I love reading Kristen Ashley’s books – somehow for me, each of her books are not just stories, but are also a delightful journey – a journey that is full of laughter, tears and absolute joy; a journey that is supposed to be enjoyed, each twist and turn to be savoured, like a brilliantly made cup of coffee.


Quiet Man, is not only a novella & a prequel to what looks to be a hilarious and action – packed new series (Dream Man Series) but it is also a look back to the relationships, friendships and family made in two interconnected series, that I have loved right from when I found them – Rock Chick Series & Dream Man Series.

Charlotte “Lottie”  McAlister is a woman that you can’t help but admire – she is confident in her skin, proud of the career that she has undertaken, even if the said career maybe a little quirky for the staid society – a headliner stripper; she has made a name for herself, and not because it is sleazy, but that she has actual talent and people, no matter their gender and/or orientation, adore watching her perform.

But this fame comes with a price, and the price is the fixation of an obsessive fan – to protect her, her boss and friend; hires a 24/7 protection for her.

Kim Seamus “Mo’ Morrisson is a huge hunk of a guy, he is a protector foremost, even if it is his job description. He has his own hang ups regarding his appealability towards females as a life partner as in, he feels he is not the type to settle down with, mostly cause he believes that he is not the kind of good looking guy women prefer. It doesn’t help that his previous relationships haven’t exactly disputed his assumptions.


When Mo is hired to protect Lottie – he is instantly attracted to her; but he doesn’t even think about going there because; first it would affect his professional duties to be vigilant against any threat to her and second; most important one is that he “knows” that he will never be on her radar as a potential life partner, even if she is attracted to him.

Lottie, on the other hand, is immediately charmed by the huge, strong yet one of the quietest man she has ever had the pleasure of meeting – and like I said before, she knows what she wants, and she knows that she wants this man in her life. She has been searching for her dream man for a while now, but never expected to be thrown in his path in this kind of circumstances.

I adored Lottie – she is spunky, sassy and an absolute delight to get to know as a reader; and I honestly want to be her when I grow up – the kind of confidence she has in her own skin, is commendable and respectful.

Mo, on the other hand has my heart and blind adulation. He might be a humungous guy, but he defines the term “gentle giant” with Lottie – and while I would never dare to cross Lottie when it comes to her man, I wouldn’t mind having a bit of Mo light in my life.

We also get a chance to meet Mo’s colleagues or rather brothers – in arms – whose wild journey we will be tagging along from next year with[b:Dream Maker|46640181|Dream Maker (Dream, #1)|Kristen Ashley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1561644505l/46640181._SY75_.jpg|71654666] and honestly these little sneak peaks in the story and in the epilogue makes me wish 2020 is here already!

If you haven’t already read Kristen Ashley; then you should, especially if you are a fan of Alpha Males of the protective yet at times asshole category and heroines who put these men on a wild goose chase, merry go around.
