"Tragedy haunts her, regrets shadow him and passion lures them into a mystery as dangerous as their feelings for each other. In MY WILDEST DREAM, Freethy captivates with a sensuous game of tainted hearts and tempting romance." Isha

Brodie McGuire was a bold, fearless skier whose dreams of Olympic gold vanished in one career-ending fall. Now, he's following in the footsteps of his grandfather as a cop in his hometown of Whisper Lake. Surrounded by the mountains he once conquered, Brodie is trying to find stability and purpose in his new future...when a case brings him together with a beautiful woman, whose cool reserve intrigues him more than he'd like.

Chelsea Cole was a country music singer on her way to the top when her music inspired a tragedy. Unable to face her fans or the spotlight, she went into hiding, reinventing herself as a small-town music teacher. But Whisper Lake has its secrets, and a problem with one of Chelsea's students introduces her to a brash and altogether too sexy cop who wreaks havoc on her plans for a quiet, drama-free life.

As Chelsea and Brodie work together to solve a mystery, sparks fly between them. Brodie tempts Chelsea out of her safe cocoon, but will more pain be waiting? And when Brodie pushes Chelsea to find her voice again, will she be one more dream he has to give up?

My Wildest Dream : Whisper Lake Book 2 is by Barbara Freethy. This second book in the series helps set the series off to a fabulous start. The second book is probably better than the first one. The characters are realistic and close to life and her situations are believable.
Brodie McGuire woke up knowing someone was in his back yard. As a police officer in Whicper Lake, he had not been in bed long. Now, he quietly got out of bed to investigate. Someone had started burning empty houses and since he didn’t have furniture in his front rooms, it looked like his house was empty. Was it someone trying to burn it? When he got outside, he found it was his neighbor looking for a cat. He startled her as she had just caught the cat and caused her to drop it. She had to get the cat and take it indoors because he was her neighbor’s cat and she didn’t want to lose him.
After the cat was in the house, Brodie introduced himself to his neighbor. She knew that he was an ex-Olympian who had been going for the gold that year but was in an accident and could no longer ski. He didn’t like talking about it, so turned his attention to her. She was Christie Cole, a second grade teacher. She had come to Whisper Lake to get away from her music career. She didn’t want anyone to know who she had been nor to ask her anything about her past. Could she keep her secrets around Brodie when he was so interested in her? g

Wonderful Love Story for Chelsea and Brodie

Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2020

I absolutely loved My Wildest Dream by Barbara Freethy. It is the second book in the Whisper Lake series. Barbara Freethy has once again shown that she is an amazing storyteller. I could not put it down. I loved every page. I really enjoy how the book is told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. My Wildest Dream is the story of Brodie McGuire, former Olympic downhill skier turned Whisper Lake policeman and Chelsea Cole, former country singer/songwriter turned elementary music school teacher. Both Chelsea and Brodie had dream come true professions before life changing incidents occurred in their lives. Brodie’s career changed was forced upon him because of a career ending fall he took when he lost his concentration during the Olympic downhill trials. Chelsea chose to walk away from her singing career and has not told anyone of her reasoning behind her retirement. Chelsea and Brodie meet while Chelsea is searching around Brodie’s yard for the neighbor’s missing cat, Lady Jane, that she is cat sitting. Brodie helps Chelsea locate the cat and put her safely in the house. Chelsea and Brodie discuss the string of recent fires in empty homes around Whisper Lake. For Brodie it is love at first sight, but Chelsea fights her feelings. The following day Chelsea shows up to the police precinct to talk to her brother, Adam about one most recent arson and how it is impacting Travis a young student with autism in her summer school class. She runs into Brodies and discusses her concerns about Travis. Chelsea and Brodie agree to meet up at a local bar for wings later that night, Chelsea’s treat to show her appreciation to Brodie for helping with Lady Jane. While with Brodie, Chelsea’s ex-boyfriend and singing partner, Austin Boone, shows up. As Austin pursues Chelsea she hides out in Brodie’s house. Things begin to change between them. Paparazzi cause Chelsea and Brodie to leave a festival. Chelsea finds breaks down and tells Brodie the real reason why she gave up her singing career. He is the only person she has ever told she did not want to tell her family the reason because she did not want them to have to live for her. Chelsea gives into her feelings for Brodie, but has concerns since Brodie’s dad, Justin, has approached him able moving to L.A. to pursue an opportunity as a sports show TV host that he is developing for Brodie. Brodie chose to be a policeman because of his grandfather, but Justin has never approved of his career choice. I love the transformation that take place with Chelsea because of her relationship with Brodie. I love that Chelsea jotting down thoughts for songs and thinks about singing again. I love how once again, Barbara Freethy incorporates the title of the book in to the story. I love Brodie tells Chelsea that she is his “wildest dream”. I loved that My Wildest Dream is a more than just a romance, there are dilemmas that both Chelsea and Brodie are facing that need to be resolved. I love that there was the arson storyline, the Austin storyline, but most importantly Chelsea and Brodie’s story. I love all the descriptions of the Whisper Lake setting that Barbara Freethy detailed. My Wildest Dream is filled with the poignant and bittersweet moments in the story as well as the plot twists, that I have come to love and expect in Barbara Freethy's stories. I love the cast of characters in My Wildest Dream and I am looking forward to reading the other books in the series. Who doesn’t love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? Reading My Wildest Dream felt like a family reunion, because the reader was able to catch up with Gianna and Zach and the other characters in Always With Me. I was also happy that they found Chloe’s husband, Kevin, but it was sort of bittersweet, not sure what impact that will have with Adam. I was happy that Chelsea overcame her fears and was willing to sing again. I thoroughly enjoyed My Wildest Dream, who doesn’t love a love at first sight story.

Not a satisfying read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2021

First third ok but then it got to be so much about celebrity. Yuck. Shallow. Any real issues like the lake rescue and fire rescue were implausible and over so quick. There was no depth to the story and I feel the characters acted very young for their age. Not a satisfying read that I kept putting down.
