Oh my goodness! I didn't think Jagger's story would hit me that hard, but it so did! The way he and Archie first met strangled my heart, and how things went for them later kept doing it - but also made my heart swell with their unique love.

The last time I had all these feels was when I read the Rock Chick Series, specifically Ava's book.
Holy shit. KA is at it again, it's calm yet so strong, and grounded yet so fiery. I'm so surprised and I'm so elated. I binged it for 3 hours and couldn't let go. And even on the last page, I felt like I wanted to read more. I've read KA since I was 17, and every single time there was something different, she's always out of this world and she can never be compared to anyone. And with this book, if we had the option of rating it 10 stars BRUHHHHH I would.
My best friend and I were talking and squealing about how good this was though I told her that this time because I'm 26, I felt like I could relate to Archie in every sense of the word. It's like Archie could be the "Today" me and Ava the person I want to be tomorrow.
Breathless, ecstatic, I devoured those pages and I'm gonna re-read soon enough I'm sure. WOW.

This was such a cute story. I read it as a stand alone and i absolutely loved it. Its quite novel, isnt it, the idea that someone else was meant for you. But yeah, I loved Archie, and I loved Jagger even more. Cool biker story.

This book was weird. That’s the best way I can describe it. It was like the old Kristen Ashley tried to make everything PC in the book. So there were no big disagreement or fights. It just read really oddly to me. And while there were times that I felt like the characters really connected in the next scene it would feel totally disconnected and odd.

Wild Wind was an amazing story filled with so much healing and love and I absolutely loved it! Jagger officially has my heart and I adored Archie. They had a fantastic journey finding their way to each other and I couldn’t get enough!

The prologue pulled me in right away when Jagger and Archie first connect and I loved every detail of their missed encounters, the angst, and the anticipation of when they’d see each other again. It felt like an awesome slow burn at the beginning of the story. Once they truly meet, it was this instantaneous chemistry that couldn't be denied. Jagger was such an incredible guy with a big heart. I felt for him and what he was missing from his life and the conflict and all the feelings he was experiencing. I loved Archie! She’s a bold, self-driven woman with a bit of attitude who was so giving and did everything she could to help others. I loved her vibrant personality.

Jagger and Archie both have things they're dealing with, and it's heartbreaking and uplifting all at once. Archie's got some family drama she’s dealing with and Jag is struggling with serious inner turmoil and emotion. I liked them opening up and laying it out, all their declarations and hopes. Jag was battling so much internally and I was rooting for him. When he gets there, it was so intense and emotional, it broke me a little. I loved that drama, as heart-wrenching as it was, and the healing it brought on. I loved how they were there for one another and how patient Archie was giving Jagger just what he needed.

The smaller stories happening were the perfect addition and I loved the bonds that were being made. I loved seeing the Chaos men and the poignant and real moments with them. There were so many and I couldn’t get enough. I loved Jag’s brotherly bond with Dutch and fatherly one with Hound. I adored meeting Archie's crew and all the different moments and updates on past characters in the series. There were just a lot of really great scenes that made my heart happy.

I loved the descriptions, details, and awesome dialogue. This story had so many sweet and fun moments mixed in to balance out the emotion as well as some flirty, sexy ones too. Archie and Jagger had a heck of a journey but I loved them coming out on the other side and finding some peace and each other. From beginning to end, I was all about Jag and Archie and the crazy ride they were on!

I love the Chaos series and every time a book comes out with another of these characters stories I am all about it.

Wild Wind brings us the story of Jagger and Archie. Jagger was young when his father was murdered and struggles with his place in the world. The way he "meets" Archie and the way their lives continue to have these random moments are perfection. Archie is such a fantastic free spirit and I love all there is about her. Them together and the heavy they deal with is just so good.

I am here for anything this author writes and this book was another great one!

Boring

Sorry. This book was just boring. There was none of the action and suspense we usually get in these books. Jag and Archie made their love connection in their teens and finally got together in their 20’s. That about sums it up. All Jag was worried about was the dad he never knew. It didn’t matter that Jag had a wonderful stepdad who did his best for kids that were not his biologically but his in his heart. I was just disappointed. I expected more from Jags book.

Ahhh they were right!

Everyone said this was an emotional one and it certainly was. I loved Jagger and Archie’s story, I am completely in love with the Black men, in fact all the Chaos men to be fair. Such a great bunch of characters and as always, I can’t wait for more. I’m interested to see where KA takes this next series.
