“I agree with all the other readers, wonderful book. Romance, mystery and thriller all rolled into one. Since my family has always had a touch of ESP it all sounded plausable to me.”

Marlie Keen is a psychic, but has had six years of freedom from the awfulness of her visions, held down a job and lived a rather normal life in Orlando. Suddenly, she is crushed by a terrible vision of a brutal murder. When she goes to the police department to report what she has seen and felt, Detective Dane Hollister and she didn't hit it off well at all. He thought Marlie was too bitchy, even though there was a certain something about her that he wanted - and he didn't believe in that psychic stuff, anyway - and she thought pretty much the same of him. But when he eventually has to check into her further (and take a plane trip to the state of Washington to do it), his belief in her abilities starts to grow, as does his attraction to Marlie. By the time Dane's done something about the attraction, Marlie has realized that he has a particular something she can't ignore - and a full-fledged relationship looks like it's developed.
Meanwhile, the killer is still busy - he has eluded the police, who are stumped. In the end, he learns why he has been found out, and determines he'll take care of it - and Marlie is his intended victim.
The suspense was intense at the end - and the characters and story were so well done. Excellent book.”
“Pretty good early Linda Howard....about a clairvoyant.”

When Marlie has visions after 6 years of succeeds at keeping them at bay, she is confused if they are just flashbacks. But when she sees the news and knows they are visions she goes to the police department and tells them what she saw.
Unable to understand the wild crime with no leads Detective Dane Hollister is upset.But he can not believe what Marlie is saying and decides that she maybe an accomplice and has to fight the attraction he feels for her . When they find out about her past he starts believing her, and has no reason to stay away. Taking the excuse of his house being renovated, he shifts with Marlie.
But now Dane has to catch the murderer before he gets Marlie and he has to make her trust him and stay in his life.”
“From the time her special gift was discovered at the age of four, Marlie Keen was destined to live a life far from the ordinary. As an empath, she has grown up suffering the scrutiny and, often times, disdain of those who think she's a freak of nature. Now after her life was nearly ended at the age of twenty by a madman, Marlie has finally lived a much-craved normal life free of her any psychic incidents - until it was shattered one Friday night by visions of a horrific murder.

With the police bereft of any evidence, Marlie knows that she's the only one who can lead them to the murderer. Armed with her vision, she walks in to the station and tells them what she saw. And as expected, she is met by disbelief. But no one was more skeptical than tough detective Dane Hollister, who is set in unveiling Marlie as the killer's accomplice. But does he find himself in a bit of a shock, the likes of which he has never encountered in his nine years in the force, for when Marlie proves herself genuine, Dane is faced with the biggest case of his life - that of stopping the serial murderer who is now after Marlie, but most importantly, winning Marlie's heart.
DREAM MAN is a suspense romance that will have you glued from the first chapter. The story flows well and Marlie's psychic visions add a lot of suspense to the story. The plot unfolds perfectly and will have you almost at the edge of your seat waiting for the killer's next move. Having read a few of her books, Linda Howard never fails to amaze me with the thorough research she puts into her work, and in this book, we see it in the way she profiles the killer that I found myself hanging on to every word and painting a picture in my head of what the killer looks like.
Now suspense part aside, DREAM MAN also offers some entertainment in the heated exchanges between the main characters, which we see from the time they meet. I absolutely enjoyed how Dane is reduced to acting like an untried teenager around Marlie and the way his partner constantly ribbed him about it. I really had great fun reading about the characters, the attraction they have for each other is quite intense and the author has included some pretty scorching love scenes that burn the pages. (And Linda Howard knows how to REALLY burn the pages!)
I cannot get enough of this author and look forward to reading her other novels. ”
“One of my favorite Linda Howard books, this is Dane and Marlie's story. Oh, what an alpha male. :)”

I LOVE Linda Howard books. I haven’t read a book by her that I haven’t liked, and boy can she write an alpha male. Her stories are rich, full of emotion and she really connects to the reader. This story in particular was so well written, you feel the struggles of both Dane and Marlie and when the end of the book comes, LH rewards the readers with a great HEA. I am really looking forward to reading her MacKenzie family.””
