He’s perfect—but he can’t be hers.

Pepper Hannigan is determined to keep any romance off the table—and out of her bedroom—while her daughter Juno is still young. Sure, a certain handsome commando is thoughtful, funny, and undeniably hot, but Pepper’s had her heart broken before, and she won’t let it happen again. Not to her or her little girl, even if this hero could melt any woman’s resolve.

Augustus “Auggie” Hero can’t deny his attraction to beautiful, warm-hearted Pepper or how much he wants to make a home with her and her little girl, but Pepper’s mixed signals have kept him away. That is, until Juno decides to play matchmaker. Her efforts finally bring Pepper into his arms, but they expose the danger Pepper is in. To protect Pepper and Juno, Auggie will have to live up to his last name and prove happy endings aren’t just for fairy tales.

Part 4 of a spin off series

My Dream Keeper Review . . .

It has felt like forever waiting for Pepper and Auggie's story. When I sign up to be part of blitz or tour it is not always guaranteed that you will get chosen. For this one I was bummed I didn't get chosen that I had get my KA fix so I re-read the whole Colorado Mountain Man Series, then when I was on Bounty I got the email that I was part of this blitz and I was super excited. As I love all things KA. Literally everything she writes I am all in.

In Dream Spinner we get a bit of Pepper and Auggie from the other couples wanting to fix them up. We also got a preview into Dream Keeper which is the first chapter where Pepper pushes Auggie away and I was not sure how this was going to play out.

Now reading Dream Keeper, KA again did a great job of keeping me reeled in and loving this couple as well as Juno and Mr. Cisco. I also assumed that this one was the last book in the series and I wasn't sure how we were going to wrap up the dirty cop story line. Then I got really confused for a bit because that story line was on the back burner and barely spoken about for a majority of the book and I was all like "what???", THEN we got the alluding that there will be more dream team books, YEAH!!!!!! We were also left with a bit of a cliff hanger on the police story line hooking us into more to see how that all plays out.

Juno was a great kid and I loved her character. I also loved her friendship with Brett (Mr. Cisco). With how Pepper treated Auggie at the beginning I wasn't sure if I was going to love her as much as the others, PLUS she was a giggler. And I am NEVER a fan of gigglers in stories. Thankfully the giggling was short lived and Pepper was super zen like which made me love her.

Auggie was loveable from beginning to end. When Auggie had to deal with his family I was a bit shocked Pepper didn't throw in like the others but then I realized that would go against her zen like character. And she threw in when she needed to and at the right moments.

Auggie's parents were a piece of work and I was so happy for him that he got to see what a healthy loving family can be like. I loved how he was with Juno. I also loved that Juno loved Auggie for her mother more than her father. Which helped cement to show how awesome Auggie is.

I loved the premise of this series being a spin off. I loved the whole large story arc and how it ties in almost all of the other series. I loved all the characters in this series. I am so ecstatic to carry on with this series. Can't wait for more from this series and this author

4 Keeping the dream alive thumbs up!
