes. Ian saves Melissa from a fire. She realizes how much she really cares about him and is willing to take the risk. I totally did not like this story and did not even see the purpose of the story. The excessive use of crude and foul language for no apparent reason was also distracting. I will not be reading anymore books by this author. And if I heard the phrase ‘my man’ one more time I was going to scream. Maryanne gets stranded with her son and ends up in Daniel’s barn. My other favorite story was Dinah and Lincoln. She is a professional organized hired by his mom to organize their home. He is extremely messy and sparks fly. They actually get to know each other in her daily visits to the house as she is working. Ilene and Jared are cute together even if totally unrealistic.
Violence
Language - The second book had an excessive amount of bad language including the F word. A couple other stories had minor profanity.
Sexual- Story 2, 4 and 5 had physical scenes with varying degrees of detail.
Drug & Alcohol- I cannot recall any drinking
