Dream Lover

Té Russ



This is the first book from this author that I have read and I was pleasantly surprised.  Dream Lover was well written and thought out for the most part.  The hero and heroine were relatable and the secondary characters were well written.  Most of the lovemaking takes place off the page.  A few things distracted or disrupted my reading a bit.  The character voice changed from hero to heroine without a clear break at times so I had to reread the previous paragraph.  There was one character that was introduced that I feel that their presence was not resolved but I’m guessing that it may be addressed in one of the related books.  But overall I was impressed by this author’s first work  On my personal scale I would give this book 4 purple roses.
