Fever Dreams

This is a great read! I read it years ago and recently read it again. I liked it better the second time, so enough said!

Patrician Madeleine Barrington has been visiting politically unstable Montedora selling off her family plantation, but now is trying to leave the country. However, her flight is canceled so she has one more night to spend in Montedora City.Having completed his assignment for Marino Security International to improve security for the Montedora president, Ransom looks forward to going home tomorrow. He enters the Bar Tige and sees the American female looking sad and drinking alone. Unable to ignore her though that is out of character for him, Ransom joins Madeleine. Out of character for her too, she accepts the company and the twosome share the best night of their lives in this depressed oppressed nation.When Madeleine has to return to the even more dangerous Montedora to complete the property sale, her concerned father hires Marino Security International to protect his daughter. Ransom is assigned personal security of Madeleine unaware that she is the woman he has not forgotten. As they travel together fighting every step of the way while falling in love, the two Americans are caught in the middle of a deadly civil war with both antagonists wanting to use them as negotiating pawns.FEVER DREAMS is a reprint of an electrifying romantic suspense adventure starring two wonderful lead protagonists who cannot stay on the same planet together without either fighting or hugging. The story line is action-packed especially when the duo returns to Montedora and never slows down until the final confrontation. Laura Leone (AKA Laura Resnick) has written an exhilarating romantic thriller that sub-genre fans will devour in an invigorating sitting.Harriet Klausner

Laura Leone's best book to date. She's found her calling in single title romance. Superb storytelling and use of language. Great comedy, great suspense, great sex, and a great hero - this book has it all. Among the best romances I've ever read!

This was one of the fastest, funniest, sexiest romances I've ever read, and intelligent to boot. I've read everything Laura Leone/Resnick has written, both romance and fantasy, and it's all great, but for pure reading fun, Fever Dreams is at the head of my personal list. I love the way Madeline and Ransom connect and strike sparks without either of them being hopelessly neurotic or immature. Just two smart, funny people who seem very different, but ultimately establish believable common ground in the midst of wild adventure. I don't want Laura to give up her epic fantasy novels--but please, a romance now and then also?

One of the very best contemporary romance novels I have read in years. I came across it over a year ago and I've been searching for other books by Laura Leone ever since. A great combination of adventure, earthy sex, and touching romance. If you like Elizabeth Lowell and Linda Howard, this is a must read.
