(Dream Team #1)
by
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Dream Man and Rock Chick series comes a brand new story about love, friendship, and the bonds of sisterhood.
Evie is a bonafide nerd and a hyper-intelligent chick who has worked her whole life to get what she wants. Growing up, she had no support from her family and has only ever been able to rely on herself. So when Evie decides she wants to earn her engineering degree, she realizes she needs to take an alternative path to get there. She takes a job dancing at Smithie's club thinking this would be a quick side gig, where she can make the money she needs. But with her lack of dancing skills and an alpha bad boy who becomes overly protective, Evie realizes this might not be as easy as she thought.
Daniel "Mag" Magnusson knows a thing or two about pain, but the mask he wears is excellent. No one can tell that this good-looking, quick-witted, and roguish guy has deep-seated issues. Mag puts on a funny-guy routine so he can hide his broken heart and PTSD. But when Evie dances her way into Mag's life, he realizes that he needs to come face-to-face with the demons of his past if he wants a future with her.

My Dream Maker Review . . .
I have always loved Kristen Ashley and she did not disappoint with this great story. The Dream team is a spin off from the Dream Man series and also the Rock Chick series via Lottie. The jumping point of this series is Quiet Man which is a novella from the Dream Man series.
We meet Daniel "Mag" Magnusson in Quiet Man but also hear the name Evie from that book. Dream Maker starts with Lottie trying to set up Evie and Mag on a blind date.
I loved Evie. She was quirky and rad all the same time. I love how instantly Mag fell for her. As all of KA's alpha men, Mag gets caught up in situation that evolves Evie and he immediately is all in with protecting her and having her in his life.
In Quiet Man we know that Mag had his heart broken which caused him to go a bit wild and never commit again but once he found Evie his heart started to mend. I liked the closure we get with that story line here in Dream Maker.
Because this is a KA book we also get more of the KA world with the Rock Chicks and some boys from Chaos. Super excited to see characters from other books. Especially Tex. How I missed Tex but we get to see him in all his glory.
"I only do deliveries to women whose lives are in danger!" he bellowed what was clearly not a joke. "Get your ass up here, you want a coffee."Due to the fact that Evie's biological family sucks balls she ends up sucked in to a situation she can't get out of. Though during this we also get to meet more of her co-workers whom Lottie has tried to fix up with Mo and Mag's workmates and friends. I absolutely can't wait for more from this series and KA.
Evie was a super strong character though I could have done without her giggling. I don't know why but giggling for me in books always lessens the strength of some characters for me.
I adored this story and now can't to follow up with listening to this story via audible.
"Well, if being tied to a chair but doing it breathing and without any broken bones is okay then yeah. I'm okay," she said.
4 Dream Making Thumbs up!
