The dream world is much better than the real world. Ms. Daniels should've stuck with life in 1509 and done away with the excess drivol, which was completely unbelievable and had enough plot holes to drive a semi though.

Lord of My Dreams by Emma Daniels is a great book. I loved it. The book is about Drew who has spent the past 500 years being tortured in a version of hell by a demon name Demeana. He is sent back to the present world every 100 years and given a month to atone for his sins. It is his 5th time back when he meets Caitlin. She and her friend Maddie find him naked in the middle of the road shivering and weak. They end up taking him with them and give him some clothes and a place to sleep. That same night Caitlin begins having dreams of a woman named Catherine who lived 500 years ago. The story unfolds from there and you’ll read about what’s going on in the present as well as what happened in 1509.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was executed perfectly. I usually don’t like when books jump around with the time line because it can often times detract from the main story or the flow of the book. That wasn’t the case with this book. The story never felt interrupted or fragmented. The time changes were written into the story so well it added rather then detracted. The dreams that Caitlin had of Catherine just flowed effortlessly within the story. It was beautifully done and I enjoyed reading about both periods of time.

This is a love story. One that is charming as well as poignant. It is about the characters finding themselves as well as each other. Learning to love and trust each other. It caught me from the first page and just got better the more I read. The writing was excellent and the story was wonderful. I liked everything about this book. Highly recommended.

When Drew was hung in 1509 the Gods took his soul and tortured him for the next 500 years. But once every 100 years he returns to Earth for 1 month to find redemption.He must find someone to love him and he must fall in love. Drew knows nothing about love so the task is impossible to fulfill. Caitlin and Maddie meet Drew when he is dumped in the middle of the road one night. He has no clothes, and scars all over his body. They end up taking them to Maddie's parents cottage, where they have gone for a vacation. That night Caitlin starts dreaming about Catherine and Drew and their life together. It is as if she is Catherine. (Reincarnation?) Catherine was basically "sold"/ married off to Drew as a result of her parents and Drew's fathers negotiation.

The author has done an excellent job of combining the past with the present. We learn about Drew's life through Caitlin's dreams at night, while at the same time seeing what is going on in the present.

I started this book one evening and finished it before I went to bed. It did keep me interested, and the story was good. I thought it was very good for a beginning writer, until I looked her up and realized she wasn't a beginning writer! While her storyline is good she is not a writer like Kleypas or Moning.

Since I do like this type of book, I will pick up a few of her others.

This book started out so well, and was great until about the last 10% where it turned completely unbelievable and cheesy. I love my happy endings, but sometimes some of them are too much even for me.

Why wouldn't the goddesses (or whatever the supernatural chicks were) know what actually happened? Why were they so shocked to find out he was falsely convicted? Right up to that moment, I liked the story. After that, the author lost me.

Fun, light-hearted read.

It's fluff, but I liked it!

Irresponsible editing, or lack of editing, was often laughable and distracting to the storyline. Disappointing!
