Publisher's summary

As a Dream Weaver, Zane Oneiros isn’t supposed to hitch rides on the dreams of his charges, but he can’t help himself when the dreamer is Emily Hutchins.

In the waking world, Emily is his work friend. Beautiful, conscientious, and prompt. Zane is known for being brash, fun-loving, and a bit too reckless with the powers handed down to him from the Greek gods of ancient past. Could an introvert extrovert romance even work?

All Zane wants to know is if Emily thinks about him while she sleeps...if there’s any hope for friends to become lovers...or if he’ll be stuck in the work friend zone forever. Yet when he and Emily start sharing dreams—and a kiss—the entire daytime world flips upside down.

Sweet, strict Emily is suddenly adventurous, and in more ways than one. Happy as Zane is about the change in their relationship, he worries that he’s meddled where he shouldn’t. For Emily isn’t sleeping well, and her behavior is spiraling out of control. Soon Zane is battling to get the old Emily back and make their dreams turn real, not the nightmares.

Nice story!

This was a new author for me! A little slow for me but a great friends to lovers story. And Skylar was awesome as always!
I did request this free audiobook and am giving an honest review voluntarily!
Definitely worth a listen!

A bit silly but enjoyable

It wasn't exactly what I expected to be honest, but I still enjoyed the romance story overall. It's the fantasy aspect that I found really lacking, I wish the concept was better explored and developed as I found it quite interesting. But if you go in not expecting much from it you might enjoy this as an easy to follow fast-paced friends to lovers story.

The narration was good. I really appreciate that the female voices arent high pitched and annoying, which is a choice many male narrators unfortunately make.

not insta love, friends to lovers

I really enjoyed this book. it is friends to lover, no insta love. nice slow burn. this also doesn't have an overwhelming 9f smutt, but just the right amount.

Long

This book is the third in the series. I listened to the first book and it kept my interest. These books follow a family of brothers and although the books are related they can be lustened/read as standalone. this book is 2 hours longer than the first and I lost interest halfway through. I didn't know where the book was going. I'm glad I stuck it out until the end. it picks up when there's 1-2 hours left, but the middle of the book could have been edited out.

Dream Rider

This was a first for me by this author. I enjoy a good paranormal romance so I was pulled in from the beginning. I’ll definitely have to check the others out.

Skyler Morgan did an amazing job with narration.

Sweet and Sexy

Zane Oneiros is a  Dream Weaver, responsible for helping his charges into REM sleep. Without that level of sleep, there are no dreams and dreams are necessary to maintain equilibrium within the humans they serve. If a charge is having trouble dreaming or getting into a deep sleep, he might hitch a ride to become a part of the dream. He does this with a young boy who can't figure out the football plays that he needs to learn for his position. But then there's Emily Hutchins, a work friend who he'd like to see as more, and one day he hitches that ride and they kiss. The reaction is immediate and it sizzles, but it also changes everything about their relationship. Zane needs to get them back into the comfort zone, but Emily has changed. She's decided to become fun-loving, outspoken, a bit too reckless and it seems as if Zane is no longer the only one influencing her dreams. I love this story and the ending is brilliant. The Oneiros boys all make their mark on Zane's story; oh, did I mention that they're all Greek gods and simply gorgeous? The premise is intriguing and captivating; the characters are vibrant and colorful; the romance is passionate, seductive and hot. The only thing that could make this story better is an additional book. Skyler Jones does an impeccable job with the narration. His voice is clear and dynamic, and his intonation is perfect for each of the characters he brings to life.
