With the family Texas radio station chain in jeopardy due to her father’s failing health, Kyra Cartwright will sacrifice her life to save the empire. This is nothing new to Kyra who has given up her wants and desires for that of her father and brother ever since her mom died when she was ten. Now, Kyra plans to marry wealthy media mogul Harold Stovall though she does not love him. However, before her final sacrifice, Kyra comes to the Florida Keys to live her life long fantasy at Fantasy, Inc.

Retired on a disability, former firefighter Anthony Michael Moretti's wants to escape, albeit even for a short time, from his feelings of hopeless helplessness. To do so he comes to Fantasy, Inc. Every evening, Michael wears a mask so that he can perform daring rescues, especially concentrating on saving Kyra. She finds herself liking Tony, but desiring Michael but knowing that Harold is her final destiny in spite of falling in love with "two men".

The third book of the Fantasies, Inc. series, INTIMATE FANTASY, is simply fantastic. The story line is entertaining and loaded with romance and dilemmas. The characters seem genuine and readers root for Anthony-Michael and Kyra to ride off into the sunset together. Julie Kenner keeps the quality bar high and places the pressure for book four squarely on the capable shoulders of Janelle Denison.
