Suite Dreams audiobook

Full Review on The Candid CoverSuite Dreams by Rachel Hawthorne is a story about a couch swap gone slightly awry. The book is filled with winter fun, and both the main characters are likeable. This is a cute and wintry read that will leave the reader with warm feelings.After her boyfriend suggests they take a break and signs up for a couch swap in Australia without telling anyone, Alyssa is stuck making room for a stranger in her own dorm over winter break. She slowly introduces Jude to winter in Vermont and, after some time, the two start to fall in love. I loved reading about all the winter activities Alyssa shows Jude such as skiing and snowball fights. The plot is admittedly overly cheesy, but for what it is, the book is still enjoyable.❀ ENJOYABLE MAIN CHARACTERI enjoyed Alyssa as a main character, and she is so generous. She goes as far as offering her own couch to a stranger when Rick’s original plan falls through and makes sure Jude has a great experience in America. She is also very studious, taking extra courses over the break. I liked how smart Alyssa is for still keeping up with school despite being presented with distractions and how she thinks things through before starting something that she isn’t sure will last. Jude is also a sweet character, but he is a little too perfect to be believable.❀ GREAT WINTER READSuite Dreams is a quick read about a couch swap mishap over winter break. I enjoyed reading about the main characters’ winter fun, and both of them are considerate. While this may not be the most realistic story, it is still great to curl up with on a winter day.

I really like these fun books by Rachel Hawthorne. This one is a quick read that entertains. Alyssa is a college freshman who studies a lot and has only had one boyfriend, the one she met the day she moved into her dorm. They haven't really been on a date, just hang out together and kiss. Then winter break arrives and the said boyfriend decides to go couch surfing to Australia. And he conveniently decides to take a break from his relationship with Alyssa right before he leaves. Oh, but don't tell anyone unless we decide to get back together. I think I would have hit him! After that little performance, this "boyfriend", Rick, forgets to tell Alyssa (or anyone else for that matter) that he is actually trading couches with a hottie from Australia. The problem is that Rick didn't tell his roommate and his couch isn't available. So it falls to Alyssa to find a couch for Jude to sleep on. Isn't is nice that her couch is available.But what is the point of starting a relationship with a guy who is only going to be here for a few weeks and then he returns to the other side of the planet. Besides, what if Rick wants to get back together when he returns? Alyssa is confused and strongly drawn to Jude. Is Jude just being polite or is he flirting with her? He has a very charming personality and a great accent that makes it hard for Alyssa to think straight. If you enjoy a quick fun read that still has you guessing a little about how this one can possible end, then you will like this one.

3.5

Rating 3.5 StarsAnother cute one from Hawthorne. I had a good time with both Alyssa and Jude and thought they were a great pairing. There were some really fun moments, and I absolutely appreciated the overall lightness and near zero angst in the story. It hit the spot.

Posted at http://oh-my-books.blogspot.com/2011/...Alyssa met Rick at her first semester and they became a couple right away. Their relation ship was comfortable, but then he left her and went on vacation to Australia while she's going to spend her winter break alone.Although Alyssa recognize she wasn't totally in love with Rick, she still feels bad. She wanted to be like her parents, who found each other at school.While she's dealing with that, Jude, the sexy Australian guy, comes looking for her. He exchanged couches with Rick, but his couch is already taken, so he will have to stay with her.From the beginning Jude is sweet and protective with her. He likes to be with her and do things together, and it's obvious he likes her. He's very funny and Alyssa feels good with him. Oh, and Jude is hot. Very hot.Little by little they become closer, and even when they have everything against them, they can help but fall in love.Suite Dreams is a very short and cute book. It's lovely and has an open happy ending. I recommend it for those days when you just want to read something light, happy and romantic.

Le doy cinco estrellas porque fue demasiado bonito

omg i loved it soooo much it was a different story than most of her books-the girl had the black hair and blue eyes and fit ish body-the guy was brown haired and had blond highlight and greenish eyes most of her book the main guys have black hair and dazzleing blue eyes with a crocked smile lol i loved it soooo much i have almost finished all of her books !!!!!!

