I gave it 3.5 stars
A lot of action, a sexy romance and a world full of interesting is waiting for you between the pages of THE DREAM CRAFTER.
Amana is a very rare Dream Crafter who has no idea how to use her powers or what they mean for her and her future. Merc is an extremely powerful and feared mercenary in a bit of a bind. He has a very sought after spellbook and he never expected the beautiful woman in his dreams to steal it right from underneath him. Amana and Merc have a bit of insta-love going on before they officially meet in person and then the crap hits the fan. They end up on the run together (well she is kinda kidnapped, but what does that matter? lol) and the connection never wanes, but it takes them a bit of time to get comfortable and hot with each other.
The world is pretty neat and filled with all different types of people. The story flowed nicely from scene-to-scene, but there were quite a few things that were a little too easy for my liking. I was really hoping to get some sort of update from the couple in book one, Larissa and Terak, I would have loved to see how they are doing. We do get to see a few familiar faces, but I really hope to see all the couples in the same book at some point in the Entwined Realms series.
I think the Entwined Realms series has a nice blend of fantasy and romance going on and I plan on following it into book 3.

The book contains a plethora of secondary characters, most of which I expect show up in earlier books, but they were handled deeply enough that I didn’t have much of a problem with that. There are some coincidences that struck me as a bit much. It won’t give anything away to mention that Amana’s early dream-walks with a sexy man of course turn out to have been with Merc, before she was ever asked to get anything from him; the timing felt highly unlikely. I also sometimes felt like Amana should have figured out more that she could do with her powers once she and Merc are on the run and being hunted.
Once things really picked up I got pulled in and really enjoyed the story. While the initial bit of heat between Merc and Amana seemed a little contrived, it picked up into a pleasing erotic romance. There’s plenty of action and tension later on, and thankfully the book everyone wants becomes more than just a MacGuffin. The plot is simple but tense.
Ultimately I enjoyed The Dream Crafter, but it only moderately made me want to read more of the series.

There was a lot going on here and the book plot was kind of boring.
