I liked this short story, DREAMING OF THE BOSS, by Beverly Farr.  The premise of dreaming of the boss (Dell, who Jessica finds formidable, threatening professionally, AND handsome) has a fun paranormal twist I shouldn't disclose.  Get your own copy, and enjoy finding out!A lot worked.  Beverly's writing is clean, well-developed, interesting.  She includes just enough characterization and back story to make these quick reads work well, without sacrificing space on the page that should be about the current story.  This short manages to cover the space of weeks to months and does it well.  The dream sequences imply many different nights, therefore time passing.I agree with the one previous reviewer who wrote, "The chemistry is too slight."  Granted, there was evident interest between Dell and Jessica.  I would've loved to have seen these two desperate for more than dreams and an office/co-worker association could allow.All in all, this quick read of about 20 to 25 pages was enjoyable and a nice sampling of Beverly's work.
