2 1/2 stars
All He Ever Dreamed is the sixth installment of the Kowalski Family series.  I read a few books in this series, out of order of course, and like them.  I felt like they were good stand alones and did not feel the need to read the series in order.  I just didn’t connect to this Kowalski for some reason.  Maybe it was that I am reading the series out of order, but I felt distracted by this book. 

I felt that Josh spent most of his narrative wanting to separate himself from the lodge that this story didn’t feel real for some reason.  Katie was believable and I like the fact that she discovers that she has loved Josh all of he life.  The premise of this book was appealing and I love the idea of BFF’s falling for each other, but I just couldn’t get into this one.

Josh Kowalski is tired of holding down the fort—better known as the Northern Star Lodge—while his siblings are off living their dreams. Now that his oldest brother has returned to Whitford, Maine for good, Josh is free to chase some dreams of his own.
As the daughter of the lodge's longtime housekeeper, Katie Davis grew up alongside the Kowalski kids. Though she's always been "one of the guys", her feelings for Josh are anything but sisterly. And after a hot late-night encounter in the kitchen, it's clear Josh finally sees her as the woman she is.
Katie's been waiting years for Josh to notice her, but now that he has, she's afraid it's too late. Giving her heart to a man who can't wait to leave town is one sure way to have it broken. But Josh keeps coming up with excuses not to leave—could it be that everything he's ever wanted is closer than he could have imagined?
