My review from GuiltyPleasuresbookreviews.comI must be upfront and honest, I adore Jess Dee.  I've read everything she's published so when she started this new series, I was one happy reader.  When I read the first few pages of See You In My Dreams, I knew I was hooked.  I mean anytime a book opens with the heroine finding our hero dripping wet and naked, come on...you just know it's going to be a good book!I seem to be on a Rock & Roll band kick lately.  I've started quite a few series with this theme and somehow they are all different and I never tire of reading about these bad boys and the girls that love them.  Sophie Butler and Nathan Pace fit this category perfectly and are complicated and very likeable characters.Sophie is working on her masters degree is psychology; she works as a cleaner (maid) for an upscale condo/apartment rental company.  Needless to say she's terrified and mortified when she walks in on one of her guests in the nude.Nathan Pace known to his adoring fans as Jamie Speed is the oldest of the Pace brothers and the main vocalist for the band.  He's wrapping up a two month vacation when he finds Sophie in his apartment.Right away it's evident these two have the most amazing chemistry.  I swear just the way they look at each other is enough to melt your panties.  Although Sophie is a Speed fan, she doesn't know Nathan is Jamie.  His hair is long and lighter and he isn't wearing his performance contacts and although she tells him he resembles Jamie, he doesn't fess up. These two enter in to what they assume will be a two day affair; Nathan will be leaving on tour and Sophie has to return to her school work. It is sexy, raw and hot but also loving and tender. Thing is they both are feeling a sense of deja vu because of dreams they've been having for many years.I appreciate that Sophie let Nathan go, that she feels she doesn't fit in his world and won't just follow him like a puppy.  I adore Nathan's pursuit of Sophie and how hard he falls for her. Their relationship is the stuff dreams are made of, literally.In addition to Nathan and Sophie, there is a great cast of other characters including Nathan's brothers, the band's friend and manager and Sophie's friends. The rapport between the brothers seemed real, they joked, they talked smack yet they were willing to listen and give sage advice. Sophie and her friend's bond runs deep, they are more like sisters than friends and I found myself laughing at their frank talk.I really enjoyed See You In My Dreams, it's a fantastic read with an interesting, dialog that is scorching hot one minute and laugh out loud funny the next, and characters I'd love to meet and hang with.  Jess Dee has another winner of a series on her hands and I can't wait for the next book!!*** A couple of little side notes, Jess Dee lives in Australia so keep that in mind when you read her.  I don't even notice it the little differences between languages anymore and I think once you read her you won't either.  This book contains some dream prophecies.  Now, I'll admit I'm usually not a big fan of New Age practices and beliefs.  Please don't shoot me or send me hate mail, it's just not for me and if that's your thing you have a right to practice and believe. I don't judge anyone for anything they do.  I'm just noting this because even though that's "not my thing", I still very much enjoyed this book!
