Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley

Mystery Man (Dream Man, #1)

by Kristen Ashley

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 wavered on this book. I loved it, then I was like "meh", then I loved it, then more 'meh'. There were some things that really didn't work for me. Hawk and his behavior sometimes was frustrating. I love the alpha stuff, but sometimes the things he did or said just came of a douchy. For the most part, I liked Gwen, which was good since the book is told from her POV. I will admit, I spent portions of the book HOPING she would pick Tack or Mitch (even though I knew she wouldn't).
Some of the issues with Hawk were kind of left hanging-I would have liked more explanation about why there were so many rumors about the women he slept with. Obviously, if the whole city of Denver had heard them, there had to be some reasoning behind it. I just felt like it was a bit too glossed over.
I am so glad Gwen was beating herself up about letting Hawk into her bed. Having the ability to hear her thoughts made the whole situation more believable because she was thinking what I probably would have been thinking.
Overall, I think I liked more parts than I didn't. 4 stars
