Bring Me a Dream

Jasmine White is tired of people questioning her ability to do her job. She knows she's the best bodyguard in the business, and she'll tell anyone who asks. And now she's got to take sass from her new client Spencer Powell, the late-night radio jock who calls himself "the Sandman." Someone's threatening the Sandman -- and if Jasmine messes up this high-profile assignment, he'll tell everyone about it!But sexy-cool Spencer's not so sure he wants a woman protecting him -- even one as fine as Jasmine. Part of him wants to drive her away -- and another part wants to hold her delectable body as close to him as possible. And when their body chemistry heats up, the fire it generates could prove a lot more dangerous than any anonymous death threat!

From Publishers Weekly

Tired of losing prime assignments to male co-workers, bodyguard and former D.C. cop Jasmine White is ready for a case she can sink her teeth into. When she's finally hired by WLPS to guard handsome radio host Spencer Powell, Jasmine fears his macho pride will impede her ability to protect him from the stalker he's flippantly nicknamed Nightmary. A contentious first meeting, defused by Jasmine's frequent use of anger management techniques and Spencer's fear of a sexual harassment lawsuit, gives way to a clandestine romance that's marred only by Amos's contrived, slang-filled dialogue. When Nightmary becomes more aggressive, breaking into Jasmine's home, poisoning Spencer and attacking one of his co-workers, the couple seek the protection of Jasmine's large, protective family. Although Amos (True Blue) carefully presents the requisite lineup of possible suspects including a bitter ex-girlfriend, a spurned station manager and throngs of zealous fans the true culprit stands out like a sore thumb from the outset, undermining Jasmine's supposedly sharp investigative skills and dampening the novel's suspense. With its predictable plot and weak heroine, this middling tale will likely languish on the shelf. Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
