Summary: Sweet dreams
Review: It's the 10 year High School class reunion and it's time for
the duckling to make an appearance. But the catch this time
is that there will be no swan, instead he turned into a bird
of prey who was quite debonair. Jared Wilkes paced in his
Manhattan apartment comtemplating what to wear, he wanted to
make a good impression but he did not want to overkill.

Ten years ago Jared had a mad crush on high school beauty
queen, Daria Mitchell. But Jared was a nerd and he was too
shy and insecure to approach her. So Jared's older brother
Chapper, a high school and all-state basketball star added
her to his list of groupies.

Daria has been living in California pursuing her dreams as
an up and coming actress, but she is looking forward to the
reunion. Jared, works as a senior bonds trader for a
Manhattan firm. He is going home, but only because Daria will
be there. Jared never really got over the crush he had on her
and he's now ready to get up-close and personal.

Ms Laudat, has written an interesting twist to this coming
of age story for one shy young man who finally gets an
opportunity to share his feelings with his high school
fantasy. But his brother Chapper is living back at home and
he uses his old charms and a few new habits to create a firey
sibling rivalry. Will Jared finally beat his brother and
wake from his dreams to a promising and real tomorrow?
