If I'd never read Kristen Ashley's Sweet Dreams & Motorcycle Man I'd talk about how the book need serious editing to improve the pace of the story. I'd talk about how annoying the heroine is and what a good character Dex could be if the author would show us rather than tell us over and over again. Like others I'd complain about some of the juvenile things that we're supposed to buy into from these characters...fart humor? Really? Are we in 5th grade?But I have read KA's books and the first 20% of this book is a long winded copy of the conflict between the hero & heroine in Sweet Dreams. The hero, in a foul mood, says something nasty about the heroine and she can't let it go even after he tells her he didn't mean it. He starts to call her babe, then uses her real name when she wasn't even sure he knew it. She won't look at him, yada, yada. I haven't actually checked, but I'd say that some of the dialog is perilously close to being the same. However, in Sweet Dreams the conceit doesn't go on forever. It's dealt with and the story moves on without endless repetition.In the second half of this book we're told more about this MC, which has a history that's incredibly similar to Chaos MC  from Motorcycle Man. At this point I was fairly outraged, so I gave up.I'm giving it 1 star for some of the writing and characters on the off chance that the author has never heard of KA and miraculously has the same ideas. And because that's the least I can give and still leave a review.
