Motorcycle Man (Dream Man, Book 4)

5 Stars.... Get Ready to Ride!!!

This is a re-read for me.... my go to palate cleaner. So I'v been a little bored and dissatisfied, yet moody for my next book. When that happens I reach for my Kristen Ashley standby........ oooooh love this book/series/author.

“Truth, honesty, perseverance, strength, love of all kinds and forgiveness are all beautiful, Tack. The most beautiful stories ever told are the most difficult to take.”

You should probably just go buy the book and read it instead of wasting your time reading this review, because I really don’t know how to express what I am feeling about this story or the man, Kane “Tack” Allen. I was left deeply, completely, emotionally sated… and yet empty, too, because once it ended… I was lost. I was just… lost.And, you know, I actually cried because it ended. Not because of the ending, even though it was incredibly emotional. I didn’t cry because the book was too short, even though it was, but had it been 1,000,003 pages it still would have been too short. The tears were not because it was sad, though there were some heartbreaking scenes and I did cry for those, and tears of joy for the happy scenes, too… but honest to God, I cried because it was over. Because there was no more… I don’t think that’s ever happened to me before.*sigh*Okay, about Tack and Tyra -Tyra is awesome. Just awesome. She's fun, strong, independent, loving, compassionate. She's kick-ass, take no prisoners, protective and .... yeah, awesome. The perfect heroine for a bad-ass biker dude.And speaking of bad-ass biker dudes... this story is loaded with them, from start to finish, but since this is Tack's story...Tack is obnoxious, intense, crass, rude, brutal, harsh, foul mouthed and short tempered, arrogant… and even though he’s all those things, he’s also honorable, loving, compassionate, determined, sex in the flesh, funny, easy going, understanding… Sure, he’s done some shitty things but he’s also this man:

“Okay,” I said softly. “So this was why I got all those ‘laters’? Because you weren’t fired up to share all of this?” “This was why,” he confirmed. I pulled in breath through my nose. Before I could process any of what he said much less come to terms with it, Tack stated, “Love and redemption.” My head tipped on the pillow. “What?” “That movie you made me watch, first time at your house. Love and redemption. You said, ‘the most beautiful stories ever told are the most difficult to take’. You said that, Red. Right out. And I knew if you got that, when it was later and I shared my shit with you, you’d get me. I never thought my story was beautiful. I thought it was shit. But you said that and when you did, I saw it. The ride is not over but if I can keep my Club together and find a sweet, feisty woman who’s got my back and enough to her that she’ll stay there, holding me up not dragging me down, I figure I’d find my way to beauty eventually. And I’d find absolution because I’d know, I earned the love of that woman, a woman who’s got so much to her it’ll take years to dig down and find the heart of her, that would be my reward.”

And it's this vulnerability, his understanding of not just who is he, but who he wants to be...this is why I love Tack and this story, and why he’s become my favorite Kristen Ashley hero, and why you need to get this book, read this book then pimp this book to everyone you know! Now.
