Summary: I Liked It and yet...
Comment: I thought the storyline was fresh and I fell in love with Devlin in pretty short order. There were a lot of 'laugh out loud' moments with this story.
However, I couldn't give it a 5 for 2 reasons: 1. I felt Megan was just too OTT. I mean, c'mon, we need a few moments of companionability, gentleness, to set the foundation for love. I found myself wondering why the heck he wanted her. 2. I think Ms Lindsay missed a great opportunity, particularly with the Scotland trip, to interject some real gut-clenching, heart-stopping drama. For some reason she decided to make fluff of what shoulda\coulda been an emotional pivot-point of the book.
That being said, I did really like the story and, in fact, read it in 1 day. If you are in the mood for a lighter romance this is a great read.

Summary: stamp of approval from a non-romance reader
Comment: Okay, I have to admit that I loved this book. I really don't read romance novels, but my sister is addicted to them and occasionally I pick one up and read it if she says it's good. This is probably one of THE best romance novels written, maybe even more so than Lindsey's Mallory novels, which I also reluctantly read and then enjoyed.
This heroine actually has an original, well crafted personality, instead of fitting into the the worn mold of the "sweet, innocent, and gentle" heroine or the snappy "bold, adventurous" heroine. Although repeatedly called a brat, she really isn't half as spoiled as others would have her be, and with all her hysterical conversations with herself, she's just too charming to dislike. Even Devlin, while easily fitting the mold of the arrogant, handsome beefcake hero, has managed to emerge with his own sparkling facets of originality.
The plot, of course, is somewhat unbelievable, as are those of most novels of this genre (it also, unsurprisingly overuses words like "sensuous", etc.). While suspension of belief leaves an entertaining and really very funny story, it is the characters that make this book so wonderful. Besides the character of Megan, the only other interesting people are the antihero, Devlin, who's far brattier and spoiled than Megan could ever aspire to be; Devlin's grandmother; and Lachlan and co. toward the end.
My guess is that if you enjoy romance novels, there's no way you couldn't like this one. Heck, even if you don't like romance novels, you could like Man of my Dreams. Look at me. I actually ended up owning the book.

Summary: What this led to
Comment: This was the first book that I purchased by Johanna Lindsey. It was at a local Walgreens over 10 years ago. I loved it from the very beginning, and when I finished, I started it again, immediately! It the led to one purchase after another, until it was to the point that I didn't even read the backs anymore!! I now own every book she has written (some in paperback and hardcover). To date, my library consists of 400+ historical romance books by various authors. Johanna is at the top of the list for favorite authors STILL!! I LOVED EVERY book, and eagerly (and sometimes impatiently) await the next!!!
