Blog Tour Review & Excerpt: 5 Stars for Wild Wind (Chaos #6.6) by Kristen Ashley

 Wild Wind, an all-new sexy and emotional CHAOS series standalone novella from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley and 1,001 Dark Nights is available now!

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Ashley brings a new story in her Chaos series…

When he was sixteen years old, Jagger Black laid eyes on the girl who was his. At a cemetery. During her mother’s funeral.

For years, their lives cross, they feel the pull of their connection, but then they go their separate ways.

But when Jagger sees that girl chasing someone down the street, he doesn’t think twice before he wades right in. And when he gets a full-on dose of the woman she’s become, he knows he finally has to decide if he’s all in or if it’s time to cut her loose.

She’s ready to be cut loose.

But Jagger is all in.

Excerpt

“You wanna know what I think?” Hound asked.
Jagger tipped his head back to look at his dad.
Then Hound told him what he thought.
“I think you’re in. And I think if you walk away from this girl, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. And I think I’m here to tell you that because you need another voice sayin’ something you already know.”
“That’s what I think too,” Jagger admitted.
Hound nodded, and again he did it only once.
“Then I’ll look forward to havin’ her over to dinner and celebrating with your mom that she can finally stop worrying about you because she’s feelin’ you shoulda been done sowin’ those oats about five years ago.”
Jagger grinned at him.
His mother had never been at one with the way Jag tackled life, considering he’d always been about wresting as much of it as he could for his own.
Dutch was the quiet, responsible one.
Jag was…
Not.
Hound reached out and caught Jag by the neck, gave him a squeeze, a shove, then let him go.
And Jagger felt better.
“So, what’s her name?” Hound asked.
“Archie.”
Hound looked him right in the eye.
Then he burst out laughing.
He settled back into the bar, his fingers cradling his brew, and he was shaking his head.
“Archie and Georgie. Fuck,” Hound said.
Jag hadn’t thought of that, both him and Dutch finding girls with boys’ names.
He grinned, leaned back into the bar himself, and replied, “She doesn’t have red hair and freckles, and I seriously doubt her best friend’s name is Jughead, but I think she might have a bit of tomboy in her.”
“Well, son,” Hound picked up his beer and tipped it toward Jag, “you’re about to find out.”
Jag grabbed his beer and tapped necks with Hound.
And he was grinning again.
Because Hound was right.
He was.

 
What I thought about Wild Wind
 Wild Wind is a very touching story about Jagger Black finding his HEA in a love-at-first-sight situation that takes years to come to fruition. Much like Dutch's HEA in Wild Fire, this is a story of a character that has been part of this series since the beginning and pulled at my heartstrings.  I have to say that the last two books in this Chaos series really captured what I've loved in the early books in the series. 

It was so easy to fall in love with Jagger in this story.  He comes off as being a tough brother, but there is a soulfulness there that melted my heart. He has to deal with his father's legacy in this book, and it was no easy feat. Tack and the brothers have a part in it, too. 
Archie was awesome and perfectly matched with Jagger.  Their story of their first meeting is so precious and captures the essence of love at first sight in a believable way. Archie's family provides the low level of conflict in the story. I really felt that Wild Wind wrapped up the Black family story so well.

I loved it. It made me want to go back and re-read Keely and Hound and Dutch and Georgie and blow my reading schedule!

Terrific wrap up for the Black family.
