Description

A heart-pounding romantic suspense from RWA Lifetime Achievement Award–winning author Linda Howard—where passion, danger, and psychic visions collide.

Marlie Keen thought she had left her past—and her dangerous clairvoyance—behind. For years she’s tried to live a quiet, ordinary life, believing the “knowing” that allowed her to witness crimes in real time had vanished. But when the visions return with terrifying force, Marlie knows she needs help to control them…or risk being consumed.

Detective Dane Hollister of the Orlando Police Department is skeptical when Marlie claims to see crimes as they happen. Yet he can’t ignore the way she unsettles him—with her haunting vulnerability, her determination, and the electric attraction that sparks between them. For Dane, Marlie is both a mystery and a temptation, awakening a desire he can’t resist.

As their connection deepens, the investigation draws them into the twisted mind of a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to silence Marlie. Together, they must navigate a perilous path—balancing the searing heat of their passion with the deadly stakes of a relentless pursuit.

Dream Man is a seductive, edge-of-your-seat romantic thriller that blends sizzling chemistry with white-knuckle suspense, perfect for fans of Mr. Perfect and After the Night.

    I don't really know what to say about this book. It just really didn't do it for me. Very slow the detective is more of a brut and the female is just blah I didn't see how the too meshed. As for the killer I suppose I've felt the same way... But still didn't do it for me

    This book is awful. Pacing is slow, the serial killer is not scary at all, the suspense is as gripping as an overcooked noodle, the sexual tension (usually Ms. Howard's strong suit) is non-existent and the characters are annoying. The hero, Dale, has a self-congratulatory tone for his supreme hetero-maleness, so much so I actually wonder if he was actually in the closet with every single overcompensating word on him. As for Marlie, she was written so much to evoke sympathy that Ms. Howard pushed me the other way. I didn't feel sorry for her at all. She is cringe-worthy and an embarrassing caricature of a woman. When I read a description of her going catatonic during her psychic vision, I actually entertained the thought of Dale resting a coffee cup on her head for easy reach. It would have made an interesting scene at least and broken the tedium and torture I endured reading this drivel.
  • Really great!

    One of my favorites by Linda Howard. Have read this book over and over, and I love it. Story is great for the mystery/suspense aspects, but also great romance. Male character is a very strong alpha male, protective and herolike. Sexy.
