Dream Bound was such a different book for me, in all the right ways. It is very different from everything that I have read recently.


Mac has brought together his dream team of six highly intelligent individuals who have tested high in every test he could them through, especially psychically. He has also assured that the group is very open minded when it comes to their sexual desires and wants. He needs them at a facility he had built based on a four month relationship he had twenty years ago, with a being from another time and planet.


Twenty years ago Mac met and fell in love with his dream lover. She is a dream lover in more ways than any person could ever imagine. Nyrian’s feed off of energy, sexual fantasies fuel them the most. Zianne put her and her few remaining peoples trust and lives in Mac’s very capable hands. She has given him a future date and the knowledge of the technology needed to free her and the other Nyrian’s being held captive aboard a hostile alien spacecraft.


Keep in mind this is an erotic romance. The characters engage in sex with multiple partners, same sex partners, anal sex, oral sex, and some extraordinarily erotic fantasy sex projected to others through telepathic bonds and technology designed to project to beings on a distant spacecraft. The sex scenes in Dream Bound are scorching hot, leave you fanning yourself hot, so hot that there is in fact a ‘you’re getting a sexually charged book that will burn your hands’ warning on the back of the book. The sex in this book is plentiful and amazingly erotic.


I found out from stalking Kate’s website that there is a prequel to Dream Bound. Dream Catcher can be found in the Nightshift anthology. I can honestly say if you want to skip the novella and go directly into Dream Bound you can without any problems. I am however curious enough about Mac and Zianne that I intend to read Nightshift as soon as it arrives in my mailbox. Dream Unchained has an October 31, 2012 release date and it is the final book in the series. I cannot wait to get my hands on it!
