Maggie Lodge hires private eye Sam Sage to help her track down a blackmailer. This plucky woman can do many things but finding out who dares to try to do this to advice columnist Dear Aunt Cornelia is beyond even her abilities. But WHEN SHE DREAMS she knows things that few could imagine.
 
Sam Sage is an ex-cop, divorced guy who just wants a simpler life, but instead finds himself mixed up with a reckless yet savvy woman, who is way over her head and doesn't even know it. It’s not what he expected for his first client, but all he can do is hold on, figure out what is going on, and fall in love!
 
WHEN SHE DREAMS takes readers back to the glamour filled world of stars, mobsters and many other intriguing characters that belong in Burning Cove, California. The 1930s come alive with this offering by Amanda Quick as we are returned to this little town where many have come to escape their high-powered world, run from a dark past or just wanted to live their life the way they want.
 
Maggie Lodge and Sam Sage (isn't it funny how his last name kind of rhymes with another very popular detective of that era) are exact opposites and watching them become partners is amazing. Expect fireworks because she thinks he is in need of good advice, and he thinks she is much too reckless. Both are dealing with pasts that won't let go - he a bad marriage that became violent and she with dreams that are vivid and frightening. She had hoped to find help in controlling them, but she usually found charlatans and people who just wanted to lock her up and study her "craziness."
 
WHEN SHE DREAMS is a fun, perfectly crafted, escape read. The glitz and glamour is there on the pages along with the down and dirty and its greed and violence. The dialogue, between Maggie and Sam, will have you laughing, pondering what is next and just enjoying it all. We know the bad guys as Maggie had dealt with one of them before but what these people will do and had done in the past to protect what they consider theirs by right, will leave you speechless.
 
When you pick up WHEN SHE DREAMS - set aside some time to enjoy, because putting it down until the last page is very hard to do.
