3.5 starsMC books are still pretty new to me, but I've already come to an understanding what to expect about it. It usually involves promiscuous men, where brotherhood comes before anything else and the business they deal in isn't always that legal. Of course there are many variations on this, though the setup is familiar. The same here, as Shy is part of Chaos. He pledged as a complete outsider, but was very soon part of the family. While he might feel a special attraction towards Tabby, she's off limits and well other ladies are not. That brotherhood though is the most important for him, that feeling of belonging to a family, and he's not risking it for a woman.Tabby grew up surrounded by Chaos men, with her dad being the leader. She knows how they are, but when you're attracted to someone, it's not easy to just turn that off. As a teenager and young adult she had the urge to push those boundaries, and the Chaos men always came to her rescue. Until one night Shy had enough of it, forcing her to face the reality of what she was turning into.That really was a wake up call for Tabby, and things have changed since then. Both took a bit their separate ways, though never forgetting about this connection between them. When tragedy strikes for Tabby, Shy is there to pick up the pieces. It's the beginning of a long journey towards healing, friendship and even more. Because no matter what, Shy will always be there for Tabby.Shy and Tabby are two interesting characters. Tabby grew up in this world and had no choice to participate in it, the danger it sometimes brings and those men are a big influence on her life. While Shy had quite a different upbringing, in some ways much worse than Tabby. His need for family lead him to Chaos and therefore to Tabby. Though there was always this attraction between them, they don't act on it at first. It starts of as friendship and gradually turns into something so much bigger.There is of course that fear of the rest of the MC finding out, because Tabby is kind of the princess and therefore untouchable by some. They will need to prove that their love is strong and true. They will need to have each other's back at all time. The biggest danger momentarily comes from the Chaos family, but Shy isn't one to back down and when he gives away his heart, it means forever.I freaking love these books. I've been on a Kristen Ashley binge read and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. Shy and Tabby are amazing, and very easy to relate to. Tabby has grown a lot even since the beginning of this book towards the end. She has turned into a wonderful young woman. Shy is the bomb. While he obviously has that dangerous edge, and bossy, it's not overwhelming and it's so very clear how much he cares about Tabby. As usual I recommend you read this, as so far I've loved every single one of her books. This one certainly if you're into the MC scene or like a good story about forbidden love. This story starts 3 years later after 'Motorcycle man' When Tabby is 19 and Shy is 24. In the prologue Shy teaches Tabby a lesson because he wants to put her on the straight and narrow, but in doing so he broke her heart and made her cry. Tabby holds a grudge by avoiding him and ignoring him. Shy doesn't see her for months but you find things out about her life through conversation, the same time as Shy does. Tabby does go through a real heart breaking experience and after a year and a half of Tabby and Shy not talking they find a way back to each other. Then the story begins…Because Shy is a brother and Tabby grew up in the MC, Tabby accepts most things. Because the plot was a love story, how Tabby and Shy handle Natalie (Tabby' s bff) how they handle the brothers in the MC when they find out Tabby and Shy are together, how they handle "Dr. Dickhead" that is making work life miserable for Tabby, Tabby' s family. To me there wasn't a big enough event that pulled this story together for me. The real event happened involved Natalie and we (as the reader) only hear about things when Shy gets back. The reason it was a major "thing" because it changes things for the MC. To me it was pushed to the side and we focused on Tabby and Shy.I loved Tack and Tyra in 'Motorcycle man' but in this book, I was annoyed with them. When they found out that Tabby and Shy were together, they acted like teenagers, not taking any of Tabby' s calls or returning her messages. They had a tantrum and through there toys out the pram. I we so happy when Tabby had her say with Tyra because, Tyra was always the reasonable one, not in this case.I gave this book 5 stars but to me it was more a 4.5 but I couldn't give it a 4. I have liked KA books so far, but in this book I believe that some of the side plots could have been made more off.I do recommend this book but I do suggest to read the 'dream man series' first, because they are just absolutely brilliant, and all the characters cross over to each other's books.The next book in this series is 'Fire inside' Hop and Lannie' s story.
What do You think about Own The Wind (2013)?
The he-man attitude is bugging me....I think I will come back later and read next one in series.
