A Dream Come True is a very nice book to sit down to. Not only does it have likable characters, but well meant messages that come across without hitting the reader over the head with them. The main message is, of course, love - that it comes in many forms and in many ways. The other (which fits in with the first) is family: how different members interact with each other, their expectations for and of each other, how expectations can shift with unexpected news and how they will (or at least they should) always be there. A definite recommendation.

I really enjoyed the love story of Mike and Wes. A Dream Come True by Addison Albright was a story filled with great love, respect, humor and it still managed to have plenty of heat. Mike was a lovable character even if he was still a little “closeted” when we first meet him in the book. Wes is the type of guy I would want for my own. Addison’s secondary characters were just as funny and lovable as Mike and Wes. I would love to be able to read their stories in future books. I would especially like to know if the family ever finds Uncle Marty.

I highly recommend picking up Addison Albright’s A Dream Come True. Get ready to believe in the power of love, albeit familial love or romantic love.

A Dream Come True is a sweet and beautiful story.  There was some conflict stemming from Mike's fear of coming out, but overall it was a nice easy read about a romance that was coming full circle.  Mike and Wes were very caring and respective of each other. Pretty much all the characters were likable, even the rude smartasses. I really liked Mike's family especially his dad.  Toward the end of the book the older members of his family were speaking about a long lost relative and it had me curiously wondering if there may be a spin-off to this story.  I certainly hope so. Readers looking for an enjoyably pleasant story, should pick up a copy of A Dream Come True, they won't be disappointed.

This was a good, solid romantic read with some terrific characters. I think one of the main reasons why I liked it so much was that it seemed so ‘real’. No serial killers or stalkers, but lots of simple, day-to-day life circumstances. It was great.

This was a new to me author and someone I will definitely be trying again.

I loved all of the characters in this book. Wes and Mike are marvelously well-developed and their friends and family were an added bonus and not a distraction as sometimes can happen in a book.

This was a sweet romantic book with just a bit of angst. Mike and Wes are hot together but still manage to be tender and it's easy to know how each feels as the story goes along since Ms Albright did a very good job switching POV. If you're a fan of happy stories that feature people having fun, living life and finding love, this is the book for you.

This sweet, beautifully characterized story takes us through almost a year in the life of two very likable men in their mid-twenties who have approached being gay in very different ways. They both come from loving families and have similar goals and expectations, but Wes never hid what he was while Mike still does. Neither was wrong in his approach, but it is interesting to compare and contrast the two results, both positive in this case. Addison Albright writes a heartwarming tale of love, with a lot of sexy spice thrown in. The story is written very smoothly, with minor twists and turns on the road to love. We get to know Mike and Wes as they get to know each other, and their happy ending is well deserved.

I think you will enjoy Addison Albright's writing style. She has a clever way with words, and expresses feelings beautifully. This is a lovely book, and I know you will enjoy it.

A Dream Come True is a story with very little real conflict. It mostly consists of issues manufactured by the characters themselves. I found that believable because people can, in fact, worry too much about something until an issue becomes this huge, insurmountable mountain. It's only later when it's finally faced that one realized that there was never really anything to worry about in the first place.

The characters were likeable and empathetic. I very much enjoyed the writing in this first story I've read by this author. I always approach books by blogpals tentatively because a fun person online does NOT always equal a good writer, but Addison Albright pleasantly surprises on both fronts. I look forward to reading Another Dream, which will be the sequel to this story, featuring Mike's uncle.

Addison’s first novel is a sweet, romantic tale of “falling in love”, mixed with a nice dose of “coming out”. The beauty is not in the plot. The beauty is in the lovable main characters and fantastic, well developed secondary characters. It is in the nice sex scenes that range from extremely tender to slightly kinky. Most of all, it is in the happy, relaxing, enjoyable vibe that prevails through the entire story, and makes this the perfect book to end a stressful day or week.
