I have a sugar rush and I can thank Nina Lane for that. Sweet Dreams was a sticky molasses of sex, romance, and charm!!! It’s been awhile since I last read a Nina Lane book but after reading this sweet treat, I am addicted.
“She wanted to do more than live a little. She wanted to live a lot. And if the universe was telling her to get started with Mr. Luke Stone, then Polly would damn well listen. ”

I actually thought I shouldn't review Sweet Dreams at all, but then some readers would have accused me of "protecting" an author whom I'm very fond of. I don't want to do that because that's not who I am. I'm not afraid to voice my opinion whether it's negative or positive. Besides, it's just a book; it's not my raison d'être.

Nina Lane is one of my favorite writers ever.

Sweet Dreams is absolutely amazing. A new series!!!

I love Nina Lanes writing, her storytelling and her sentimental thoughts that are tangled into her books. This was just that but it was also delicious, sexy, hot and light hearted. I enjoyed the hell out of it and it was just what I needed...
So what's it about?
Polly is a loner, she lost her mum to cancer and is left trying to keep afloat the cafe/bakery her mum ran until she passed. But unsuccessfully even though she is career minded and full of aspirations. ...more

Nina Lane is an incredibly talented storyteller. Admittedly, it's been a while since I've opened up one of her books, but hers are the kind that stand apart from a million others and stay with you for a long time to come. So when I saw that she had a new series coming out, I just had to introduce myself to her fresh set of characters. While Sweet Dreams wa ...more

Review @ Vanilla & Spice Books
I have read one Nina Lane book, Arouse, and I loved it hard. She swept me away into Prof. Dean's and Liv's world and left such an impression that I still remember their names, which doesn't happen very often. I intend to read all the other Spiral of Bliss books and judging from the reviews they have received the series only gets better. But I digress, since this is not supposed to be a rave about this author's previous works.

Ah, I can't put my finger on it. There's just something about Nina Lane's books that's so damn magical! I bet if she were to write about a sack of potatoes it would be sensational. The ease of reading (which means the writing is just that superb, readers shouldn't notice bad writing), the solid, well-developed characters, the lovable plot with just the right amount of angst...this is why I've become a huge fan of this author.

A friend told me that I was an idiot for having never read a Nina Lane book before, and after reading Sweet Dreams I'm going to have to agree. I really enjoyed this stories and getting to know these characters. The writing was intriguing and kept my interest from the first page to the last. There was always something happening, but never to the point that it got to be too much.
Luke and Polly were very different characters but with the same interests. I thought it was fun how they were both in t ...more

Such a cute story
Although it's not Liv and Dean, two characters I absolutely adored in the authors previous books. I still enjoyed reading Polly and Luke's story. Polly was a character easy to warm to, she was funny a little hair-brained but a very real character. Luke took some time to really understand as he was a very complicated character and at times was annoying. But in the end it all worked out to be a great love story and that's really all that mattered! ...more

“Polly parked the van and peered through the windshield at the house. Well, good thing it was isolated here on the cliff because she was pretty sure there were zoning laws against this sort of eyesore. It was a massive, blocky structure, all white concrete, steel, and glass walls everywhere. She’d been expecting something more traditional, like an English-style brick building or a beachfront villa. Not a modern architect’s wet dream.”
