When unrequited love leaves Dylan Hart sleepless and nursing his wounds, instinct draws him to the one place he's found mindless respite in the past—Lovato’s. It’s a place for every fantasy — for crazy-hot encounters — where a night of insane NSA sex brings relief to Dylan’s fragile feelings.
It should be a perfect escape, and for one magical night it seems that way, but then worlds collide, and reality bites when his hookup desperately needs a friend. Surely Dylan can’t trust his instincts when friendship has bruised his heart so badly before?
It’s burying me alive…
The deck is stacked against former ballet dancer Angelo Giordano ever finding real love. At least visiting Lovato’s offers respite from a life defined by illness; a glimmer of light in the dull grey of his so-called life without dance. But then he encounters Dylan — a glorious ray of the brightest sunshine — who makes his heart pound once more with purpose.
Angelo’s mind is blown by this man, but the disease that ended his career won’t let him bask in new love. He’s drowning, and Dylan can’t save him while insecurities swamp them both. The only way to make it means confronting their demons.
If Dylan can turn his back on the past, and Angelo can face his uncertain future, maybe they can chase their dreams together.

What I thought about Dream
Let me start out by saying this is probably the steamiest M/M book I have read in a very long time! It's scorchin hot! Dylan soothes himself with trips to a local sex club where he is able to engage in the type of sex that clears his head and set him to rights. He's not going there to look for anything but casual sex, but when he meets a mysterious and devastatingly gorgeous dom in the playroom, he can't seem to get him out of his mind.
Fate steps in and Dylan does get to meet Angelo outside of the club's confines, and they begin a tenuous friendship. With each moment they spend together both in and out of the club, they grow closer together until Angelo must reveal his secret -- that he has a terrible illness that has stripped him of his career and so much more. Angelo isn't the type to take handouts, and that ends up causing some tension with Dylan. And did I mention that Angelo is pretty much the sole person responsible for the family business, leaving him no time for taking care of himself?
Everything comes to a head when Angelo has a serious relapse and hospitalization, forcing Angelo and Dylan to really face how they feel for each other. I thought the conversation between these two when Angelo is in the hospital is one of the most heart felt and beautiful scenes in this book. I love good dialogue and this scene gets an A+.
What I loved most about this story is the progression of the relationship between Angelo and Dylan. All their problems are not solved by the end, but they do find a way for their relationship to grow and evolve, and that was just lovely.
I can't wait for more from the series, and since some of the characters in this book appear in other books from Garrett Leigh, I'm going back to read those too!
