ABOUT Ride
Steady:
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
BY: DONNA
I have to say Kristen Ashley has once
again written an amazing story!!!!!! I am most definitely rating this book a 5
out 5!!!!! This book can absolutely be read as standalone but is so much
better when you know most of the characters from the other books.
Carrie and Joker run into each other
years after knowing each other in school. They are both very different people
now. Each with baggage to deal with from the past and present.
Carrie has an adorable baby and a nasty ex husband and Joker is a sexy member
of "The Chaos Motorcycle Club". The goal seems to be to stick
together and they might get to the other side of the rainbow.
I also have to say I loved,
"Angie" the lawyer to Chaos. Now she can kick booty.
Oh! Don't forget the tissues when
sitting down to read the newest addition to Chaos.
REVIEW
BY: AMY E.
A strong but close to breaking woman
finds her happy ending in the form of a long haired, Harley riding, badass
biker. Who brought in the whole of Chaos MC to give his girl the family and
friends she wanted and needed in her life. The give and take between Carissa
and Joker was amazing. No games just honesty and love. Attention
grabbing characters, emotional storyline, and chalked full of badasses this
book had it all.
REVIEW
BY: LEEANN
Carson had a crap upbringing. He had
no mother and an abusive father. He was beaten daily. His secret high school
crush and a couple of great neighbors is what got him through his hell.
Once he was old enough he got out and
made a life for himself. He joined an MC and Joker was born.
Carissa had a different life. She had
a father who loved her but together they suffered their own tragedies. She went
on to marry her high school boyfriend and have a child with him.
Both Carissa and Carson learn that
life doesn't always work out the way you think it will and when they are thrown
back together with the help of fate, they both realize things will never
be the same.
This had the potential to be a 5 star
book. The foundation of the story was there but there were some issues. When
ever the story was told from Carissa's POV the story was told in the 1st person
and whenever it was from Carson's it was in the 3rd person. This stopped the
story from flowing through and was sometimes hard to follow. I think the other
issue is that the story dragged on too long. There were parts that were
overwritten and others that didn't have enough detail.
The development of the characters was
good and I could see where the story was supposed to go but it just didn't get
there for me.
MEET Kristen
Ashley:
I was born a middle class white child
in Gary, Indiana, USA. One of the last of a dying breed. I nearly killed my
mother and myself making it into the world, seeing as I had the umbilical cord
wrapped around my neck (already attempting to accessorize and I hadn’t taken my
first breath!). Mom says they took me away, put her back in her room, she
looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated
four days before). She remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite
the dramatic beginning.
Nothing’s changed.
All I’ve ever wanted to do was write
(well, and be the Queen of the World, but you gotta start small) and I’ve
published a gazillion books and counting (and a gazillion is a lot! shoo!).You
can learn about my titles that have been released or that are soon to be
released in the Titles section of the website.
Even though I jump genres, there is
always a theme to my books…humor (hopefully), engaging characters (again,
hopefully) and romance (definitely).
My loves are movies, music, food and
fashion and I partake of all of them as often as I can (the middle two more
than the others, the former, which takes time I don’t often have and the
latter, which takes money I rarely have). In fact, I love food so much, I like
to share my good fortune so I put my recipes on offer for you on this page (see
top menu and don’t miss them, they’re awesome!).
I grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and
have lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus I’m
blessed to have friends and family around the globe. My family was (is) loopy
(to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write and growing up it
was large and multi-generational. We all lived together on a very small farm in
a small farm town in the heartland. I grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly
Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a
good way to grow up.
And as I keep growing up, it keeps
getting better.
So here I am, thank goodness.
