A Real Man: The Dream is the first story in Susan Saxx’s novella length series Soldiers Coming Home and focuses on Cole Dawson, former leader of the Delta North Special Ops Military Team and his return to the family ranch and all that entails. I wanted to love this story as I’m a big fan of military men and their transition back to civilian life, but it was just too rushed and finished abruptly without any real flow to the storyline. I’m hoping book two will have a better fluidity to the story, as I may discard the series if book two isn’t a whole lot better.

Tabby is an author on a book signing tour and Cole is the military/cowboy type that goes with her to accent her book and to protect her if need be. They both secretly long for the other, but Tabby has scars, inside and out, that prevent her from having confidence and intimate relationships. Loved the way these two work alongside each other. So many ways that this series can go from here – the ranch, family, finances, relationships, commitment and more. Can not wait to read the next book about this group. Well done.

Cole Dawson, leader of the elite Delta North Team, has come back home to chaos. His dad is seriously ill in the hospital, and odd things happening at the family ranch look like sabotage. To get come needed funds, he takes a job as a “Cowboy Prop”, a cowboy presence i.e. eye-candy to be there for the author at a book signing.
Cole meets Tabby and there is a connection, his protective nature immediately kicking in. Both of them are dealing with difficult things. For Tabby, she lost so much after the accident and still shows the physical scars and the loss of confidence at her ex-fiance’s callous treatment; yet she and Cole have the ability to help each other begin to heal. This is the start of a beautiful romance. But the happenings at the ranch still need to be resolved. Can he find out where the attacks are coming from?
This book is a prologue to an upcoming story and series. The story of Tabby and Cole is introduced in this book but it’s just the beginning. An interesting introduction because we know how they know each other but not sure how much of it is real or just a dream she has. Interested to read the story and find out what happens with this couple. I do like the introduction it gives to the world Susan has created and the characters we will be falling in love with.

The first book in the Real Men series this book is a novella expanding on Tabby’s erotic dream, occurring in A Real Man: The First Miracle. What a story I enjoyed Cole Dawson and Tabby Logan’s start to their story. This story was well worth reading.
Loved this book, but wanted a bit more. I wanted to see Cole and Tabby save the ranch, Cole propose, a wedding, a pregnancy announcement. I want the whole HEA!!!
Tabitha “Tabby” Grey wrote an erotic cowboy romance and is doing a booksigning tour. Cole was hired to be a prop cowboy and bodyguard. She’s sworn off men after her accident and ex left her. She’s afraid that once he learns her secret he’ll leave too.
I have had this one on my TBR list for a long time. I enjoyed this book. This is a well written book with sweet characters. This was a quick easy read. I would encourage you to get this book. This is the first book by this author I have read but it will not be the last.
Enjoyable
This was a great art about a sexy Canadian cowboy and a writer who needed to find herself after an accurate left her scared.
Short but good with strong characters. Maybe too short, I feel this could have been a full length book as there are hints to background stories for both characters that could have been built on. Definitely worth reading.
