Sometimes a meet-cute, a long nap, and a sexy-ass bicep is just what the doctor ordered. Ben Montgomery - I’m not sure if I’ve ever believed in love at first sight. In my forty-five years on this earth, the only sort of love I’ve known is the unconditional, soul-healing kind I have for my twin daughters. But when I meet a sweet, flirtatious man dressed in all black with circles under his eyes even darker than his eyeliner—I’m immediately captivated. Robin Johnson makes me smile more than anyone I’ve ever met. He’s emo-goth and a walking ball of sunshine. He’s giggles and quips and yet deep beneath the surface, he hides an overwhelming sadness. And though I know he’s only in town for a short time, there isn’t much I wouldn’t do to make Robin’s life just a little bit more merry. Even if it means admitting that love at first sight isn’t a fairy tale, after all. Robin “Trashmouth” Johnson - Years of constant touring, with sleepless nights on the road and in countless hotels has taken its toll on both my body and my mental state. It’s a lifestyle that’s left me exhausted and wrecked, but also afraid to slow down, afraid to stop running. The truth is, I’ve always been running—from my past, from my family, from myself. But visiting my brother, Miles, and his new husband this holiday season in their quiet Vermont town feels like just the break I need to figure out my next step in life. And after a chance encounter with a sexy stranger, who turns out to be more than I ever could have wished for, I wonder if maybe a rolling stone could learn to grow roots. If Only In Our Dreams is a standalone Holiday MM romance with high heat, a HEA, and no cliffhangers. Includes a blossoming friends-to-lovers romance between a single father and his adorably flirty emo-punk shadow. Together these two are warm, snarky, and tooth-achingly sweet. If you like funny stories with lots of banter, holiday magic, positive mental health rep, and the slowest, sweetest of all burns then read on!

ARC REVIEW:
I normally don’t like books that is heavily centered around kids but this book was adorable. I love a good meet cute and the way Robin and Ben met in If Only in Our Dreams was perfect.
Ben and Robin was adorable together.
Robin is a sweet and precious man and Ben is a soft cinnamon roll teddy bear.
This book is like a Christmas hallmark movie and that’s what I love about it.
It’s full of warmth, happiness, sweetness and overall good vibes from the beginning.
Robin really has my heart, I hurt for him in this book. All he wanted was to feel loved and to feel like he is important to the people in his life and when he met Ben it’s like Ben was sent from the heavens as his own guardian angel to look after him and take care of him.
Even though they have different personalities, they’re perfect for each other. Ben can handle Robin’s craziness and weird personality and Robin came into Ben’s life at the perfect moment because Ben needed someone to take of him like he takes care of everyone else.
Overall, I loved this book so much, there was nothing cringe about it. It was sweet and a perfect book to read for the holidays. I am definitely going to read the other books in this series in December.
