Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the arc copy of this book. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

When professional hockey player Sig Gauthier's old truck breaks down at a fancy country club, the last thing he anticipated was meeting his dream girl inside, Chloe Clifford, a harp prodigy from a wealthy family. Sig and Chloe share the dreamiest first kiss on the golf course and then go their separate ways, both having separate dinners to get to. Or so they think. Two hours later, Sig shows up to his father's dinner to meet his father's new girlfriend, only to discover Chloe is the new girlfriend's daughter. Their parents are actually engaged to be married in 8 months, making Sig and Chloe soon to be step siblings. Yikes.

On a whim, Chloe decides to get out from under her mother's thumb and go with Sig back to Boston to pursue a music career. Chloe's mother is very upset and cuts off Chloe's allowance, leaving her dependent on Sig. Sig gladly puts her up in a nice apartment and shows her how to be independent. Over the next six months, their feelings deepen as they spend every available moment together. Despite their best attempts, soon everyone around them, including the public, is questioning the nature of their relationship. When an article comes out suggesting they are romantically involved as step siblings, the consequences are extreme for both parties.

Tessa named this book perfectly, there is so much drama and angst. Just when you think it's over, she throws in a wild twist. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though at times Sig was a bit cringey with his possessiveness. Chloe's character development was great, and I enjoyed the dual POV to get both sides of the story., It is book three in the Big Shots series, but is perfectly fine to be read as a standalone. I would definitely read it again and purchase a physical copy for my shelf.

I've been so excited for Chloe and Sig's story since it was teased in the previous book and I was absolutely not disappointed. The tension in this story was out of this world. I love how we get their meet cute and then the fallout from realizing that they are future stepsiblings. I can't say I've read a contemporary romance where I was as worried about them being doomed as this one. You really felt the stakes here and I loved how much YEARNING there was here. They don't even really touch until over half way through and the forbidden slant to their romance is delicious. Stig is on the precipice of being named captain and having that captain's salary as well. And Chloe is on her own and finally being pushed to reach her potential for the first time. Both of their dreams are at stake if anyone catches wind of their attraction. Sig is so attentive to Chloe and I love how them being forced to not be together leads to them becoming even better friends before they finally give in.

Bailey writes a very particular type of man and I understand that it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Sometimes these very possessive men rake on me but for this book it was exactly what I needed. The tension with Sig and Chloe and just how much they genuinely care about each other was so nice. Chloe has been sheltered her whole life and Sig wants to take care of her and although I do wish Chloe grew a little more living by herself, it was nice to see how much Sig thought about her. This was just a very fun, sexy romance with a lot of potential spin offs too for the Bailey extended universe and I am absolutely along for the ride.

Thank you so much to Avon and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

"You aren't in charge of my love life" "I am your love life, Chloe" ❤️🏒

Happy Release Day Tessa Bailey! I've been looking forward to Chloe and Sig's book since we got a glimpse to their relationship in The Au Pair Affrair and it did not disappoint.

What would you do if you meet your soul mate only to realize hours later that you are going to be future step siblings!! 😳 Chloe and Sig's meet cute at the country club was definitely pure INSTA LOVE! Once their parents announced that they getting married, they both had to put their feelings aside and try to co-exist without crossing the line.

Chloe has been sheltered by her mom her whole life. A harp player prodigy, she takes Sig's advice and stands up for herself, moving to Boston near him to follow her dream to join the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Sig shows her how to take the subway, be independent and not to spend all her money in Sephora shop sprees (guess he failed there 😅). Sig is a hockey player for the Bearcats team. He is really adamant to find a way to be with Chloe and works really hard to provide for her. The angst in this book is off the charts. They are the epitome of the opposites attract trope, but he would do anything for this dream girl.

This was such a fun read and glad we got a cute HEA after everything they had to go through to be together! ❤️ Thank you to Avon & Harper Voyager and Netgalley for the ARC.

