Cinderella meets Cyrano in this pitch-perfect YA rom-com that is a celebration of Black joy, first crushes, and putting your heart on the line for love.

Darren Johnson lives in his head. There, he can pine for his crush--total dream girl, Delia Dawson--in peace, away from the unsolicited opinions of his talkative family and showboat friends. When Delia announces a theme song contest for her popular podcast, Dillie D in the Place to Be, Darren's friends--convinced he'll never make a move--submit one of his secret side projects for consideration.

After the anonymous romantic verse catches Dillie's ear, she sets out to uncover the mystery singer behind the track. Now Darren must decide: Is he ready to step out of the shadows and take the lead in his own life?


  • A Modern Cyrano Retelling: Darren has the lyrics, but he's too shy to tell Delia they're from him. When his song goes viral, he has to decide whether to stay in the shadows or claim his words--and the girl.
  • Shy Hero x Popular Girl: He's a quiet musician who lives in his head; she's the host of a popular podcast everyone listens to. He's been crushing forever, but his anonymous song is the only thing brave enough to speak for him.
  • Podcast Romance: When Delia Dawson launches a theme song contest for Dillie D in the Place to Be, she has no idea her secret admirer is the one behind the anonymous track everyone is falling for.
  • A Celebration of Black Joy: A funny, heartfelt, and pitch-perfect high school romance that puts supportive friends, loving families, and Black creativity front and center.

Absolutely Enchanting!
Format: Kindle
This really is an enchanting story because it reads like an adult Disney movie. I sooooo fell in love with the characters. Of course, Savanna and Kyle rule the roost in this one. Kyle is my new favorite character. Melissa has such a knack for bringing her characters to life and she was over the top with this book. Every person was integral to the story and it was wonderful to catch up with two well knowns from a previous book. This is a perfect example of a "second chance" and it really is a magnificent book. Loved it and is worthy of many more than just 5 stars!

Dreamy
Format: Kindle
This was such a fun read! The story is full of quirky characters, witty dialogue and intriguing drama..... all wrapped up in steamy chemistry. Savanna and Kyle's meet cute and subsequent romance doesn't follow the typical " and they lived happily ever after" script. This makes for a story with interest twist and turns. You know the author did a great job of bringing the story to life when you're left with the feelings of, " I want to live in that town; I want to be part of that friend group. This story did that for me. Bravo!

Sweet second-chance romance
Format: Kindle
When You Smile was my introduction to Melissa Brayden’s writing, and Dream a Little Dream confirmed that this author creates lovely stories with amazing characters. This book was a sweet second-chance romance with enough sad moments to make me shed some tears. It also has a surprise reveal that I didn’t see coming and a small-town community that made me feel warm and cozy. I loved Kyle and Savanna. Their first meeting nearly got me giggling, but I was definitely kicking my feet and smiling like a fool. Savanna was endearing and had a knack for public announcements. I felt deeply for her and truly understood her reaction after getting hurt. As for Kyle… is there a word to describe her? I could feel her aura bleed through my screen. Her flirting and ability to get through Savanna’s defense left me swooning one or two times. I honestly don’t know how Savanna managed to stand on business so 10 out of 10 for her effort. I really enjoyed Dream a Little Dream and can’t wait to read another Melissa Brayden’s book.

Wonderful
Format: Paperback
This was a hard book to put down. The characters of Svanna & Kyle are so well developed, as our their families and friends, who just enhance the whole story. When Savanna is left on the bridge, my heart broke, was amended later, and fulfilled by the end of the book.

Dream…
Format: Kindle
I loved this book right from the get-go. The snappy repartee between Savanna and Kyle made me laugh and shiver with delight all through this book. Toss in all the great characters in Dreamers Bay and I was sold! Wonderful story, great plot twists, fantastic highs and lows. A true smorgasbord of emotions. Thanks Melissa…
