During a trip to her family beach house, her dream man becomes her lover and Cassie finds herself longing for this man to be in her life. But trying to find out the truth about him leaves her questioning her very existence and sanity.
She is convinced her dream man is real and connected to a string of macabre murders over the last 20 years. Fearing for her life, Cassie prays she is right about him and that he can save her before it is too late.
I had won a Paperback copy of The Man of My Dreams on Gladys Quintal's Facebook page. It was already in my to read list so I was very eager to read it. Desperate even. I picked it up in the morning thinking to myself I would just read a chapter or two just to give myself a taster until the evening where I could continue it whilst led in bed listening to the wind and rain. But the two chapters led to another two, which got up to 143 before I had to put it down again. Which I hated. I was engrossed in every single page. I lingered on every single word. I needed to read more and fast so I fed my addiction with a chapter here and there, sneaking off to get caught up in Cassie's life. Her dream man was perfect. Who wouldn't want a vigilante vampire seducing them? I think the world would be a much better place with them around. :) I liked how everyone had a place in the story. The story was told by all the character's so you knew how they were feeling in their situation. I loved how the dream guy came to Cassie. And how he had stuck around keeping an eye on her for so long. I also like the sinister characters. Yes, this is my crazy self talking. The sweet maniac that you would never suspect in a Million years. But I also love when they get taken down :) Everything in the book played out in my mind as if I was really living it. I imagined how sexy the dream guy looked in dream land and how hideous he looked in reality. The criminals that lurk in the shadows then being torn to shreds.
I would recommend this book to everyone. It is very raunchy in places so maybe age 16+. I really enjoyed every single page of the book, probably why I finished it within hours. Probably the least amount of time I have ever taken to read a book, so it is worth the read :D
I give it a solid 5 Stars. Congratulations Gladys I look forward to reading more of your work in the future :D
In Dreams is about a girl named Katherine Johns who starts dreaming about a guy she has no clue who he is. All she knows is that he makes her feel all kinds of love. After telling her college roommate Taylor about the "Dream Guy", Taylor makes it her mission to scope out any guy that could actually be him.
I started reading In Dreams about 3 days ago. Not used to reading from the screen of my laptop I soldiered on through headaches and blurred vision.
First off, the characters. Taylor especially. I loved how honest she was. And equally crazy as her boyfriend Danny. Who were absolutely perfect for eachother. There wasn't really one character I didn't like apart from Kylie in a few places. The love between both couple and dream guy spewed out from every page. I felt my heart break and warm whenever Katherine's did in the book. It was so well written I felt like I was side by side with all of them walking through their lives. Also what I loved about "In Dreams" was how you know what everyone is thinking. Everyone has their own opinion and point of view in the book so you know how they are seeing it.
I literally had to wipe the tears of joy and heartache every 15 minutes.
I would highly recommend this book to everyone!!! It is a beautiful story that is easily enjoyable and I give it a 5/5. Well done J Sterling for writing a wonderful piece. I just hope I can dream up a guy as good as Cooper or Austen ;)
