3.5 stars
The first book in this series had got me interested in each characters and potential couples. Dream Chaser was Ryn and Boone's story. The underlying suspense of what will happen and also the budding relationship between the two main characters were great and kept me reading on. It was fascinating to see where this story would go. I enjoyed the friendships of the guys and the girls respectively. It was definitely a team atmosphere amongst the groups. I also liked each character individually. The Dream Team series are interconnected standalones and am intrigued to see how the connected storyline will play out and also the journey of the two remaining couples. Overall, Dream Chaser was a good read.

When you can take me back to the Rock Chick and Dream Man worlds – and give me another series full of even more! Well. You had me at Kristen Ashley.

I am loving the Dream Team series, getting the chance to get caught up and run into so many of my favorites from Rock Chick and Dream Man. I am in happy reader overload.

Ryn and Boone make a deliciously sexy… and totally stubborn couple, each for different reasons. They aren’t perfect by any means, they each have their issues to face themselves and together – but they are perfect for each other long-term if they can stop being bull-headed about the attraction between them that is very real, and very intense.

It would be so easy to just tell you all about Dream Chaser. So easy. But I will not ruin this delectable story for you. If you’ve read anything by Kristen Ashley then you already have an idea of what is in store for you here – hot, sexy, intense leads who are often funny, grumpy, and totally devoted to the ones they love… it really is that simple. Toss in some laughter, some sexy times, a few old friends, maybe some new ones, definitely some bad guys, along with some intense action scenes and you’ll feel right at home in this world once again.

I loved Boone and Ryn individually and together as a couple. They work and that comes across to the reader. If you love a really good Romantic Suspense, tense moments, sinfully sexy relationships, and a couple who will draw you in as they tell you their story — then Dream Chaser is perfect for you.

There is a reason that I re-read Rock Chicks, Dream Men, and now Dream Team at least twice a year… this world is just that good. Indulge yourself and Enjoy.

I also purchased a copy of Dream Chaser for my personal collection.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher, Forever via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

When Kristen Ashley teased the first book this series, Dream Maker, to her readers in 2019, I couldn’t wait, and it instantly became one of my most anticipated books of 2020. I absolutely loved her Dream Man series, and to this day, it’s one I reread often. The commandos were always these interesting, elusive guys popping up when everyone needed them most. I wanted to know more about them then, and I’m beside myself that KA is giving that to readers now.

Dream Chaser is the second book in Kristen Ashley’s Dream Team series, and I absolutely loved everything about Boone and Ryn’s story. The Dream Team series is a brand new series starring new characters who’ve really only been alluded to in her previous books and series. KA readers often wax poetic about “old school KA,” a reference to her early writings which are widely viewed as some of the greatest contemporary romances of our time. I think she managed to sate those readers with these books by delivering two stories so far that were both comfortingly familiar but still felt brand-spanking-new. It was wonderfully nostalgic but with a fresh spin.

One thing KA readers agree upon is that her stories aren’t just about the hot guy hero. He’s a star, don’t get me wrong, but her heroines are equally dynamic and hold their own in the face of all that alpha-hotness. She pens strong, sassy, smart women, and she makes them part of a tribe of friends who define what it means to belong to a sisterhood. I read KA stories just as much for those fabulous female-positive friendships as I do for the heart-racing, heat-filled, knee-weakening romances they’re swept up in. In Dream Chaser, KA gives her heroine, Ryn, a solid support system in Smithie’s girls, and their brand of mischief and sisterhood holds its own against that of the Rock Chicks or the Chaos old ladies – who make liberal appearances and welcome the strippers into the fold.

Ryn and Boone each come to the table with their own issues, and they both share a very particular sexual preference. While there is a Dom/sub element to their relationship, readers need not be overly concerned if BDSM isn’t your jam. This was a taste, a dabble if you will, and while their romance was not overwhelmed by their kink, it most definitely fanned the flames of that heat between them to scorching levels. Ryn’s hard exterior protects a heart of gold, and she’s stretched thin caring for her niece and nephew as she covers for their neglectful, lazy, substance-abusing parents. Stripping was only supposed to be a means to an end for her, but unfortunately her family situation has thrown a wrench in her plans. Her life is complicated, but when she lets that wall down and finally lets Boone in, she finds a true partner in him. Boone was precisely the man for her, in every conceivable way, and his commanding, consistent pursuit, presence and then partnership with her was exactly the kind of sigh-inducing, swoon-worthy, romance novel magic I crave from KA.

