What would a respected Accountant and well-bred thirty-something man, want with a twenty-something house cleaner? Well that's the question Jade Johnstone asked herself. 

Reid Daniels was a man on her client list at DustBins Inc. A man that had inflamed her nights while she tried to sleep, interrupted with fantasies of what she wanted to do with him, all of which had nothing to do with dustpans and brooms.

Immediately the author, Marilyn Lee, weaves the reader into a cocoon of sensual fire when the heroine, Jade, arrives to clean Reid's house only to find him asleep, gorgeously naked and feverish on his bed. What was it about this man that made her act like a hussy?

Dream Lover by Marilyn Lee is a hot and spicy exploration of two people, vastly different to each other and carrying their own parcels of insecurity baggage. 

The problem starts when Jade is the type that wants happy ever after, the husband that loves her, the house filled with 2.5 children, surrounded by a white picket fence.

Unfortunately, Reid is on the other side of that fence, finding the whole marriage/commitment/love triangle more than a little frightening. And is just content to let things remain informal and lustful.

Dream Lover offers a read that would satisfy those that like their romantic story with a little more heat, a little more detail, yet still contain the traditional journey of will they/won't they. Lee entrances her reader with humour, honesty and well-defined characters.

Sometimes the dialog was unbelieveable, the insecurities of the heroine a little too repetitive but it didn't tarnish the fantasy of the read for too long.

A light read that will warm any romantic at heart.
