Wild Dreams starts by setting some history for the story of Oliver, Gavin and Erin to unfold.
Oliver, aka Ollie, was born in to a family of two dads and one mom. That is all he has ever known and he is hoping for the same for himself one day.
Gavin is Ollie’s foster brother. He was physically abused by his mother at a very young age. He is not into women, having only relations with men. He keeps to himself, except for the night he opened up to Ollie when they were 18.
After that night, Ollie knew he and Gavin were meant to find the right woman and become a threesome. But Gavin says no. He denies that is what he wants, until Erin.
Ollie has been open and honest with Erin from the beginning. She is worried she will not be enough for him if Gavin never joins them. Even though Ollie keeps reassuring her that she is all he needs.
When the bar catches on fire and the apartments above it, where Ollie and Gavin live, are severely damaged, the brothers must find a new place to live. Since Erin’s roommate just moved out, she offers her place. Gavin is hesitant, but he agrees short term. Little does he know what is in store for him.
Things will happen, experiences will be shared, and emotions will be mixed as these three navigate their new living arrangement.
When Gavin’s past comes back will it haunt or heal him? I think it will surprise you to see who his biggest advocate is.
Please note, there are triggers in this story. Specifically, child abuse and neglect. It is heartbreaking to listen to Gavin’s backstory and how it affected him physically, mentally and emotionally.
This is my second Oliver Highpoint narration. I’m finding that I enjoy listening to his voice. It has been awhile since I have listened to Lee Daniels, but I love her voice as Erin. Finally, Connor Brown is a new to me narrator. His voice gives off a gruff, but vulnerable sound, which is perfect for his character. These three work very well in this story. They bring the characters to life, along with all of the feelings and emotions.
