Winter Dreams (Winter Magic Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Marie Sexton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 167 ratings

Sequel to Winter Oranges

What happens when a player gets played?

Actor Dylan Frasier is known as one of the biggest playboys in Hollywood, infamous for seducing men and women alike. He’s also half in love with his two best friends. Unfortunately, Jason and Ben are madly in love with each other, leaving Dylan the odd man out. When Ben suggests an extended Christmas vacation at a resort modeled after his favorite 80s TV show, Dylan reluctantly agrees. Sure, his heart breaks a bit every time he sees them together, but it’s a vacation in the Bahamas. How bad can it be?

At first, the resort seems like any other. Dylan plans to work on his tan, get laid, and hunt for Hollywood’s most in-demand director – not necessarily in that order. Then he meets Connor, a tennis instructor still hurting from a bad breakup. Connor knows Dylan’s reputation and refuses to be seduced. Dylan sees Connor as just another conquest, but this tropical island isn’t as mundane as it appears. It has its own kind of magic, and it’s about to make things interesting.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely fun Winter Oranges follow-up holiday story perfect for anytime of year
    Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I wanted to read Winter Dreams last Christmas but time had other plans so what better time than Xmas in July to sink my teeth in?😉

    Is Dreams as good as the first one, Winter Oranges? No but let's be honest, how many sequels/follow-ups in any form of entertainment is as good? Very few. So I was okay with Dreams not grabbing me quite as tightly as Oranges because it is still a brilliant read. We got to catch up with Jason and Ben and Dylan gets to discover a little winter magic of his own.

    Fantasy Island. Awesome scenario for this magical holiday series. I always loved the show when I was a kid, don't recall watching it when it was on primetime but in reruns in the afternoons. So fun. Watching Dylan navigate his not-quite-believing despite what he witnessed with Ben and the snowglobe two years earlier makes for some interesting moments as well as provides me with the urge to smack him one or two times(okay maybe it's in the low double digit area but you get the idea😉). Connor may speak to my more Mama Bear hugs side but he's not without his moments of getting a light smack or two as well.

    As equal parts heartbreaking and heartwarming, Dylan and Connor's journey is entertaining, memorable, and worthy of Marie Sexton's Winter Magic moniker. I think it was the friendships that spoke to me the most. Yes, I was rooting for the pair from the minute they met but watching the friendship form first was a nice twist. I say "twist" because we all know that Dylan is not a commitment type of guy so seeing the flirting grow into more was quite lovely.

    But it isn't just the budding friendship between our two MCs but also between Dylan, Jason, and Ben. Is Jason a bit too hard or snarky with Dylan at times in reference to his non-commitment history and habits? Sure, but I think if he wasn't Dylan would think something was wrong and that it's just their way because let's face it, Dylan isn't exactly snarky-less toward Jason either.

    As for Dylan and Ben, well through Dylan's inner monologues we know he believes himself to be in love with Ben and wonders what would have been had he met the young man first but we also know he understands the boundaries which to me is the first sign that maybe Dylan is finally ready for a change, even if he doesn't see himself. Ben is a very unique gentlemen and it's because of his importance to Dylan that I highly recommend reading Winter Oranges first.

    I feel like I've been a bit vague in places but I don't want to spoil anything about Dylan and Connor's story nor do I want to risk spoiling Jason and Ben's story for those who haven't read Winter Oranges. Just know that Winter Dreams, Winter Magic(currently a duology as I have no idea whether the author has plans to expand) really is just that: magical. it is what the holidays are all about: friends, happiness, love, and plenty of heart all wrapped up with a magical infused bow.

    I really enjoyed book one in this series, Winter Oranges. So when I saw this one was coming out, I knew I had to read it. I was not disappointed. I loved Dylan and Connor's story almost as much as Jason and Ben's. It was definitely worth reading.

    I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

    Cuidado! Don't read this thing if you have an aversion to tears. I didn't cry over the first book, but THIS ONE is trauma-city. Dylan is 20lbs of issues in a 5lb bag. And those issues KILL.
    It's lovely, but rough emotionally.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great contemporary MM romance
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I’ve read this author before and the first book in the series. This is an MM romance with a dash of magic, set in the Bahamas on an island known as Fantasy Island from the old TV show. The main character is Dylan and the story is told from his point of view. He is a Hollywood actor, holidaying with his two best friends from the first book, Jason and Ben. The other main character is Connor both have many secrets. Although not as magical as book one with Ben, living in a snow dome, this book has some magic, and it shows in combine dreams. i’ll read more from this author. This book is a slow burn and ends in a happy ever after.

    5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful sequel
    Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I’m so glad to got to spend more time with Ben and Jason. I bought a copy of winter oranges at Denver pride years ago and absolutely loved it but had no idea there was a sequel!
    I could not put this book down. The boys all grow and learn so much and the end of this book left me with the same warmth in my heart and longing to keep reading.
    The dream sequences were truly shocking and I was surprised at how deeply I felt the horror the characters experienced and I don’t think it would have been the same if the characters were not written as well as they were.

    The final recurring dream and the reveal were so satisfying. I’ve never left a book wanting so much for the characters as I have reading Marie’s work.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Dylan's Story (from Winter Oranges)
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I'm going to be brutally honest. Marie Sexton's Winter Dreams wasn't what a was hoping for. It's probably my own fault because I rarely read blurbs, but I thought this was a continuation of Winter Oranges which was so incredibly sweet and creative and unique. Come on... if you look at the cover for both books it does look like they're both about Jason and Ben.

    The characters from that book do feature in Winter Dreams, but it's mostly centered around the spoiled playboy ex f-buddy of Jason's, Dylan. Grrr - Hollywood brats behaving badly but learning how to love again. Ah well.

    The audio version is nicely performed by Nick J. Russo, so that was lucky.

    This is a truly beautiful book. Like all Marie Sexton’s books this is a must read for me. This one, like it’s prequel Winter Oranges, is also a must re-read over and over again.
    This is a story of love, of friendship and of redemption wrapped up in a magical Christmas package. Buy it and sink into this beautiful story. It will be the best gift you give yourself this year.

    Winter Oranges and this sequel, Winter Dreams are both filled with warmth. Both the protagonists are heartsore actors, whose unheathy friends wth benefits friendship is their shield against the lonely struggle for success as actors. Enjoy!
