She’s a small town cop. He’s an inmate undercover. They meet in a dream.

Book Description:

Jennah Best left the adrenaline packed life of being a cop on the edge for a more peaceful place. She escaped a marriage that almost destroyed her and now lives her life working for a small police station in the town of Ridge. At her age, she’s accepted that it’s too late and too much work to start all over again, until she meets a man in a dream...

While young, Dominic Palmer has always proven he can get the job done.  Or at least, that was the case before he accepted a job and agreed to go undercover as an inmate. When months go by and there’s no word from his outside contact he wonders if he’s been left on the inside for good. He’s fighting to stay alive and keep his sanity, but finds himself completely distracted by a mysterious woman he met in a dream...

IN OUR DREAM Excerpt #1:

The nerve of that man! Why won’t he just accept things and go away? She paced back and forth, trying to control the frustration that was pumping through her. Every time she saw him, every hurt moment came flooding back to her and she just wanted him gone. She wanted to move on and live her own life and try her damndest to be happy!

"Jennah?"

She spun around, expecting someone to be behind her. There was no one there. Was that Dominic’s voice? Oh no, she was hallucinating now! Should she call her doctor? Maybe the stress had finally caught up to her. Was she going to end up spending her holidays alone in the psych ward?

"Jennah, why are you so upset?"

She squeezed her eyes shut. I am not hearing voices! I am not losing my mind!

She heard his deep chuckle. "No, you’re not losing your mind. This is really happening. I should have told you, but in our dream...it’s not really a dream. We’re connecting."

Her eyes flew open. What? "What?" She stood perfectly still, waiting to see if she could hear him again.

"I can explain it better later. I just picked up on how upset you were..."

She squinted. "Picked up? How? How are you inside my head when I’m completely awake? How can we talk inside my head?"

She heard him chuckle again. "Inside mine, as well. I don’t have time right now. Are you all right?"

She laughed out loud, not knowing if he would hear it in her head too. "Clearly not! I’m talking to a man from my dream inside my head while I’m wide awake standing in the locker room at work!"

"Jennah..."

About the Author:
Jacqueline Paige lives in Ontario in a small town that’s part of the popular Georgian Triangle area. No one has ever heard of Stayner, so she usually tells people she lives "near Collingwood" and no, she doesn’t ski at Blue Mountain or at all, in fact she’s not even fond of snow.
She began her writing career in 2006 and since her first published works in 2009 she hasn’t stopped. Jacqueline describes her writing as "all things paranormal", which she has proven is her niche with stories of witches, ghosts, physics and shifters now on the shelves.
When Jacqueline isn’t working at her ‘reality job’ or lost in her writing she spends time with her five children, most of whom are finally able to look after her instead of the other way around. Together they do random road trips, that usually end up with them lost, shopping trips where they push every button in the toy aisle, hiking when there’s enough time to escape and bizarre things like creating new daring recipes in the kitchen. She’s a grandmother to four (so far) and looks forward to corrupting many more in the years to come.
Jacqueline loves to hear from her readers, you can find her at HYPERLINK "http://www.jacqpaige.webs.com" www.jacqpaige.webs.com , HYPERLINK "http://www.jacqpaige.blogspot.ca" www.jacqpaige.blogspot.ca or HYPERLINK "http://magicseasonsbooks.blogspot.ca" http://magicseasonsbooks.blogspot.ca
MY REVIEW:
 
In our Dream by Jacqueline Paige is a December 2013 First Realm publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Dominic is in prison working undercover. After six months he manages to connect to Jennah, a police officer, through her dreams. At first she thinks these are just pleasant dreams, but when she hears Dominic's voice communicating with her in broad daylight when she is wide awake, she knows this is more than just a dream or her imagination. The affair, although not actually physical is very sensual and emotional. Until Jennah discovers where Dominic really is and draws the wrong conclusion.
Meanwhile, Dominic finds he many be in grave danger and has no way to make outside contact except through Jennah, who isn't too happy with him.
Will Jennah learn the real reason Dominic is in a prison? Will she be able to help him before something terrible happens?
This is a short paranormal romance that is part of a series or connected books. Both of these characters are easy to like. Dominic has a personal reason for being in the prison doing that type of work. He is also strong without being too dominant and is really sexy. If I were Jennah I wouldn't let him out of my sight!
I really enjoyed the mind communication plot and I would love to see what happens next with Dominic and Jennah. I recommend this one to paranormal romance lovers and maybe to those that enjoy romantic suspense as well.
Overall this one gets an A.
