A Quiet Man - Dream Team #0.5 - Kristen Ashley
Sum up: (Goodreads)
Charlotte “Lottie” McAlister is in the zone. She’s ready to take on the next chapter of her life, and since she doesn’t have a man, she’ll do what she’s done all along. She’ll take care of business on her own. Even if that business means starting a family.
The problem is, Lottie has a stalker. The really bad kind. The kind that means she needs a bodyguard.
Enter Mo Morrison.
Enormous. Scary.
Quiet.
Mo doesn’t say much, and Lottie’s used to getting attention. And she wants Mo’s attention. Badly.
But Mo has a strict rule. If he’s guarding your body, that’s all he’s doing with it.
However, the longer Mo has to keep Lottie safe, the faster he falls for the beautiful blonde who has it so together, she might even be able to tackle the demons he’s got in his head that just won’t die.
But in the end, Lottie and Mo don’t only have to find some way to keep hands off until the threat is over, they have to negotiate the overprotective Hot Bunch, Lottie’s crazy stepdad, Tex, Mo’s crew of frat-boy commandos, not to mention his nutty sisters.
All before Lottie finally gets her Dream Man.
And Mo can lay claim to his Dream Girl.

Plot:
Lottie (for those who do not remember Lottie, she is Jet's sister starred in "Rock Chick Rescue") is a very successful stripper. She loves her life. She is not ashamed of her job and neither will she apologize for who she is. But seeing all the "Rock chicks" meeting their "dream men", Lottie is feeling lonely and she is set on having a baby by herself. But it is not her most urgent problem. A creepy stalker is making threats. Smithie being Smithie, he decides to call in Hawk's commando and hence Mo meets Lottie.
And when these two meet, chemistry is off the roof...

Opinion:
So by now you probably know that I am a sucker for everything Kristen Ashley releases. And this one did not disappoint. Even though it is a "novella", trust me when I say it is long enough to be a solid 253-pages book.
There isn't much action in this book since I felt like it was mostly installing the Dream Team series. But we were still graced with hot steam moments between Lottie and Mo. I mean, I just fell in love with both of them.
Lottie is a woman I'd love to be: self-assured, strong, smart, savvy, beautiful, sassy. She is such a gorgeous woman, almost perfect, with so much love to give but she has no one (yet) to give it to. Enter Mo. (sigh). He is perfect in all his imperfections. Mo has been raised by an amazing woman (which explains why he is close to perfection) with four sisters, so he kind of understands women (or at least he tries his best). He is not much of a talker but he is a total observer. He had been in service and brought back internal scars that never fully healed.
From the beginning, you could tell they belonged to each other. They completely balance each other's personality. Mo is very quiet (hence the title) while Lottie is super cheerful and talkative and they just fell for each other at first sight.
Their love story was cute, perfect and so much fun. I laughed... a lot. I can't wait to have more of this "Dream Team". I also loved getting glimpses of Jet, Eddie and their kids. So cute, my heart couldn't take it!
Anyway, you probably understood that if you are a fan of Kristen Ashley as much as I am, this one is also for you. You have everything you need: alpha male, gorgeous girl, hot scenes, danger... Less action than in her other books but I am sure she will come back with more of it in the second book of the series.

“I make you mine, officially,” he continued, “no one ever has you again, Lottie, but me.”

“She’s under your skin,” Hawk murmured.“She’s not under my skin. I sleep on her couch. I guard her. But when this is over, she’ll be in my life. My choice? For the rest of it. So that’s not under my skin. She’s just going to be a part of me.”

“Mistake number one.He watched her dance.Mistake number two.He left her sightline when she was exposed and needed to know he had her.Mistake number three.He let it slip his mind she was tangled up with the Rock Chicks.Mistake number four.He also forgot her stepfather was a lunatic.”
