Not bad. Not bad at all. A little over-dramatic but still immensely enjoyable. I really liked the background, the plot and the characters, specially Paul. Weird right? 'Cause Kian was the sexy bad boy, the impulsive and passionate one. But Paul, he had a special place in my heart, I tell you. He was cold and confident but also unsure and innocent. Such different sides in him. It intrigued me and entertained me and I loved him. For me he was a better character because he was difficult to understand even when he was being predictable. And I really liked the HEA. It was perfect for the story. Open enough to make us wish for more. I probably wouldn't have picked up this book, if hadn't been for the bingo challenge category - well that, and the strong reviews it had from my friends! As it turns out, I was right to trust my friends as I really enjoyed this novel.Paul is a lawyer, cold and unfeeling, but ruthlessly efficient. He doesn't know that he is a dream walker, who, whilst dreaming, solves puzzles and mazes when no-one else cares or can. All he knows, as he doesn't remember details, is that he has no dreams of his own - and his dreams always force him to solve the puzzle before he can awaken. It is in one of these dreams, that he finds Kian, and sets him free. Kian, an incubus, takes 4 years to both gather strength and then find Paul, the man to whom he owes his freedom. He is an old incubus, whose mere presence can cause a crowd of humans to orgasm, yet he fails to arouse Paul. And of course, this drives him to both succeed and to uncover the cause. And so, with Kian's advent in his life, Paul discovers there is a lot more to the world than he thought, particularly when he finds out those around, and about his own hidden powers.I admit, quite often incubus stories don't do a lot for me, as they seem to be merely an excuse for frequent graphic sex scenes and not a whole lot of story. Yet this novel, while it does indeed have sex scenes, most, if not all, were pertinent to the story, as the barriers between Paul and Kian fall during this time, and more is revealed about them. I also liked that both characters grow and deepen with each step of the story, and each uncovered new things about themselves and the other. There are no real dull points with pacing pretty even throughout. The cast of secondary characters were also interesting, and in fact, I would not be at all surprised to read another story concerning two of them! And yeah, I am much more likely to pick up that story now, after reading this one. 4.5 stars.
What do You think about Paul's Dream (2007)?
DFN about 60% of the way through. It's not a bad book.. I just couldn't get that into it.
