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.

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.

Gosh, Lauren Asher never fails to amaze me with her characters and their story. Following the Kane brothers through Dreamland and their journeys, I'm so sad that its over! Saving Cal till the end was a great choice. I think he had the most personal growth that was needed, and he pushed himself to be a better man. Not just for Alana, but for himself.
