Wishing on a Dream by Julie Cannon
4.0
I've been in an odd reading mood. All I've been feeling like for the last week has been romance and short stories. This was one of a couple of romance novels I'd pulled off my queue between SpecFic anthologies and it was probably the better of the two.
Kiersten Bradley is a self-made millionaire in her mid-30s and CEO of an energy drink company. Tobin Parks is a hit pop singer in her mid-20s. Both have success in life beyond expectations, and both have conquered difficult childhoods to get where they are. When Tobin wants to become associated with Kiersten's company as a spokesperson, the two are pushed together with some interesting chemistry.
The best romance novels give good backgrounds and full lives to their characters as well as showing the characters growing through their relationships and how their lives change accordingly. This book pretty much nails that. The romance is also quite believable even though both these characters have serious insecurities.
A very minor quibble, but after all that drama in the middle of the book, I would have loved to see Kiersten's horrible family's reaction to the end of the book.
