Review: MAN OF MY DREAMS by Faith Andrews

10 years later, Mia, now married with two children, still has dreams of the gorgeous guy she majorly crushed on in high school. Not that she’d want to swap her ordinary life for some wild, amazing sex with Noah—even if it’s only in her dreams.

It’s funny how she gets jealous of her husband lavishing more attention to the daughters than to her. But he’s just not fun anymore.
Story relays between the past and the present—between the boring life with her husband and how it used to be when they first met. There was a time when Declan was the man of her dreams. But then why is Mia dreaming of another man? My guess is extreme sexual frustration, which this book seems to dwell a lot on in detail.
At times, Mia acts like an eager, chipper teenager, especially when obsessing over Noah (high school crush), which is cute. I thought Noah was actually going to enter the scene eventually and shake up Mia’s marriage a little, which I guess he does at the 10-year high school reunion. But mostly he just remains a figment of her sultry fantasies.
The story mainly centers on the rocky relationship between Mia and Declan, summarizing their good and their bad times. Apparently, they rushed into the whole thing—marriage, parenthood—way too soon, and it all came crashing down on them. Is it any wonder why two people are feeling such resentment and loss?
Although it was well-written, I got tired of hearing the ups and downs of a love story while raunchy sex dreams played in the midst. 

My rating: 3 stars
