This is the 2nd book in the Dream Guardians series. I absolutely fell in love with the first book and was looking forward to this one, but unfortunately I was disappointed. If you've read the first one, this book is about Stacey and Connor (Adain and Lyssa's best friends). For me the chemistry between the two characters wasn't really there - it felt forced in a way. Connor was all man, very alpha. Stacey was very tough but had been dealt a rough hand by fate and tended to be mouthy instead of spunky. All in all I feel you need to read it to continue with the series but NOT the best entry to date.
enjoyed reading the book, good story line, It helps if you have read the 1st book in the series, I read the second one first and then got the 1st book then read it and reread the 2ed one again. yep like it a lot.

Really enjoying this series, however book definitely leaves you hanging for the next book which there isn't one. So you really feel like this book ended in the middle of the story. This book has much more going on with multiple characters than the first book did. There is still a focus on one main couple, however a lot is going on & there is a big "mystery" with the Guardians. I did go out to the author's website and says she hopes to write more to this series, however I really wish in a way I hadn't read this because there was no ending for me.
This is the 2nd book in the Dream Guardians series.
This book is about Stacey and Connor (Adain and Lyssa's best friends).
For me the chemistry between the two characters wasn't really there - it felt forced. Connor was very anoying alpha. Stacey had been dealt a rough hand by fate and was more whining/mouthy instead of spunky. The book starts with LOTS of world building, which was helpful for those who missed the first book in the series (like my self). However the world building gets repeative to a point of being anoying. Its full of bland sex/lust scenes, but so mechanical and un-inspired, it left me yawning.... The plot was slow and tedious, not exciting and not well written. The scifi element was there but was poorly executed. Even the romance is boring which is kind of essential in a smut book. The characters are one-dimensional with zero devalopment. And while the plot-story had potential, the author didn't manage to take it anywhere.
Maybe I should have started with the first book of the series and not this one (the 2nd) but I couldn't get "into" the plot and nothing about the characters or the story made we want to make an effort... I was disappointed. I moved on.
