Publisher's summary

Can acting out the American dream with his dad's best friend change an unyielding fantasy into reality?

Eddie Brownlee's Hollywood dreams turn into a nightmare when his safety is threatened.

Lee Everett, his father's best friend, steps in as his reluctant bodyguard, stirring up unexpected emotions.

As they navigate the desert landscape, stuffed together in the cramped trailers of Hollywood's filming locations, Eddie's long-standing crush on his dad's old adventurer buddy complicates things. Especially when Eddie ignites something in Lee he'd thought he'd buried.

Struggling between desire and duty, Lee faces a whirlwind of emotions that could threaten everything he holds dear.

Including Eddie's life.
American Dream is an age gap, dad's best friend, forced proximity, bi awakening standalone MM romance novel in the steamy Flying into Love series featuring a lawyers son determined to make it big and an ex-firearms cop on a late path to self-discovery.

Age gap, dad's best friend.

I have sort of mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand I loved it, it kept me glued to my Kindle to see how things between Eddie and his lifelong crush, and his dad’s best friend, Lee, would develop. On the other hand, I wanted to scream in frustration at the unfairness of their situation, Lee’s hesitancy and outside world interference. I guess I am just the kind of girl that doesn’t think or consider any obstacles where love is concerned, so the (very reasonable) reasons that hindered or delayed their being together just made me want to scream and cry in frustration.
I loved Eddie, he is young but very mature for his age, having had to grow up way too soon, and he is the one keeping a level head while Lee, let’s face it, has more than one freakouts throughout the book. Honestly, though, trying to keep Eddie alive and safe while figuring out his feelings for him and questioning his loyalty to his best friends may not have been the easiest of things.

Great story, great narration!

I have to admit that age-gap stories will probably never be my favorite thing to read, and a 20+ years gap is a bit much for me but…having said that, if C F White writes it, I'm going to read it and I'm so glad that I did.

I love it when a story gets all of my emotions involved and this one surely did that. I wasn't sure how C F White was going to handle a story written in the US (use American English/vs British, etc.) and I love how she did it. I'm not going to say how because it might be a bit of a spoiler. I'll just say that I think it was the perfect solution for a British author who doesn't normally write books set in the US.

American Dream contains a lot of romance tropes and I was pleasantly surprised that slow-burn was one of them (I love slow-burn!). The first kiss between Eddie and Lee doesn't happen until around 44% into the story and the first sexy time doesn’t' happen until around 57%.

Once again, Piers Ryman did a fantastic job performing this story. I can't remember if I've ever heard him do an American accent before or not but he did a great job with the American voices in this story.
