This book has such an interesting premise but ultimately fell a bit flat to me. Gaia has such a unique ability and I think if the book had a little less plot and also sharper writing, this could have been amazing. Eventually it turned out to be a book that was okay and which I had to power through a little to complete.

Thanks to the Publishers and NetGalley for the ARC. ( )

A great story with a magic element - my favourite kind! Our MCs are well drawn, relatable yet sweet, struggling with some difficult situations they've been thrown into. The ancillary characters were great too. At the end of the book, we have our HAE, with an acknowledgement that the shifts, while positive, weren't smooth, and I appreciated that. I can't wait for the next book in this world! ( )

Part of her success as a romance author comes from the dreams she has about them. When her dreams is shared by the hero, the secret is out. As the two grapples with the implications of the shared dreams, they became closer. But their relationship is faced with obstacles from their pasts, familial issues, and personal struggles. How will they get their happy ending?

This is a solid start to the series. I liked the portrayals of the main characters in the story. There were a mixed bag of secondary characters that were likable and annoying. I do feel that the story needed to be expanded more as it didn't feel quite complete in my eyes. However, I enjoyed reading the book and look forward to the next one in the series.

**Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions and thoughts in the review are my own.** ( )