✨✨Onto the review✨✨
As always thank you to the NetGalley gods for blessing me with such a wonderful arc!
Before this I had only read Tessa Bailey’s novellas and I knew she was good but I was not prepared for this book! I know this is a third book in the series, but I believe they are interconnected standalones and that is a guess because I haven’t read the other two and could comprehend things perfectly fine! I think this book would be great if you are looking to get into sports romances, I think this is a safe little book pool to dip your toes in.
The way Tessa Bailey writes pinning in this novel had me REELING. I could go on forever about how much of a perfect specimen Sig Gauthier (MMC) is! The mouth on that man 😩 and the way he loves Chloe(FMC)?! UGH -chefs kiss- He literally drives 187 miles just to get Chloe her favorite shirt to perform in because she left it at her mothers house AND he buys all the strawberry poptarts within a 10 mile radius of her apartment so he has a reason to visit her and bring her, her favorite breakfast food🥲
Chloe gives off the vibes of Alexis from Schitts Creek and I love her so much! She has never had to learn how to take care of herself like a real adult because she is a nepo baby and grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth but she is entirely too eager to learn how to be an adult. I love her enthusiasm to learn in this book!
The two characters meet in the most interesting way, while on his was to dinner with his dad, Tristan’s truck breaks down outside a country club and while trying to schmooze his way in, Chloe comes up behind him and claims he’s her guest. They end up spending a few hours together and sparks immediately fly, they both have to cut things off and go they’re separate ways because they have previous engagements to see to, they later run back into each other when they learn their parents are getting married?! This definitely puts a wrench into things because they can’t possibly date now that they’re about to be step siblings it would make them a social pariah.
This book has just the perfect amount of drama, and comedy and a little bit of spice peppered in! If you’re looking for a fun sports romance you should give this book a read! Dream girl Drama releases today on Amazon!

This book was one of my most anticipated rom-coms of the year, and while it mostly delivers, it doesn’t quite live up to all the hype. The premise had me hooked from the start, and the dynamic between the two leads, Sid and Chloe, is absolutely delightful. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their witty banter is on point—there are definitely some laugh-out-loud moments that had me grinning from ear to ear.

That said, the pacing felt a bit slow in parts, especially in the middle. There were times when the story seemed to drag, and I found myself wishing the plot would pick up a bit more. While I understand the need for character development, there were moments when it felt like things were stalling, making it harder to stay fully engaged.

What Tessa Bailey does incredibly well, though, is capturing the emotional highs and lows of romance in a relatable, heartwarming way. The third act conflict had me feeling all the feels, and the resolution was satisfying, if a bit predictable.

All in all, it’s a charming read with a few bumps along the way. It didn’t quite live up to my lofty expectations, but it’s still a solid, fun rom-com. 4 stars

One thing about me is: if Tessa writes it, I’m going to read it! She has a signature style that is guaranteed to make me laugh and blush, and she writes men who are so down bad for their girls!

Dream Girl Drama didn’t end up being my favorite of hers, but I’ve seen so much positive hype coming from other early reviews that I might be in the minority! I think I just prefer when the MCs wrestle with their feelings a bit longer to get me more emotionally invested!

I can definitely see Tessa setting up more books in this series, and as always I will 100% be on board when they arrived!

Sig hasn’t had it easy in life. But with hard work he’s gotten to the top of professional hockey. Just don’t ask him to get a new truck. Chole has had it easy…in some ways. She was a music prodigy with family money who hasn’t been challenged in years, except for her challenging relationship with her controlling mother.

Let me tell you, when these two people meet, there is something that HAPPENS. To them. Within them. Within ME. They are Meant To Be. Sig can tell she’s important to him just by the sound of her voice when she saves him from the country club employee who won’t let him in to charge his phone.

Ms. Bailey writes, in the very first chapter, “Somehow, he knew that she wasn’t a choice.”

And, “Is it very forward and extremely soon if I say I’m attracted to you?’ She whispered. ‘I’m only pissed I didn’t get to say it first.’” This man is obsessed with Chole from go. And BOOM, I’m obsessed with Sig.

