After reading Patt Marr's first book, "Angel In Disguise," I was hoping to find the same combination of "real life" struggles and uncertainities mixed with humor in her second inspirational story, "Man of Her Dreams." She didn't disappoint me.

"Man of Her Dreams" is the story of Meg and Ry, two people with flaws, strengths, doubts, and the desire to do the right thing while searching for true love. Marr has fully developed these characters, and she makes it easy for us to identify with them. More importantly, we see how God is working out His plan for Meg and Ry even when circumstances seem impossible. And isn't that how it should work in the real world?

It was exciting to see what each new chapter would bring...it's one of those books you don't want to put down. And if you read Marr's first book, you'll be happy to see those characters reappear as secondary characters in this new one.

We can only hope Patt Marr will continue to turn out books of this caliber...and perhaps we'll be lucky enough to see Meg and Ry again.

When the producer of the (fictional) hit television show "Dream Date" renews her acquaintance with childhood friend and now paramedic Ry Brennan, some sparks fly and attraction is instant. Producer Meg Maguire (not Meg Talbot as is printed on the back of the book) has reservations about Ry Brennan being the man of her dreams.

But spiced with humor at times and true-to-life character development, events progress toward a great conclusion. Enough great characters are presented that I hope there are many sequels written for future publication.

I recommend this book not only for the story, but for the points it makes about love and marriage and friendship, and the inter-relationships of all three. Well written and very believable.

Good servies. Reseved it within the time frame thats was set for the shippment.

The story of Ry and Meg was, at times, quite predicatable for me.

That being said, I still give it four stars because it was a very enjoyable story with characters and situations that the reader can relate to. It was a nice, relaxing book that I could just read for face value, and not have to search for the "deeper meaning" of each little phrase or situation.

If you're looking for a an enjoyable story about real characters, give this one a try. It will hook you into the world of "inspirational romance".

The plot is good, the characters are well-rounded. But the story does not have PACE. It slows down way to quickly than all the sudden, we're on the roller coaster again. There is no basic guidline for pace. It is constantly changing. Not something you want to do in a romance.

Meg wants to find Mr. Right. Easier said than done. She has looked all over for the past year, but at a New Years Eve party, her best friend, Ry Brennan turns up....handsome. Ry is surprised at Meg's features as well. A relationship forms....as best friends. Ry's feelings are known by the reader and Meg's are revealed. But, the characters mindset changes alot. I felt that it was very...bumpy. Up and down, not slowly creeping somewhere. Constantly bouncing your mind to different ideas.

Overall, it was a good book. But, take note Marr...pace is key, not a huge detail, but to a bibliophile like myself it has me questioning if your other books will be the same.
