REVIEW: Back in the Saddle by Kristen Ashley

 


OUR REVIEW:

You absolutely know that KA is on our automatic buy list and that the minute she's released her latest book into the wild, we're jumping on it. So jump on Back in the Saddle we did. 

This novel is the second in the Avenging Angels series and follows Jessie and Eric. We met Jessie in book 1 and Eric wayyyy back in the Rock Chick days and it's apparent, very quickly, that they're going to be a really good fit for each other. She's sassy, he's accepting of that. He's careful and assertive but not in an aggressive way, she's impulsive and caring, in a usually smart but sometimes not way (ala Rock Chicks). They both have some challenging family things. They're both surrounded by friends who care for them and are protective of them. Check, check, check. And now, they're both involved in trying to resolve an issue using their resources as an Angel and a Nightingale Security/former FBI dude. It starts with Jessie's missing brother and soon morphs into a bigger situation that draws in all of the guys (and Angels) and help from Denver. Throughout it all, we get a little more invested in all of the new characters and this new world we're in, while also enjoying the characters we've known and loved for years.


Back in the Saddle had many of the qualities of a KA book we love: funny interactions with fun characters, intrigue, shenanigans, and a happily ever after. This particular novel felt like a bridge novel to me--a novel that is building the world and back story of the Angels and the new men who'll love them, leaving lots of holes and questions to be answered, while also engaging us in the story at hand. Can't wait for the next one!

SYNOPSIS:

Jessie Wylde is on a secret mission. She’s trying to find her brother. She hasn’t told her friends; this is about family.

She doesn’t think it’s dangerous.

Eric Turner disagrees.

Eric is a member of the Nightingale Investigations and Security team. Therefore, Eric knows what he’s talking about.

Eric isn’t only badass, he’s also a seriously gorgeous guy, and Jessie has a huge crush on him. She doesn’t think he knows she exists…until now.

Eric steps in, and so do Jessie’s besties, the Avenging Angels. Soon, the Angels and the Hottie Squad are on the case to find Jessie’s missing sibling.

There’s more happening when it comes to Eric, though. Jessie’s so worried about her brother, she’s not paying attention. Eric sets about changing that, and just like all the Hot Bunch before him, when he finds his one, he doesn’t mess around.

However, something is afoot in Phoenix. And as the Angels uncover the sinister workings behind people going missing, and Eric and Jessie unpack their emotional baggage, the Angels dive deeper into the dark underbelly of the city…

Finding heroes, more hot guys, lots of hijinks…and heart.
