Blurb: Incredible Dreams is the story of a modern-day ghost whisperer who travels through time to save the life of a WWII fighter pilot and ends up jeopardizing her own existence. Izzy Miller prefers to call herself a spiritual therapist because she thinks it makes her sound more professional than plain old ghost-whisperer. She expects her latest project to be quick and easy because exorcising military personnel is pretty routine. But there's nothing easy or routine about Captain Jack Baker-he's a rather forgetful spirit and somewhat mischievous. And even though he's intrigued by the US Government's latest attempt to remove him from the only place he can ever remember being...he has no intentions of going anywhere. Plans to exorcise Jack are quickly sidelined when Izzy discovers a portal into the past inside her dreams and sets out to change his fate. Trouble is...when she gets back there, she can't remember anything but her name. She still sees ghosts, but is far less accepting of her gift. And, to make matters worse, a demonic force pretending to be the forgetful heroine's sister has her own plans-to steal Izzy's soul.
Review: Sandra Edwards' Incredible Dreams is a wonderful combination of paranormal, time travel and romance. The time travel element is probably the strongest part of the story, but there is a lot going on in the story, some of which is explained away, and some of it that the reader never quite learns the reasons for.
I would have loved to have a more definitive answer about why Izzy had to save Jack and why the demon was after her soul. I didn't feel these issues were totally resolved in the story. However, that didn't change the fact that I absolutely loved the characters, especially Izzy when she traveled back to the 1940s. There are so many things that are vastly different in the world, as well as the military and when she was thrust back into time without any recollection of who she was, it really made the story more interesting.
Then there was the chemistry between Izzy and Jack! These two characters really sizzle, even when they are trying to stay apart. Sandra wrote the sex scenes beautifully. She kept things hot but didn't go over the top, which takes away from the story.
I actually found the first part of the story, when Izzy is trying to solve the problem of the "ghost" Jack to be a little slow. But once she travelled back in time through her dreams things progressed quickly and I couldn't stop turning the pages.
The plot was unique and will appeal to fans of time travel novels as well as those who love romance. This is a great story to curl up with on a rainy afternoon. The story will keep you engrossed until the last page is turned!
