She’s waiting to die. . . . Corin Thompson is paralyzed by her obsession with mortality. Having lost both of her parents, she is terrified by the idea that she too will die young, and she loses control at any sign of illness. But when Corin connects with someone who has survived a very real brush with death, she begins to see the world in a whole new way.
He’s learning to live. . . . As Corin struggles under the weight of her neuroses, Beckett Kingsley is attempting to rebuild a life that feels all too temporary.

Together, Corin and Beckett finally learn to let go of their fears and take solace in everyday pleasures. Who knows what the future holds? After all, nothing lasts forever—the only promise they have is right now.

Laugh with me.
Dance with me.
Smile with me.
Love with me.
Live with me.
The butterflies never ceased fluttering in my stomach.
I was crossing my fingers.
I was holding my breath.
I was reading really slow - because her words warranted
it.
It was like I was going to miss something if I hurried
myself into it.
So there I was, grasping my reader tightly with those
f!@$% butterflies in my stomach that couldn't stop fluttering.
Ms. A. Meredith Walters, I felt my heart stopped. My
breathing hitched...
I never felt so much relief. OMG.
The butterflies followed me in my dreams.
This was such a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful read.
I just can't recommend it enough.
What happens when
a girl who thinks she’s dying meets a man who is just learning how to live?
Are your hearts ready? Because this is not your ordinary
sappy romance novel. Oh no, fellow readers, this one is far more complex than
that. Yes, it has those cheesy moments that can melt hearts, it has some
sprinkle of steam into it, but more than that, the overall effect of the book
on me was like an eye-opener, an inspiration to those who are losing hope, and
to those who can’t let go of their past. It’s time to stop and smell the
flowers. It’s time to live.
Seconds.
Minutes. Days. Look at the bigger picture and embrace whatever time you have.
Don’t look constantly toward the end. Enjoy the right now.
There were times when I get frustrated because Corin was
so wrapped up with herself and her mortality that she’s forgetting to live. She
had lost so much at a young age, and she was afraid she’d die young. Her
parents died when she was still in her teens and she had been the one to take care
of them. She is experiencing panic attacks and anxiety and frets over little
things that she thought could trigger her health to spiral downwards. She goes
doctor shopping and gets angry when the doctors would assure her there’s nothing
wrong with her. Some people would be glad to hear it, but her? Ugh.
I
think that you’re so scared of dying that you’ve forgotten what it’s like to
live.
But him? He wasn’t perfect. Beck did the whole grief
thing when he was recovering, but he passed through it. It was difficult
knowing he couldn’t do the things he love anymore. But I love his new outlook
in life, it was inspiring. He was living and embracing his life one moment at a
time.
Most people do have baggage, and these two has a lot on
their back. The girl who couldn’t grieve properly and couldn’t let go of her
past and the man who had grieved his past life and is trying to move on. I
thought it would have been a disaster for this two to meet. That it would have
been unhealthy for them to be together, but I was wrong. They were meant for
each other. He was good for her. They make each other feel so much than they
could have ever imagine. So yes, I was wrong. They were pretty good for each
other. She was the damsel in distress, and he was her prince charming.
Because
the way I feel when I’m around you is crazy. It’s out of control. I just want
to touch you. I want to be with you. All. The. Time.
They are the most unlikely couple, but they made it work.
The chemistry and affection was there. And just when they were just beginning to
live their HEA, something happened. Something that made my heart stopped, I
couldn’t stop reading! It was painful, excruciating and I was about to lose
hope of an HEA that both of them desperately deserved. Will fate give them a
chance?
Well-written, perfectly-paced and emotion-filled read. Butterfly Dreams is the kind of book
that will take you into an emotional journey and give you the unexpected.
