-1.000 StarsWhen I decided to read this book I thought I was in for something, at the very least, interesting if not mind-blowing, since most of my friends seemed to love it. What I got was a messed up relationship, a shallow(and idiotic) heroine and a hero who... a hero... um, I really don't know what to say about the hero. Reasons why the heroine was an impecile who should have died long ago: 1) She was having sex with a guy whose name she didn't even know. Not once or twice, but every week

This will be yet another review where I will show off my fine skills of prioritizing. Forget the hero, the heroine, or the story. We have other stuff to take care of first.Character description taken from the book itself :I didn't expect to see tall, broad, inked-to-the-max, long blond-haired Dog standing at the other side of the counter.HOLD THE PHONE. No one bothered to tell me that Dog the Bounty Hunter was making an appearance in this book.Then...just when I thought it couldn't get any more

HOLY ALPHA MALES!!!!!!! Yowza!!!! *fans self*I'm surprised this book didn't self-combust from the degree of utterly squee/drool/swoon-worthy, bossy, possessive, unapologetic, sweet, tender, badass, HOT UBER ALPHA males in it!! I mean WOW! This book is pure over-the-top deliciousness!This book has it all: to-die-for hero, a sassy, smartass heroine, lots of action, hot hot sex, secret lairs, badass commandos, badass bikers, badass cops, drive-by's, cosmo parties, family time, romance, a few mi

Starting off the year with a re-read fave... MYSTERY MANHAWKGWEN“'You live in your head too much, you curl up and shut shit out and spend so much time doing it, you forget to live your life. You can’t live your life in your head. That isn’t living.'” “'You’re livin’ in Badass World, baby,' he whispered in my ear. 'Fair warning, until I fix what I cut in you, you’re there to stay.'” "'You're in deep with me, aren't you, baby?'I whispered my question just to confirm.'Drowning.' he whispered back....

4/13/18 - ON SALE for $1.99: https://amzn.to/2vaoLTbRight off the bat, if you want to know if this is a book for you, ask yourself this question (and answer it HONESTLY): do you find the idea of meeting a ridiculously hot alpha male--we're talking ex-special forces--at a bar, taking him home for the best sex OF YOUR LIFE, never learning his name, then afterwards him leaving, never to be seen again, except a few days later he's back in your bed, waking you for more of the best sex OF YOUR LIFE...

5 Cabe “Hawk” Delgado Stars!!! I LOVE HAWK! Just going to put that out there before I review this book! How can you not??? What a yummy alpha male! Okay okay now to the book...A year and a half. Thats how long Gwendolyn Kidd has been sleeping with MM, her Mystery Man. A year and a half ago she heard these words at the bar... “You comin’ or what?” She took MM home with her that night, and now he makes regular weekly visits. Sneaks in at night, then disappears. Gwen is having some iss...

***5 STARS***(Reread)I am on my Kristen Ashley roll and I am reading some of my favorites. I loved the story between Gwen and Hawk. The beginning kind of threw me a little the first time I read it because yeah he’s a stranger creeping into her house to have hot sex with her.But once we get introduced to Hawk I loved him. I guess you could call him a commando and he ran a group of mercenaries. When Gwen is threatened he comes to the rescue.There is just something about a classic KA book. The alph...

Just $1.99 today for Kindle! https://amzn.to/35ch0M5Mystery Man is the first book in the Dream Man series and while it has Kristen Ashley written all over it - no pun intended, it’s a little more romantic suspense than the Colorado Mountain series. Cabe “Hawk” Delgado is another hot, over the top, super alpha hero and I love, love, LOVE him! Gwendolyn Kidd is a great heroine; Smart, savvy, independent, and takes no crap from anyone. Though I love how, being wooed by three alpha males, she doesn’...

Some of the story premise was a little out there but it had the sexy alpha male you come to expect from KA. Hawk is actually one of the less intense heroes I've read from her as far as possessiveness is concerned. He had enough to play it up but he was pretty cool about it.... Well compared to someone like Knight that is lol The plot did lose me briefly but it wrapped up nicely. Gwen did not win me over like the other heroines have. I'd rate this a 4.5.

