Dream Girl Drama
By Tessa Bailey

Dream Girl Drama picks up where the Au Pair Affair left off, following Sig and Chloe. Sig is supposed to be meeting his Father's Girlfriend and Daughter before his car breaks down.Sig is a professional hockey player and meets a beautiful girl when his truck breaks down in a country club parking lot. Sig supports Chloe by helping her reach her dream without her Mothers' money and control over her life.

The pace of the book is fantastic, and it was great to jump back in the Big Shots world. I loved the balance of knowing that they loved each other, but couldn't do anything about. I also loved the care that each had for the other, that it was never just one sided.

I would give this book a 4.5/5 stars.

Dream Girl Drama is an adult book with spice.

Thank you Netgalley and Avon for the opportunity to read Dream Girl Drama.

Another part in the Big Shots series by Tessa Bailey. Dream Girl Drama is a fun, fast-paced spicy sports romance. The book follows pro hockey player Sig Gauthier and harpist Chloe Clifford, the future step siblings.
Overall, I liked this book. The characters were very likable, and the chemistry between characters was so good.
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC copy.

This eas my first full length boom I've read by Tessa Bailey, and I wasn't disappointed! I'll definitely be buying a physical copy of this for my shelves. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this in advance.

Bruh. I've never been more excited about a step sibling book (ik they aren't technically)
Tessa Bailey is an autobuy author so l was so excited when I saw I was lucky enough to get the eARC from @netgalley !
The slow burn in the book is burning hot, my guy. Tessa never disappoints with the way her men make me feel.
Obsessed isn't a good enough word for how I feel about Sig. Lawdamercy. THAT. MAN. He isn't afraid to spoil his girl, lemme tell ya.
Now, comparatively speaking, Burgess is still my main man...but Sig is a close second.
HIGHLY suggest.

Didn't at all connect with this book or the characters unfortunately. Fell flat for me, FMC seemed so very helpless, which I get, she was very sheltered but it was a bit much. The whole they can't be together because they will be step siblings thing felt off to me as well. They were adults, had no idea their parents were even together when they met. Not my cup of tea from start to finish.

The beginning of the book had me hooked but once the storyline started getting messy due to the complications in their relationship, the story felt rushed. This was the first “step” sibling trope I’ve read and felt to rushed.

Everything Tessa writes turns to gold and now she’s dipping her toe into taboo???? I LOVE IT AND HER.

This story was everything I wanted and more. It’s now my favorite of the series bar none.

FORBIDDEN ROMANCE!!! When I read about these two in The Au Pair Affair I knew I had to get more! Sports romance is my jam, especially hockey, so i was in! I am not a big fan of instalust, but I do feel like it worked in this one because of the forbidden aspect of being step siblings. SO MUCH PINING!

Tessa could really do no wrong with her sports romances. I am loving this series so much and I was so happy to finally read Sig's story.

I loved almost everything about this book, the characters, though I wish we saw some more of the past couples in this book. I liked the mystery around if they will be together and how. Though I did not expect how that turned out in the end it was a cool twist. My only question is what happened to the dog, did he stay with them did he go back to Grace? I need to know he was okay, that dumb little guy. Also the spice scenes were perfect as usual.

I really cannot wait to see what other couples come from this series because I thought this was the end but I see there is another book with one of the rookies and I hope the other one gets a book too.

Thank you to netgalley for a copy of this book to read and review.

I just want to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this amazing book 🥺❤️

Once I got approved I had to read the other 2 books to understand who’s Chloe and Sig but honestly I really recommend it. I can’t even describe how well written the book was from how they met to the “issue” that they had going on. If you like books with Family secrets, hot jealous man, spicy moments, and forbidden love you will love this book 😭💪🏼

3/5

I have loved this fun little series from Tessa Bailey. This third book tells the story of Sig and Chloe who we met in earlier books. It goes back to when they first met and then quickly finding out their parents were engaged to be married. Even though they are soon to be step siblings, the feelings don’t go away. When it threatens both their careers can they stay away from each other?

Tessa always brings the right about of drama, romance and spice to all these books! I love all these characters and will keep reading them as long as she keeps writing them!

Ugh. I'm sorry. I didn't love this book. The dialogue was so cringey. It didn't feel genuine or organic. Maybe it was the insta-love? Idk I had high hopes but I just didn't love it.

I really wish that I enjoyed this more. Typically I have a lot of fun with Tessa Bailey’s outrageous romances. This one wasn’t my favorite. I found myself skimming through parts of it.

