Es una historía de segundas oportunidades. A pesar de que tiene partes spicy es un poco más YA a mi gusto.
Siento que a ratos eran un poco inmaduros los personajes.
En general me gustó y lo recomiendo si quieres leer algo ligero. Pero ten en cuenta que hay muchos libros ya con este tipo de historias.

A super cute second chance romance. Ten years pass by since high school when Mel gets dumped by her boyfriend. Moving back to oakwood to live with her twin until she can save to move back to the city. She ends up on a camping trip with her old friends and is forced to come face to face with her old crush Zac. Overall loved Zac and how he never forgot Mel even when he knew she had moved on. although the miss communication aspect/trope was annoying and caused this 10 year drift, I still enjoyed it. Cheesy in all the best ways. Highly recommend this one!!

*ARC Review from NetGalley and Atria Books*
Loved everything about this book 😍 I found myself grinning so stupidly throughout most of the book and my heart pounding during the stressful moments. The spice was definitely there but mixed really well with the sweet romance. The MCs are made for each other and everyone knows it 😂 The conflicts weren’t too dramatic and out there but gave me just enough anxiety to wonder how it really was all going to work out. Because I definitely wanted it all to work out desperately 😭 I cant wait to get a physical copy when it comes out and must be added to my favorites shelf.

4.5⭐️ 3🌶️

First, thank you to NetGalley, Atria Books, and Ellie Wilde for sending this arc for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

This was my first book by Ellie and it did not disappoint. She will be an automatic read author for me from here on out.

This was such a sweet story, and while there were frequently used tropes in the story, it was SUCH a unique plot - even with the subtle nod to The Notebook. I couldn’t get enough of it and devoured it in a day.

Zac and Melody were childhood friends, Zac being Melody’s twin brother’s best friend. They both had feelings for each other in high school but didn’t know the other felt the same way, and it just didn’t work out for them before Melody left their small town for college, while Zac stayed behind, playing football for their town’s university and going on to be the head coach of the football team.

Zac’s character is written so well, he’s the sweetest guy with all the pining and adoration, and the depth of it all is so well articulated it makes you swoon and want to cry on his behalf.

Melody is considered the “grumpy” of the two main characters, but is so witty and hilarious, her banter makes for light entertainment mixed in with the deep love story aspect.

I love the light shown on mental abuse (in her past relationship), and how abuse isn’t always physical. Real women go through that and the gaslighting that comes along with it more than people realize, so I appreciate the inclusion of that experience.

Sports romance readers who love when there’s no third act breakup will eat this up. The spice was spicing after the slow-ish burn, the banter is great, and the angst is top notch. The side characters added so much to this book as well, and I hope to see a book for Brooks, Summer, and Parker to come!

Love the Coach approach to the sports romance and the abundance of spice!

Overall: 4 stars
Spice: 4 stars

Melody left her small college hometown 10 years ago, but now she's back recovering from a bad break-up staying with her twin brother. Her goals are to return to the city asap and avoid seeing Zac, her high school crush who broke her heart. When they are forced together on a camping trip and after, can she forgive his actions as an eighteen year old and see the man he has become?

This was a great second chance/brothers best friend/sports romance with extra spice. The story was unique and offered good character development for both Zac and Melody. I did wish Melody spent more time with Summer, her BFF, and Parker, her brother. Zac's gestures to make Melody happy are sweet bordering on over the top. Would recommend to romance readers, especially if you like a strong, aggressive MMC.

*The Best Friend's Little Sister* is a steamy second-chance romance set in a small town, featuring Melody, who returns home after a breakup and is forced to spend time with Zac, her brother's best friend who broke her heart years ago. The chemistry between them is undeniable, but Zac is determined to make things right after ghosting her all those years ago, while Melody is rediscovering herself after a toxic relationship. Their reunion takes a turn when they’re forced to camp together, leading to a mix of tension, explosive moments, and surprising vulnerability. As they navigate their feelings, they’re forced to keep their growing relationship a secret, but the connection between them is undeniable, and they must figure out if this is truly their second chance at love. The story offers a perfect blend of romance, humor, and small-town charm, with a great cast of supporting characters, and a fantastic build-up to a sweet HEA. I'm excited for the next book in the series!

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fun, swoony and quite steamy!

Melody was a well thought out, relatable character. It was a pleasure to witness her grow out of her unsureness and discover the things that she truly desired. Zac, from the moment we meet him…swoony as ever. Time and time again, he showed up and showed out. He could write his own book on yearning.

The story was easy to follow, the main characters were well-developed, and a few of the secondary characters even had me in my feels. (The football player he had staying with him? Too. CUTE.)

It could’ve used a little condensing, as some of the main characters inner thoughts got repetitive, and I would've liked to see a bigger moment for Melody when getting closure with her ex, but these are minor complaints.

Overall an entertaining, enjoyable, trope-filled, sports romance read.