But they have a problem. After their epic meet cute, they find out Chole’s mother and Sig’s estranged father are engaged to be married and they will be stepsiblings forthwith, and won’t they be the Best Man and Maid of Honor? Oh, hell no.

Sig then shows everyone that he is the best man for Chole. Even if she’s about to be his stepsister.

It is a wild ride, and I loved every minute of it.

Oh my gosh. This book was so good!!! I loved everything about it- it's fun, romantic, hot, and full of humor! A good classic Tessa Bailey read. I had been so excited for Sig and Chloe's story since we really got to meet them in Au Pair Affair. I was very curious how the soon-to-be stepsiblings story would play out, and I was not at all disappointed. 

To start - the meet-cute was so fun- I'm not always a fan of insta-love tropes when you don’t also get the later character and plot development that shows they have a real and believable connection with each other.
But I could buy into the bond/chemistry between these two after the short time they knew each other and with how their relationship developed together. Then of course comes trouble when they realize their parents are getting married and they are about to be step-siblings. 

After that just seeing how Sig supported Chloe and helped her be more independent was so fun. He was down bad for her and I loved every second of it.  He truly only wanted what was best for her and she wanted the same for him, even if it meant they couldn't be together. 

And oh man, the tension between these two while they tried to stay away since they'd soon be family. There was so much tension, when we first met them in the Au Pair Affair we start to get a little hint of the tension between these two, but it ramps up by like 10,000 in this book. I could not wait for them to finally give in and it was beautiful. 

Overall I really enjoyed this book and getting to see Sig and Chloe get their happy ending in such a fun way. I hope we get to see more of the Bearcats in the future!

Such a fun book, forbidden is a trope that always gets me so I knew that I was in for a good time! We meet Sig and Chloe in The Au Pair Affair and all we know is that they are soon to be step siblings who have an extremely close relationship. I could not wait to read this book and learn about all the details of their relationship.

Sig and Chloe have a chance meeting and end up spending some time together. Their flirty banter and chemistry are off the charts, and they immediately know that there is something special between them until they later learn that they are about to become step siblings.

I loved how protective Sig was over Chloe and how he encouraged her to get some independence and follow her dreams. I really enjoyed seeing her explore her musical abilities and finally grow and do something for herself that she wanted to do.

There was so much drama in the last quarter of this book as everything started to come to a head. Sig and Chloe start getting really tired of hiding their relationship and things really start to blow up around them. I couldn’t put the book down until I figured out how everything was going to work out for them.

This whole series has been so fun, and I loved catching up with Burgess and Tallulah. It was fun too to meet some new athletes who will be part of the next book in this series. I can’t wait for it!

Thank you so much Netgalley, Avon Books, and Tessa Bailey for the ARC!

I ate this up too fast to call it anything other than 5 stars. No, it's not Bailey's best work, but I love a hero who is so gone for his girl, and we get page after page of this man being smitten. It’s spicy, unhinged fun with lots of forbidden tension, and I think the story will be best enjoyed by those who have been following the series. This couple falls in undeniable love at first sight, so their journey to happily ever after follows such a unique path. I liked the unpredictability of it, as well as the refreshingly different pacing. They have fantastic chemistry and I loved our hero’s determination to find a way to be together. He never wavers in his adoration of his girl, and that made for a swoony, sexy, and bingeable read. I devoured it.

The story follows Chloe and Sig, two people who take one look at each other and just know that they’re meant to be. They have the kind of instant connection that’s rare and special, which makes it even more devastating when they discover that they can never be together. Their parents are getting married to each other, and neither Chloe nor Sig’s career will allow them to enter into a romantic relationship with their step-sibling. They haven’t known each other long and the connection should be easy to ignore, but that is simply not the case. As Sig and Chloe navigate their complex relationship, they do their best to avoid crossing any forbidden lines.

