He could pretend he could take it or leave it. What he wasn’t was a man who hid that he liked what he saw. Hop was good-looking, smart, confident, and charismatic. Lanie also has been treated badly by the men in her life in general and so, when Hopper comes along, she can tell he’s special. You take a chance on me, your biggest worry is your 7Up fizzing over.” I’m talkin’ about Club business, life, every second you live, every breath you take. I’m talkin’ about assholes with monster trucks. I am the goddamn shield, and I’m not talkin’ about bullets because shit like that does not touch old ladies. You’ll learn to trust me, the brothers, Tack. You breathe easy if you take a chance on me. If you don’t know shit, you don’t feel shit. That certainly helps (why wouldn’t it?) but it is not a cure and Lanie has things to do to move on and Hop and Tyra both help Lanie with that.
I liked that it is not just the power of lurrrve which heals her and it is not Hop’s MIGHTY wang of lovin’ either. Even though it is clear that neither Tack nor Tyra hold her responsible, she does.
Lanie is still suffering from tremendous guilt over the events at the end of Motorcycle Man. “Every step, every breath, every second I lived on this earth, I’m thankful for, no matter how fucked up or whacked or hard or good, ’cause all that shit led me to you.” There are things in his life he’s not proud of but he’s proud he helped Chaos get out of “bad shit” it was into before Tack took over the club. His moral code is strong and he sticks to it.
He’s a good dad, he sings (dude, he’s a rock star!) and he’s hot, hot, hot. Believe it or not, the quotes in this review aren’t even all of them. Still, I can’t deny that I do enjoy the older protagonists here – it is still quite rare in romance I think to have a hero who’s 40 and a heroine who’s 39.Īs is usual for me with a Kristen Ashley book, I went mad with the highlighter, there are so many excellent lines in there. I like that Ashley mainly writes older heroes and heroines, even though I didn’t have any trouble relating to Tabby and Shy and I don’t feel like I enjoyed Own The Wind less because they were younger. Why, Lanie? Why the fuck would you pull out all the fuckin’ stops to make a man already drunk on you drunker ?” “You knocked yourself out to make me wild. “Fuck me, babe, seriously?” he ground out then threw a hand toward the bed. In this book, there is an explanation which is much better than Ross Geller‘s even if there was something a little reminiscent of it. In fact, in Motorcycle Man, he is a bit of a cheating cheatypants. I guess in part, this was because Lanie’s backstory was caught up in Motorcycle Man (Tack!). As much as I enjoyed Shy and Tabby in Own The Wind, I preferred this book. Tack is still my favourite but Hop is next in line from the Dream Man/Chaos series so far. But that was before I had my mouth between the legs of a lady. What worked for me (and what didn’t): Hop.
