Dream Man

by Linda Howard

Had she finally met the man she longed for...or was she dreaming?
Marlie Keen was trying to lead a quiet, ordinary life. She thought the knowing -- the clairvoyance that allowed her to witness crimes as they happened -- had been destroyed in the nightmare of her past. Then one night it returned with a vengeance, and she desperately needed to find someone to make it stop.
Detective Dane Hollister of the Orlando police department had never met anyone like Marlie. He had doubts about her clairvoyance, but there was no doubt how much he desired her. Her soft, sweet scent set his blood afire, and he wanted to wrap her in his arms and chase the sadness from her eyes. To Marlie, Dane was all heat and hard muscle, and he made her body come alive as it never had before. But not even she could foresee where their passion would lead: a hungry quest for the elusive, dreamy ecstasies of love...and a dangerous journey into the twisted mind of a madman who would threaten their happiness and their lives....

Another fave that I re-read at least once a year! Still good after all this time.

I've got mixed feeling about this one. I loved the heroine. The serial murderer plot kept me interested. The side characters were interesting. It was all really good.



Then we have the hero. He started out as a self-important douche noodle, and I was thinking "Man this dude is such a prick" But then he got better, and I warmed up to him. That's until we find out that he had been basically planning on using her as bait since the very beginning of their relationship. After everything the poor heroine had been through, this dick-face thought it was A-OK to use the woman he is supposed to love as bait for a serial killer. WTF!? All my warm and fuzzy feelings dried up licky-split. Of course, the heroine forgives him WAY to easily. She should have stabbed his devious self-centered ass with a spork!



Overall I enjoyed most aspects of the book, but the hero dropped this down a star. I'll definitely read more books by this author, though.

I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy this book as much as I did when I first read it but I did. I adored Dane, grumpy sexy man. I loved the protectiveness he showed toward Marlie and I liked watching them fall for each other at the same time that Dane was trying to protect Marlie and Marlie was trying to help him solve the case. Linda Howard older romantic suspense novels are great entertainment and I'm glad that I read this one again.

And Holly, I claim him. ;)
