REVIEW. Own the Wind (Chaos #1) by Kristen Ashley

Oh shit that was good!

I've only read a handful of KA books (Unfinished Hero series) so I went in to this not having a clue who the characters were. Now, this was okay.. I wasn't confused and I got everything that was going but I wish I already had that connection and *knew* the characters. So now I'm going to go off and read The Dream Man series, especially Motorcycle Man so I can fall in love with the rest of them.

Now on this book and I have one thing to say... Shy. SAWOOOON. Jeez he was all kinds of hot badass biker. One thing I absolutely adore about KA books is the no bullshit approach she seems to have to the relationships she creates. The men, including Shy, may be all bad and biker-y but that doesn't mean they treat a woman, their old lady, like shit. Oh no. They worship the ground they walk on and treat them like royalty. Once that relationship is formed you can almost rest easy that they will stay together and get their HAE. I love that. I love having a break from all the angsty crap that tears so many of these relationships apart. So as I was saying.. Shy is as you would expect. Hot. Biker. Badass.

"May feel like you're fallin', Tabby, but remember, I'm at the bottom ready to catch you."

Tabby, Tab, Tabitha... maybe another of my favourite characters. Apparently anybody that read Motorcycle Man me her there but like I said, I didn't read that. That didn't stop me completely loving her character though. She is the daughter of the Chaos MC President but that doesn't stop her standing up for what she wants, and what she wants is Shy. She has since she was 16. The majority of this book takes place when Tabby is in her early 20's where she is nursing a broken heart. Shy is there for her in all the ways that matter and helps her heal and learn to love again. I love how their relationship started off as friends, turned to shit, they got that friendship back and eventually turned it in to more. So much more. This book just goes to show love really can withstand a TON.

"I'm an us again, and that's what I'll be with my woman and the family we make until the day I fucking die."

I'm sure by now you can tell I'm a little in love with this book but if not, I'll just clear that up.. I'm a lot in love with it. The characters, the plot, the emotions, it was everything I want in a book done to perfection. There's just enough drama to keep you hooked and wanting more but not too much to have you rolling your eyes and finding it less than believable.

"I dreamed a dream when I was sixteen and here I am, standing with my dream, feeling it come real."