Re-Read number 100000001. I STILL get all pissed at how KA twists Hawk's being an asshole that dumps Gwen into somehow being Gwen's fault and she has to beg him to forgive her!! And...DO NOT even get me started on his mother coming to yell at Gwen and guilt tripping her when it was HER son that was being the asshole...sigh. Why do I keep re-reading this book?? LMAOThere are so many things that annoy me with this book, Gwen's an idiot, Hawk is a douche, but it is still one of my favorite books an...

3 to 3.5 stars The three star rating is completely due to Gwen's annoying and nitwitted character. Not even Hawk, the swoonalishous hero, could fully save this book for me. I really tried to love this book but the heroine just rubbed me wrong. Really, really wrong! I understand why Hawk was enamored by her, he's the hero after all; but I'm still trying to figure out why Mitch and Tack were so smitten with her. I just don't get it! Of all Kristen Ashley heroines I've read, Gwen had the least subs...

3.5 starsDear GwenNo, I'm not a stalker. Why would you think that? I just wanted to talk to you about all that's happened in the last couple of weeks. Since you're not available (aka won't meet me), I'll just lay it all here.First of all I'm really sorry about Ginger. She has always been trouble, but I never thought it would come to this. Gangs, cops, FBI. I'm also very sorry you got caught up in it. But, really you could always see there's something wrong with that one...“Ginger. A pain in my a...

PACKING MY BAGS AND MOVING TO DENVER...YOU GET ME?Once there, I'm finding an abandon warehouse tying myself up and waiting for Hawk Delgado to come rescue me. A girl can dream right?

No Mystery, Grab Now, Only $1.99!!! 5 Recognizing How Great This Was Stars* * * * * Spoiler FreeWhen I first read this, it was during the binge of all KA. I think I had read Motorcycle Man and At Peace first... then did this series or Rock Chicks. I really can't remember right now. The reason I am bringing this up is to say... I Was Wrong....Yup, I gave this a 4 star. It was during my thinking on the books I read while adding them to GR when I first came on. No reviews, just thinking back on how...

I tried to stick it out because so many adore the series- but between the god awful dialog, "umm... Yeah". "ummmm". Umm" , and the wince worthy 1st person narrative, "then i walked in the front door. Then i walked to the kitchen. Then i pulled out a chair. Then i sat down.". And to say nothing of the fact the main character is an obvious Mary Sue for the author. And last but certainly not least, I can usually handle the uber-alpha hero, love me some Barrons who alot of people can't handle, but t...

Update 9/10/13Fabulous!! I have become a big audiobook person lately because real life is crazy and I desperately need my romance fixes!! This audiobook and narrator were spectacular, her voice totally nailed all the crazy personalities...it was SO MUCH FUN!! The story already is one of my favorites, then add the voice of the narrator and it makes the colorful characters and story even more enjoyable.5+++ STARS -- A non-stop, wild ride! Mystery Man was the land of BADASSES and the testosterone w...

5 stars – Romantic SuspenseAll the single ladies, all the single ladiesAll the single ladies, all the single ladiesAll the single ladies...Now pack your bags up!Considering there’s not one but four yummy heroes introduced in this first book in the Dream Man series that’s set in Denver, Colorado (all of whom get their own book...YAY!), not to mention the smokin’ hot, badass alpha heroes from Ashley’s Colorado Mountain series, and it definitely wouldn’t be surprising if all the single ladies sudde...

2.5 starsGwendolyn Kidd and Cabe "Hawk" Delgado.Ordinarily Kristen Ashley's books would not be the type of romances I'd read. Let alone enjoy. Gwen is an annoying heroine at times with really slutty behaviour. She sleeps with the hero for eighteen months and doesn't know his name. Then drools over not one but two other guys. The hero is a bit of a controlling alpha. The plot is OTT and pretty unbelievable. And I am seriously beginning to think that all Kristen Ashley's heroes went to the same sc...

Meet the guys... ;) ADMIRER #1 : NAME: Mitch Lawson. OCCUPATION: Detective Mitch Lawson ;) "Mitch".I whispered."What a perfect name ,soft and strong, things a cop need to be... Mitch."He stared at me."Is it?", he asked."Perfect".He stared at me some more. DESCRIPTION With the perfect cop name that starts with 3 silent constables and ends with 'Lawson' as in 'son of the law.' Mitch is the hot-ass,soft spoken smoldering detective put on the case to bring down Gwendoline's little sist...

