Romance Paranormal

When she crashes her bike in a New York restaurant alley, Rowan Dietrich knows it's not accident. Someone is watching 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.
