BOOK SYNOPSIS

Every time she closes her eyes, he’s there…waiting for her.

Working night shift at a mental hospital was never Brandi Connelly’s dream job, but in order to pay her grandmother’s medical bills she’s willing to do whatever she has to. Her new job seems like a piece of cake, there is only one thing keeping her from enjoying it – Draken Barrand, a patient.

Thoughts of her patient haunt her night and day and she’s too embarrassed to tell anyone about the strange dreams she’s having about him. Partly because she’s afraid they will think she’s crazy…mostly because the things that go on while she’s sleeping make her blush.

As the nightly visions become all too real she’s afraid they’re not dreams at all. If these nightly fantasies are real, that means everything her dream lover has told her is real, which means that the little mating ritual she so excitedly participated in was real. Soon she will change into a demon and there’s nothing she can do about it.

Claimed and marked, she now belongs to a creature of the night. There’s just one upside to this – he’s trapped behind the walls of a mental institution. That means she has time to figure out a way to stop the change… well, she would’ve had time, if her mate hadn’t broken out of his cell.

He’s tired of being alone.

Draken Barrand is determined to claim his mate. There’s just one problem - he’s unlawfully trapped behind the walls of a mental institution. The only way he can reach her is through her dreams, where he claims her and marks her as his own. But his mate’s life is threatened when the Leader of his Legion finds out about his unlawful mating.

Will Draken be able to break free of his cell in time to save his woman? If he does, will she finally accept him as the man of her dreams and her reality?

EXCERPT


Though his demon couldn’t fully emerge, Draken still pulled back and stared down at his woman. She blinked up at him. The lust she felt showed in her expression. He wanted to satisfy her, wanted to slate her lust then tease her body until it returned.

“Why did you stop? I didn’t want you to stop.”

Both man and beast growled with pleasure. She didn’t want him to stop. Her confession made his confidence soar. It was a miracle he hadn’t scared her away with his inexperience. If he did it right, maybe she wouldn’t notice that this was his first time.

Taking a deep breath, he silently begged his beast to be patient. There was something he wanted to do to her, something he’d dreamed of doing since he first smelled her scent. He would do it now, before he lost the nerve.

“Lie down on the pillows,” he told her. “I want to taste the rest of you.”
MY REVIEW:

HER DREAM LOVER WAS A HOT, EROTIC, AND PARANORMAL ROMANCE THAT DREW ME IN FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE UNTIL THE VERY END.  WE ARE INTRODUCED TO BRANDI WHO IS A SHY QUIET WOMAN WHO HAS A VERY LOW SELF-ESTEEM.  SHE GETS A JOB AT A MENTAL WARD TO PAY HER BILLS AND HER GRANDMOTHER'S HOSPITAL BILLS.  THERE SHE MEET DRAKEN, A PATIENT WHO REALLY IS A DEMON.  BRANDI IS CONSTANTLY THINKING AND DREAMING ABOUT DRAKEN THOUGH SHE CAN'T TELL ANYONE OF HER DREAMS FOR FEAR THAT THEY WOULD THINK HER CRAZY.  DRAKEN REALIZES HE HAS FOUND HIS MATE BUT THE ONLY WAY THAT HE CAN CLAIM AND MAKE HER HIS IS THROUGH HER DREAMS.  WILL DRAKEN BE ABLE TO PROTECT HER ONCE THE LEADER OF HIS LEGION FINDS OUT ABOUT HIS UNLAWFUL MATING?

I AM A BIG FAN OF PARANORMAL ROMANCES AND I REALLY ENJOYED THIS STORY.  I LOVED THE DIFFERENT PARANORMAL CREATURES THAT SIREN HAS THROUGHOUT THE STORY.  I LOVED THE STORYLINE THAT DEMONS LIVED AMONG US AND LOOKED JUST LIKE US.  I FOUND MYSELF FEELING SORRY FOR BRANDI WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN DIFFERENT.  SHE WAS SO QUIET, SHY AND DIDN'T FEEL LIKE ANYONE WOULD WANT HER.  DRAKEN CHANGES THAT AND ONCE SHE REALIZES WHO SHE REALLY WAS, IT GAVE HER STRENGTH AND SHE BECAME A VERY STRONG WOMAN.  BRANDI GAVE DRAKEN THE DESIRE TO LIVE AGAIN.  SHE BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN HIM.  DRAKEN WOULD DO ANYTHING TO BE WITH HIS MATE AND TO PROTECT HER.

SIREN HAS CREATED SUCH A MAGICAL WORLD IN HER DREAM LOVER.  THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL CHARACTERS AND IT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING AT TIME ESPECIALLY WHEN BRANDI WAS PUTTING UP SUCH A FUSS.  I HAVE READ SEVERAL OF SIREN'S BOOKS AND I HAVE NOT BEEN DISAPPOINTED. I LOVE HER STYLE OF WRITING AND THE PARANORMAL ASPECT OF HER STORIES.  IF YOU ARE A BIG FAN OF PARANORMAL ROMANCES AND WANT TO READ A BOOK THAT WILL STEAM UP THE PAGES THEN I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ HER DREAM LOVER.  YOU WILL NOT DISAPPOINTED.  I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES AND MORE OF SIREN'S BOOKS.  4 STARS

CHARACTER BIOS

Draken Barrand:
Trapped in a mental institution, Draken has never experienced the outside world. There's been no first kiss for him, no first job, no first crush. The poor demon hasn't even tasted chocolate before. All of that changes when he meets Brandi. With new sensations coursing through his body, he's determined to claim her. First, he has to break out of the psych ward. Second, he has to learn to calm his inner beast. Both man and beast want a taste of Brandi. They refuse to let an annoying thing like cell bars and demonic rules keep them away from her.

Brandi Connelly:
Curvy with a hint of sass, Brandi has spent most of her life hiding in the shadows. Picked on as a kid because she was a little heavier than the popular girls, Brandi believed she would never meet a man who would appreciate her, curves and all. To her surprise, she finds that and more in Draken Barrand. Too bad he's a patient in the psych ward. Oh yeah, and he's a demon. Go figure. Did I mention she's his mate?

Josphe Barrand:
He's the Leader of the Legion. He doesn't have time for love, friends or even family. The only thing on his mind is getting the job done. He's willing to kill to make sure he achieves his goal. The only thing in his way is his cousin Draken and Draken's new mate. But they won't be in his way for long. Killing them will be easy. Or so he thinks...
