“Sweet Dreamers, this love story is a spoiler for book #6… 2 B with U. but it’s oh so worth the read!” – Emmy
“That Feeling” by Emmy Z. Madrigal is of the unexpected type. In this modern tale, rock front man Greg Stang, falls in love at first sight (or is that first hear?) when he overhears the melancholy piano playing of the hauntingly beautiful Raven. Will she return his affections? Or is he just another guy blindly following her?
And it also includes a story from a new Regency author, Lela Bay.
“The Unusual Manners of Mr. Aarons” by Lela Bay is of the unplanned variety. In this Regency tale, Emmaline is taken by Mr. Aaron’s good looks and peculiar interests, but it appears like he’s after her cousin. Beautiful Catherine Connersfield is the more sensible choice, but will she have him? More to the point, will Emmaline stand by and let her?
As a bonus, if you’re searching for stories to love, get to know the characters of some of our other Meant to Be authors in the 21 Questions section of this book.
Whether you are in love with your soulmate or still searching, we hope these stories inspire hope, imagination, and love.
Today Victoria and Rob met for the first time. Whether you’ve already listened to the whole series or are brand new, this is the chance to listen to the series in real-time. Here is a listening schedule if you’d like to listen to their love unfold as our calendar counts forward into the New Year.

Valentine’s Day is coming soon, Sweet Dreamers! In celebration of the special event, I have a Sweet Dreams Fun Quiz for you. Answer the questions below and keep track of how many you get in each category (A, B, C, etc…). When you’re done, check the chart below to see which Sweet Dreams character you are most like.
On Valentine’s Day, you’d like to…
Take your love on an all-expense paid weekend trip to Napa wine country.
Spend the time with your loved one, no matter where that might be.
Hanging out with friends would be cool, but you aren’t expecting much.
Take your love to a nice romantic dinner and then night on the town.
Rock out at the nearest anti-Valentine’s Day night club.
Valentine’s Day sucks. Leave me alone.
When picking out a Valentine’s Day gift for your love, you…
Buy the most beautiful piece of jewelry you can find, with your love in mind. Price is no object.
Homemade cards and lots of kisses are better than things you can’t afford.
Don’t really do gifts. You might buy them a drink if they’re lucky.
Whatever they want, they can choose.
Write them a song.
Valentine’s Day sucks. Leave me alone.
Who is your perfect Valentine?
A beautiful person with amazing talents.
The love of my dreams
My favorite singer.
Someone who likes me for me.
Someone who likes to have fun.
Someone who leaves me alone.
What would you like to get from your Sweetheart?
A night together alone.
Just being with them would be enough.
Surprise me.
Makeout session.
Guitar Center gift certificate.
Cash.
I want a stuffed…
Not quite sure I need anything stuffed, thank you.
Giant bear.
Bell pepper. Those are good.
Huh?
Guitar.
Wallet
Your Valentine’s Day song.

