Publisher Description
A hockey captain with a future to protect. A bookish writer chasing her dreams. Falling for each other was never part of the plan.
Henry Turner has enough on his plate.
As Maple Hills University's new hockey captain, he's trying to keep his team together, survive a class taught by his least-favourite professor, and somehow make it through junior year without everything falling apart.
Then he accidentally crashes a book club and meets Halle Jacobs.
Brilliant, ambitious, and more comfortable with fictional heroes than real-life relationships, Halle has her own problems. Between her studies, her job, and the novel she's desperately trying to finish, she doesn't have time for distractions—especially not a charming hockey player who somehow keeps finding his way into her life.
But when Halle offers to help Henry survive his impossible class, they strike a deal.
She'll help him with academics.
He'll help her find inspiration for her writing.
Simple.
At least it should be.
The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection growing between them. What starts as friendship soon turns into stolen glances, undeniable chemistry, and feelings neither of them planned for.
Now they're facing the one complication neither saw coming:
Each other.
Sweet, steamy, and utterly addictive, Daydream is the unforgettable final installment in the bestselling Maple Hills series. Packed with swoon-worthy romance, emotional vulnerability, heart-melting banter, found family, and a hockey hero who falls hard, it's the perfect read.
Note: Daydream contains 18+ content and is not suitable for younger readers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Grace continues her Maple Hills series (after Wildfire) with this meandering third college romance. Fresh from the breakup of a lackluster relationship, UCMH junior and aspiring author Halle Jacobs throws herself into school, work, running a romance book club at a local bookstore, and preparing to enter a romance writing competition. There's just one problem: Halle's never been in love herself, and her insecurity about her lack of experience leads to writer's block. Meanwhile, junior year is not starting so well for Henry Turner, who struggles to juggle his new responsibilities as the hockey team captain, a position he does not want for fear of failure, with the homework for a difficult required class. When Halle and Henry's paths collide during a book club meet and greet, they become instant friends. Halle offers to help Henry in the class in exchange for him teaching her how to date. Grace throws a lot of tropes at the wall to bring these two together but doesn't provide a solid through line for readers to latch onto. As a result, the plot feels both bloated and dragged out, and, despite Henry's undiagnosed neurodivergence adding some pathos, neither of the leads is particularly three-dimensional. Only die-hard fans need apply.
