Summary: A Great Story
Review: Dream Man is my idea of romance heaven. The characters are superb, the plot is cleverly constructed, and the dialogue is hot and witty.Marlie Keen is a great female lead. She is bright, kind-hearted, brave and just a little vulnerable. She thought she had lost her clairvoyant powers six years ago when a killer attacked her, but now they have returned. She goes to the police after a terrifying vision of a stabbing murder. At the police station she meets Dane Hollister, a vibrant, honest, cynical cop who has enough sex appeal to send shivers running up and down your spine. Dane is mocking of Marlie's claims, but after investigating her past he realises that she is genuine. As soon as Dane realises Marlie is innocent he starts a no-holes barred campaign to win her over. Dane comes across as a real ALPHA male; tough, strong and brave and yet besotted with Marlie. In other words, a man completely deserving of the title HERO. Overall Dream Man is a wonderful book that I reread time and time again. It is clear that Dane and Marlie are meant for each other and their passion and love leaps out of the pages. The only thing I don't like about this book is the epilogue, which comes across to me as silly and makes Dane look rather weak rather than funny. I'd recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a romance with a protective, alpha male who is not a nasty tough guy but a kind and genuine guy. JoAnne

Summary: Great Linda Howard Novel
Review: Linda Howard is one of my favorite authors. I will pretty much read anything with her name on it. Still, you have to like her style of writing. The story lines tend to change, but the basic premise is always there. Heroine meets man, he usually has a few issues, and they must learn to love and trust each other with whatever plot Ms. Howard has thrown in. I personally like the way she maneuvers these types of novels. In Dream Man you meet Marlie Keen who is a psychic trying to live a quiet life away from everyone she knows. She is very much a loner with no friends or relatives that she enteracts with. Although Marlee used to work in the psychic field, she left because she was almost killed while helping the police solve a crime years ago. Guess what? Marlie witnesses "psychicly" a murder and feels compelled to go to the police. At the police station she meets hunky Detective Dane. Dane is your basic gruff workaholic cop who at first believes Marlie is nuts, and then believes she's a suspect. As he follows her around town and has her investigated, he ultimately comes to believe in her ability. Now he will have to work with her as they try to track down a serial killer. The characters are good, the story line flows and I read this book in one sitting. I would recommend.

Summary: marie
Review: Well let's start with what the story is about. Marlie Keen has the ability to see things as their happening. After "seeing" a murder take place she goes to the police for help. There she meets Detective Dane Hollister. He doesn't believe her at first but then is present when she has one of her visions. While trying to find out who the killer is Dane and Marlie begin a relationship. The killer ultimately finds out about Marlie and decides to take care of that little problem (ie. Marlie). I'm not going to tell you the end so you'll just have to buy the book. Now to why I really liked this story. What really stood out was how much research Linda Howard did in writing her police characters. I am a Homicide Detective and I cannot tell you how it annoys me when writers always "get it wrong" when describing police officers. I was pleasently surpirsed to find that the police characters were dead on. How they acted with civilians, how they interacted with other officers. If you want to know how cops act then read this book. The only part I didn't like was when Dane set up Marlie with the press to get the killer to reveal himself without telling her. That would not have happened. If something like that would have been done then she (Marlie) would have been asked to participate and precautions would have been made. And then the part about putting Marlie in jail for her "own protection." I can't see that happening either. If she refused protective custody and they incarcerated her I see lawsuits on the horizon. Second, I love how Linda Howard described Marlies abilities. It was pretty intense. The interactions between Dane and Marlie were pretty good also with Dane being the typical Linda Howard male (I see what I want and it's mine.) Over all it was a good read and will keep you up late at night.
