Technology didn't have a big part in the original story, which was published 16 years ago! Because of that it holds up very well. The chemistry between Dane and Marlie is the star! I only had issue with a small amount of dialogue between them - words that didn't seem true to the characters. I liked the secondary characters a lot and appreciated the insight into Dane's character shared by his partner/friend, Trammell, with Marlie. The majority of the book is told from the good guys' point of view with very little written from the killer's. This is one reason I prefer romantic suspense over traditional suspense/thrillers. The less time spent in the mind of the bad guy the better. Dream Man is still a winner after all these years!

(Explanation 3/9/11: I read the first edition paperback twice (1995 and '99), but donated that copy years ago. It's remained one of my all-time favorite romantic suspense novels, along with Mr. Perfect (which really should be available as an eBook), also by Linda Howard. Now that I have the Kindle Edition I can keep it, re-read it, and hopefully enjoy it as much or more than I did the first two times.)
