Incredible Mix of Science Fiction, Romance, and the Paranormal

In the far future, Earth is struggling to feed her teaming billions of people when a breakthrough in technology opens up much of the galaxy for exploration. Unfortunately, while there are many planets suddenly in reach, there are few that are truly habitable. Population pressure gradually eases on Earth but there's a greedy desire, especially on the part of the conglomeration of galactic companies, to take advantage of the barely habitable planets to mine their vast resources. Humans can't tolerate for long the extremes in cold or heat, high UV, severe weather, or savage predators on many of the "near" habitable planets. However, scientists find a way to create a subspecies of humans who can do so. These are the wolfan, a people created from a genetic mix of mostly human DNA stock with genes taken from wolves and other predatory animals. The experiment with the wolfan is a success and they are stronger, faster, and more predatory than their creators. After several centuries, their numbers begin to rival those of humans and their human cousins begin to fear them. Amanda Parker is a planetary explorer who finds out that the wolfan are marked for extinction. Time is running out and the key to saving them may lie in the ruins of a spaceship left behind on an obscure planet. Expecting no survivors, she travels alone-especially because the planet is under an edict and just being there means prison time for all involved. Upon landing, her dreams are invaded by Karrick, the leader of the surviving wolfan pack. He only intends to protect his people but soon finds himself irresistibly drawn to her. Amanda struggles to carry on her search during the day while at night she is seduced by disturbing dreams. In all, I found this to be a very engrossing, well-written book. From the first page, my attention was completely engaged and I wound up getting into work late the next day because I stayed up all night to read the book. I loved the characters and hope to see them in future books. The science fiction story itself was very plausible; there was a lot of action, and several scenes that had me laughing out loud. I especially enjoyed when Karrick's brother let a secret out of the bag-I'd say more but I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Awesome Science Fiction Romance

I truly enjoyed this book and could not put it down. It was an excellent meld of science fiction and romance. I especially liked the characters, which were very well fleshed out and made me want to read more about them. The interaction between Amanda Parker and Karrick Logan was very steamy right from the very beginning and stayed that way throughout the book. The plot was fast paced and I liked the way the author dealt with the issues behind creating new sub-species of humans to colonize planets with harsh climates. I hope that Williams' sequel, Beast of Awakening, comes out soon. I'm getting anxious!

Consensus of Reviewers

Consensus of reviewers is that this book is a sensual, futuristic romance sure to please the reader! From Romantic Times Magazine "Williams deftly weaves an inventive, sensual tale of savage romance inside a larger tale of intergalactic intrigue. The main storyline and romance are satisfyingly complete; yet, enough threads are left dangling around the edges to fill the reader's imagination with the desire for more. Beast of Dreams is definitely dream material." Overall rating: Four 1/2 Stars From The Romance Studio "Beast Of Dreams is a great paranormal romance with a touch of the erotic. This story is sure to keep you interested all the way to the end. Karrick is very alpha male and his animalistic nature will have you squirming in your seat. His dominant nature will intrigue you and his sensitive side will captivate you. Amanda is a great heroine with plenty of spunk. Her immovable attitude will have you laughing out loud and cheering her on. The sex is intense and very detailed, so be sure to keep some ice handy. This is the first in a series and is sure to go on the keeper shelf." Overall rating: Five Hearts Sensuality rating: Explicit From Fallen Angel Reviews "The strands of the various storylines are woven tightly together and with extremely memorable characters makes this a joy to read. All of this serves to draw the reader in and not let go till the last page is read. This was a superb book from start to finish. It caught this reader in its web from the opening paragraph. Not only does it have a highly charged erotic atmosphere, it also has humor, romance, love, suspense and action. This reader hopes there will be a follow-up book featuring Sirus and Danni as we can't wait to find out what happens to them!" Rating: Five Angels From Just Erotic Romance Reviews "Beast of Dreams was often an amusing read. Karrick varied between being an Alpha male and being somewhat Beta in that cute, I-don't-wish-to-anger-my-woman kind of way. I really enjoyed reading the unfolding romance between Karrick and Amanda; it was sweet and very believable. The romance also seemed to be a mix of friendship and lust, which I found to be refreshing in an erotic romance. The suspenseful subplots involving the Conglomerate and Shodan also helped drive the story. Amanda was perfectly capable of doing what was necessary, and wouldn't back down from a fight, but she didn't really have a dominating attitude that some Alpha females usually have. She was an enjoyable heroine in her contrasts. Beast of Dreams was a good futuristic erotic romance and I look forward to more of the author's work!" Rating: Five Stars Heat Level: H From Love Romances "Cynthia Williams has taken Star Trek one step further in this intruiging story about a race called the wolfan. This story is very erotic and stimulates all your senses. My imagination was on overload as I read the love story between Amanda and Karrick. But all is not right in this new Eden. There are dark forces w

Hot Science Fiction/Paranormal Romance!

Beast of Dreams is a great read for fans who like a strong SciFi plot mixed with a highly sensual love story. Cynthia Williams pulls no punches in portraying a future where genetically modified humans, wolfen, must fight for survival against their human cousins, who've come to fear the highly adaptable, physically superior subspecies. The hero, Karrick, is a wolfen pack leader who must confront a human woman who may or may not bring harm to his people. The heroine, Amanda, is trying to find a means to prevent the coming extermination of the wolfen. The heat between the two main characters builds rapidly and stays hot throughout the entire book. I truly enjoyed this story and could not put it down. Beast of Awakening came out in October and covers Danni and Sirus's story. I just finished it and was happy to find it was just as good as Beast of Dreams. Beast of Dreams was one of the best futuristic romances I've read in a long time! I'm really looking forward to more books in this series after Beast of Dreams and Beast of Awakening. I hope this author does not disappoint me!
