About this listen

Goodreads Author of the Year 2012, Nominee.

2012, Goodreads Reader's Choice Nominee, Best Romance.

She's ready for the ride of her life....

Lauren Grahame is looking for her bit of peace. After leaving her cheating husband, Lauren moves to Carnal, Colorado, and gets a job as a waitress in a biker bar called Bubba's. It's a nothing job in a nowhere joint...until Tatum Jackson walks in.

Lauren has never seen a man with such looks and attitude. But Tate does something Lauren doesn't much like and she doesn't want anything to do with him. Too bad for Lauren he's also the bar's part-owner and bartender. When the rough-around-the-edges Tate meets the high-class Lauren, he thinks she won't fit in at Bubba's.

Yet there's more to Lauren than meets the eye, and Tate soon sets his mind on claiming her as his own. Before long, they can't deny the attraction that's pulling them together. But when violence strikes the town, threatening the women in it, their sweet dreams may come to an end.

Great story line

I really enjoyed the story line of this book. It's a great combination of romance mixed in with a murder mystery that keeps you guessing and in suspense the whole way. The narrator does the voices well but I find her reading flow very stilted. You do get used to it but it does detract somewhat. One other thing that bothers me is the authors repetitive use of sentences. Again you get used to it but definitely something I picked up on. You get a bonus look into the next book in the series at the end which is contributing to me wanting to read more of these books. Will read again.

So Much More Than Sweet

Would you listen to Sweet Dreams again? Why?

Yep, I'd listen to this book again. It's hot sexy escapism - there's a lot to like!

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed the sassy sexy banter between the two main characters. It drew me in and kept me engaged all the way through to the end.

Have you listened to any of Emma Taylor’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I've listened to a number of Emma Taylor's performances and I'd rate her right up there amongst the best. This one is no exception. Taylor's voice lends itself well to female characters with sass and backbone but performs equally well in softer situations. I particularly like Taylor's male characters and this is one of my favorites - seductive sexy and oh so alpha.

Any additional comments?

Enjoyed the storyline, setting and cast of characters. Looking forward to hooking up with them again in future stories. As for Ashley's sex scenes, they were equally generous in quantity and detail - hot hot hot. Well worth a credit/purchase.

Fantastic story!!

I always enjoy works by Kristen Ashley but this was a favourite on the list. Great story, great imperfect characters and great romance and sexiness. I love a long listen too so it was perfect and I definitely recommend using a credit on this one!

Far fetched and a bit cringey

I persevered with this one but I found it a bit unbelievable (it’s fictional so that’s not terrible)
I don’t like female characters who are written to allow men to be controlling and think it’s somehow flattering or sweet.
I hated the sex scenes, I found them cringe worthy and unrealistic. I don’t think I’d read another from this author.
