An excellent book!

Dreaming of You is a hilariously delightful read! Aden Ingle has dreamed of his perfect man for years, hindering his real love life, where he remains single until he meets handsome, intelligent, wealthy Logan Price. Logan and Aden quickly hit it off, taking the reader on a fun filled, passionate adventure rife with entertaining incidents that will keep you laughing! Aden's clumsy and indecisive nature is endearing and if you are anything like me you may have points where you wish you could reach into the book and shake him, or hug him, I could never really decide which! As a reader it was difficult for me until the end to chose who I wanted Aden to be with, because lets be honest, can a real man ever really be better than the one of your dreams?

Dreaming of You

Aden Ingle has always had a very vivid imagination, to the point that he has been dreaming of the same imaginary lover since he was twelve. This has constantly kept him from becoming fully involved with anyone romantically. When he meets fellow restaurateur, Logan Price, every expectation Aden has ever had flies out the window. As the romance progresses, it blossoms into love and Aden decides to move to California to be with Logan. However, as he is about to board the plane, Aden finally sees his dream man in the flesh. In a fit of desperation Aden follows the man to satisfy his curiosity and see if fate has tossed him the real dream man or if Logan is the "real" dream man - the one perfect for Aden. Dreaming of You is a wonderful love story that is packed full of emotion, passion, and Aden's klutzy accidents that will have you laughing right along with him and his nutty friends. The chemistry between Aden and Logan is unforgettable and so combustible that it might set you on fire. It is also incredibly romantic how Logan completely barrels through Aden's defenses to become an integral part of his life and his true love. Aden's best friends are wonderful secondary characters that add the right amount of spice and wit to the novel, making it hard to put down, even to pay attention to the necessities of life. Ethan Day has written an unforgettable love story that will blow your socks off and leave you wanting more - even when Aden is doing something that resembles a car crash in slow motion and making your romantic heart cringe in fear. Dreaming of You is not to be missed. Get it today! Sabella Reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

A Really Good Book !

I liked this book. Though it's written in 1st person and I usually don't enjoy those books as well, but once I started reading this book, I didn't stop until I was finished. You can read all the details in the other reviews. I just wanted to thank Ethan Day. I chuckled through some of the book but on page 81 I started to loose it. I was laughing so hard on page 82 I had to put the book down for a moment. Only to have to put it down again on the next page so I could get my breath back. GREAT! I enjoyed the characters, especially Aden. Maybe that's because we're almost alike in the behavior/accident area. This book will be staying on my keeper shelf. Please Ethan!!! Write more and more and be quick about it! ;-)

Dreaming of You by Ethan Day

This is the second book I read by Ethan Day, and as before, it left me with the idea that probably, a) Ethan Day is a young guy with a positive and friendly attitude b) he likes very much the romantic comedy (both books but above all movies). In this new book he winks the eye to "Only You" a 1994 movie with Marisa Tomei: in the movie Faith was getting married with the perfect boyfriend, but she has only a regret, she has never met her "dream man", a man who frequents her night and day dreams since she was a teenager. Same here, Aden is a nice young man, he co-owns a restaurant in Missouri and he has a quite happy life, if not for the thing that he has not a boyfriend. But Aden manages well all the same, he is a friendly guy and he has no problem to get laid, if he wants, and when he has no real man with him, he has his dream man, the perfect fantasy he built when he was a lonely teenager. In the last 15 years he married, built an house, adopted a son, went on holiday, all the time with his dream man. Then to a convention in Atlanta he meets Logan, a restaurant owner from Los Angeles. Logan is not exactly his dream man (Adan has clear in mind how his dream man looks), but he is not far from the perfect boyfriend material: Logan is sexy, funny, friendly. Maybe he is a bit too much on the playboy side, but it's not that Aden is a virgin maid waiting for the knight in shining armor... so what is Aden waiting? probably the trouble is that, even if near perfect, Logan is not 100% perfect as Aden imagined his dream man, to build something with Logan, Aden has to compromise, maybe even move and change his life (Missouri is not exactly near to California). And it would mean take a risk, since even if Logan behaves like a man in love, from what Aden understood, Logan is not exactly a celibate man, and instead Aden, even if sometime he enjoys himself, is more the commitment and exclusive type. And then there is the big open point: Aden knows, deep inside, that his dream man is out there waiting for him... what will happen if he commits with Logan to then find his dream man? I like the feeling of the book, since it's very romantic without forgetting that we are speaking of men; an example? first date between Aden and Logan, Aden is in his room waiting for the night and the dinner with Logan; what would a woman do? take care of herself, maybe go to an hairdress, at least spend hour in front of the closet choosing the perfect dress... what does Aden do? he masturbates! and then, after taking care of himself in his own way, he spends some minute in front of the closet choosing the perfect dress... this is the difference between a "female perspective" on romantic comedy and "male perspective". But this is also the reason why I like it, since, even if obviously a pink glass perspective on love and life, I felt like the characters were real, with all their quirks and faults, and perfect shiny life. The world where Logan and Aden live and love is an upper-clas

Fun and lively romantic comedy

Ever since he was fourteen years old, Aden has been having dreams that feature the same man. Sometimes they're married, sometimes they're not; the scenarios change, but they are always lovers. He is Aden's "Mr. Right." For the past fifteen years, Aden has been looking for his dream lover, convinced that the man is out there somewhere and that they are destined to meet and spend their eternities with each other. Consequently, none of his real life relationships last very long, because no one can measure up to a fantasy. That is, until he meets Logan Price while at a conference in Atlanta. Logan is the direct opposite of Aden's dream guy, but something about him attracts Aden. Maybe it's because the man is funny, maybe because he finds Aden's various quirks to be cute and even endearing, but something between them clicks and feels comfortable and "right." After a week in each other's company and several months of a long-distance relationship that involves a lot of phone sex and a huge long-distance bill, both Logan and Aden believe that it may be time to take the next step and for Aden to move to California to be with his lover. Everything would seem to be perfect, if only for one thing: Aden hasn't stopped dreaming about his mystery man. Even as he falls in love with Logan, he feels as if he's somehow betraying the man in his dreams, and the "what ifs" continue to niggle in the back of his mind. What if his dream man really is out there looking for him? There is no doubt that Logan loves Aden unreservedly and that they are perfectly matched for each other. Will Aden toss over his chance for real, true love for a dream? ******** Ethan Day's novel Dreaming of You is an entertaining trip into the world of one man who is so caught up in his dream world that he nearly misses out on a chance for real happiness. This story is whimsical and well-written, with characters who will capture your affection while at the same time spurring your laughter. The story structure of Dreaming of You is unique but quite well done. The story begins "in medias res," and while this narrative method can be awkward (at least in my opinion), Mr. Day makes it work. It teases us with just enough information to make us wonder what on earth is going on, and that makes us eager to delve into the story. Because this story is told by Aden, we are immediately drawn into his character. And what a character he is, too. Comically clumsy, foot stuck perpetually in his mouth, Aden generates equal parts affection and exasperation in the reader. This man exhibits one surprising quirk after another. He is self-deprecating, comically dramatic, and focused to an extreme on making people like him. He argues with himself and even answers himself occasionally. Yet take a ride in his car ride with him, and he switches personalities. It's hair-raising and terrifying and absolutely hilarious to watch him zip through traffic, turn erratically, shout at clueless and innocent drivers, and give
