My least favorite but still good. A bit wordy and not enough action going on to keep it interesting at all times. Skimmed just a bit but will continue on. ( )

Loved it.
Fast paced.
Love Ryn and Boone.
Super steamy adult 'Love' scenes.
Now I need the 3rd book which recently came out.

There is no way situation with the 'Dirty Cops' is solved! Nope, no way. You know more is going to come of that! ( )

Reading a new Kristen Ashley book is like finding a Christmas present in July. It is always a treasured treat. There is just something so special about this author and the way that she crafts her story and characters that are unlike anyone else out there. It is part of the reason that in a world of acronyms that just saying KA and people automatically know what the letters stand for.

I am loving this new series of interconnected standalones. There is an underlying story that seems to be intermixed and leaves a little bit of a mystery to be carried over into the next book. I am not sure how she manages to do this considering that the story is finished but not finished at the same time. In this case, the "bad guy" from Evie and Mag's story is in this one too, however, he isn't a bad guy, just his actions haven't always been conducive to being a standup guy. I actually really hope that he gets his own story because there is something special about this character. He fits in with the typical OTT KA man and I dig that.

I was expecting this to be more BDSM focused since the sneak peek from the previous book talked about Boone being a Dom and Ryn being a sub. However, I really didn't find that to be the case in this story. Boone reminded me of every other KA hero with his OTT possessive, dominating characteristics while also being caring and attentive. He liked being in control like all of the other guys. I am not saying that as a bad thing because trust me it wasn't. I just was expecting that it would take the direction of the Honey trilogy and that was not the case at all. I thoroughly enjoyed Boone and how he was with Ryn. Ryn was a solid female character. I did have a few issues with her but that had more to do with the backstory of her niece and nephew. I had a hard time wrapping my head around how far the author went in making a point with her niece and that entire situation. However, I did like that there was a change in regard to a certain situation with one of the parents of her niece and nephew.

I can never recommend enough how amazing this author is. Granted, I really won't have to since just her initials alone show how huge her following is, and with good reason. This book is just another example of that. There were hints of what and who is to come next and I look forward to that. Another hit for this author. ( )

Kathryn "Ryn" Jansen dreams of becoming a house flipper, but her "almost" sister-in-law keeps calling Ryn for money to support her kids, and then uses it to get massages and facials. Ryn's brother, Brian is continually asking Ryn for money to support his alcoholism, so she continues to strip at Smithie's in order to afford her home. Boone is a Dom and doesn't know if Ryn can be the sub that he needs. Although Ryn doesn't see that as a problem, she does wonder if her history with bad Doms and men in general may make it impossible for her to open up to Boone. In the meantime, Cisco is back and puts Ryn right in the middle of a conspiracy of corrupt cops. Ryn's life may be even more of a mess than Boone and Hawk's men can handle.

Dream Chaser continues the story line of Cisco and the corrupt cops in the Denver Police Department.
This thread is not completely resolved, leaving it open for future books. The Dream Team series is told in the same world as the Rock Chicks series, the Dream Man series, and the Unfinished Hero series, making it tough to pin down all of the characters. The short, choppy dialogue used to show the no nonsense attitude of the characters is also reminiscent of these other books. Overall, however, Dream Chaser is a quick satisfying romantic suspense novel and an enjoyable read. ( )
