A Sight to Dream Of
by P.G. Forte

Sam Sterling, a wealthy Wall Street wizard finds himself in a heap of trouble when he learns his partner was setting him up for stock fraud. Sam goes into hiding until he can get the evidence he needs to prove his innocence. He ends up in a little town called Oberon, but it’s hard to keep a low profile when the town reporter recognizes him. Worst yet, the reporter
is murdered and Sam finds himself the prime suspect in a murder investigation.

Marsha Quinn owns the Crone’s Nest and sells occult merchandise. Marsha also has psychic abilities and very unusual powers. She’s getting over a disastrous marriage when she meets a man that makes her blood sizzle. Her senses tell her she’s headed for serious trouble. Marsha knows Sam isn’t what he seems, but finds she’s falling for him anyway.

Oberon is a quiet little town, until a murder is committed that threatens to uncover more than just one secret. Marsha’s feelings for Sam grow but at the same time so does her suspicions. Could Sam be involved in the murder of Paige Delaney, the town reporter? What secrets was he hiding?

P.G. Forte combines romance and mystery along with humor to write a story you will find most intriguing. Her characters are well thought out and described in this tale of love, mayhem, and murder. A Sight To Dream Of is a story about a little town and the secrets it hides. Everyone gets in on the action, with a large cast of characters whose lives and secrets will make you think you’re watching an episode of Dallas, with a touch of magic on the side. Add a little thing like murder and you have a that will keep you guessing “who did what to whom” till the very end. Marsha fights her attraction for Sam because her ex, Alex, did a very good job of hurting her, while Sam pushes her away because he’s not sure if he’ll be in prison for fraud or murder. A Sight To Dream Of is a great story and I recommend you read book one in this series, Scent of the Roses, to learn all the secrets in the town of Oberon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marsha Quinn is a sensible woman who can help anyone but herself. She's also a professional psychic and a single mother with two boys. Burned once, twice shy: she knows that love is for other people. The mysterious Sam Presley appears in her small town just before the murder of a discontented journalist. Like a moth to flame, she's drawn to him instantly. Her psychic perceptions conflict with her own common sense. Where did he come from? Why is he here? Why his sudden wariness over simple things like picnic tables? And how could he possibly be attracted to someone as earthy, confused, and unattractive as she?

Other oddities crop up in her circle of friends. Dear friends are acting strangely about their connections to the murder victim. Scout's off-again, on-again wedding arrangements are in a total stew. Even fiery Lucy's devoted husband has a shifty look about him. There is simply too much going on for a well-meaning psychic to manage with her usual finesse.

As in her previous book, "Scent of the Roses" Ms. Forte shows a powerful ability to create full-bodied characters. It's clear that she loves them, and she puts the full force of her imagination into exploring their emotional entanglements. She has a lovely knack for rueful humor as when Marsha notes: "The thought was so amazingly depressing, she was surprised when her wrist veins didn't just pop open by themselves."

On the other hand, it troubled me to invest myself in a mystery plot and then see it summarily solved with little commentary. I never did figure out where the Darcy-Harry-Sam roots and motivations lay, beyond the obvious. The loose ends in the last book were not addressed in this book, so I assume these are questions that will never be answered.

Ms. Forte is an excellent romantic writer with a wonderful ability to get emotional turmoil down on the page. In both books I've read, however, she shows a much stronger grasp of romance and relationships than in mystery development. If you want a wistful romance with a steamy touch, A Sight to Dream Of is a good bet.

Ms. Forte continues the wonderful saga of Oberon with the second book in this series. You will visit old friends and meet new ones as this story continues. As you revisit this town with all of the secrets and mystery, you will want to keep coming back for more. I cannot wait for the next book in this continuing saga. I want to read more about the townsfolk of Oberon.