Dream Chaser was everything I love about a Kristen Ashley romance. A resilient, sharp and feisty heroine and a protective, decisive, caring alpha male in a love story full of feels, fun and fire. I literally inhaled this book, loving every single moment, word and scene of it. I didn’t want to put it down, I didn’t want it to end, and I’m already anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. A top favorite of the year, Dream Chaser by Kristen Ashley gets five smooches from me!

Wow ! Another great read from Kristen Ashley !

In the second book in her Dream Maker series Kristen Ashley gifted readers with Ryn and Boone's story. Like usual with this fabulous author, I couldn't get enough as the journey to Ryn and Boone's happy ending was at times equally exciting and emotional, and like always exceptionally memorable. It flew by much too fast for me since I am forever falling in love with Ms. Ashley's amazing characters.

Ryn possessed the strength, sass and heart of every Ashley heroine, and well, Boone reminded me so much of my favorite Motorcycle Man Tack. He looked out for Ryn even though she tried to push him away. Ryn took a lot on her shoulders but she could be fierce whenever it counted. Boone's protectiveness and Ryn's stubborn streak got things off to a bad start at the beginning. Then the very minute Ryn was in danger right into the fray rushed hero Boone to the rescue. This awesome story had everything to keep the reader flipping pages. It had a great story, red hot romance, hot commandoes and down to earth dancers with hearts of gold, and suspense aplenty to keep it lively.

I really loved this book ! I am addicted to the new series and can't wait for Hattie and Axl in the next book.

Not my first read by the author, I am a HUGE fan and have read all fo her books and re-read many many times. That said, I am a HUGE fan of her original writing and if you’ve read KA you know what I mean. So this little different style I haven’t been able to fully connect with but still enjoyed! I also have read Book 1 in this series!

Kathryn “Ryn” is a woman trying to basically make it. However she knows and can at best. She is strong, beautiful, sweet and has a huge heart! That big heart of hers is what gets her into situations she may not want to be in but because she loves her family, she will do anything to help! Boone is a man that you would have to be dead not to instantly like, he is alpha, dominant, sweet in his own way. Them two together are steamy, sexy, sweet and exciting! I really loved the chase aspect as usual in a true KA fashion she dishes them out beautifully. I really do love the author’s writing style and yes as much as it reminded me of the original KA writing, still was different enough that I couldn’t connect right away, took me a little. Maybe because it is a mixture of Rock Chick-NESS if that makes sense, but that is one of the series I did not read aside from the first 2 books and did not enjoy. So maybe that’s why to me personally it was a little off and I couldn’t just get there but I enjoyed it enough to love these two, because them together was so thrilling in and out of bed!

This was Boone and Ryn's story, I was intrigued with Ryn and so I loved to get this story now. It can be read as stand-alone but I suggest your read Dream Maker as well. If you have read the Rock Chick series you know some of the characters that make cameos in this new series. The angst and suspense is good but not that much, this is a spin-off from Dream Man and Rock Chick so it is very similar to those. Definitely enjoying this series.

Kristen Ashley's writing is so familiar. She has the tendency to get wordy and some may even say rambling but this style is so uniquely her and we love that. I do feel that this series is this author returning to her origins because like the last book this one gives me major Rock Chicks vibes.

Another one of KA's trademarks is strong heroines but I loved Ryn especially. She was such a tough cookie and so sweet, with so much love to give. She'd give her last penny for her family and friends, that's just how she was. I hated for her when Boone was a jerk and I'm not gonna lie, for a bit I wouldn't have minded if someone else had swept in and taken Ryn away. But we know how Kristen Ashley can make us love the biggest jerk and once Boone realized that the way to Ryn's heart was persistence and it was a doozy. Boone went all out.

"So tear down the walls, Ryn, I want in, I’m getting in and we’re gonna see where this goes."

So, yeah, one moment I wanted to kick him out of Ryn's bed, the next one I wanted to beg him to never leave her. He proved that he was just the man she needed. The guy she could take a load off with, hand over control to, who protected her and who made her life easier and spoiled her rotten. The gentleness which he treated her with was a dichotomy to his bossiness in the bedroom but I think that's why it worked.

“I never wanted much with a guy. Just that he’d get who I was and like it. How has my life, that has been mostly coasting on the love of my mom, a few good times, and the ability to keep on trucking, led me to you?”