“I Can’t Give You Anything but Love” ~Ella Fitzgerald
“Will You Love me Tomorrow?” ~Carole King
“I’ll Make Love to You” ~ Boys II Men
“Punk Rock Girl” ~ The Dead Milkmen
“Anything, Anything” ~ Dramarama
The most romantic location to have that special kiss.
In bed.
Under the stars.
A location on the body I can’t talk about.
Somewhere the press won’t hound us.
Backstage
Any place where we can take it further.
The perfect date ends with….
Breakfast the next morning.
Cuddling.
Nice kiss to tie me over.
Promise to meet again.
Why does it have to end? Come back to my place.
Leaving alone.
Your love life would make a perfect…
Instruction manual.
Romance novel.
Disaster flick.
Headline.
Thriller.
Horror film.
If you couldn’t spend Valentine’s Day with your love, you would…
Make it up later in a big way.
Cry, eat ice cream, and talk on the phone.
Just like any other lonely Saturday night.
Send flowers.
Write a rock ballad.
Get drunk.
Mostly A
ROBERT MALLOY
Not only do you strive for true love, you have the high class tastes and panache to pull off even the most luxuriant love affair. Like Rob, you take charge and plan everything. You think that perfection is not an unattainable goal. Be careful of those you love. Of course you want to protect and spoil them, but sometimes they may want to plan a weekend. Let them and you’ll have more fun than you can imagine.
Mostly B
VICTORIA KNOX
You’re the type of romantic person who may not always have the cash to be extravagant, but always make it special. Like Victoria, you don’t mind where you are as long as you are there with someone you love. You dream of true love and will most likely have it, as long as you don’t let your own self doubt ruin it.
Mostly C
CYNTHIA PORTER
You can see the beauty in being in love, even if you can’t always enjoy it yourself. Like Cynthia, you tend to stand back and wait for the rose to bloom rather than rush in before the bud has had time to blossom. However, if inspired by the right person, you have a tendency to get too hot too quick and cut yourself on the thorns.
Mostly D
DEREK MONTGOMERY
Injured by love, you strive to make you way back to the person who believed in that one true love. So, he/she wasn’t the one? Like Derek, you need to learn to accept that person wasn’t right for you and move on to someone who is. Your new love, who helps heal your broken heart, might need some healing too.
Mostly E
GREG STANG
Alright, so you’re not much on follow through, so what. You’ve got a great attitude and you’re fun to be around. You played, and that’s all that matters. Love to you is fun and should stay that way. Like Greg, you don’t let yourself be bogged down by rules and guidelines. Let the love in your life be expressed through music, art, or literature and you will be just as happy.
Mostly F
RAUL LaMOND
You’ve been crushed by love, and really, you don’t have time or energy to spend on some dumb game. Like Raul, you’ll stand on the sidelines and watch your friends enjoy life as you nurse your still bleeding heart. As long as they know you’re there for them in tough times, you can nurse your crush. But be careful. Sometimes your lackadaisical attitude can make people think you don’t care about them and you may end up with no one at all.

+1 point Make a promise to someone you care about.
+1 extra point: Go to an amusement park. (And don’t get kidnapped)
On January 27th, Victoria is terrorized by a guy from her past.
“You better work this time damnit, I’m warning you!” Victoria said to her cell phone as she dialed Derek’s number. Hands shaking severely, she felt as if she would drop the phone, but luckily she kept both hands on it and tried to relax by placing her cheek on the cool stall wall.
“D,” Derek answered.
“Derek!” Victoria screamed, probably louder than she should have since she was in a woman’s bathroom stall. Her voice echoed through the whole place.
“Vicki? Is that you? Hey how you doing?” He sounded in high spirits and she could hear him calling for Cynthia.
“I’m fine, could I speak to Cynthia please?” Victoria was trying to sound very calm and collected but wasn’t sure if she was achieving that goal.
“Vic?” Victoria heard Cynthia say from the other end of the phone.
“Oh my god! Cyn! I am so glad to hear your voice!” Victoria squealed.
“What’s wrong?” Cynthia asked.
“Cyn-” Victoria had waited all day and night to tell someone what was going on and now that she had the chance, she was speechless. Feeling as if she would cry, she took a deep breath and began to speak. “Something bad is happening Cyn. I need to come see you as soon as possible. Where are you?”
“Are you alright Vicki? What’s the matter?” Cynthia asked concerned.
“Please, don’t make me explain. I just need to come to you and Derek and then maybe I’ll be safe or we can fix it or something. I don’t know, I’m not sure what to do! Where are you?” Victoria asked.
“We’re at a restaurant across from the Riverboat Ride. It has a shaded eating area. Is Rob with you?” Cynthia asked.
“No. And listen, if you see him or any of his friends, turn the other way. Act like you didn’t see them. If you have to talk to them, don’t say anything about talking to me all right? I don’t want you and Derek to be in danger. I’m absolutely serious about that. Don’t go with them and don’t tell them we talked. I will be there as soon as I can.” Victoria came out of the stall and tried to remember which way it was from the bathroom to where her friend was.
We’ve reached the end of our game, now total up your score and watch for the next post, which will tell you just exactly what type of Sweet Dreams Fan you are! Don’t forget to send in a photo of you and/or friends doing one of the tasks and email pictures to: emmyzmadrigal@sbcglobal.net by January 27th (that’s today!).
You could be the GRAND PRIZE WINNER and receive Victoria Knox’s very own lyric song notebook. Good Luck!
