Summary: Four years ago, Mitch Lawson moved across the breezeway from Mara Hanover and she fell in love with the tall, good-looking police detective who had an uncanny ability to dress well even though he’s single. It was not a stalker kind of love; she knows she has no hope since Mitch is way out of her league. That doesn’t change the fact that he’s her dream man.

Then one day Mara’s faucet won’t turn off and she knows nothing about plumbing. Being a good guy, Mitch offers to help then he invites himself over for pizza. Mara gives it a go but finds herself running away from him (literally) on their first date, standing him up their second and then she runs into him (again literally) on her way to save her ne’er do well, criminal cousin’s kids who’d just run away from their ne’er do well, criminal Dad.

Suddenly, Mara finds she has on her hands the guardianship of two kids and a gorgeous police detective who’s willing to do anything to help out… including giving fabulous foot rubs.

But Mara knows who she is and where she came from and she knows Detective Mitch Lawson is better than her. Hot law man Mitch disagrees and his challenge is to convince Mara to let go of her past and he sets about building a family at the same time he finds he also needs to protect them all against known and unknown adversaries that would tear them apart.

Review:

Okay, RUN, don't walk to your iPad/kindle/computer and get this series (http://www.kristenashley.net/ ). I love the way she writes. I love her rough, tough, hard loving men. And I love the cosmo-girl club! Mitch had me from the moment he stepped out of his car in "Mystery Man". While Gwen did not take him up on his oh, so blatant offer...Mara cannot help herself from wanting him. Mitch is the shit…a tall, gorgeous, loyal, dedicated/decorated officer who loves fiercely and protects those he calls friend.

Mara, who has legs that go on forever and great hair, is completely clueless that she is magnificent. A life of being beaten down by her mother, her mother's booty calls and her whole small-minded home town have left her believing she is one step up from worthless...a solid 2.5 on the "Mara-scale". While Mitch is a 10.5 out of 10, Mara avoids him believing she is out of his league.

 Luckily, fate puts Mitch in her path and gives him the 'in' he was waiting on for four years. Picking up Mara's cousins outside a convenient store became a defining moment for Mitch...watching him try to convince Mara that it was as significant was romantic, heart breaking and tender. I loved Mitch and his love for Mara and the kids. The greatest gift a man can give is to be a great father, especially when he doesn't have to be.

 I CANNOT wait for Tack's book. I am truly hoping that our leader of the Chaos motorcycle club will prove to be our darkest, sexiest, most romantic Dream Man yet! Enjoy!
