Because James Truman wasn’t an athlete
or a scholar, his father made it clear that he was a
disappointment. Admitting he was gay was the last straw for
his dad, who then basically ignored James. It was Payne
Rogan, James’ sister’s boyfriend, who received all of the
attention after that. Payne was everything James wasn’t. To
make matters worse, James had a huge crush on Payne. James
left for college bitter and hurt and still half in love with
Payne. Years later, a reluctant trip home shows James that
he may have been all wrong about Payne.
I like when an author does something different. Lisa Marie
Davis writes Dreams Come True from both James’
and Payne’s perspectives so the reader is treated to both
sides of the story. James thought Payne was the “golden boy”
who could do no wrong, leaving James out in the cold. Looks
can be deceiving though. Payne had issues of his own. James’
father has a profound effect on both men. After ten years,
they finally reach common ground and find happiness in the
process. Dreams Come True is a light-hearted
romance with a very happy-ever-after. |
