Still Standing

Still Standing, an all-new emotional and fiery MC romance from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley, is available now!


When Clara Delany walks into the Aces High Motorcycle Club’s hangout, she’s hit rock bottom. She’s hiding her car from the repo man, she has less than two dollars in her bank account and the only employment she can get is delivering messages for a criminal.

All because of a man. Therefore, she’s sworn off them.

And then she meets West “Buck” Hardy, president of the Aces High MC.

Buck also meets her, and the minute he does, he makes it clear (to everyone but Clara) that they’re starting something. Since Clara doesn’t get that message, she decides to leave Buck and sort out her life in order to come back to him clean.

She’s not gone but hours before life hits Clara with another blow. Which means Buck and his boys have to ride in and save the day. After that, Buck makes no bones about where they stand.

But does he?

Welcome to the first novel in the Wild West MC series which will tell the stories of the brothers of the Aces High MC, the Resurrection MC and the Chaos MC…and the women who love them.

First thing first, for people that DNF books I'm going to warn you that you may hit a point in this book that makes you question the characters. But here is my reassurance that you need to push through because by the end you will love Buck and Clara. Really, I think the best way I can describe this book is complex.

The best thing about the story was how intriguing it was. I started this book late and thought I'd just read a few chapters. But nope, like I should have expected from a KA book it captivated me and had me reading the rest of the night until I finished. And even then I wasn't done, I was ready for more and could have read it all over again if I wasn't about to pass out from exhaustion.

Buck and Clara were fun together because of their differences. Clara was down on her luck and not living in the best situation but even then nothing prepared her for for Buck and his MC lifestyle. And Buck was used to women falling all over themselves to get to him, not someone like Clara who was independent and not ready to rely on anyone. It made for some very interesting moments between them and all the tension that came with it was amazing.

Overall, this is a good start to a new series and I'm already looking forward to seeing what else will happen in this world.

Excerpt

“Babe,” he growled.

A warning.

Definitely.

I’d gone too far.

I also didn’t care.

“Okay, so then does Tia have to sleep with one, or, say, all of your boys?”

“Don’t do that shit. You know that’s not what I’m talkin’ about.”

“So maybe you’ll explain what you’re talking about.”

“I would, you shut your trap.”

I shut my trap and stared at his shadowed head.

He stared at mine.

Then he muttered, “Christ, need my head examined.”

“You could get off me,” I reminded him.

“Is this shuttin’ your trap?”

I shut my trap again.

“You take of care my house and my business as well as me.”

“What does that mean?”

“That means you move outta the apartment before they kick your ass out. You move into my house. You keep it clean. You keep me fed, that is, when I’m not feedin’ you, and I like to cook, so mostly, I’ll be feedin’ you. You come to work with me and take care of the office, and you go home with me.”

Wow.

Was he serious?

That sounded like…it sounded like…

My God, it didn’t sound like a sex-for-safety arrangement.

It sounded like a relationship.
