She has been through so much and she has faced disappointments in her life. Trying to think she has a real shot with Axl is too much for her to dream. Yet, she is force to face off with him as she needs his help to ward off a stalker.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Axl<\/strong> is former military guy. He is the kind of hero that Hattie needs. He is strong, caring and ready to make her his woman. I loved how he treated her. Yes, he has to be my favorite hero of the series so far.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have had my ups and down with this series but I did enjoy this one the best out of the series so far. Yes, it is very triggering. I really dislike all the abuse Hattie had went through but Axl is the man. Oh my!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hattie really had to work on her confidence throughout the story. It kept throwing up roadblocks but Axl handles that quickly. There is a lot of angst in this story and the action picks up with the weird creepy stalker. Axl is more than ready to protect the woman he loves. I just can\u2019t help feeling gushy when I think of him.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Outside of the stalker situation, I really disliked Hattie\u2019s father. The abuse that he inflicted upon her is just horrible. She is so weary of men because of his behavior and rightfully so. I\u2019m glad she got the man to help her back to loving herself.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now I really am looking forward to going back and reading through Ms. Ashley\u2019s catalog. Fans of sweet contemporary romances will love this one. Now I\u2019m left wondering whose story is next.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cg3x9B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/dream-spinner\/id1530770023?itsct=books_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_dream_spinner&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/dream-spinner-kristen-ashley\/1137602679?ean=9781538733943\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/dream-spinner-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Kristen_Ashley_Dream_Spinner?id=Qrz7DwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hattie Yates has finally met the man of her dreams.

Yet despite the attraction burning between them, Hattie refuses to let him in. The former soldier is determined to woo her into letting down her walls. And when danger comes calling, he\u2019s up against more than her wary and bruised heart.

She has been through so much and she has faced disappointments in her life. Trying to think she has a real shot with Axl is too much for her to dream. Yet, she is force to face off with him as she needs his help to ward off a stalker.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Axl<\/strong> is former military guy. He is the kind of hero that Hattie needs. He is strong, caring and ready to make her his woman. I loved how he treated her. Yes, he has to be my favorite hero of the series so far.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have had my ups and down with this series but I did enjoy this one the best out of the series so far. Yes, it is very triggering. I really dislike all the abuse Hattie had went through but Axl is the man. Oh my!<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hattie really had to work on her confidence throughout the story. It kept throwing up roadblocks but Axl handles that quickly. There is a lot of angst in this story and the action picks up with the weird creepy stalker. Axl is more than ready to protect the woman he loves. I just can\u2019t help feeling gushy when I think of him.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Outside of the stalker situation, I really disliked Hattie\u2019s father. The abuse that he inflicted upon her is just horrible. She is so weary of men because of his behavior and rightfully so. I\u2019m glad she got the man to help her back to loving herself.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Now I really am looking forward to going back and reading through Ms. Ashley\u2019s catalog. Fans of sweet contemporary romances will love this one. Now I\u2019m left wondering whose story is next.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Samantha<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3cg3x9B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/dream-spinner\/id1530770023?itsct=books_box_link&amp;itscg=30200&amp;at=11l88k&amp;ct=books_dream_spinner&amp;ls=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/dream-spinner-kristen-ashley\/1137602679?ean=9781538733943\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/dream-spinner-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Kristen_Ashley_Dream_Spinner?id=Qrz7DwAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27280"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29615,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27280\/revisions\/29615"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
