Daydream

About This Audiobook

Hannah Grace’s *Daydream* is the kind of romance that sneaks up on you—sharp, sweet, and effortlessly funny, like catching your best friend in a moment of unguarded kindness. Set against the gritty backdrop of Maple Hills University’s hockey scene, this standalone follows Henry Sutter, a third-year player coasting on his reputation, and Elsie Whitaker, a whip-smart grad student drowning in her thesis and a pile of late-night diner shifts. Their meet-cute? A mutually beneficial arrangement: Henry needs to seem serious to secure a coaching internship, and Elsie needs someone to help her fake her way through her grandmother’s relentless matchmaking. What starts as a transactional deal quickly spirals into something messier, messier, and—against all odds—genuinely touching.

The real magic here is Grace’s knack for balancing rom-com antics with emotional weight. The banter crackles, the slow-burn tension simmers, and the stakes feel real, even when the situations are delightfully ridiculous. Elsie’s dry wit and Henry’s gruff charm make them a duo you’ll root for, while the side characters—particularly Elsie’s chaotic found family—add layers of humor and heart. If you’re tired of romances where everything clicks into place too neatly, *Daydream*’s organic, flawed progression will feel like a breath of fresh air.
