I don’t care what way I gotta take you, as mine or just havin’ you in my life in a way you’d let me be there, but however that is, I’m not givin’ up. Not ever, Rosalie.


It's been a while since I reached for a KA fix. Truth be told, the last two releases were a very sad DNF for me that left me questioning if I'd finally reached a point where I had to admit defeat with one of my previously favorite authors. But I love The Chaos series, and I simply couldn't help but one-click this book to see if I'll finally get a bit of those KA feels back. It's just been too long since I felt them!

Did I 5 star love this book? No. It was simply too short for me to truly get fully invested in. It did, however, bring back some of those KA feels for me. Now some may have an issue with Rosalie being a little bit of a...uhem...men hopper. But for me, I totally bought into the why of it. Dare I say, I understood it even. Basically, it didn't bother me in the least. Nor was I bothered by the practically instant relationship development that happened between her and Snapper. It's a novella, so I didn't expect much on this end to be quite honest. I actually enjoyed the quicker pace of the story.

With KA's previous two releases, I struggled with the slower pace, the stunted story where everything happens by 50% and then I'm reading a bunch of nothing for the last half. This book kept me invested from beginning to finish, without the typical wordiness or over descriptive prose.

Rosalie definitely has a lot of history with the men of Chaos, but that didn't bother me either. I didn't feel that she was still pining after Shy and I was totally sold on the connection between her and Snapper. Rough Ride definitely gave me the fix I was looking for and it was an enjoyable one. The one thing that kept this from being a full 4 stars for me was that ending. What in the ever loving hell was that? A lead in for the next book? A story hook? A glimpse of what's to come? It took a perfectly satisfying HEA and turned it on its ass and left me confused, slightly annoyed, and anxious.

But mostly confused.

Seriously. What even was that? I still have no idea what happened. And no, it wasn't a cliffhanger. I genuinely don't even know what it was.

Either way, this was still a fun read and gave me my KA fix that I was looking for, so money well spent for this girl.

Shana Great review Lana! You’ve put into words what I haven’t been able to explain to fellow KA fans.


Astrid - The Bookish Sweet Tooth Aaah I actually loved the end lol - I thought it was one hell of a hint of what's to come.

I agree with everything you said (well, apart from the end :D ) - fab review, babes.