I loved this book. I read so much of this author when I was a freshman in high school and I was so happy when I stumbled across one of her books at my work. I dove in head first to this book and I was not disappointed. The light fun romance. The silly mistakes. The totally avoidable situations they get themselves into. I am defiantly going to read more of these cheesy romance novels in 2o20.

I’m a sucker for young love stories! It was a great quick read!

Probably more of a 3.5 star. But I gave it 4 stars just because of how much I enjoyed it! Quick easy romantic winter read. The characters are adorable and fun and they do lots of wintery activities!

Cute book, exactly what I needed a happy little story. The only part I rolled my eyes at was the very very end. If they wouldn't have said that I would have been ok. 3.5 stars overall.

I love Rachel Hawthorne's cozy YA romances. This one does not disappoint. It's winter and colleges are on break. Alyssa ends up with an exchange college student crashing her suite but, surprisingly, she's not that upset about it. You never know what you've got until it's gone is sometimes a good thing when you find out there is something so much better!

Suite Dreams by Rachel Hawthorne Rated: 4 stars'Hello, mate!(Practicing my Australian.* How am I doing?)I'm so glad the timing worked out for this couch exchange. I'll be crashing on yours by the time you get to mine.** If you run into any problems, just find Alyssa. She'll help you out with whatever you need.***Your couch-swapping mate,Rick*That's cute. Go have fun in Australia and leave ME—your girlfriend for an entire semester—to waste away on campus, alone.**Um, think again. Your couch is already taken.***Great. Now I've got to find a place for the (unbelievably hot, it turns out) Aussie to crash. But there's only one couch available: the one in my dorm room. . . .'I read this book when I was a little younger and I loved it. Its a fun, short and quirky story that's very easy to fall in love with. The book follows Alyssa who's boyfriend- without telling her anything what-so-ever- swaps couches with a guy from Australia. Which means her boyfriend goes to Australia and lives there while the Aussie comes to Virginia and takes his couch. “The thing I've found about exciting is that it's like fireworks. A big burst of color. It takes your breath away, and then nothing. But something that's always there, while it might not be as exciting, like the stars in the sky, they can still steal your breath.”The way the author wrote this book was pure awesomeness and I will never get tired of reading any of her works.“Sides, i don't like the posed pics.They're not the real person.They're a reflection of what the person wants the world to think of her-not what she really is.”And the main guy ( whose name I forget... hehe), he... he so amazing, there are no words to describe him. Lets just say:

This book sounded really cute when I first heard of it! Plus, after her Dark Guardians series, I am a huge fan of Rachel Hawthorne's -- I just can't believe it took me so long to pick this up!Straight off, I liked Alyssa. She actually reminded me a lot of me, actually, in the way that she studies obsessively for school. I loved her bravery (even though she didn't see it) and her attitude towards everything. Her voice sounded really genuine, and I loved that she sounded like she could have been one of my friends. I was able to identify with her easily and sympathize with her. I LOVED her relationship with Jude! It was so sweet, and I loved reading about them falling in love. It was adorable, really. There was awkwardness and intimacy and everything that you experience when you fall in love. Their romance was fast-paced, yeah, but that was what made it fun to read about and what made it so enjoyable. Jude was abso-bloody-lutely (in his words) swoony and I loved him! I think I have a new favorite to add to my list.I read this in about two hours. It was absorbing and I found it difficult to put down! There wasn't a single dull moment in the book; there was always something happening with Alyssa and Jude, and the tension between them just kept me on the edge of my seat and pretty excited for them. I loved every little scene in this book - there really just wasn't anything I didn't like. Even though it's an easy, quick, light read and very predictable, it was thoroughly enjoyable and I loved it so much more than I thought I would.Overall: 5 out of 5 starsCover: I'm not the biggest fan of this cover, but I still thought it was extremely cute and I love the colors used, as well as the design of the title. I might pick this up in the bookstore, but I might not; it might depend on how I feel that day. It's still a pretty cute cover that matches the story, though!
