Learning to adjust to "real" life like normal people was a struggle, but she did it. Now, just as she's beginning to feel comfortable in her own skin again, her power has locked in on the mind of a serial killer. Dane Hollister is a detective with the Orlando PD. He's a tough, no-nonsense, plain dealer with a soft spot for women of all ages, and he doesn't believe in psychics any more than he believes in Santa Claus. When a rapist slasher-murder starts targeting Orlando's ladies, he and his partner are at a loss until a waif-like, self-proclaimed "psychic" comes forward. Dane may have difficulty dis-believing in Marlie, but neither her "powers" nor the fact that he also finds her about the most attractive woman he's ever met will stop him from using her to catch a killer. Suspenseful and riveting. Places still give me chills every time I read it. Marlie is a lot stronger that she initially comes across, and Dane is a more likable bully than some of Howard's alpha males. ( )1  fssunnysd | Apr 28, 2008 | Over-all a good read. A steamy romance although dark, with the psychic look into a murderers mind. I would read it again. (  ) jonahfied | Jun 19, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
Never comfortable with her fame as an empath, lovely Marlie Keen has led a life free of clairvoyant incidents for several years. But her quiet, ordinary existence is shattered when the unwanted ability to read a murderer's mind returns with a vengeance. Knowing that publicity is sure to follow, Marlie nevertheless tells the police what she knows. Tough detective Dane Hollister first scoffs at her claim that she "sees" the serial killer who's terrorizing Orlando, but it doesn't take long to convince him that she's telling the truth. It takes even less time for him to recognize the attraction between himself and Marlie, but Marlie is incredibly vulnerable to the visions assaulting her and Dane must put his fierce desire on hold while he tries to track down a bloodthirsty madman.
A perfect example of why Linda Howard is a leading author of romantic suspense, Dream Man offers a plot that unfolds with precision, suspense that is taut and spine tingling, passion hot enough to peel paint, and breathtaking romance. This is Howard in top form. --Lois Faye Dyer