If you're like me and don't read a lot of BDSM books (although I do enjoy them occasionally) you'll be fine with the amount and kind of display of the lifestyle. This story doesn't delve too deeply into the BDSM lifestyle so if that's your jam this will work for you. If you expect some detailed scenes and a realistic D/s relationship you're out of luck.

What I love most about KA's books is that I get to hang out with familiar faces. For first time readers this may be an issue, the amount of name-dropping is crazy and will have everyone, who doesn't know at least the Rock Chicks, Dream Men and Chaos series, in complete confusion. But since I don't belong to that group of people this was my type of a fabulous time. This installment was just as enjoyable as the first book in this series and I'm drooling, DROOLING when I think about Axl and Hattie's story, which is next!

"Love just happens. It just blooms. Then it's yours to give. And you give it. The end."

Kristen Ashley has always been a go to author for me. I love the world she created in Denver and that she has another series weaving in with all the others.

The Dream Team is back in this second book of the series. Ryn and Boone have crossed paths before but Ry has always shied away from Boone. Although they run in the same lifestyle Ryn has her fears due to some family trauma. Boone is an alpha as only KA can write them. He works tirelessly to insert himself in her life and help her realize how great they are together.

With some family dramatics and a mystery Ryn finds herself entangled in this story moves fast and is a very good read. So good to get back to this world and see how all the characters are doing over the years. Looking forward to more from the Dream Team!

As much as I enjoyed Ryn and Boone’s chemistry and overall storyline, some of the dialogue and the lack of redeeming qualities left me wanting more.

I was more than ready to go back to the Dream Team. When Dream Chaser landed in my kindle, I immediately buckled up and got ready for another fun, exciting and swoon-worthy ride in KA’s world in Denver.

Ryn was a strong, loyal and kind woman who had too much on her shoulders. Boone, insightful, loving and protective, was exactly what Ryn needed. I loved their witty banter and candid exchanges. Their mutual respect and understanding made them great partners both inside and outside the bedroom.

Besides the romance, the story was also filled with surprises and crazy troubles. If you have read the Rock Chicks or Dream Men series, you would feel the same vibe which was absolutely amazing. I could see an interesting storyline running in the back of the series with a lovable villain who had a sweet spot for women. Additionally, I loved that KA had included cameo appearances from characters from the previous series. All the hot bunch, dream men and bikers brought so much memories and I would never get enough of them.

Boone wants Ryn. Ryn wants Boone. But Ryn won't let Boone in because... well, only she knows the answer to that. It seemed, to me, that she was a bit lost with her own logic. If she didn't get it, how could I? And how could Boone? After asking and being turned away repeatedly, it's no wonder he went somewhere else. So why is Ryn all torn up about it? And why is Boone still looking out for her? And why is she mad at him for looking out for her? Ah, the drama... you were missed!

Getting into the heart of this story wouldn't be right. It needs to be experienced. You need to take this journey for yourself, to find out why Boone and Ryn were perfect for each other. You need to learn, through these words, how KA was able to capture the true essence of these characters, bringing them to life, highlighting their flaws and bestowing us with their virtues. Boone was one heck of a hero. Such a good man. And Ryn gave just as good as she got.

There was chaos, bits of suspense, familiar faces, new alliances, and the setup for what I believe will be the love story to follow -- I can't be the only one who was feeling all there was to feel with Axl and Hattie.

I don't think there's anything in the world quite like getting lost in a book by Kristen Ashley. Dream Chaser is said to be a spin-off of two of my favorite series (Dream Man and Rock Chick) and if Boone and Ryn are any indication, this seems about right. Whether it was Boone's alphaness or Ryn's independence or the camaraderie of the larger group that convinced me, it doesn't even matter. I enjoyed every word!

I really enjoyed Dream Maker, but this book fell flat for me. When Ashley tells a story I love, I can look past all her tics and writing issues. When I don't love the story, I see all it's flaws. And there were no many flaws here.
Fat shaming
Evil ex-wife/girlfriend (the heroine's ex-sister in law)
Too many descriptions
Too many people- Does every person from Rock Chick, Chaos and ever the Anti Hero series have to make an appearance.
Poorly defined BDSM relationship, no discussion of consent, safeword is discussed on page but only in regards to arguments
Conflicting statements about sex workers/strippers
Casual misogyny from the two "bad" cops
Using the threat of rape as a plot point

The most interesting thing about this book was Brett/Cisco.