UPDATE: Rating edited September 21, 2013. From 5 stars downgraded to 4 stars.*********************************************************Cabe (Hawk) Delgado said:"Don't have that chance so nothin' I can do about that. But I darkened your door, baby, and you lit up my life again, so I'm not lettin' that go."5 stars.Wow! Mystery Man is another great story and hilariously penned by Kristen Ashley! Kristen swept me right off my feet and directed me straight to reader's heaven. She does it all the time!...

3.75 cookie dough solves every problem STARS “You’re livin’ in Badass World, baby,” he whispered in my ear. “Fair warning, until I fix what I cut in you, you’re there to stay.” WHAT A HOT MESS!There was so much going on, ups and downs and people getting kidnapped and shot at and so many characters. I just LOLed all the time.If you follow my review you might know that I started my Kristen Ashley experience with the Unfinished Hero series and those books are essentially a two people cha...

WARNING: This will contain spoilers, Rants, Curses, Confusion and bad Grammar. Read at your own peril Takes breath.... Takes deeper breath Okay. I COULD through a huge ass hissy fit, fill this space with *head-desk* giffs and bash this book to tethers, but I won't.I won't because I pride myself in being a fair reviewer, and because the author tried, she went out there, took her time , wrote a book, hired an editor, got a publisher, you get the drift. The woman, I presume, gave it her all, and I

Sale Alert: Kindle Deal May 4 – May 10 $2.99I always feel like I have to give this disclaimer with KA books but maybe even more-so with this one… not everyone is going to be okay with this book or the heroine or the hero. There are very specific reasons why that is the case but mostly it is because it isn’t your usual boy meets girl story. It’s more of a boy sees girl, boy thinks girl is hot, boy takes girl to bed and then sneaks into her house to pretty much booty call her for a year and a half...

5 I'M OFFICIALLY A KA FAN STARS!!!!!(BR with Elizabeth, Melissa, Tiffany, Angie, Lynn, Idelle, & Julie)A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! This was my first KA book and BOY IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!I kept seeing all over Good Reads all the rave reviews on so many of her books and more than a few of my friends told me to get on the KA band wagon and quick.Well "Mystery Man" was definitely the PERFECT choice for my first endeavor into KA. Gwendolyn Kidd has been having a hot affair with SEXY and ALL ALPHA MALE, C...

Fourth read: February 8-16, 2017Let me first state that the audio version is a 3 star rating and the printed version is still a 5 star rating.This re-read started out as an audio review, but around the 49% mark I had to go find my place on my Kindle and read the rest of the book from there.There are two reasons why I did this:1) I could read this book faster than the narrator was speaking.2) I didn't care for the narration. Don't get me wrong, she did a great job of narrating the story, but in m...

5 Stars!! Mystery Man is a mystery no more and he is definitely a superhero!!I’m at a loss for words, other than Kristen Ashley blew me away AGAIN! Just when you think to yourself that she can’t out-do the possessive male jerk from the last book you read…WRONG…let me introduce you to Cabe “Hawk” Delgado. Even his name makes me swoon! Gwen is the object of his fascination and he was the object of mine. She is the consummate fashion plate, funny and as enamored with Cabe as he is with her. These

★½ The book starts with Gwendolyn "Gwen" Piper Kidd meeting a cute guy at a bar, taking him home and they had sex. They didn't talk. He started returning for a year and a half, always in the middle of night, without a key but somehow he got into her house.Gwen didn't want to scare this sex god away, so she never asked him his name, how he gets into her house, nothing except "harder" or "faster". She nicknamed him Mystery Man "MM" when she talked to her friends.None of her friends asked her WTF o...

no thank you, next 🥱a.k.a. Twisted Pride

Oh, KA... you did it again.Hot, sexy, original premise. On top of that, a likable heroine (can KA write one who isn't likable? Is that even in her wheelhouse?), and another badass alpha male. I will say, I was torn through a good chunk of the book. 'Cause I loved Gwen with Hawk, Tack, and Mitch (kinda how I REALLY loved Jules with Luke. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a good love triangle). But in the end... Hawk was a good choice. And he called her "sweet pea". I mean... COME ON lol.I read Dre...
