Sea of Dreams

Fiona Neal is tired of shuffling between one crappy job and the next, and the same goes when it comes to relationships. But when a stranger at a wedding lights her fires, she succumbs to a few moments of stolen passion before beginning a new life.

Mike Alvarez gets just what he’s looking for when a beautiful waitress satisfies his carnal cravings ... giving him everything but her name. When he moves a thousand miles away to begin a new job, he’s shocked to meet her again ... and just as hungry for her.

Fiona swore her job as a naturalist was a new beginning, but when she encounters Mike again, it’s hard to ignore the swirling passion between them.

But their budding relationship will be tested by ghosts from not only Mike’s past, but Fiona’s as well. For there’s more to her than meets the eye. She’s a prodigal daughter, and the only one who can heal the mystical world of the Fae ... or tear them apart forever.

"88" rating -- Sea Of Dreams is indeed somethingg like a dream - it is so well-paced with perfect timing and all for a novella that I find myself believing utterly that the main characters are in love. True, those two started out with a literal bang but Ms Ramsay manages to develop the relationship of those two very well. Mike and Fiona talk as much as they boink so I can easily believe that they have something between them that is a little bit stronger than lust. The paranormal aspects of this story don't really come to play prominently until late in the story. The resolution is simple but somewhat open-ended, a development I very much prefer to one where the author wraps everything up neatly but unbelievably. This resolution, or the lack of it, is far more believable to me. Oh, don't worry, the romance is fully resolved, don't worry, I'm talking about the subplot involving the Fae and the Pixies wanting to claim Fiona as one of their own.

I have to say, I also love how well the author evokes the mixed bag of uncertainty and excitement that one tends to feel when starting life anew in a strange place. From looking foward to missing the ones left behind, the whole gamut of emotions are very well depicted here in a way that I can certainly relate to. The description of the scenery is also most effective. It's as if I'm there with the characters to take in the view.

Lush, romantic, and - of course - sexually explicit, Sea Of Dreams is a most enjoyable read. It gives me a credible romantic relationship, and the paranormal elements balance the romance nicely. It also takes me to places in the author's head, and that's what I really like about it. Mrs. Giggles
