In the Twilight, a plane between sleep and consciousness, there exist Elite Warriors, Dream Guardians who help human Dreamers by fighting the Nightmares that want to harm them. But another battle is raging in the realm of dreams, and Elite Warrior Connor Bruce must travel to the human realm to deliver a message to fellow Warrior Aidan Cross. But with him he brings great danger...

Stacey Daniels can hardly believe her eyes when Connor appears on her doorstep. When he tells her he's from another plane of existence, she's dumbfounded. They're instantly attracted to each other, but the danger that follows Connor strikes way too close to home. Will Connor and the Warriors be successful in their fight? Will Stacy make it through with her heart unscathed?

I'm a longtime Sylvia Day fan, so when I saw the opportunity to review this book I didn't just jump at the chance; I flung myself at it with giddy glee. Just as I expected, I wasn't disappointed. This is an awesome series.

Because Heat of the Night is the second book of the series, there's a lot of back-story that's a bit hard for me to summarize without going into great detail and without giving away any spoilers. I definitely recommend reading the series in order, starting with the first book, Pleasures of the Night.

The rich and sensual alternate reality that the author has created is fascinating and complex. This series is full of power struggles, subterfuge, lies and conspiracies, and it will appeal to readers who enjoy action, suspense, scorching-hot sensuality and drama. Ms. Day is a master of penning intelligent characters who work together in a well-orchestrated symphony of riveting action. I believe there will be a need to bring additional reinforcements from the Twilight, so we can look forward to future books. This is a series that is not to be missed.

Connor and Stacey
Connor is from the Twilight, where he is an elite warrior set on saving dreamers from nightmares...or possibly the elders that have gone bad. He has decided to cross over into the dreamers world to try and locate some relics that will help his people fight the nightmares. When he arrives he decides to go to his friends house, only to find it inhabited.
Stacey is housesitting for her boss and her son is with his no-good father on a skiing trip. When she opens the door to find a hunky man she cannot help the lust that runs thru her body, but she is determined to keep her heart seperate. She has a bad habit of going for the wrong guys...bad boys to be more specific, and Connor exudes a total bad guy appearance. Connor is completely taken by Stacey, he has never wanted a woman for more than a sexual encounter but he finds himself wanting more from Stacey. Can Connor convince Stacey to take a chance on a bad boy like himself? Or will the evil around them pull them apart?

I guess I really should have read the first Dream Guardians Book (unfortunately it has been out of stock) because this entire story was way too much for me. Between the elite warriors, mediums, elders, dreamers and nightmares I was completely lost. I do not recommend this book as a standalone novel, and unfortunately I now have no desire to read the first book. Connor and Stacy were great together, they really steamed up the pages (I gave it 3 stars simply for the erotica) but I do not lean towards fantasy novels of this nature so I would not recommend this book.

Hot Fantasy Series
I was hooked with the characters in the first book "Pleasures of the Night", and literally read right through the second book, Heat of the Night. Am patiently waiting for new books in this series. Alpha males, sizzling romance, good fantasy read etc.