This book is getting some mixed responses, and I will acknowledge that I can see why. We really don’t see Chloe and Sig fall in love, they simply are. It’s instantaneous. So it’s much more a story about them trying to stay apart, despite knowing without a doubt that they’re soulmates. Sure, I would’ve enjoyed more time focused on their early days, but I also really liked what we got. Sig is the most smitten of smitten men, absolutely down bad for his girl. Chloe has him wrapped around her little finger, and she’s not even trying. He loves her chaotic side and treats her like a princess, while also holding back his caveman instincts around her. We get some of Bailey’s signature spice once they start crossing lines, and the forbidden element ratchets up the tension. All that combines into the type of story that is incredibly easy to binge, which is exactly what I did. I’m looking forward to the future love stories that were teased in this, and I had fun the whole way through.

Tessa Bailey has done it again. I absolutely adore each and every one of her books and this was no exception. Sig and Chloe’s story made me cry multiple times and I loved the resolution

3.5/5
When I saw this book was going to be released, I knew I had to read it. Fangirl Down (book 1 in this series) is one of my favorite books by Tessa Bailey and I’m so fortunate that I got this ARC.

I enjoyed this book. Right away we’re introduced to Sig and Chloe and it’s love at first sight for them. Sig was such a sweetheart to Chloe from the very beginning. I loved how he showed her how to be more independent with tasks she never had to worry about before. I understood his love for her and the need to keep her safe, however, I felt like he took on too much with his role to protect her and support her financially.

I liked Chloe and how she stuck to her decision about wanting to be independent. We do get to see her grow and become more independent as time goes on. She makes decisions that she knows are the best for her and Sig and thinks for herself. I felt like that was a little slow throughout the book and I wish we could’ve seen it sooner.

As I read, I could feel the chemistry and the tension between these two. I could see that they really did love and care for each other. I did feel like the middle of the book, while having super cute moments between the two, was a little slow. Overall I did enjoy this book.

Thank you Tessa Bailey, Avon and Harper Voyager and NetGalley for the ARC for an honest review!

Dream Girl Drama releases TODAY! 🎉

“And so, Sig climbed the same mental mountain he climbed after every game. He scaled the sides of it until he reached the plateau, also known as his personal purgatory. The place where he couldn’t have Chloe, but he couldn’t for the life of him stay away from her, either. Not for a single day.”

What if you meet the girl of your dreams on your way to meet your estranged dad for dinner, just to find out when you arrive that not only is your dad getting married, its to the mother of your dream girl?! 😭 You’re a pro-hockey player and she’s a musical prodigy, so you don’t exactly live under the radar and the scandal of a step-sibling relationship could cost you your contract and her career. So what now? 🤔

This story was by far the most interesting relationship of the three in this series. It’s worth a read!

I’m loving this series by Tessa Bailey! I loved all the tension and angst between Sig & Chloe. Their chemistry was off the charts, and the spice was spicing. However, I just didn’t feel like main conflict was an issue, and the FMC wasn’t my favorite with her being kinda useless, so I guess that’s what made it fall a little flat for me. I will absolutely continue reading the series though. No one writes spice quite like her.

So this book absolutely surprised me! When I found out it was an almost step-siblings, forbidden/taboo romance…I was a bit hesitant. BUT in Tessa Bailey we trust, and thank goodness I did. I really enjoyed Sig and Chloe’s story. There was lust and yearning and so much love between these two, how could you not root for them?? Like so many of her MMCs, Sig is overprotective as hell, but for some reason, I didn’t mind it as much as I did in Au Pair Affair. Maybe cause the age gap wasn’t a prominent trope here?

No spoilers, but definitely didn’t see the ending resolution coming and I’m super satisfied with how she wrapped up the storyline!

If you’re looking for a solid palate cleanser and a fun/slightly taboo romance, look no further!

Also, the next book sounds fantastic (once you meet the couple, you’ll see why) and I can’t wait to read it soon!

❤️Dream Girl Drama
🏒by Tessa Bailey
❤️ available TOMORROW, February 4th!

Wow wow WOW! 😍 I knew from the beginning that I was going to love this book but I didn’t expect to love it even more as I continued!!!

