Release Date: May 14
Everyone thinks Dean Collins is too old for Fallon Blackwood. Her parents, her friends, even Dean himself.
In fact, he wants her to date guys her own age. But Fallon doesn’t care about that.
All she cares about is that she can’t take his eyes off Dean, her neighbor, her best friend, the guy who taught her to ride a bike and to climb trees.
All she cares about is that sometimes Dean can’t take his eyes off her, either. And that sometimes he looks at her like he wants to kiss her.
So it doesn’t matter that he’s thirty-two and she’s eighteen.
All that matters is that they belong with each other, and she needs to convince him of that.
Good thing they’re taking a cross-country road trip together, right?
California to New York; three thousand miles and a love story in the making…
*Featuring Simon Blackwood and Graham Edwards from ‘The Heartstone Series.’
**This is a STANDALONE NOVELLA. It was released as a part of Mixtape Anthology. Since then, it has been revised and expanded and re-titled.
Review
This forbidden romance novella was a page-turner for me! Before starting on this, I didn't know that it was a novella. I didn't pay any attention to the cover or even the blurb. I only took notice of the author's name and knew that I couldn't pass this one up. Saffron Kent is one of my go-to authors and once again, she owned me with another AMAZING story. California Dreamin' focuses on Fallon, the daughter of Willow and Simon, who you may remember if you've read Medicine Man.
Fallon has been in love with Dean, the boy her parents took in, since the age of three. He's her best friend. He watches out for her, cares for her, protects her. In her eyes, he was born for her. The only problem? He's fourteen years older and that's too old for her. At least that's what he tells himself day after day. But now Fallon is 18, in college and tired of pining away for him. She wants to be with him, so she takes matters into her own hands. She engineers a 5 day road trip with him to finally get her feelings out in hopes that he will feel the same.
Although a quick read, I absolutely loved it. I just wish that it had been longer because I loved these characters so much. There's obviously a back story between them, and I wish we could have gotten more of that. But all in all, this was a fantastic book! If you love forbidden romance, slow-burn romance, age gap romance, palpable sexual tension, angst and heaps of heat, then this is the perfect book! Five stars for Fallon, Dean and California Dreamin'!
