her and wants her dead. Since she escaped her abusive life
as a child, Rowan hides her identity as a Kyndred and her
ability to "dreamveil". She prefers her life as a loner and
doesn't trust anyone. When she meets sexy restaurant owner
and world-class chef Jean-Marc Dansant, he comes to her
rescue. Grateful, Rowan lets her guard down. He offers her
a job in his restaurant and a place to stay while his other
tenant fixes her bike. Rowan is attracted to Dansant's
French accent and dark hair. But her new equally sexy
neighbor intrigues her and frightens her. A friendship
builds between her and both men. But just as her new life
becomes normal, her old life haunts her.
Bounty hunter Sean Meridien is hired by an old millionaire
who wants Rowan back at GenHance corporation where Rowan's
life started. When Meridien meets Rowan and gets close to
her, his feelings and his strong physical attraction toward
her overrule his head. But he is quickly reminded of his
task of bringing her back at any cost. He must now decide
to protect Rowan with his own life or hand her over to his
boss without question.
Author Lynn Viehl 's DREAMVEIL is filled with twists, turns
and hot love scenes. The author succeeds in describing the
heroine's world with great detail, and immerses the reader
with every page. Rowan is feisty, strong and determined.
Sean Meridien is sexy and courageous. The unique characters
make for a good story filled with intrigue. Although the
story was a bit slow moving at times because of some
secondary characters' point of view, the action made this
romantic urban fantasy a good read.
Rowan Dietrich grew up on the streets. Now she's out to
start anew, find a job-and keep her identity as a Kyndred
secret, as well as her ability to "dreamveil" herself into
the object of others' desires.
But Rowan isn't
using her gift when world-class chef Jean-Marc Dansant is
stricken by her beauty and strength. And when dark secrets
from her past threaten her new life and love, Rowan realizes
she can't run forever...
