Ride Steady:
Chaos Book 3
Summary:
From Goodreads.com
The ride of her life
. . .
Once upon a time, Carissa Teodoro believed in happy endings.
Money, marriage, motherhood: everything came easy---until she woke up to the
ugly truth about her Prince Charming. Now a struggling, single mom and stranded
by a flat tire, Carissa's pondering her mistakes when a vaguely familiar knight
rides to her rescue on a ton of horsepower.
Climb on and hold
tight . . .
In high school, Carson Steele was a bad boy loner who put
Carissa on a pedestal where she stayed far beyond his reach. Today, he's the
hard-bodied biker known only as Joker, and from the way Carissa's acting, it's
clear she's falling fast. While catching her is irresistible, knowing what to
do with her is a different story. A good girl like Carissa is the least likely
fit with the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Too bad holding back is so damned hard.
Now, as Joker's secrets are revealed and an outside threat endangers the club,
Joker must decide whether to ride steady with Carissa---or ride away forever .

Review:
So my thoughts on this book are this… I loved it! From
beginning to end it kept me fully engaged and entertained. I stayed up late
reading, was late getting back to work at lunch because I was too engrossed and
was sad when it ended. I have enjoyed all the books in the Chaos series so far.
Shy is still my favorite but damn does Joker give him a run for his money. He’s
all stoic and shit.. He’s loved Carissa since he was a teenager and when he
rescues her alongside the highway he’s pretty upset when she doesn’t remember
him. When he left she was the darling of their high school and had a bright
future in front of her, now she’s in a pretty bad situation and Joker can’t
help but to lend a helping hand but is determined to keep his distance. Carissa
is just as determined to pull him in. Joker put up a good resistance but in the
end his will was no match for Carissa, she broke him down little by little. I
really adored watching it happen; there was no way Joker wasn’t going to give
in no matter how much he wanted to stay away. Some things are just meant. Both
Carissa and Joker had some hard knocks growing up. Carissa lost half her family
and Joker was severely beaten by his old man. These things affected each differently. It
made Carissa crave a family, home and hearth she never closed her heart to
love. Joker basically withdrew from all emotion, a part of life but not really
participating. He even keeps his brothers at an arm’s length. I think Jokers
change is the most dramatic in this book and it does your heart some good as
you watch him start to open up and let people in. He starts to belong to his
brotherhood and lets Carissa and her son into his heart. There are some bumps
along the way but these two stick it out and stick together. They know that
together with the help of friends they can tackle anything, including a drug
lord and Carissa asshole ex-husband. I highly suggest this book and if you love
rough around the edges alpha men this series is for you!
