From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley comes a new story in her Dream Man series…
Charlotte “Lottie” McAlister is in the zone. She’s ready to take on the next chapter of her life, and since she doesn’t have a man, she’ll do what she’s done all along. She’ll take care of business on her own. Even if that business means starting a family.
The problem is, Lottie has a stalker. The really bad kind. The kind that means she needs a bodyguard.
Enter Mo Morrison.
Enormous. Scary.
Quiet.
Mo doesn’t say much, and Lottie’s used to getting attention. And she wants Mo’s attention. Badly.
But Mo has a strict rule. If he’s guarding your body, that’s all he’s doing with it.
However, the longer Mo has to keep Lottie safe, the faster he falls for the beautiful blonde who has it so together, she might even be able to tackle the demons he’s got in his head that just won’t die.
But in the end, Lottie and Mo don’t only have to find some way to keep hands off until the threat is over, they have to negotiate the overprotective Hot Bunch, Lottie’s crazy stepdad, Tex, Mo’s crew of frat-boy commandos, not to mention his nutty sisters.
All before Lottie finally gets her Dream Man.
And Mo can lay claim to his Dream Girl.
**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
ARC received for an honest review
Rock Chicks and Dream Men combine in this novella in the 1001 Night series.
I have wanted more Lottie since we met her in the RC books, and any man who works with Hawk Delgado is alright with me!
I have been setting Lottie up in my mind with a few of the unattached men that have popped up in the series, however none could ever be the man that Mo is to Lottie.
They say it is the quiet ones you need to watch out for - well, watch him Lottie did. It was fun watching Mo struggle with his attraction to Lottie, who was not backwards in coming forwards about what she wanted.
And one thing that I loved - seeing all the Hot Bunch come to Lottie. One in, all in with those men. Sigh.... makes me want to go read the Rock Chicks books all ... again!
Sometimes with these shorter stories, things can feel rushed, however that was not the case with Quiet Man. Because we have met these characters before and knew their stories, this was just another fabulous addition.
I want - no I need more!
Kristen
Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and
herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord
wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorize and she
hadn’t taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away,
put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and
Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before).
Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the
dramatic beginning.
Nothing’s changed.
Kristen
grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and
the West Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and
family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least)
but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a
very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with
Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and
the wardrobes that matched).
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.
And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.
