Dream Girl Drama (Big Shots #3)
by Tessa Bailey
4 out of 5 stars
Tessa Bailey delivers another fun and flirty romance in Dream Girl Drama, the third installment in the Big Shots series. With her signature blend of steamy chemistry, witty banter, and heartfelt emotion, Bailey crafts a fast-paced story that pulls readers into the world of professional hockey.
The book follows Sig, a rising hockey star, and Chloe, an ambitious musician, as they navigate their undeniable attraction despite the complicated reality of their parents’ impending marriage. Their connection is sizzling from the start, with an intense mix of forbidden romance and emotional depth. While the step-sibling angle adds to the tension, Bailey handles it in a way that keeps the drama engaging rather than off-putting.
Sig is a swoon-worthy hero—protective, devoted, and willing to go the extra mile for Chloe, even if it means making difficult sacrifices. Chloe, on the other hand, is a vibrant character with an Elle Woods-like charm, though her reliance on others at times can be frustrating. The romance is high-stakes, filled with angst and heat, but the relationship progression at times feels rushed, making the emotional depth slightly weaker than expected.
One of the book’s biggest strengths is the way Bailey weaves in the sports element, though some readers might wish for more focus on Sig’s hockey career. The external conflicts and family dynamics add layers to the story, but certain moments feel over-the-top and melodramatic. Despite this, Dream Girl Drama is an addictive, bingeable read with plenty of swoon-worthy moments and sizzling tension.

Forbidden romance
Dysfunctional family dynamics
Charismatic, over-the-top heroines

While not without its flaws, Dream Girl Drama is an entertaining, fast-paced romance that delivers all the tension, spice, and drama readers expect from Tessa Bailey.