One last thing- Ashley refers to Hawk as a "mutt". This is an incredibly offensive way to refer to a human being. It is cringe worthy from her self published books from 2012. It is terrible from a traditionally published book in 2020/21

This series is classic Kristen Ashley: commandos, wacky heroines, over the top drama, and Colorado landmarks. I love it! DREAM CHASER was a fun addition to the series. Lots of your favorite characters make cameo appearances, but Ryn and Boone (the most KA names EVER) were definitely at the book’s center.

Ryn is a stripper (as are all the heroines in this series) and has been fighting her friend’s attempts to hook her up with Boone, a black ops commando-type hero. I can’t blame the woman, her life is crazy! Messy family, a huge house to flip, and money problems due to said chaotic family, she doesn’t have the time. Add to that, Ryn and Boone had a rocky start in the previous book. Boone has his own demons but eventually gets on his metaphorical horse and goes after Ryn.

There is something I love about a damsel in distress and this series really feeds that part of me. I like that Ryn still rolls up her sleeves and fixes her life, but Boone is there to point out that she has a community around her willing to help, and he wants to be a significant part of that community as her man. Ryn and Boone had incendiary chemistry and the fun-yet-emotional banter KA is known for.

As an added layer, Boone is a Dom and, Ryn is a Sub, but that isn’t too much of the plot; it’s just one more part of their personalities and lifestyles that ends up working so well. I like that both Ryn and Boone were experienced members of the BDSM community, and consent and boundaries were discussed. It’s a good book if you want to dip your toe into Dom/Sub romances!

The plot was a little too chaotic at times (and I don’t mean the Chaos MC). There were too many divergent plot points – it took away from the connection between Ryn and Boone. KA is throwing everything but the kitchen sink in this series, and most of it is fun, but sometimes it makes the book hard to read. It’s worth it for the nostalgia alone, though!

Overall, this was another great book in the Dream Team series. I read it in a single day; it’s addictive! Kristen Ashley is a fun and fabulous author, and I can’t wait for the next book!

**I received a free copy of this book in order to provide an honest review**

I have a confession. I reread (re-listen) to Kristen Ashley books religiously and Rock Chicks is one of my all time forever faves. I was itching for my fix when this amazing ARC hit Netgalley and subsequently, my kindle. All hail the ARC gods!! lol

Anywhoo, I devoured it! Straight up read like the wind. I smiled the entire time. This is the KA I fell in love with and needed to get my over this last hump of 2020. The book has everything KA fans love, though I have to admit the action was not as OTT as I'd hoped. If I have any critique, that'd be it. Apparently, I'm a crazy who loves chase scenes, shootouts, and kidnappings. Huh, who knew. lol

But what I did 100% love were the characters and the overall storyline. This formula works for me in a major way and I simply cannot get enough. Boone is amazing. Ryn, first of all has a kickass nickname, and is a solid character. We get cameos from a lot of the hot bunch and dream man gang. Chaos shows up and even the unfinished heroes get a nod. So yea, the characters work for me in a big way.

The flow was good and the writing is quintessential KA, Overall, just a really fun time! Recommended to fans of the series.

📚💕⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕📚

Fun, Fun, Fun

Oh boy or should I say girls? In this fun spinoff series we get more of this amazing authors words, see old and new friends and get taken on a wild ride. Rye was a girl full of life that she brought family baggage along for the ride. But Boone was a bit of a hard read from the start but oh did this author turn these two around page after page.
The writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shocking moments. I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Author Blurb: Ryn Jansen has no interest in taking a risk on Boone Sadler. Thanks to a long list of men who've done nothing but let her down, Ryn vows to stay far away from the caring, protective commando. And when Boone confronts Ryn with evidence that her loved ones are conning her, Ryn is less than thrilled with her family and Boone. But even as Boone proves he's the kind of guy to meet her every need, she doesn't trust him to stay when life gets hard . . .

Boone Sadler's never been one to back down from a challenge. He's determined to show the funny, sexy Ryn that the irresistible connection between them is worth exploring. But caring for Ryn's heart and body becomes a matter of life and death when Ryn's beloved niece and nephew are put in danger and dirty cops begin gunning for Ryn. Soon Boone realizes their romance is in danger of more than heartbreak -- and to have any future together, they'll have to put their trust in each other.


