Dream Lover
by Cindy Gerard
1993
Merry Clare Thomas wakes in her rental cottage to find Patrick Ryan in her bed after a midnight mix-up. The accidental encounter turns into a tender, lightly chaotic romance.
Series background & context
Fantasy Men is very much a themed romance line, which means the promise is right there in the name. These books play with the gap between the perfect man in your imagination and the real one standing in front of you, usually with a little humor, a little wish fulfillment, and just enough emotional honesty to make it work.
Cindy Gerard's entry, Dream Lover, later reissued as Dream Tide, fits that tone. The setup is intimate and lightly comic, with an accidental late-night encounter that turns awkwardness into attraction almost immediately.
The scale here is small on purpose. You are not reading for a huge continuing plot or a heavily built world. You are reading for chemistry, closeness, and the fun of watching fantasy get tested by ordinary life.
That makes Fantasy Men a nice reminder of Gerard's range. Before the bigger suspense series, she was already good at compact, character-driven romance where one clever premise carries the whole book. If you want something lighter, warmer, and easy to finish in a sitting or two, this line does exactly that.
