Couldn't sympathize with any of the characters. h wasn't a complete doormat but she was annoying me. H was better than the h but only by 2%. I also didn't like the writing style of the writer. The story felt underwhelming. The idea seemed really nice which is why I decided to read this after my break from reading and I'm pretty disappointed. Guess others find the story cute but it was boring with not even mediocre characters.
I was really looking forward to this one, because who doesn't love a story set in December, but it turned out to be so much more than just your Christmassy romance book. It was an emotional journey and is now one of my favourite Carrie Aarons' books. The female protagonist, Madison, is back home after her marriage of two years ended for no apparent reason. She starts helping out in the family business, trying to come to terms with things, until Porter, a broody ex-hook up, shows up. And boy, oh boy, there is tension in the air. At first Porter seems like an absolute jerk, but later reveals his true feelings bit by bit. There is some great banter and chemistry between them. It was great to see how Porter helped Madison see her own strengths and potential, and on the other hand, how supportive Madison was of Porter’s dreams. What put me off a bit in the beginning was Porter's behaviour towards Madison; which made me enjoy even more when she put on this bold attitude and stood up for herself. The individual character growth in this book, as well as how their relationship evolved, was so enjoyable to read. The Christmassy twist gave it a little extra on top. "If Only in My Dreams" is a sweet, swoony romance with all the banter and spice, small town charm, and Christmas cheer you could want. [I received an ARC of this book from Greys Promotion but this is my honest opinion.]
