Lost Daydreaming: A Sweet Friends to Lovers Romance (Lost Roommates Book 3) By Hillary Slaughter-Contemporary Romance Review


 Book Synopsis

Finding a job out of state and building a new life away from loss and family expectations was supposed to be the easy part.

Unfortunately for Chloe, the universe didn't get that memo. Now she's a jobless college graduate, trying to figure out what's next.

When her best friend Derek drags her to a friend's Halloween party, she's ready to call it an early night so she can return to wallowing on her couch. What she doesn't expect is to meet her perfect guy. He's attractive, gainfully employed, and can carry a conversation. The only he's obsessed with Halloween, Chloe's least favorite holiday.

Now, thanks to a bet with Derek (the world's worst wingman), Chloe's forced to attend every Halloween activity she's invited to. On the up side, this means she gets to see a lot of her dream guy. But it also means she and Derek are spending a lot of quality time together and it has Chloe reevaluating her choice to stick Derek in the friendzone.

However, letting Derek in means being vulnerable and opening herself up to pain she's fought for years to bury. Can Chloe find the courage to face her past and allow love in, even when it means letting go of her daydreams and embracing reality and all its complications?

Lost Daydreaming is a friends-to-lovers contemporary romance packed with autumn vibes, swoony moments, and a cinnamon role hero who will capture your heart. This interconnected standalone is perfect for readers who love their humor mixed with a large helping of heart!

My Review

Lost Daydreaming is the third book in the Lost Roommates series. This story is a friends-to-lovers contemporary romance that unfolds slowly. Chloe and Derek, who have been best friends for years, struggle with their feelings. They fear that expressing these emotions might damage their friendship.

This novel beautifully explores themes of grief and the importance of accepting help from others. Chloe and Derek’s transition from friends to something deeper is filled with tender moments, genuine emotions, and fun exchanges. The book addresses challenging topics with sensitivity, adding layers to the characters and their bond.

I loved that this clean romance had so many layers. It balances light-hearted scenes with moments of sadness. Both characters face tough times, making it clear why they belong together. Their chemistry is evident from the start, and Derek’s charm and support make him irresistible. It is also admirable how he took care of his ailing father.

Lost Daydreaming offers a heartfelt romance beyond just witty dialogue. Although it captures the essence of autumn, it is a story that any romance enthusiast can enjoy in any season.