While I definitely can suspend disbelief in romance novels, I couldn’t in this one. Chloe’s mom and Sig’s dad are engaged, so they can’t be together. All of the characters in the story find it taboo and shocking that they are into each other. In real life, no one would care at all. Chloe and Sig are two adults who met before they knew who the other person was. It wouldn’t be a big deal.
If this was just a small part of the story, I could look past it. However, it’s the entire conflict. Nothing else keeps them apart.


Although I didn’t mind the couple’s dynamic, some readers will. Sig likes to “take care” of Chloe, spoiling her and handling all of her problems. This can be interpreted as infantilization. I didn’t have an issue with this, but it’s certainly not for every romance reader.


I will still continue to read Tessa Bailey and this series, but if you are new to this author this is not the place to start. 2.5 stars

Dream Girl Drama was honestly the best out of the 3 books!

Tessa Bailey loves to play with a mans bum... its not my favorite. But overall it was a good book and had decent character development and plenty of angst. I listened to the 2nd book in this series and so everytime i heard Chloes voice it was the high pitch blonde voice.

I literally screamed when I got the email I would be receiving this ARC! Tessa fricken Bailey!!

She does it again. Dream Girl Drama is an emotional, heartfelt, & steamy roller coaster. We ALL have been waiting for Sig & Chloe’s story since the very beginning of the big shots series. Tessa delivers & does not disappoint!

If you are a Tessa Bailey fan you will love this book! Or if you are someone who loves a book where you feel all the things - Add to your TBR!

I have read quite a few books by this author, but this was not one of my favorites. It felt off and the whole story felt that it revolved around them being future step siblings. Wasn't the worst but also was hard for me to get through.

Tessa is mildly unhinged in her books but I think that's what I love. I wanted to know more about this couple in Au Pair Affair so I'm glad we got their story and glad we got an HEA. Curious if we'll get more stories from these characters.
But also the sex scenes weren't as crazy so I'll take it.

I had forgotten how much I love Tessa Bailey. Her books just feel like a boozy brunch reunion with your best friend- you laugh, you cry, you go home horny to your significant other from the bottomless mimosas.

Okay so Sig?? Ultimate protector & caregiver. Chloe was so sweet and sheltered but I loved watching her grow in her independence.

Compared to other TB reads this is almost a slow burn. Actually yeah, it’s a slow burn. Borderline taboo but you know there’s going to be a twist (which I called!)

ALSO- I didn’t realize this was technically part of a series, but truly it can be read as a standalone and you’re not missing any info.

Thank you Avon Books, Netgalley and Libro.fm for my gifted copy and audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I was grateful this audio had both a female and males narrator. After the second book in the series with just 1 it really made a difference. Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorite male narrators, so I really enjoyed this on audio.


This storyline was teased in the last book, so I knew it would be a good one!! It helped knowing how they first met to get on board with the step sibling trope!

Overall I think this was my favorite in the series and easy to listen to! Definitely entertaining!

Dream Girl Drama is the third novel in the Big Shots series. 25-year-old Chloe Clifford and 29-year-old hockey player Sig Gauthier meet at a country club when Sig comes in to make a call after his car breaks down. They meet again when Sig visits his mom and finds out that his mom is about to marry Chloe’s dad. As Sig and Chloe have great chemistry with each other, their new future as stepsiblings creates complications. The story hinges on if the reader is a fan of two characters who may or may not end up future stepsiblings ending up together. Some readers may not enjoy this trope while others don’t mind, which greatly plays a role, in my opinion, about how you’ll end up enjoying the story.

Chloe is a sheltered rich woman who does not have experience with the real world. She is a manic pixie dream girl and lacks a lot of common sense, including the very basics of money. While I don’t mind this type of character, I think her character was written in the extreme. I prefer a little more balance as it seemed to be at a constant high for all her traits. As for Sig, there seemed to be not a lot about him aside from his obsession with Chloe. The two of them experience insta-lust and seem to want to be together instantly without any build up . As a reader, their relationship went from zero to one hundred in an instant, which will be a huge reader preference. I, unfortunately, prefer the buildup as I don’t connect with and “believe’ the relationship. Overall, the general concept had some promise, but it, unfortunately, read a novel thrown together without a lot of effort put into the details that I typically need to enjoy a story.

**I give a special thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, Avon, for the opportunity to read this entertaining novel. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.**
