Dream Man

De: Linda Howard

Narrado por: Phil Gigante

A heart-pounding romantic suspense from RWA Lifetime Achievement Award–winning author Linda Howard—where passion, danger, and psychic visions collide.

Marlie Keen thought she had left her past—and her dangerous clairvoyance—behind. For years she’s tried to live a quiet, ordinary life, believing the “knowing” that allowed her to witness crimes in real time had vanished. But when the visions return with terrifying force, Marlie knows she needs help to control them…or risk being consumed.

Detective Dane Hollister of the Orlando Police Department is skeptical when Marlie claims to see crimes as they happen. Yet he can’t ignore the way she unsettles him—with her haunting vulnerability, her determination, and the electric attraction that sparks between them. For Dane, Marlie is both a mystery and a temptation, awakening a desire he can’t resist.

As their connection deepens, the investigation draws them into the twisted mind of a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to silence Marlie. Together, they must navigate a perilous path—balancing the searing heat of their passion with the deadly stakes of a relentless pursuit.

Dream Man is a seductive, edge-of-your-seat romantic thriller that blends sizzling chemistry with white-knuckle suspense, perfect for fans of Mr. Perfect and After the Night.

One of Howard’s best

Start to finish this is one of Susan Howard’s best books. The characters are well developed and engaging making them easy to picture. The story is well crafted and satisfying. It’s one book I’ll willingly reread.

Narration of female characters was bad & distracting to the storyline

Good suspense storyline bad narrative of female character. Affected the storyline ending. Female character appeared week through out

Meh. A potentially good story, but lacking.

Have to say, overall very disappointed with this book. Had the potential to be very good, but characters were a bit lacking, and the narration of the main female character was PAINFUL and cringe worthy! My teeth were on edge at his (sorry, Mr. Gigante) overly breathy, sappy interpretation of her. I think dual narration with a better female voice would have lended Marlie's character much more strength and believability. Not my favorite of Ms. Howard's books.

I loved every word ❤ need more of these two

is this a series it should be. more more more. let them come back pls

Plot

Awesome plot and storyline. Couldn’t stop listening to the book. Linda Howard is an amazing writer.

I See You

Can you have a perfect hard headed, no nonsense, stubborn man? If so, then Dane is your man. I love him and Marlie. That epilogue will forever live rent free in my heart.

Better to read it in print

I love Linda Howard’s writing. This book was originally published in print in 1994, and it reflects the decade in which it was written. If landlines, pagers and faxes, instead of mobile phones, texts and emails bother you, then this is not your book. 🤣 Regardless of decade, Linda‘s writing is as talented as ever here.

I enjoyed Phil Gigante at first, until he began to voice the FMC. He doesn’t seem to have the knack of voicing female characters without making them sound breathy, childlike, and weak. He did a great job at the male voices. Unfortunately, when I was looking for other books he has narrated, I found some disturbing criminal convictions in his past. I don’t think I’ll be putting my money towards anything else he’s narrated, whether I love the author or not.

Good story.

I’ve read this book several times. This is the first time I’ve listen to audio. I don’t mind the man’s voice, but he does portray the woman is whiny. I’ve noticed this before with men when they take on a woman’s voice sometimes it becomes whiny. I find that just a bit offensive. I’ve read several books that have both male and a female, which is my preference.

Great til the ending

SPOILER ALERT!!! Don't read this if you don't want to know the ending! I was REALLY loving this story, until the "hero" did the most UNheroic thing and totally lied to her and betrayed her and then thought it should just be ok! And the author actually let him get away with it!!! Sooooo incredibly disappointed in her! I love Linda Howard's books, but this guy was a HUGE disappointment! I know it's fiction, but come on, no woman worth her salt would have let that slide! He lied to her and freaking used her as BAIT for a serial killer! Knowing her history! And Knowing that even of it didn't get her killed by THAT killer, he was putting a target on her back for the rest of her life! And he got her fired from her job and she's gonna HAVE to move because of the publicity- ugh ugh ugh!!! Wow, such disappointing ending! The author could have had him get her cooperation with the stakeout, and still had all the drama that happened- I just thought this was a bad decision on her part, it REALLY made me just HATE the hero- I would have told him to go jump in a lake! How could you ever trust him again! Grrrrr!!

Male Narrator

The male narrator in this book just did not fit, it should have been a female. A female can do a man's voice better than a man can do a woman's voice