🎵Chloe Clifford is somewhat of a harp prodigy (I play 7 different instruments so I really loved this detail!) who also just happens to be quite high society. Don’t let the status fool you though, she might be a tad bit spoiled but she’s such a lovable FMC who’s trying to find her place in the world. 💫

🏒Sig. I have no words. This MAN!!! 🥵 an MMC who had me falling so quick! Sig is a professional hockey player who has a chance encounter with none other than Chloe Clifford, while enjoying a night out on the town! 🤭

🎵After a quick (and passionate) interaction, Sig and Chloe have to hit pause as they both have to leave to attend their prior meetings. Only problem? It doesn’t take long to reunite once again when they both arrive at the same place! 🤭 not only were they attending the same dinner, they get the news that they’re parents are getting married which would undoubtedly make them future step siblings!

🏒This book had it all!! Lovable characters, dysfunctional family, forbidden love and a MMC with lines so good that he had me highlighting constantly! 😍😩🥵 I loved this read so so much and can’t wait to get a physical copy to add to my shelves!

🏒Getting to ARC read this for the phenomenal Tessa Bailey has been one of my biggest highlights yet!! 🥹🩷

🎵Thank you so much to NetGalley, Avon Books and Harper Voyager for providing me with this ARC for my honest review! 🫶🏻

Tessa Bailey is one of my favorites, and this continues to be my favorite series of hers to date!

What I liked about this book:
1. I love the step-sibling trope! Usually, I like when the two step-siblings grow up together, but this one was fun because they met first without knowing who the other was, had an instalust connection that was fantastic and ON POINT, and then they discovered they were going to be related by marriage. It was hilarious yet DEVASTATING because their connection was so palpable!

2. I loved that Sig made Chloe feel safe and supported in a way she never had. Literally any time she ran into an issue she just knew that Sig would know how to fix it. She had so much faith in him and his support for her, and it was so emotionally satisfying to see her feel supported for once.

3. For being a “socialite” she was incredibly lonely and didn’t know how to take care of herself, but it didn’t come across as “I’m rich, I don’t need to know how to do that.” She really wanted to know how to do things! And I loved that about her. She didn’t want to fall back on her comfortable but restrictive life! She wanted to try hard and accomplish something for herself instead of having things handed to her and that was incredibly brave of her.

4. Tessa slowly showed us just how alone his whole life Sig had been. From a father that abandoned him to his mother who was never around because she was working to provide for him, but also didn’t have heart to heart conversations with him when she was around, this man had been through a very non-supportive life. So of course when this ray of sunshine and supportive woman comes along, he can’t help himself but want her and want to provide for her in every way possible. I loved this so much about him and how he had complete faith that Chloe would rise to the occasion if only given the right level of support.

5. Tessa just writes these big bears of men who are dirty but also respectful and that’s the perfect formula for me.

6. It was delicious, spicy goodness, as per usual for a Tessa Bailey book.

7. Loved the cameos of Tallulah and Burgess from book 2!

8. I liked how I didn’t expect the twist but it made sense and I loved it!

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon, and Tessa Bailey for the opportunity to read this book. The thoughts and opinions expressed above are honest and my own.

I LOVE SIG GAUTHIER! I could just stop right there and let that one sentence be the review. Period. But I’ll tell you a bit more about why I love this book so dang much… Tessa Bailey writes such REAL characters. Sig, a big ol’ pro hockey player, comes from a less than stellar background. He meets his “dream girl” absolutely by chance and they’re absolutely enthralled with each other. Little do they know, they’re about to become step-siblings. The way TB wrote this step-sibling romance is PERFECT! Sig ADORES Chloe. I just want to give him a big hug. He’s just THAT precious. So thankful to Net Galley for the ARC opportunity. This is a MUST READ!

Rating this book a 3/5

There were some parts I truly enjoyed! I'm a sucker for the whole "spoilt girl learns to make it on her own" trope and I loved seeing Chloe grow throughout the book. I also felt like the forbidden romance was handled well and I really liked the twist at the end. However, I wasn't a big fan of the spiciness. I loved the build-up and chemistry but when we finally got to the spicy scenes I felt myself cringing and skipping pages.
