In My Dreams<\/em><\/a> (2020) Elin Annalise (Aces in Love #1)<\/p>\n

\"InThe problem with a lot of ace stories, is they spend a lot of time defining and explaining asexuality.<\/p>\n

If it’s not done well, it’s a lot of “well, Bob” and gets boring really quickly.<\/p>\n

Polly and her best friend Brooke work at a nature reserve, doing work they love. But Polly wants to find love, and is pretty sure the only way she can do that is through ace hangouts–including the ace dating vacation she was scheduled to leave on–except that the flight of a group of dangerous criminals into the area puts everything on lockdown–just as Polly’s long-time crush has come to the reserve to research an article he needs to write for the paper.<\/p>\n

Characters<\/strong>: Polly Brady, Brooke Kao, Harry Weller, Grant, Evie, Morris, Jane, Sara, Bo, George<\/p>\n
