"Dreams or ghostly warnings--which should she believe?"

Edwina has known Klaus, in every sense of the word, for many years -- in her dreams. In reality she has never met him or anyone like him. Not all that unusual for a woman who shares her home with a ghost. Then she meets Klaus von Bruner. Klaus has been waiting for Edwina for a long time. He is surprised and pleased when she greets him as an old acquaintance. As for Edwina, she recognizes him from her dreams, yet it can't be the same man, can it? Was his coming into her shop an accident or something he planned? Who is he, really? A warning from Catherine, her resident ghost, that Klaus is dangerous to Edwina, doesn't ease any of her worry. Edwina knows Klaus wants her for sex, but Catherine warns her that he needs her expertise in biochemistry, also. However, Edwina's dreams are prophetic and she finds herself fulfilling them -- and fearing them. For what Klaus finally reveals about himself is something out of the realms of fantasy.

This is a wonderful story, but it did have some problems. I really liked this heroine. She is exceptionally strong and determined to stand by what she believes -- and she does. Of course, I loved the hero, also! He is willing to let the heroine move at her own pace in the relationship. Though rather short on action in some parts, the large quantity of dialogue is very good. A few things did bother me. It was a bit irritating that the main characters often switched from English to "rapid" German, once the fact was established that the heroine could speak German; the words were all English for the reader, anyway. There are some things that were confusing and didn't make sense and some threads left dangling. Also, I would have liked a little more background on the ghost. Still, I highly recommend this story for anyone who likes an intriguing, interesting paranormal romance.

Summary

Are they dreams or visions of the future?

Edwina first dreamed of Klaus von Bruner when she was only ten years old. Since then, not a night has passed by that visions of him haven't haunted her. She has compared every man she's ever known to Klaus, all of them suffering by comparison. The passion she shares with her dream lover frightens her as much as it draws her to him.

Now, many years after her first dream, Klaus has made himself known to Edwina. Who is he, really? WHAT is he? Clearly he wants something from her... something more than the passion shared in dreams.
