Title: Incredible Dreams
Author: S.E. Felida
Synopsis
Leona, a woman in her late twenties who has been dreaming
about a guy that she doesn't know finally sees him in real life one day, but
she doesn't approach him out of bizarreness of the whole situation and that
leaves her with an feeling of missed opportunity, so when life gives her a
second chance she grabs it with both hands. Nathaniel, a police officer who's
been on a hunt to find his brother's killer for over a year now turns out to be
a dreamguy in real life too, and while things are going great between the two
of them, Leona's long life friendship with her dear friend Naomi isn't.
Resenting the thought of having to choose between the two of them she and her
two friends Alyssa and Alexandra come up with an idea to whisk Naomi away for a
little holiday in the hopes that after they'd spend some quality time together
things would finally go back to the way it used to be, but it doesn't and when
Marcus, Naomi's current boyfriend who followed them out there confesses
something to Leona that she really wished he hadn't, she keeps finding it
harder and harder to even look her best friend in the eyes without feeling like
the worst friend ever...
Christine's Review
This is one of those times that you should definitely not judge a book by its cover. I read the synopsis and I was interested to know more about this one, it didn't have that cookie cutter feel to what I tend to always been drawn to. I really liked that the characters were multi-cultural . Leona and Nathaniel had some crazy hot chemistry. Nathaniel, the tongue pierced police officer who speaks spanish, yum...yes, please!
This story had a different flow and style then I'm use to but once I got past that which didn't take long, I was sucked into this suspenseful, dark twisted story. I liked that the whole story didn't revolve around the romance of the two characters, the author threw in some elements that kept me on my toes. I wasn't sure what direction the author was taking this story, as there were so many dark twists and just when you get some answers...she leaves us wanting more.
If you're looking for a different read with some suspense and hot steamy sexiness then I say give this one a chance.
I give this book 3.5 bookmarks.
Teaser
I woke a few hours later with someone’s hand on my throat, I thought that it was Nathaniel trying to seduce me for make-up sex, but before I got the chance to tell him I still wasn't in the mood, it started choking me. They were getting tighter and tighter, blocking my airway so I couldn't breathe. My eyes started to tear up and my vision went blurry, I had to struggle to even keep them open.
My room was almost pitch black, but a sliver of light shined through my bedroom door and gave me a glimpse of my attacker. I stared at the woman and was sure that the lack of oxygen was making me delusional, it couldn't be her. My attacker could not be Naomi, not my best friend. Not my sister.
Tears poured down my cheeks as I realized I was right. I wasn't dreaming or going crazy and I couldn't understand it. The room started spinning and I felt like I was going to pass out.
Seconds later, Alex and Alyssa ran into the room to investigate the commotion. Nate was trying to pull her off, but she somehow seemed to be stronger than him. Alex was crying at her to stop but she wouldn't budge, she just stared at me with an unfamiliar anger in her eyes. The same anger we saw earlier at the club. Pulling and shouting at her clearly wasn't working, so Alyssa grabbed Nathaniel’s stun gun from his jacket pocket and shot volts of electricity through our friend. She instantly fell to the floor, unconscious.
No one had seen her reach for the gun, so the severity of the action shocked us all. Alyssa dropped to the floor and leaned over the still body. “I’m so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't know what to do. Please forgive me, wake up.” She sobbed.
