REVIEW: Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley





Night time is the right time...



Gwendolyn Kidd has met the man of her dreams. He's hot, he's sexy, and what started as a no-names-exchanged night of passion has blossomed into a year and a half-long pleasure fest. Sure, it's a little strange that he only appears in her bed at night, but Gwen is so sure he's the one, she just can't turn him away... 


Hawk Delgado knows more about Gwen than she could ever imagine. She's gorgeous, headstrong, and skittish about relationships. But Hawk is facing his own demons, demons that keep him from connecting with anyone. Yet when Gwen is drawn into Denver's lethal underground scene, Hawk's protective nature comes out full force. The problem is, when Gwen gets a dose of Hawk's Alpha attitude in the daylight, she's not so sure he's the one anymore.... 




Gwen and Mystery Man have a sexual relationship for a year and a half. He breaks into her home at night and slips into her bed regulary. 



The way this relationship plays out during this time is strange for this reader: #1: She never asks his name? and #2:She never speaks to him at all? 


I would have been waiting at the front door for him or at the least left the windows and doors unlocked!

When danger finds Gwen the first person to show to protect her is Mystery Man. She then finds out that he knows all about her and she learns who he is. Cabe “Hawk” Delgado is a badass alpha commando who speaks in phrases like "you with me" and "Babe eyes". Hawk has the means to protect her through his background and his business.



Gwen also finds out that he saw her first at the bar that night:

I asked to be seated in that booth,” he informed me and I sucked in a breath at what he might be saying. Then I breathed it out on a, “What?” “Clocked you before you clocked me, Gwen.” 

Gwen’s troubles land her the attention of other hot alphas: Tack from Ride and Detective Mitch Lawson who are interested in protecting her and winning her attention.

Conquering explosions, kidnappings and the Russian Mafia, Hawk fights through any obstacles for Gwen. They get to know each other during these life threatening events and fall completely in love. 


Hawk, the hero, was Gwen's mystery man and she had been his booty call for a year and a half. He had said like 3 words to her at a restaurant, I think they were"Are you coming?" After that he would just show up in her bed give her lots of "O's" coupled with wild romps and then be gone in the morning. Gwen struggled with her conscience and this pattern, but in the end gave in to it even though this submissive behavior was so far from Gwen's spunky personality. 

Then Gwen is threatened and dragged into a big mess because of her trashy sister's illegal actions. Gwen marches into a biker shop that houses a very dangerous biker gang to find out where her sister is. She catches the eye of the gang leader who is HOT! then is interrogated by a police detective who is HOT! and then her midnight mystery man shows up (who is HOT!) to scold her. Once Hawk opens his mouth to tell her she has just created a big mess she decides she doesn't like his high handedness and they are over...he shouldn't have opened his mouth. Hawk laughs at her, loves the attitude that she gives him and realizes how much he has missed out of over the pass year and a half with not getting to know her. Such parody, it was hysterical.

Hawk was killer, beyond arrogant, I mean if there was a scale from 1 to 10 he would be like 100 and I mean arrogant not just confident. Enter Gwen, Hawk's perfect match, she didn't take his crap (except for the the first year and a half when he didn't open his mouth, at least for talking) At the beginning because Gwen had many other potential leading men, I wasn't even sure I wanted her with Hawk, but as the story progressed there was no questions. I actually think of all of KA alpha men that I have met so far Hawk would be their leader. 

Mystery Man also had so many other lovable characters from family to friends, a couple a different climaxes, some heart pounders, some heartbreakers--loved them all. I can't wait to read my next Kristen Ashley book!
