Dream Man

Dream Weavers, Book 1

By: Kimberly Dean

Narrated by: Shawn Goodman Jones

When darkness falls, Devon is pulled into a deeper realm. Each night, she dreams of him—her fantasy lover. She can feel his heated gaze and hear his deep breaths. His presence reaches out to her, yet as consuming as their shared desire is, they can’t connect.

Until she performs a love spell.

Cael is stunned when Devon appears on his cosmic plane, for he is one of the Oneiroi, the Greek gods of dreams. As a sleeper assigned to his care, it's his job to lead the beautiful redhead into REM sleep. Visiting her each night, though, has led to deeper feelings. He wasn’t supposed to fall in love with her, but he has. She just wasn’t supposed to be aware of him.

Now every night Devon visits Cael, their connection grows, but even the most innocent of spells can have repercussions. All around town, people are acting strangely. Tempers are short, and chaos is starting to reign. Nobody is dreaming. Nobody except Devon.

When her dream man shows up in flesh and blood, she has to decide if he’s really the man of her heart…or the demon of her nightmares.

A Dreamweaver and a Witch

The spell works as they intended but with unintentional side effects that threatens their lives. This book starts of slowly but starts picking up pace until it finishes with a satisfying HEA

Dream Man

Good book with pretty strong characters. Not much back story but with the way it's written it's not too missed. Pleasant narration that for the book.

Sweet and sexy!

Every night Devon is aware that she's being watched while she sleeps. She can sense him near her and last night, she caught his dark eyes looking at her with want. Frustrated that she can't reach out and touch him, she and her friend, Tasha, pay a visit to an herbalist to make a love potion. Devon has certain powers that she's aware of, such as premonitions that come true. What she doesn't know is that her powers are much more potent than she realizes and, by making a love spell, chaos will be unleashed. Cael is a Dream Weaver, responsible for helping his charges into REM sleep. Without that level of sleep, there are no dreams and dreams are necessary to maintain equilibrium within the humans they serve. Cael is falling deeply under Devon's spell but he doesn't realize that it's due, in part, to the love spell that she created. The many storylines that weave through each other are skillfully written, and all of them are tied up nicely in the end. The premise is intriguing and captivating; the characters are vibrant and colorful; the romance is passionate, seductive and hot. The only thing that could make this story better is an additional book! Shawn Goodman Jones does an impeccable job with the narration. His voice is clear and dynamic, and his intonation is perfect for each of the characters he brings to life.

Interesting Take on Sleep

Overall, this story wasn’t bad at all. However, Tasha, and later Devon, got on my nerves. I’m not sure if it was them or if it was maybe how the narrator portrayed them, but Tasha especially made me want to smack her just to get her to chill and listen. I get that she was sleep deprived but sheesh!!

Anyway, outside of that I did enjoy the story. I’ve been interested in mythology since I was little, so the idea of there being different entities for sleeping and dreaming was pretty interesting. It was also very well written with descriptions that made it very easy to “see” the scenes.

The narrator did a very good as well. He spoke very clearly and drew me in. I wouldn’t listening to more of his work.
