Description
Nicole Garrett, a self-proclaimed nerd, has had her future planned out for years. Taking chances has never appealed to her on any level, but growing up means adapting to change and accepting that life moves on no matter what. With her best friends, Piper and Stephanie both starting families of their own, Nicole finds herself concentrating harder on her plan to become a doctor, leaving little time for anything else, other than working at the local pub to help cover her living expenses. There is nothing worth more to her than making something of herself—unless you count Corey Tate.
Corey Tate isn’t a self-proclaimed anything. He doesn’t care enough. But ask anyone who has ever been around him and they’ll tell you he’s a bad-boy-recluse, who has a somewhat short fuse. He works hard and plays harder. Even though he has no clue what is involved in having an authentic relationship with a woman, Nicole Garrett has him curious enough to consider trying. Having zero experience in relationships proves to be a challenge for him, both mentally and emotionally.
Timing is everything, right? How much time has to pass before the moment is lost? Two years of knowing glances, private talks, and a connection that surprises them both, come to a head when Corey draws a line in the sand. Can these two very different people find their way to a love that can last forever, or will their own flaws ruin what could have been? If Corey and Nicole could get out of their own heads, they might just find out the difference between falling in love and being in love.

Advance Praise
Jolene Cecil: This book brought me to tears in a way no other book has. I SOBBED. I am in denial that it’s over. It’s more than a book hangover…..and only a true bookaholic will understand this. The author did a brilliant job making me feel as though I knew each character inside and out. I experienced what they did, felt it, breathed it. All of Corey and Nicole’s firsts felt like my first. It was unbelievable.
Books Laid Bare: This was a great read and Nicole is a really, really great female character. She is far from straight forward but don’t let that put you off, it is to her benefit that she is who she is, I loved her quirks and her unique outlook on life, it gave her character credence and her situations honesty. I read the book fairly quickly but that was due to the fact that it had me completely absorbed, their story line was pitched to absolute perfection, they tone and temper of their words and actions drew me like a moth to a flame and I didn’t want to divert my eyes from them.A fabulously warm, touching, funny but poignant story that I really enjoyed.
Sakshi Goyle: This is the best book in the series. Nothing more to say! At first, I wasn't sure where the plot was leading, but, when it did... Carrie had me crying on the floor. It can be read as a standalone and JUST READ IT!Home is Where The Wine Is Book Blog: Ok this book was bad ass. By far my favorite in the Dream Girls series. I loved Nicole from the very beginning. Every girlfriend has that one. The one that makes sure you don’t drive drunk or go home with the wrong guy. The one that seems to have it all figured out. Well until she met Corey Tate. He remains an enigma to her.I swear I wanted to quote this entire book. I wanted to tear the pages out and scream at the world. LOL ok that is book abuse but seriously these two are made for one another.
Favorite Quote: “I’m serious. I can’t stand to think of a life without you in it.” ”You’re too sweet sometimes. I wonder what our friends would say if they heard you talking like this.” I decided to take us in another direction. ”I don’t care. They’re got their dream girls, and I’ve got mine.”
