Very nice short story by Ellis Carrington. The dialog flowed and the scenes were not forced. Lost a .5 star for me because of the paranormal aspect that didn't really get explained - I wish I could have had a bit more there. the final scenes were written SO well for me... clear the author took a good deal of time and paid a lot of attention to it. Can't wait to see more from Ellis. :)

Great short story, I was afraid at first it was going to be one of those stories where it was all a dream, but I was very happy with the ending :)

Ever heard of something being "short, sweet, and to the point"? That is the best definition I can come up with for this story. Only I must add HAWT!!!

All through the first (sizzling!) part of the story, I kept thinking how in heaven would Gray meet his dream man. I mean, he's on vacation but he's dead on his feet with sleep depravation, work is intruding as usual, and his friends don't leave him alone! He's still talking to his ex, of whom he still carries a picture in his wallet. And then bam! More...

Very nice, and hot, freebie with an interesting premise and likable characters. I would definitely read a sequel as the ending is really the beginning of their story.

This is a really short book, more like a long short story than a novella, which is the main reason why I didn't rate it higher. I just can't give a high rating to a work that leaves so much on the table, and this is a really good start on what could have been a nice start-of-relationship book.

The book centers on Gray, a control-freak with his own business who starts having vivid dreams of being dominated by a green-eyed stranger, and he likes it. He's never had any thoughts of being a submissive More...

A very hot short story with a nice paranormal twist that doesn't take over, just adds a flavor of mystery. The focus is firmly on Grayson, the extremely kinky dreams he is having and figuring out what it all means. I loved the twist and the 'explanation' (such as it was) of what went on. Perfect ending as well! Recommended if you like men who discover their submissive side and a touch of mysterious suspense.

Short 'n sweet.

(view spoiler)[ The ending: Was it happening in Gray's dreams because of the voodoo or did it actually happen...? For me that mystery was not solved so I kinda feel like this was incomplete... Do I feel a bit daft that I need clarification...maybe *shrugs* (hide spoiler)]

I read this for the Book Bingo 2012 and it was a nice, refreshing short read (for a change!). It was a bit confusing in the beginning - I really didn't know what was what - but it was very well written and the scenes were hot. I really liked the ending.

I thought about giving it 1 star just for the way it ended. A quick freebie read (less than 1/2 hr). The first "page" confused me but then I understood the premise. There was nothing that would grab and keep you - just okay.

Don't usually comment, but this was very hot and very well done. I wanted something short to read, and the author packed a lot of action in a short amount of time. I'll be looking for more from this author.

3.5 stars, rounded to 4

A short with some lovely BDSM scenes that happen in dreams. Luckily our sexy, subby hero meets the man of his dreams in person and grabs at the opportunity. Fun read.

I almost gave up on page 3 of this free short story because it seemed like it would be all sex and no story, but it developed :-)

The sex is hot and there was just enough story to carry it.

I don't usually like any kind of paranormal in my M/M romance/smut, but I really liked this short story. My only complaint was that it was too short.

This is just what I needed. Pure escapism and so goddam hot. Drooled whilst reading it, drooling now I'm thinking about it.

Nice free read about a guy who has a lover who he only sees in his dreams. Some nice dialogue for the dream sequences. Short story.

Enjoyable short story with a good dash of smut. I wish there were a little more background given at the beginning, but things came together as the story progressed. I would definitely like to read another segment to this story.
