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.
If you have never read a Kristen Ashley book, Mystery Man is the perfect book to start with. This is one of my favorite KA books and I have read it over and over again. Cabe is a hot alpha male and Gwendolyn is a feisty, sweet heroine. Along with a perfect hero and heroine there are a wonderful cast of entertaining secondary characters.
What keeps bringing me back to this book is Cabe (Hawk) Delgado. He owns a security company and he and the commandos he employs, help keep the Denver streets safe. Cabe is a good guy with a white hat but he doesn’t always obey the laws to get results; he isn’t hampered by rules and laws like the police.
The love story between Cabe and Gwen is magnificent. They both have baggage from their past and are afraid to let go and love again. However, they just can’t seem to stop seeing each other, even though it scares the heck out of them.
This story has bad guys after Gwen and Cabe insists he is the only one who should keep her safe. Along the way, there are so many interesting characters included in this story it’s hard to pick my favorite. Although Elvira is at the top of my list; she is hilarious and had me laughing out loud so many times. This is romance at its best and includes hot alpha heroes, bad guys, suspense and many colorful characters.
