Description
What’s hotter than a sultry New Orleans night? For Lucy Ryan, not a thing. She’s having psychic erotic dreams of a man she’s never met. Then Justin Guidry saves her from a couple of killers and she recognizes him as her in dreams lover. She also dreamed the murder and tried to stop it but arrived at the scene too late. Now her life is at risk, and so is her heart.
Excerpt:
WHEN JUSTIN TURNED from the languid stream of the bayou and poled up to a floating dock, Lucy anxiously looked around.
Part of her expected to encounter the men who’d chased her into the swamp waiting for her, guns drawn. But they were nowhere in sight. Lucy breathed a little easier.
Justin jumped out onto the floating dock first and with a few twists of rope against a wooden post tied up the boat. Then he hooked the hull to the dock with one foot and offered her a hand and a smile.
Heart fluttering at the way he was looking at her — like he knew, for heaven’s sake, like he could read her mind about the dreams — Lucy reluctantly took his hand. Their physical connection was immediate and more intense than she would have imagined. Her palm felt scalded and as the sensation spread up her arm, she swayed slightly.
Justin easily pulled her right into him. The tips of her breasts brushed his chest, oh, so lightly, but her nipples immediately tightened and sent a warning to parts below. She squeezed her thighs together and awkwardly pushed past him.
“Are you all right, chère?”
The dock swayed under her, the motion adding to her already wonky stomach. “Yes, why?”
“You seem a little breathless,” he said, his voice low and warm as the sunshine. “I thought maybe the wound was letting you know it was there.”
"Yes, the wound….” She was lying, of course. She’d forgotten all about being shot. She shrugged and forced a smile. “Just a twinge. It’s fine now.”
"Good.” Placing a light hand at the small of her back, he started for the bank. “Watch your step here.”
Her quick jump to dry land — make that squishy land — was inspired by the touch of his hand. Being close to Justin was difficult enough. Allowing him to continue touching her would drive her nuts because the intimate contact would remind her of the hot dreams.
And then all she would want to do is tear off his clothes and see if the sex was as good as she’d imagined.
Nothing could be that good, she argued with herself. At least nothing in her experience had led her to believe that sex could be in the fireworks category.
But wouldn’t she like to find out?

First of all, Thanks to NetGalley for giving me a chance to read and review this book.
A Short Blurb:
ychic Lucy Ryan has always kept her so-called gift a secret. Until she "saw" a mysterious incident in a dream and tried to stop it--too late. Now she's having vivid, arousing dreams of making love with a sexy stranger. So when Justin Guidry--the man of her dreams--suddenly shows up in her life she isn't really surprised....
P.I. Justin offers to help Lucy figure out what's going on. But he isn't aware he's starring in all her nighttime fantasies...even as he's entertaining a few sexual fantasies of his own.
The nightmare begins with Lucy's next vision. She dreams that Justin has been shot while protecting her. Can she change the fate of the man she's now fallen in love with?
Cover Review:
The cover didn't have a special appeal or beauty. Its just a simple cover that might not have caught my attention had I been a 'judge the book by it's cover' kind of girl.
Review:
The novel itself begins with an erotic dream, making the main theme of the book pretty clear.
Though that's not what it's all about. There's a murder mystery to solve. And the author has done quite a nice work of combining the two.
Full of mystery, threat, passion and dreams, In Dreams is an exciting mix of themes that proved to be an entertaining read.
Though I wasn't able to really 'connect' with the characters, that's one fault I found in this otherwise awesome novel.
The best thing about this book was its pace. It didn't drag, not once. It was fast paced, full of action and that's what I always look for in a book.
4.5 Stars for its brilliance, its pace and everything else.

Another fun book by Patricia Rosemoor. In this one, set around New Orleans, you have Lucy, an artistic Art Mask maker, who has psychic dreams. Dreaming about a young woman being stabbed to death she awakens and rushes to the spot, only to arrive to late to save the woman, but able to see the killers. On the run, she flees to the bayou, and is saved by hunky Justin, a private investigator, who helps her solve the mystery of who and why the girl was murdered. Lucy has been having hot dreams about a man, and guess who he turns out to be? Yes, Justin. So let the sparks and games begin. Fun banter, fun read. A little quick read that is perfect for the summer. Highly recommend.

this book was fun to read, I liked the characters and the story line was very good. Real world situations made it believable. At times it felt a little stiff to me. It was well worth a read if you like a little bit of mystery and crime and a lot of romance.
