Mystery Man

Mystery Man is the first book in the Dream Man series from author Kristen Ashley. The publisher is Hachette Book Group. From the back cover.~

Night time is the right time...

Gwendolyn Kidd has met the man of her dreams. He's hot, he's sexy, and what started as a no-names-exchanged night of passion has blossomed into a year and a half-long pleasure fest. Sure, it's a little strange that he only appears in her bed at night, but Gwen is so sure he's the one, she just can't turn him away... 

Hawk Delgado knows more about Gwen than she could ever imagine. She's gorgeous, headstrong, and skittish about relationships. But Hawk is facing his own demons, demons that keep him from connecting with anyone. Yet when Gwen is drawn into Denver's lethal underground scene, Hawk's protective nature comes out full force. The problem is, when Gwen gets a dose of Hawk's Alpha attitude in the daylight, she's not so sure he's the one anymore.... 

I’d heard much about Kristen Ashley from all my twitter and blogging friends and when I saw Mystery Man show up on NetGalley, I was so excited to be approved by the publisher.

I’ll admit it took me a bit to get into this book. Honestly was a little all over the place in the beginning. However, I really liked Gwen from the first and loved Hawk, so I kept reading, and I’m so glad I did. I ended up really liking this book and my love for Hawk only grew as I read.

Gwen is such a fun character. I did think it was super funny that she had been sleeping with Hawk for over a year without knowing anything about him, but I could tell they both really had strong feelings for each other from the beginning, so I let that go pretty fast. Her trust issues and running off to get help from others rather than rely on Hawk kinda made me a little mad, but since she didn’t know much about him, I understood her thinking. I loved the chemistry between Gwen and Hawk so much! Kristen Ashley writes some pretty hot love scenes and as I saw Gwen and Hawk spend more time together, I fell for them as a couple.

As soon as I finished reading Mystery Man I needed my next KA fix. I totally understand why so many of my twitter friends call her books addictive. As soon as I finished my first Kristen Ashley book, I immediately bought the rest of the books in the Dream Man series.
