This book is for women who like to read romantic stories of love that include the sensual aspects of a man and a woman as they fall in love. Each story is meant to be read in one night as a substitute date. When a woman finds herself alone when she'd really rather be with somebody special, all she has to do is run her finger down the list and select her 'date' for the evening. She can choose the man of her dreams from the occupations listed: State Trooper, Airline Pilot, Myrtle Beach Biker, Country Singer and Charity Date. They are all the ultimate in fantasy. Once she's made her choice, she can settle in for an evening of romance and love with the very essence of what dreams are made of - fantasy and desire.Each story follows a particular hero and heroine as they meet, discover their attraction for each other and ultimately fall in love. The heroes are strong, sensuous and commanding while still vulnerable enough to fall in love. They are the men women dream about. The women who read the stories are the heroines. They are everyday working women, always believing that they are on the verge of meeting their perfect love. They are women who love to dream. In each scenario the sexual tension is allowed to build before circumstances finally permit the hero and heroine to express their passions and the curtain does not close for the reader, who is permitted to fully find out What Dreams Are Made Of.I hope this will be a book that finds its way into a woman's nightstand drawer; its pages soft from use as the stories are read over and over. These fantasy men are willing and available to any woman who wants to get to know them, if only on paper.