Zac is now one of my favorite book boyfriends. That man is head over heels for Melody. This book had me giddy!! If you’re looking for a reverse grumpy-sunshine, forced proximity, he never gave up hope book, this is the one for you! I loved every second of Only in Your Dreams!
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this book from Atria books via NetGalley!

I feel like men in romance books have to be willing to throw a punch in order to be considered “strong” and “manly”. Unfortunately, this theme is prevalent in this novel. The MMC has a hard time controlling his emotions and frequently has to restrain himself from getting violent, even with friends, if they come into any kind of contact with the FMC. It’s more annoying than cute, in my opinion.

In the beginning, I enjoyed the aspect of Melody and Zac’s relationship, especially the camping trip, but then the reasons why they couldn’t be together became silly and childish. I feel like this book could’ve been 100 pages shorter in order for the conflict to be less drawn out and repetitive.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Marketing for an advanced copy of this book.

I absolutely loved the mix between plot and spice on this book. I had so much fun enjoying their love story. I do feel the story was a little long for what was given.

This is my first book of Ellie K Wilde's but it definitely won't be my last. This was a fun, easy read, rom com that will have you hooked in quickly. I fell in love with Melody and Zac's characters. I'm also not one for "second change romances" usually so I was a bit skeptical but the way Ellie K Wilde wrote her storyline, I enjoyed it from beginning to end.

It has been a while since a Romcom has made me grin and giggle but this one had me doing that a lot. It also hit home on a lot when speaking about our FMC relationship when she comes to the realization of how her ex boyfriend of 6 years treated her once she returns home.
Only in Your Dreams is a second chance romance with our FMC twin brothers best friend. It is also a football/sports romance.
In the beginning of the book we find our main characrters as teenagers. They have a moment were they find themselves in a vulnerable spot. Cut to the next chapter being 10 years down the line and now Melody is returning back home after a split from her boyfriend, who has broken things off with her when he is off on a boy trip. Zac is still there back at home. She dreads on seeing him and now he is the Coach of the college football team.
I really loved Zac’s character. To others they describe him as Grumpy. But he is that cinnamon roll character to our FMC that we just love.
Melody has that character devlopment that we need as she realizes the kind of relationship she is coming out of.
I really enjoyed this book overall and I really cant wait to see the other side characters books come out and become the main characters becuase I think I will love them equally just as much as I loved Only in Your Dreams!

Thank you Atria Books and NetGalley for this advance reader copy of Only In Your Dreams.

This is my first Ellie K. Wilde book and it was so good.
🤍 brother’s best friend
🤍 good page turning banter
🤍 swoon worthy book boyfriend
🤍 no third act break up


To sum the book up 🥹🥹
“Get her happy. Keep her happy”

This was a quick read! I felt like it could have been a tad shorter- kind of dragged on- but I enjoyed the characters! Would definitely read another one with Parker, summer, and brooks.

3.75⭐️

Really enjoyed the book. Was hooked on Zac as soon as he popped out of that tent haha. What an adorable but hot guy all at the same time. And that red shoelace thing 🥹🥰😍. A fun light read

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I know a sports romance hates to see me coming!!!

This was EVERYTHING I ever needed from a book. Sports. Second chance. Personal growth. Spice. Family. It was EVERY. THING.

Melody was so special to me because I related to her in so many unfortunate ways. I’m so glad she had her people to help her through the darkness and to see the light.

Zac…what can I say about this man that will accurately describe how I feel? I don’t think there’s words. This man is the DEFINITION of down bad and I loved every second of his time on the pages.

God, I can’t wait to have a physical copy of this and shove it in everyone’s faces because truly, this was one of the best books I read all year!!!

And that SPICE!? MY LORD. I needed multiple cold showers. Especially after that bar scene 🥵 iykyk

Thank you so much to Atria for the ARC of this AMAZING book! 🥹🫶🏻

I really enjoyed how this was, but both people finding themselves as well as the rekindling of friendship and eventually a relationship. I did feel like there were some sides stories I made this longer than it had to be, I definitely felt the length of this book, but I still enjoyed it. overall fun and cute with some more serious themes throughout.

This is a 3.5 rounded up for me. I really enjoyed the banter and chemistry between the two leads; I believed in their backstory and could feel the tension between them from the start. My main issue is with Zac's complete obsession with Melody - you're telling me for ten years he hasn't looked at anyone else?? That stretched believability to a degree that was a little tough for me. I would have preferred if they had both been off doing their own things and came back together when the timing was right.

Overall, it's a super fun read. It's very spicy! But it's a sweet little HEA.

I really enjoyed this! It was such a nice fluffy romance.

It did pain me a little that they could've resolved their issues with a very brief discussion to clarify how they were feeling... but I had a good time so all is forgiven!

Maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea - this felt very YA to me (not a bad thing but just wasn’t advertised as such). Overall it was a good cute story but was very very long for what it was (400+ pages) and there were many scenes that didn’t really feel necessary. Looking at the series, wondering if she included a lot of the side character storylines unnecessarily? Also I realized maybe I’m just not into “sports romance” lol
