Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1998

"Dream Man" Marlie Keen was trying to lead a quiet, ordinary life. She thought the clairvoyance that allowed her to witness crimes as they happened had been destroyed in the nightmare of her past. Then one night it returned with a vengeance, and she desperately needed to find someone to make it stop. Detective Dane Hollister of the Orlando police department had never met anyone like Marlie. He had doubts about her clairvoyance, but there was no doubt how much he desired her. Her soft, sweet scent set his blood afire, and he wanted to wrap her in his arms and chase the sadness from her eyes. To Marlie, Dane was all heat and hard muscle, and he made her body come alive as it never had before. But not even she could foresee where their passion would lead: a hungry quest for the elusive, dreamy ecstasies of love...and a dangerous journey into the twisted mind of a madman who would threaten their happiness and their lives.... "After the Night" A poor, outcast child in Prescott, Louisiana, Faith Devlin had always adored the town's golden boy from afar. But he called her white trash that sultry Southern night when his rich, respected father disappeared, along with her pretty mom. Now Faith wanted to hate Gray Rouillard...not to feel a powerful surge of desire. But she couldn't quench her passion, any more than she could hide the truth about the past she had waited so long to unravel. Even when he raised hell, Gray Rouillard did it with style. Reckless, charming, and backed by Rouillard money, Gray controlled the town of Prescott -- and Devlin was a name he never wanted to hear again. But when he gazed at Faith Devlin, all he saw was a swirl of tangled sheets and her silken fleshbeneath him. To care for her was impossible, unthinkable...because Gray Rouillard planned to use all his power to ruin her.

Dream Man - In Orlando, Florida, Marlie Keen leads a quiet life after a brutal attack by a serial killer left her without her psychic powers. Now, however, a new killer brings all the horror back and Marlie, once again, sees everything the killer does through his eyes. Detective Dane Hollister (yum) doesn't believe her at first, and he even thinks she may be involved, since she can describe everything that happened in the killings. His attraction to Marlie, however, is undeniable, and as he moves in with her for protection, their relationship steams up, but the killer is still out there.

After the Night - Faith Devlin is one of the "trashy Devlins" in the town of Prescott, far removed from the Gray Rouillard, the golden boy whom she adores. One night, Faith's mother runs off with Gray's father and a furious Gray kicks the rest of the Devlins out of their tiny shack. Years later, Faith returns to Prescott, a self-made businesswoman, and must fight both her strong attraction to Gray and the mystery of what really happened that night.

If you like strong leads and stamy stories, this book is for you. Dream Man is probably my favorite book by Linda Howard, and although Gray is a little obnoxious here and there, he is a sweetie at heart.

Both of these books are on my 'all time favorites' list! I bought them when in their individual forms. To get both together is a great bonus! "Dream Man" is probably my favorite book of all times! I loved the characters and the story is great! Lots of suspense and romance. Some of the best love scenes! I highly recommend this book!

Pure Howard. Dream Man is creepy and chilling while managing to create a really charismatic couple. If you've ever fantasized about being the damsel in distress who rescues herself with the help of a slightly tarnished, well-muscled knight- Dream Man is for you. Just keep your lights on. After the Night starts out slowly with lots of background information that's important later on, but still ponderous. This one seems to want to be a thriller with good sex and only the sex part really works. The hero is VERY well-endow... uh, I mean, well-rounded, but I could have used a heroine who was a little less easy. She was more of a spitting kitten than the actual lioness needed by the hero. This is Howard at her sexiest, however, and the love/sex scenes are some of the best around.
