A book of firsts for me...
My first ever Tessa Bailey book and my first ever hockey romance!
Teddy Hamilton, aka Xaden Riorson reads the part of Sig Gauthier in Dream Girl Drama, and no, I didn't know this before I started listening, but hey, who doesn't want a bit of Xaden's voice, even if this time he's a professional hockey player and there are absolutely no dragons involved!
I didn't like Chloe at the beginning, was I supposed to? I'm not sure. She grew on me, though. Just as the story progressed and Chloe learned how to be an adult, I began to like her more and more. She was hilarious, growing up, she lived a very privileged life and when she started to find her own way in the world and found out she needed to do her own laundry - that had me laughing out loud!
I enjoyed the air of mystery surrounding whether Sig and Chloe's relationship would be allowed to happen, and I was second-guessing what might happen to allow it to continue.
I'll definitely be reading more Tessa Bailey books. I'm off to add some to my TBR.
Thank you to Harper Audio and Libro FM for the opportunity to listen to and review Dream Girl Drama by Tessa Bailey.
About the Book
When professional hockey player Sig Gauthier’s car breaks down and his phone dies, he treks into a posh private country club to call a tow truck, where he encounters the alluring Chloe Clifford, the manic pixie dream girl who captivates him immediately with her sense of adventure and penchant for stealing champagne.
Sparks fly during a moonlight kiss and the enamored pair can’t wait to see each other again, but when Sig finally arrives to meet his dad’s new girlfriend over dinner, Chloe is confusingly also there. Turns out the girlfriend is Chloe’s mother. Oh, and they’re engaged.
Sig’s dream girl is his future stepsister.
Though the pair is now wary of being involved romantically, Chloe, a sheltered harp prodigy, yearns to escape her controlling mother. Sig promises to teach her the ins and outs of independence in Boston—but not inside his bedroom. They both know there can never be more than friendship between a famous hockey player and his high-society, soon-to-be stepsister. But keeping their relationship platonic grows harder amid the developing family drama, especially knowing they were meant for so much more…
