In
this steamy, addictive contemporary romance spinning off the New York Times
bestselling Dream Man and Rock Chick series, Ryn Jansen must put her trust in
the one man she wants – and the one man she can't let herself have.
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.

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.
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!
