Dream Spinner by Kristen Ashley
4 blushes
Kristen Ashley spins another dreamy tale, filled with alpha-men we love, sisterhood, family, a spark of adventure, and most certainly-LOVE.
Hattie had been handpicked for AXL by Lottie, Jet McAlister now married to Eddie Chavez’s sister. Like all of the women between The Rock Chicks, and the Dream Man women, she resists at first. It wasn’t as hard of a battle for Axl as I anticipated it to be and once they got over their initial reluctance, mainly being Hattie’s shyness, they got on quite nicely. I particularly liked Brett Cisco, and would enjoy his story. To be honest for the first 25% of the story I was more inclined to learn more about Brett than I was about Axl. I also loved that Hattie was a woman of many talents.
synopsis
In this steamy and emotional contemporary romance from a New York Times bestselling author, two damaged souls must overcome the pain of their pasts to have the love they’ve always dreamed of.
Hattie Yates has finally met the man of her dreams. Yet years of abuse from her demanding father have left her petrified of disappointment. She’s already failed to reach her goal of becoming a professional ballerina—she can’t handle the terrible consequences of another dream becoming a nightmare. But when a stalker sets their sights on Hattie, there’s only one man she dares to hope can help . . .
Axl Pantera knows Hattie is the only woman for him. Yet despite the attraction burning between them, Hattie refuses to let him in. The former soldier is determined to woo her into letting down her walls. And when danger comes calling, he’s up against more than her wary and bruised heart. Axl will do anything to prove to Hattie that they’re meant to be, but first, he’ll need to keep her safe.