This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

Love, love, love this book with all the snark and the passion that is Ryn and Boone. They have quite a connection with the Dom and Sub thing and I just hadn't seen that coming, but it worked great. As always, I love the way Ms. Ashley handles the family dynamics with the kids who may or may not be part of the biological mix, but always the love mix. You're not going to want to miss this one!

**First Impression**
Another comfort read from Ms. Ashley. Ryn and Boone gave me the KA vibes I adore, glimpses of the ‘verse that I’ve spent a lot of time in and happy about that. While I think there’s some issues with pacing and the usual KA quirks, I’ll delve deeper into that closer to release day. Bottom line is, it was a warm blanket on a chilly autumn day and I’m glad I read it.

**Full Review (which is just a continuation, but go with it) 3.5 stars**

When I read that Ryn and Boone's relationship was going to be more along the lines of BDSM, I was a little concerned because while I love KA, her BDSM books haven't been at the top of my list. This is definitely BDSM-lite in nature and while there was a few moments there that weren't my fave (in particular some of the pet names), overall the BDSM is more about a bit of domination, a little power exchange, but it doesn't delve deep. And frankly, the entire book doesn't really delve deeper than it has to.

It's in line with what I expected from this series, but I think it suffers from a lack of urgency for the majority of the story. Ryn is your typical long suffering heroine with some stereotypical horrible (of course overweight) antagonist, and a murder plot that doesn't really do much but create a little conflict and gets resolved mostly off page, with a little build up of the overarching storyline. I'm wondering if there's going to be a villain ends up anti-hero later on, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. The main issue I have is that too often, anything with real stakes happens off page or peters out without any real consequence to the main characters.

But for a KA comfort read, it worked for me. Not as well as the first book in this series, but I'm still willing to see where the rest of this series takes me.

Dream Chaser is book 2 in the Dream Team series, and after being introduced to Ryn & Boon in book 1 I was definitely excited for their story. This book was definitely a lot different than I was expecting, though.

I really enjoyed these characters, especially Ryn. She was a badass, but also totally real - full of fears, loyal to a fault & putting everyone else before herself. She knows exactly what she wants, and won't stop until she gets there, no matter how long it takes. Boon takes Alpha to the extreme but was also a closet mama's boy which I really enjoyed.

Story-wise, though, I think there was just a little too much going on for me. I really enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters and was drawn in by the drama at the beginning. But by the end, I felt like there were 5 different storylines going on, and I don't think we received closure on any of them. I think something that long-time fans will love is how many old characters pop in & tie this to her other series but, at least for me, I think it was just a lot to keep straight. That being said, I am interested to see how the underlying storyline plays out throughout the rest of the series.

3.5 stars. This was a pretty good book, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book in the series. Dream Chaser is Ryn (Kathryn) and Boone's story. Ryn is a stripper friend of Lottie's and an aspiring house flipper. She bought a house and planned to flip it, but has been having to use her extra money to help support her sister in law, neice and nephew because her brother is an alcoholic. She also has struck up a weird friendship of sorts with Cisco, who we met in the previous book, and who is a misunderstood criminal accused of killing a police officer. Boone is a security guy and member of Hawk's crew, as well as friends with the other guys in the previous book. He and Ryn have had an interest in each other, but Ryn has turned down his advances. She has had so much on her plate that she hasn't been able to find time to date. Boone started dating someone else. But everything comes to a perfect storm when Ryn's family drama and Cisco drama come to a head, putting her in danger and in need of protection from Boone, who is ready to convince Ryn to take a shot on him.

I enjoyed this story. I liked Ryn and Boone. I just didn't feel very much chemistry between them. I didn't like that they had a D/s relationship because it didn't feel like it was written well. I am glad though that it wasn't like the Honey series in it's raunchiness. It just felt like inauthentic BDSM light and I didn't like the leashing aspect. KA's usual man-speak didn't fit with a dom's personality either, in my opinion. I wish the BDSM had been left out. I do like reading BDSM, but do not enjoy KA's version of it. But the story was pretty good. It kept my attention and I felt the love between the couple. I liked the house flipping aspect, as well as being able to catch up with the other couples in the series.

Overall, this was an entertaining read. While I didn't completely love it, it was worth reading and enjoyable in general. I am liking this series, though, and I look forward to more from it and Ms. Ashley in the future.

Avid Reader – ☆☆☆☆
M/F Romance

Please read book one so that this book makes more sense.

