"Very hot, fast-paced read!"

Jennifer Turner is responsible for raising her sisters as well as her infant daughter. She lost her parents in a car wreck, and her fiance Victor in a helicopter crash in South America. She has no time for herself, and is just now realizing that life is passing her by. After her good friend and next-door neighbor Jack takes her out for her birthday, he kisses her to keep her from arguing about the car that he and her sisters bought for her gift. But the kiss awakens things in her she hasn't felt in a long time. She thinks it's time to start dating, thinking she's crazy for these feelings for Jack, that she just needs to get on with her life. So she goes out, and it's very dull. Her sisters as well as Jack are waiting when she gets home, to hear the details. She notices the possessive look in Jack's eyes, but shrugs it off as her overactive imagination. He couldn't really be interested in her, could he?

Jack Logan has wanted Jen since they were in high school. But when his best friend Victor started dating her, he stepped aside. Then Victor was killed in a helicopter crash. Jen was pregnant, and he wanted to step in and marry her, but his broken family has steered him clear of marriage, and he didn't want her as a wife in name only -- he wanted it all. So he waited. Now, two years later, she's starting to see him as an attractive, virile man. After the fireworks of their kiss and what follows, they can't go back to being just good friends. But is she just substituting Jack for Victor, or is she really over Victor? And what about the strange dreams Jen's been having, indicating that Victor may still be alive?

NO TIME TO DREAM is a very hot, fast-paced read. The chemistry between Jack and Jen is remarkable and the emotional pull of the story leaves the reader eager to know what happened next. Ms. Harte has penned a great read I would definitely recommend.

Summary

Left alone to raise her daughter and her orphaned siblings, Jennifer's life is dedicated to responsibility. Disturbing visions of her missing (and supposedly dead) fiancé, Victor, who disappeared in a plane crash almost two years ago, still haunt her dreams. How can she justify lusting after another man?

But Victor's best friend Jack is here. He's real and very alive. Lusting after Jack's sexy body makes Jennifer feel disloyal...but she's not sure she can help herself, especially when Jack sets out to prove he is the man of her dreams.
