Sweet Dreams (Colorado Mountain, #2) in Some Like It Hot!

Feb 06, 2016 Jessica Gadziala rated it really liked it

Shelves: romance

Hmm. I dunno how to rate this one. I am going to go with a 4.25 because it was definitely good and, despite being super lengthy, didn't get boring... but I just didn't... love it. It's hard to get over a hero that calls the heroine "old, fat, and sorry-assed" upon first meeting her. Doesn't matter how sweet he got later on, that nagged at me the whole time. ...more

Lauren Grahame & Tatum Jackson

Updated Review ~ 08/17/2024 ~ still 4 stars

I have to say that although I still like this book (it's hard not to), I thought Tate spent a lot of this being a jackass. He admits he is, but doesn't really do anything to change it and Lauren is supposed to be okay with that.

I honestly may have forgiven it if it wasn't for his initial scene when he first met Lauren. This time around I had a hard time forgiving him for those comments. Maybe it's because I'm around the sa Lauren Grahame & Tatum Jackson

I honestly may have forgiven it if it wasn't for his initial scene when he first met Lauren. This time around I had a hard time forgiving him for those comments. Maybe it's because I'm around the same age now that Lauren was in the book, and I feel that differently now.

What brought it back for me were the sweet moments between them and how he was with her as their relationship progressed.

What I like the most about Kristen Ashley's books?
They always have me laughing out loud.
They always feature hot alpha's
They always feature strong women

This one was no exception. Lauren has been searching for a place to call home and she finds that in Carnal,CO. She wasn't looking for love, but found herself being the center of the attention of two men. Well, the first being Tate and our hero, screwed up when she first officially met him and he had a lot of ground to cover to get her and it didn't help that his job had him leaving town as soon as he was able to convince her to forgive him. Then we had Wood, who was there when she wasn't so sure about Tate and his intentions.

Both hot, both wanting her.

Well, tragedy strikes and Tate steps in to be their for Lauren and makes his presence in her life known, not only to her, but to Wood also.

Now, that things seem to be going pretty good for the hero and heroine, women are turning up dead. In Carnal, and surrounding area. They soon realize that it is someone they most likely know who is committing the crimes. But who?

You will have to read the book to experience the ups and downs of the journey of our H/h hea and to find out who the culprit is. I will say that for the first time in a long time, I didn't have it figured out. ...more

Shelves: re-read

It is so hard to choose which KA series is my favorite when all of them get me from the start. I felt this was a special iBook that was sentimental and mushy. It was sexy and touching and the characters were so easy to fall in love with and root for!!!!!

Ms. Ashley writes compelling stories that need a heavy hand with an editor. Some of her writing quirks are just too much. The cutsey nicknames. The use of "babe" and "sorry" as a complete sentences. Jumping around the timeline and, bizarrely enough, jumping around points of view for only the last chapter are unique to this story and unwelcome. Where Ms. Ashley shines is in fleshing out her secondary characters and in building a believable small town atmosphere. Her stories are interesting and he ...more
