Nightmare

The Don´s Dream Trilogy #2

by Amber Row

I’m trapped in a nightmare…
and the only man who can save me is a mafia boss I met in his dreams.

I thought I was losing my mind.
The walls breathe. The shadows whisper.

I scream until my voice breaks, but no one hears me.
I can’t get out and time doesn’t move unless it wants to.

But I know he’s coming for me. Damian LaCampanella.
The ruthless Mafia Don I met in his dreams.

We’ve survived each other’s nightmares. I’ve seen his monsters.
The boy who lost everything. The killer they created.

He’s held me through my fears, my past, my pain.
And each one we survive, I fall a little harder.

We shouldn’t belong to each other.
But in the darkness, love is the only thing keeping me alive.

Then I snatched by his worst nightmare and if he doesn’t find me soon…
The woman he fell in love with might not exist when he gets here.

The Nightmare Room

A mafia romance with a wonderful twist. After hearing she's been taken by the enemy, Damian knows he needs to use the Dream Room to save his sister; but after realising Nichole has been dragged into the Nightmare room he's torn by the choice of who to go after.

Nichole has accepted she's in Damian's dream, but after being pulled into the Nightmare room Nichole starts to see the nightmares in his life which helped to shape him into the man he's become. When he follows her in, he also sees some of the nightmares in her early life and begins to realise that she's not just living in his dreams, and they have met before.

Can they escape the nightmares and find a way to help save his sister; and will there be any way that she can see him again afterwards?

A wonderful mafia romance, full of action, drama, dreams, nightmares, love, revenge and suspense with some great twists. The second part of a trilogy, the story concludes in "A Dream Come True".

Nightmare is the 2nd book in The Don’s Dream Trilogy this book has Nichole in the nightmare room where she and Damian are forced to face traumatic fragments of each other’s past, and they realise that their lives have been intertwined for far longer than they ever imagined, and that these times in their lives have shaped who they are now. They realise though that in spite of their differences, they are more alike than they thought possible.

This is the second part of The Don's Dream Trilogy. Damian and Nichole take us along in their lives and the journey they make. They go through a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings and it switches between reality and nightmares. there is so much happening in the second part that you can't turn the pages fast enough. I have to say that it ends with a cliffhanger, if that is not something for you then this Trilogy is not for you but it is definitely worth reading.

Nightmares from Reality

Damian once again finds himself in the dream room trying to find out what happened to his sister. While there, Nichole becomes trapped a room of nightmares where they experience each other's past traumas. This second book is left on another cliffhanger, but the climax of plot kept building. It was heart-pounding and left me on the edge of my seat. I am off to the final book for some more answers.

The author has given us a heart pounding story that pulls us further into the lives of Damian and Nichole. We are transported between reality and nightmares as the story keeps us turning the pages with danger, fears and revelations. This is Book Two of the Don's Dream Trilogy and ends with a cliffhanger.

This story has it all which includes some suspense and lots of unanswered questions that keeps you intrigued with the story and what is going to come next. HOLY SMOKES this book by Amber is going to have staying up way past your bedtime just so you can get through this book and onto book number 3. These books are going to be the death of me because they are AMAZING and EXTREMELY hard to put down.

[Karen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This addition is just as intriguing as the first book, with drama, danger, unorthodox help, secrets, and lies. The MCs are defined, have chemistry, and are likable. The secondary characters are also defined and interesting. I liked this entertaining and engaging read.

Good series.

What a roller-coaster ride. Damian and Nichole see each other's nightmares. This is part fantasy romance, Gothic , and Mafia romance story. Complex characters and some twists. There are steamy scenes, actions, and violence. The cliffhanger is great.
