Smooth Sailing (Wild West MC, #3) by Kristen Ashley ~ Book Review

 


She lives life to the fullest.
He doesn’t know what hit him.


Smooth Sailing, an all-new page-turning forced proximity, opposites-attract MC romance from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley is available now!



When the Chaos Motorcycle Club came to call, Harlan “Hugger” McCain wasn’t ready to be welcomed into the fold. They said he was a legacy. He felt like an outcast.

But he patched in anyway.

And he was all in to be a part of their not-quite-outlaw missions.

This takes him down to Phoenix, right into the orbit of Diana Armitage, a beautiful, green-eyed woman with a heart of gold and a scarily honed tendency to sacrifice for pretty much everyone she cares about, and some people she barely knows.

Hugger has been existing. Life has never given him much, now, he expects even less.

Diana lives life to its fullest. And she doesn’t keep it a secret she wants to drag Hugger right along with her.

But Hugger is certain he’s got bad blood. He’s got one foot in Chaos, one foot out. One foot in Diana’s life, one foot out.

Diana and his brothers in Chaos have their work cut out to show Hugger who he is.

That he belongs.

And he’s worthy to be loved.











Chaos MC joins forces with others in this third book in the Wild West MC Series. 

Harlan “Hugger” McCain is Chaos through and through. He will do anything for his brothers, so when a job comes up in Phoenix, he's willing to go so those with families won't have to. What Hugger didn't expect was to find a woman who would steal his heart.

Diana Armitage has convinced a young woman who suffered a brutal assault to come and stay with her so she can protect her while she healed; the only thing is this isn't something Diana has experience doing. Diana suffered her own attack years earlier, and while vastly different, there is one common denominator, her father, the lawyer.

Big Petey has been a constant throughout all of the Chaos books, and I loved watching him impart his wisdom to everyone in this book. Petey stole every page he was on, I love that old man.

I cannot go into more detail without giving spoilers; what I can say is that I loved being back in the MC world Kristen Ashley has created. This book had me expressing a full range of emotions, including anger and huge, ugly cry tears. When you go to read this book, because I highly recommend you do, I would advise having tissues handy and possibly having some bubble wrap around your Kindle for when you want to throw it because I wanted to do that a couple of times while reading too.

The narration done by Joseph Discher, James Lurie, and Stella Bloom, was phenomenal. They did an amazing job of bringing Hugger, Diana, Big Petey, and the others to life.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy Kristen Ashley's OG Books, especially the Choas Series, Contemporary Romances, Slow Burn Romances, Opposites Attract Romances, Close Proximity Romances, Curvy Girl Romances, or Motorcycle Club Romances.

Happy Reading!!!