Ryn is an amazing woman. She works her butt off in order to help her niece and nephew when her brother isn't able to help them. Ryn is used to having only her mom in her life whom she can count on, but when she is kidnapped by Cisco, a local gangster, her life kind of turns upside down. When Cisco reappears in her life, Ryn isn't quite sure what to make of their encounter.

Boone is ready to show Ryn how amazing he can be, but he starts out by kind of stepping in a big pile of family drama. While his tact isn't always on point, Boone does have Ryn's best interest at heart. While he knows that Ryn works very hard, he also knows that for some reason, Cisco has taken her under his wing and offered her protection.

While Ryn and Boone find themselves tangled in a bad cop conspiracy, they also find themselves walking the fine line of a new relationship. Boone is hoping to show Ryn that her life can be so much more. Ryn has to figure out how much she's willing to put up with, in terms of her own family too. As these two find their own paths, lives will be taken, love will be found, and truths will be revealed.

I was a little disappointed that the mystery in this book wasn't truly resolved. It felt unfinished and I'm not sure if it left a path to resolution in the next book. This was a great book and I really hope that the next book comes soon! I really love these books.

Triggers: Substance abuse, neglect, murder, kidnapping, slight BDSM relationship aspects


Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the second in this series, but as any Kristen Ashley fan will know, this has close links with the Rock Chick series, and we also get some Chaos and Mystery Man elements to add to the richness. And that adds to the fun and the feeling of being a part of the community – which I love.

Boone and Ryn have been aware of each other for a while, but Ryn doesn't have time, or belief in men being serious, and Boone rather unwisely found solace elsewhere for a while, fed up of waiting. So he now has a bit of a mountain to climb, but he has two things in his favour – determination and the fact that the chemistry between them cannot be denied. I loved how Ryn also recognised that it could be good, but she is both too busy and too nervous to take a chance. As her life swirls out of control for reasons outside her control, Boone is there to support her. It is lovely watching him show her that she really can rely on him, and that he takes her, her family, her dreams, and her habits, and loves them all.

There is just so much goodness in this book, my advice is make sure you have a good long stretch of time to read, because you will not want to put it down once you start. It has tension, danger, fun, and a very sexy romance. Another hit for me; thank you, Kristen Ashley.


Veronica – ☆☆☆☆
So the first few pages of reading Dream Chaser I was thinking, wow Ryn seems a bit judgmental, but we quickly discover what is going on in her life and realise she is being taken advantage of. I was furious on her behalf, and from there on I was Team Ryn all the way. What I wasn’t, was Team Boone. He was a douche early on.

The turmoil in the budding relationship had me so emotional and a few tears were shed. Boone did some really stupid things that had me wondering if he was up to the challenge of taking care of Ryn, and for a good while there it looked like he wasn’t. But after a rough start, things eventually turned around and the good guy that Boone is shone through. One thing I will say is as a couple, Ryn and Boone are incredibly hot together.

Ryn and Boone’s romance is set to the backdrop of a crim who is being framed for a murder he didn’t commit, which leads to dirty cops with Ryn in the firing line. I liked the danger and action as well as the unfolding story of crime in Denver. This led to a few guest appearances from other KA heroes, including Eddie and a few from the Chaos boys, which made me happy.

One thing I would have liked to have had more of in Dream Chaser are Ryn’s friends, the other Dream Team girls. I didn’t feel the same kind of close friendship between the Dream Team as there was between the Rock Chicks. Hopefully that will come over time with the next few books.

I struggled with the first book in this series, but I was all in with Dream Chaser. There was always something going on and it kept me interested from the first page right to the last. I loved it. A solid four stars from me.


Shelby – ☆☆☆
Dream Chaser, the second book in the Dream Team series, was just okay for me.

This series is based on the Dream Team – four women that have formed friendships while working at Smithie's Club. I loved the first book in this series and was excited for Ryn's story. This book contains an element of suspense, a lot of angsty romance, a dash of sweetness, and a LOT of Denver character cameos.

I have such a hard time reviewing a Kristen Ashley book, I don't want to give anything away because it will destroy the story for you. I will say this book builds on the first and should be read in order. I will also say that the slow build for Ryn and Boone wasn't my favorite. The D/s aspect also didn't seem realistic to me. I liked Ryn's story and all the crazy that was happening, but Boone isn't my favorite male character.

Overall, this was just okay for me. I will read the third book as I am invested in the Dream Team and will keep an open mind!
