Once upon a time, Carissa Teodoro believed in happy endings. Money, marriage, motherhood: everything came easy–until she woke up to the ugly truth about her Prince Charming. Now a struggling single mom stranded by flat tire, Carissa’s pondering her mistake when a vaguely familiar knight rides to her rescue on a ton of horsepower.
In high school, Carson Steele was a bad boy loner who put Carissa on a pedestal where she stayed far beyond his reach. Today, he’s the hard-bodied biker known only as Joker, and from the way Carissa’s acting, it’s clear she’s falling fast. While catching her is irresistible, knowing what to do with her is a different story. A good girl like Carissa is the least likely fit with the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Too bad holding back is so damned hard. Now, as Joker’s secrets are revealed and an outside threat endangers the club, Joker must decide whether to ride steady with Carissa–or ride away forever…

I received an ARC of Ride Steady from Netgalley......
I LOVE Kristen Ashley.
Like all OF her work.
Not one book I've rated lower than a 3*. And what I love most is her men. No one can beat her hot, alpha males. Carson is no different, I LOVED him.
This book holds so much truth it's unbelievable. Not many couples stay together when they have a baby or when they're married. It's like they say: you have to kiss a lot of toads before you kiss you're frog. Its the way I see Kristen Ashley's books. All her female characters have given themselves up to a man, and found it wasn't the one they were destined to be with. It proves my theory with the whole frog part, because as soon as they meet one of KA's men they go ga-ga for them. Which, I would totally do the same.
I loved her little lad, he was so freaking adorable and I could honestly connect to her as a mother.
Her ex husband is a complete ass. He stops her from breastfeeding cause of it being inconvenient for him, he cheats then moves his mistress in, then getting engaged before the divorce papers are signed.
I felt so sorry for her because all she wanted was to be a wife and a mother. She was so perfect for it too.
As soon as she meets Carson, who she already knew but didn't know it, her ex husband starts showing interest again, making her life and their little boys hell.
Carson has changed who he is. He runs from home at eighteen I think it was, before he finished school anyway. But he leaves to find himself, to get away from his abusive father.
Years later he comes back as Joker, not as Carson. He pulls over on the side of the road to help a woman in need, Carissa, and he's disappointed when Carissa doesn't recognize him.
I loved all the other characters and it was great seeing all the others and how they brought Carissa into the fold so easily, making her come out of her shell. It's what true friends are and for people who didn't know her, they took her in just like that.
The story flows really easily, but I have to say I was disappointed with the ending in a way. I expected more drama, more action, just more...
I was hoping her ex husband would be out of the picture by the end of the book, but it all ends differently than I anticipated.
In all I rate the book 4*
