Mia Murphy may be married to the man of her dreams. But the man in her dreams is the one that got away—her high school crush. Mia’s stuck in a rut, just like every other stay-at-home mom, and the only thing saving her from her monotonous routine is her perfect husband, Declan. He’s gorgeous, he adores her, and the man stole her heart with his sexy singing voice. Mia feels like the luckiest girl in the world, until she discovers that Mr. Perfect is not Mr. Faithful. Mia is devastated. Everything she once believed about Declan and their marriage is now covered in a big cloud of doubt and regret. On impulse, she kicks the cheating bastard out, pushing them into a separation that could mean the end of the picture-perfect couple. But when Mia receives an invitation to her high school reunion, she finds herself abandoning the present for the oh-so alluring pull of the past. Although her heart still belongs to her husband, inescapable thoughts of her crush, Noah, resurface. And ten years later, Noah isn’t afraid to make his move. When the build-up of fantasies and ‘what ifs' comes to a head, sparks fly and it’s Mia’s turn to question if her marriage is everything she wants out of life. Searching for answers, Mia dives head first into dating Noah, falling further away from her husband and closer to her old flame. But Declan’s not giving up so easily. Mia is his one and only and he’s not about to let another man win her heart.

I rated Man of Dreams FOUR LEAVES! What a fantastic, addictive novel by Faith Andrews that was brilliantly written. I sat down on Saturday morning to read this and never left the sofa until Saturday afternoon as I closed the book! I hated this book! Yet, I LOVED this book! Never have I ever felt so strongly on both ends of the spectrum about a book lately that I wanted to pull my hair out from! Mia and Declan, the book's two main characters are fantastic. They're deep and very real. The story is taken place over a back and forth period of the last decade of Mia and Declan's life. Their first meeting, first date, engagement, and etc. I liked how it all intertwined with each chapter. Now Mia and Declan are living their live with two beautiful little girls.
Grace's world is turned upside down when a shocking event happens with Declan, leaving her with puzzling questions about her life with her husband. With this issue that happens it questions so much the two. As time goes by as they and healing for the issue, Mia meets her high school crush at her ten year class reunion. The author does a great job interweaving this triangle throughout the end of this book. I personally may not have agreed with some of Mia's choices, but I definitely felt it all for the characters. The only thing that made me upset was about Mia and her actions. I just have to add I was Team Declan in this book and I was on his side the whole time. I wish we could have heard more of his POV of the book.

In the end, I loved how it ended and a glimpse into the future. This is an incredible novel that I really enjoyed it. It's a powerful book with strong characters who have to live with a complicated problems as real questions has to deal with. Read this book you will not be disappointed!!
