Book Description

Stuck in a colorless world, Tyra Masters decides to chuck her old life and starts searching for something. She doesn’t know what it is until she meets her dream man. The goateed, tattooed, muscled, gravelly voiced motorcycle man who plies her with tequila and gives her the best sex of her life. But she knows it isn’t the tequila and sex talking. He’s it. He’s who she’s been daydreaming about since she could remember.

Until he makes it clear she isn’t who he’s looking for.

Tyra slinks away from his bed, humiliated. The problem is, he’s her new boss. She just may or may not have forgotten to tell him that part.

Kane “Tack” Allen has a rule. He doesn’t employ someone he’s slept with. And he lets Tyra know that in his motorcycle man way. Tyra fights for her job and wins it using sass and a technicality. Tack challenges her that if she hits his bed one more time, she loses her job.

Tyra is determined to keep her job and keep away from Tack. But she makes a big mistake. During their head-to-heads, she lets it all hang out and shows Tack she is who he’s looking for. And Tack has had a good woman slip through his fingers, he’s not about to let that happen again.

Although Tack colors Tyra’s world with a vibrancy that’s blinding, being with him means she has to live in his Motorcycle Club world. Full on, no holds barred. And since Tack’s world, not to mention Tack, is a little scary, Tyra isn’t so sure.

It's Tack's job to convince her.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"There is something about them [Ashley's books] that I find crackalicious." (DearAuthor.com Kati Brown 2012)

"I felt all of the rushes, the adrenaline surges, the anger spikes... my heart pumping in fury. My eyes tearing up when her my heart (I mean... her heart) would break." (On Motorcycle Man) (Maryse.net Maryse's Book Blog 2012)

About the Author

Kristen Ashley grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana, and has lived in Denver, Colorado, and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.

Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multigenerational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland, and Kristen grew up listening to the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon, and Whitesnake.

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.

Format:Kindle Edition
The strongest and my favorite of the Dream Man series.

The weaknesses that plague the writing and editing of this author continue in this book. I won't go into detail since I have in my reviews of the earlier three books.

However the thing that puts this book over the top is that never, not once, was I unconvinced of the romance and connection of Tack and Tyra. As a matter of fact, the exact opposite was true. I was totally convinced by them every time I turned the page. And it was all there on the page all the time.

There was some great internal conflict between them. Tack and Tyra meet at a barbecue, drink lots of tequila and have sex. To him she's just a girl he picked up and had sex with. Women like that are put in a certain category so he put her in it. To Tyra, she had just met the man of her dreams. Their differing interpretations of that night get tested right away since Tyra realizes he's her boss at the new job she is just starting the next day. Needless to day they have words. This being a Kristen Ashley book and Tack being a biker in a motorcycle club, those words are not gentle. In fact they are crude. They hurt Tyra's feelings but they also open her eyes.

That initial meeting and the differing interpretation of what it meant to both Tyra and Tack resonate throughout the book and it gets revisited and re-discussed as their relationship builds and they begin to learn about each other. It was gratifying to read on and watch as Tack began to get how much he had initially hurt her and as he subsequently sets about to redeem himself in her eyes.

I liked Tyra because she simply did not take Tack's crap. And he doled it big time. There was this pretty awesome scene that occurs after Tyra rescues Tack's 16-year daughter from her skeevy boyfriend. Afterward Tack is pissed because Tyra didn't call him to take care of it. The scene between the two of them was intense, the argument was harsh and it bordered on a little violent. As I was reading I was very tense and pretty pissed and at one point I even said "Oh, no he didn't!" But the scene felt 100% real, every emotion that came out of it felt totally authentic to these two people. And Tyra's reaction afterward gratified me because she did not allow herself to gloss over what she thought was his disrespect of her place in his home and with his kids. She demanded her due. And later as he explained his side of things and his reactions, it too felt totally plausible. It was a great piece of writing and scene crafting. It is scenes like this and the emotions that it elicits from me that causes me to forget some of the technical issues I have with the book.

Also enjoyed the cameo pop ups of all the other Dream Man couples and of course the ever present Elvira.

Good book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Soap Opera in book form November 3, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Apparently I am in the minority here because I didn't like this book. Based on reviews I thought I was going into a read that would keep me engrossed and end with me shouting to the world how AWESOME this book was. Sadly, it was the opposite.

First, the writing was awkward and very, very repetitive. Many of the "paragraphs" consisted of one long, rambly, over-worded, adjective-riddled (see what I just did there?) sentence that had confetti commas (slap one here, how about there, oh, and, maybe, here, too...again, see what I just did there?) added merely to make it look cool, I think. But, ya know, there's rules about that sort of thing... punctuation isn't a bit of flair you can add like buttons to a waiter's uniform. The story line didn't feel at all natural and suspension of disbelief was hard to accomplish in this reader's eyes.

Some of the side characters were interesting, though, and the plot had potential. Maybe with tighter writing and an editor to fix the structure and also slap the author's hand when she went on yet another description of furniture or food or clothes, and a less heavy-handed overdose of awkward dialogue, I would have liked this book. I liked the epilogue and it was the only time I truly liked either of the main characters, so there's that. The rest of the book just fell through on the delivery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tack is my new fav!! May 22, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Move over Tate, Tack is my new fav!!!
I loved every word in this book. Kristen, you have done it again!!

I could not wait for Amazon to get it together and make Motorcycle Man available to us, so I bought it from "the other guys" and after 30 minutes of strange, confusion as to how to download it, I finally got it done and read. But I had to comment on here cause I dont want anyone to pass this book up....

Tack and Tyra's (Red) book is definitly my fav out of the Dream Man Series (with Hawk and Gwen's story a very close 2nd) and while I still think Sweet Dreams is my #1 fav book,(or is it Until The Sun Falls From The Sky?! Or maybe 3 Wishes?! or possibly even Play It Safe?! or anyone of the Rock Chick books?!..... Aww screw it, I've read em all and loved em all!!) Tack is my #1 guy. He is so hardcore, and scruffy and just delicious in this book.

I'm hoping whichever book comes out next is already close to being done cause I am addicted and can't hardly wait!

2.0 out of 5 stars Abusive Man. I was upset at this book.
I dont go for the promotion of acceptance of abusive behaviour and if the author had ever been part of an abusive relationship she wouldnt think it so romantic either. Read more

More About the Author

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen's Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.

Nothing's changed.

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she's blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.
