The second book in the series is by far the best. This is the second best because:
  • It intertwines all of the series characters into the book
  • Some cheesy predictable aspects in the book, (mostly towards the end) but not terrible
  • For how long the book was it didn't feel like it was too much, went by fast
  • I liked how it was different from the other books in the series because instead of the typical woman of interest Lana was different.

This book was a great read. I started out not really liking the characters that much but by the end of the book I was in love. It also had a big surprise ending. I found myself getting emotional throughout the book. This is easily the best dreamland billionaire book in the series.

I loved the characters, especially little Cami, and I loved how the second chance, friends to lovers bit was done. I thought it was a really nice way to wrap up the Dreamland Billionaires trilogy. That being said, there were things that bugged me. There were several bits that were mentioned or alluded to that were never talked about or explained. If you’re not going to explain them, what’s the point? And there were others that just didn’t seem to add anything to the story. Like Lana wanting to own her own sweet shop. I get having the love of baking, but what does her dream of owning a sweets shop do for the story? That could’ve been omitted and the story would’ve stayed the same. The addition of these unnecessary factoids here and there also made the book longer than it needed to be. Don’t get me wrong, I gobbled that shit up. But it could’ve been 100 pages less.

Somehow I knew Cal’s story would be my favourite. 

Asher’s depiction of alcoholism is well researched and written with respect for those who struggle with substance abuse. 

Alana is a woman after my own heart with her love of baking. I respect her need to put Cami before anyone else, even Cal’s need to get sober. 

What can I say? I’m a sucker for a golden retriever boy and a happy ending.

I love Cal. He has been my favourite of the brothers throughout the series. Don’t get me wrong, I do love a grumpy man but Cal and his sarcastic comments will always be better. 

This book was a lot more serious at points than the others. Addiction is not just a passing comment but a constant. I really like how it was discussed and handled especially in Cal’s POVs.

Lana is great too, she did annoy me sometimes but I would have probably done the same thing in most cases except when it comes to her sister but that is a minor part of the book. Cami is amazing and probably the best character. She is adorable and great at hustling.

I love the ending, not just for Cal and Lana but how the series was wrapped up for everyone.
Cami calling Cal dad almost made me cry. Their dad not getting anything made me so happy, how could he choose not to try with his own kids?? Good on grandpa for that one.
