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.
Stripper with a chip on her shoulder sounds so cliche, and I’m glad Dream Chaser was not that! Ryn is guarded because her life has kind of been a mess. She is helping in raising her niece and nephew, and her life is a bit overwhelming. She needs someone like Boone, who is organized and task oriented. He is a problem solver. Of course, she doesn’t want to get involved. As if Boone would give her a choice!
Readers will love the give and take between Ryn and Boone-its quick, witty, and sexy. There is lots going on throughout the plot that will keep you on your toes. Sometimes, I find Ashley’s heroes a bit TOO much, but I really loved Ryn and Boone. There is a Dom/Sub relationship between these two and it really works! While Ryn is a sub, she is not blindly giving. For those, like me, who aren’t really into the hardcore BDSM reads, Dream Chaser gives you just a taste. It’s tame, but scorching.
Dream Chaser delivers enchanting characters, humor, love, and so much more for readers. KA fans will delight in the cameos from previous couples from Dream Man and Rock Chick. New readers can expect a style of writing they will come to love and find comforting in times of stress!

I agree, Ryn did have a heart of gold and Boone was a sweetie, too. Yep, this is mild BDSM, perfect for anyone that may be a little hesitant about that kind of stuff.
