Present Day

Natalie Philips has intense dreams of a handsome Latino who brings her to orgasm night after night. These sexual dreams start the night of her grandmother's funeral, and Natalie doesn't know what to make of them. As she is going through her grandmother's things, she finds a large diamond necklace and puts it around her neck. The next thing she knows, her dream lover is standing before her naked!

Because Natalie is the keeper of the necklace, she is able to call her lover to her even outside her dreams. Natalie thinks she is hallucinating, that is, until she has "real" scorching sex with her Latin lover. In order for him to stay with Natalie outside her dreams, she must find another form for him. He is real, but is the essence of another man. Natalie must locate this man and mate her dream lover's soul with this body. Things become very tricky as Natalie searches all over town for this man. And when a chance encounter at a restaurant with the owner may be the answer Natalie is looking for, she has to figure out if her dream man will be the same seductive lover when he merges with another.

Erotic dreams and the generous lover who comes from this dream world to make a woman happy make for a great read in A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND. I had to love the way Natalie tried to get past her beloved grandmother's death. The major loving from a perfect man who wants to give her the ultimate pleasures in the bedroom heals her emotional wounds. Most of the action between Natalie and her dream lover is in the bedroom, and those scenes don't disappoint in the least.

The mystery of the magic necklace and Natalie's search for the right man for her lover to embody leads to some lighthearted and funny moments since Natalie is the only one who can see and talk to her lover. The outcome is a nice and happy one all around. For a fast read with some lusciously written love scenes, try A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND.
