Wild Wind by Kristen AshleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I'm between 3 and 4 stars for this one.
Don't get me wrong I was interested in Jagger's story and I enjoyed quite a few things about this book - it just wasn't my fav. I got into it, but I didn't get into it.
First of all, I definitely enjoyed the change in heroine background. I don't see a lot of ethnic diversity in KA's books so to see that Archie was 1/4 Black and the fact that Jagger bonded with Mal - I felt that. She didn't gloss over the racism in some MC's and actually had Jagger address that.
Now Jagger and Archie...talk about some damaged people. Damaged in the sense of dealing with the death of a parent in their formative years. Archie knew her mom, but Jagger didn't really know his dad. We see there is underlying issues on the sides of both Archie and Jagger that kept them away from each other - and in some cases was still there preventing them from being all in with each other. It was nice to see Archie attempting to give Jagger what he needed emotionally, but we could see that there was something else there. Something standing in the way of Jagger going full tilt to Archie.
And when we learn what it is - cue the broken heart. Definitely time for Chaos to get involved.
All in all it was definitely worth the read. The length of the book was perfect for what we were dealing with.
