I'm afraid this book didn't work for me. Yes, the love story was beautiful but then there was just unnecessary scenes where I felt it made the book a bit dragging. So some chapters I read in a blur just to get to the ending.

Anyway, what I liked about the books of this author is how every story has a definite and decent ending. I liked the epilogues and the happy endings. Sometimes I crave it especially after reading an emotional story.

This is good breather book. A good old happy ending with a touch of angst. I will still definitely read more books from this author despite the lukewarm feelings I got from this story.

Got into a funk reading a good book that just wasn't for me. So since I have hoardes of unread books, I was looking for something that is highly recommended by most of the book bloggers I am following. I chanced upon Kristen Ashley again so I forged on.

I kept putting back on reading her series because I felt that since many of the books have been released already that I may have a hard time catching up. And since I got an issue where when I read series consecutively I usually get bored somewhere along the way and ultimately get into a reading funk. And I definitely don't want that to happen since this author came highly recommended. So my game plan would be to read other books in between reading her series just to retain my enthusiasm.

Now on to the Mystery Man story.

It was light with little angst in between. It was feel good with a moderate topics. What I liked about the plot is that it's romance with action and crime elements which makes it so interesting.

Not to much sex, just once or twice that are detailed. And I liked it like that because honestly sex in every other pages tend to get dull and dragging.

I liked Hawk, the perfect badass alpha hero.

I liked Gwen she's has the perfect sass and sense. There were two times that I wanted to shake her nut then there's no love lost between us so I'm still Ok with her.

I liked all the secondary characters, surprisingly even Ginger with all her troubles.

Oh and I also liked the chapter titles!

There's also a bit of a fantasy, not paranormal, element because, oh my dear, three perfectly badass alpha men expressing interest in the heroine all at once is definitely swoon worthy. And mind you one is an ex-army, the other a police officer and last is a head honcho of s motorcycle club! All swoon worthy men! Arrgghh!! I felt I was Gwen there for a moment haha! Another is having a handsome mystery man coming to your bed and giving it to you every other night and just staking claim, with you ending up having multiple orgasms is making me scream with delight and envy!!!!

So for those who love the elements I just described this is highly recommended. I definitely enjoyed this story and I might actually jump into the next book because I can't take the character out of my mind.

Until my next KA book!!! 

The Will - Kristen Ashely

“Small-minded fools are everywhere and those with the courage to be who they are often have to suffer them.” 

“It’s never too late to reach for happiness and no matter what life has done to you, it’s never too late to find it.” 

Took me a long time to finish the book as I started it on the way to my annual vacation, then I got caught up with work so I wasn’t able to write a review. I feel bad because I should’ve written it sooner so I could’ve given the book justice. It was so worth it. 

I loved the characters and the hero and heroine. The heroine may be uptight at first but she changed halfway through and I learned to love her. Jake is totally swoon-worthy, the perfect alpha-male-father figure. I loved all the kids. All throughout the book, I felt a sense of peace and contentment. I loved how the story was not so angst ridden, there were some, but it was perfect and realistic to the story. 

This is the second book I’ve read of Kristen Ashley and I must say that this will not be the last and I’m excited to read more from her. I’m loving her style of writing about alpha male characters and swoon worthy scenes. Her love scenes are not dirty and not too detailed. Her stories are realistic but dreamy at the same time. I like that there’s a tinge of angst but not too heavy. And most of all the stories are not shortchanged and are well played out. 

I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I’m not sure who’s it’s going to be but since I like all the primary and secondary characters I will definitely wait for it. I’m guessing it’s going to be Alyssa and Junior or Henry or Amond’s story or perhaps an older Con and Sofie.
