| Shay Coles is a woman having vivid dreams about a man named Mikhail and they are becoming more sexually charged with each night time vision. But Mikhail is no dream lover. He's a real flesh and blood man who comes to her shop and his presense causes her to become physically aroused each time he does.
What Shay doesn't know is that Mikhail has the same dreams as she. While he's familiar with the experience that's common among his kind, a joint Maerd Noisi dream vision, he has no idea why he's having them with Shay. She's a human and he's a different kind from somewhere else, on Earth for a vital mission. Needless to say, Shay is proving to be quite a distraction for him in his quest. But then things aren't quite what they seem... I initially didn't expect to enjoy this short work from a new author to me. The beginning offered a familiar plot device and there was a lot going on for a short story. I understood the necessity of the detail and explanation because it's the announced opening of a new series but I found I really had to concentrate to follow it. That being said, the author's writing style is appealing, her dialogue quite good, and she did develop a very strong, clever story. The sensual scenes didn't dominate the story I'm happy to say and they were also well written and satisfyingly erotic in nature. All in all, a good read and one that will have me watching for the next installment of The Immortal Blossom series.
