What To Read Wednesday is a new feature at Fiction Vixen. Each Wednesday one of the Fiction Vixen reviewers will post about a book they’ve recently read that they think you need to read too. This week, Angela, Jen and I decided to kick off What-To-Read Wednesday together. This week, we recommend:
Own the Wind by Kristen Ashley
Angela says:
Ever since the end of Motorcycle Man I’ve been desperately waiting for Tabby and Shy. And I was not disappointed. This is a classic angsty, sexy, delicious KA romance. Shy is rough and rude and sweet as hell. Tabby is all grown up and her own woman. They battle everyone around them to be together. I even loved the set up for the next books in the series.
Favorite Quote:
“You need a safe place just to forget shit and escape, I’ll give it to you. Tonight. Tomorrow. Next week. Next month. That safe place is me, Tabby.”
Jen says:
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Tabby/Shy and they didn’t disappoint. This book had it all….yummy sex, angst, Tack, strong characters, great flow, Tack. Well you get the picture. Own the Wind is a keeper.
“I know about her,” I whispered, and yes, that came right out, and yes, it sounded like an accusation.
“Say again?” he asked.
“I know about her. Your woman.”
His brows went up. “So?”
So?
So?
“So, you didn’t tell me about her,” I pointed out.
“Sorry, Tab, didn’t know I need to report to you about who I fuck,” he fired back.
Sophia says:
I really looked forward to reading this book for two three reasons:
1. It’s Kristen Ashley. Duh
2. More Chaos! Motorcycle Man is my favorite KA book and I love the “Sons of Anarchy (with romance) vibe. I needed more.
3. This is Kristen Ashley’s first traditionally published book and I was eager so see if the KA magic would still be there. It was.
Favorite Quote:
He held my eyes two beats, I saw his turn warm and intent then he whispered, “You’re the fuckin’ shit, Tabby.”
“I know,” I told him airily on another smile. “My man tells me that all the time.”
Own the Wind will be released April 2, 2013. We recommend you pre-order your copy today!

About FV Sophia
I admit I kind of skimmed over your post in an attempt to remain as spoiler-free as possible. I’m looking forward to this book like you wouldn’t believe. The schedule is cleared for April 2nd and I will be unable to be reached by anyone due to my pre-scheduled reading binge.
I have not read any of Kristen Ashley’s books yet but I have seen good reviews for them. I have purchased one of her books and it is in the TBR pile.
I cannot wait. Having read the working chapters from Kit’s website, I’m dying to read more about Tabby and Shy. I’m afraid to read the post, though. I cannot handle any more tease. >_<
squeak. I need to read this!
Holy shit yes yes yes!!! I read the chapter earlier this week was actually got sad after it was over — knowing I had to wait for the book. I was totally shocked by what tragedy Tabby goes through. Thanks for the extra quotes!
I still have one of her books sitting on the main screen of my kindle. This one looks great!
I have succumbed to Kristin Ashley fever in the Unfinished Heroes series, but I haven’t yet read Motorcycle Man. I have to admit, though, that your first quote here makes me kind of not want to read this. Am I missing something?
I meant second quote, not the first — the one about the other woman.
No, don’t worry. Everything will be good. That was my little teaser quote to make people go WTF??
OK — I trust you.
Count me in! I am a huge Kristen Ashley and am about to die of anticipation!!!! Motorcycle Man is probably my favorite Ashley book but I do love Knight and Creed too!
Count me in 
Put my name in the hat, please! Thank you.;)
I’ve been hearing that Kristen Ashley’s books are like crack. Thanks for the giveaway.
I am doing the countdown to release day – just like all the other KA addicts
I do have it pre-ordered (had to be sure I got it immediately!) I really like this new idea you guys have – looking forward to next Wednesday!
I am a new reader to KA and Can’t Get Enough!!!!!!! Would love to win this book!
Sounds like another KA gem. I haven’t read MM yet. *ducks head* I guess I’m just afraid to. I liked Tack in the other books but I hate how she brings the characters back to make the books intertwined or whatever.
Anyway, this sounds good, so I guess I’ll get my butt in gear! Thanks!
Can’t wait for more Tack!!
Thanks for the giveaway! I can’t wait to read this one!
OMSQUEEEE! I need this book. Please, please, please. The quotes have me dying to know more. I will be crossing my fingers and toes. Thanks so much!
Squeeeeeee! I can’t wait to read this one! Bring on moar Chaos!!!
Thanks for the fun post! I haven’t read any of Ms. Ashley’s books and I know they come highly recommended
ok – this is so awesome…did anyone read the working chapters on KA’s site? This happens to me every time a new one is about to be released – the anticipation just about kills me:)
I LOVE KA!!! All her books are amazing!!! I’m so excited for this one and I’m so glad you all loved it as much as you did! Pick me!
Can’t wait to read this! I’ve loved Motorcycle Man and can’t wait to get into Shy and Tabby’s story. Thanks for the giveaway chance

2. Motorcycle Man…Tack, enough said!
3. Sons of Anarchy, Jax, oh yeah baby!

5. Counting the days, please I’m suffering here.

Ohmergoodness! Thank you so much for this awesometastic givaway! I haven’t read a KA novel *gasps!* but I’ve been excited to try one!
I can’t wait for this book! I really, really enjoyed Raid. I had read all her books except the Rock Chick series. I had held out because the series title gave me the wrong idea, but what a treat! Last week was Spring Break (a.k.a. Rock Chick Week) and my eyes are still recovering. In just a little over one year’s time, KA has become one of my favorite authors.
Hi all, looking forward to what to read Wednesday, it’s so nice to have a lots of books to look forward to. Loved motorcycle man and looking forward to this one. Thanks for the giveaway!
I wanted it anyway, then you said the magic words, “more Tack!” And now I’m bursting in anticipation.
oooh this book sounds so good!
Must. Have. the. Precious!
Oh my! A perfect way to break me in to the wonderful world of Kristen Ashley, the writer I hear SO much about! Thanks for the giveaway and the unique review, ladies of FV!
I’m anxiously waiting for this book. Motorcycle Man sucked me in to being a KA addict, I still don’t understand how it happened…
I have never read a Kristen Ashley book before, but this one sounds so good. I enjoy reading romance novels, and I just love the cover. Please enter me. Thanks!
Oh wow! I have yet to get started on this series – but I’m going to asap!
I have recently discovered Kristen Ashely and cannot believe how amazing she is! I have devoured her back list and cannot WAIT to read this one too!!
Ooo ooo! Pick me please! /waves hand in the air like 7 year old.
Thanks!
I am so excited for this book. I read the chapters that she has on her website and I loved it. I thought Raid would help me hold me over until OTW is published, but not so much. April 2 can’t get her fast enough.
Can’t wait for this book. Love her books!
I just finished Reapers Property by Joanne Wylde. I love that book and have been looking for another motorcycle read. This book sounds great and I cant wait to read it. I am going to read Motorcycle Man first. I love reading series books.

See, why do you have to do that?? I have so many books on my TBR pile, and you have just moved Motorcycle Man back up to the top, despite it being a re-read for the umpteenth time. Tack, Tyra and everyone in the gang … sigh. Can’t wait for this one!!!
I just recently started reading KA, and love, love, LOVE everything I’ve read thus far. Can’t wait for more!
I would love to win a copy of Own the Wind, thanks for the opportunity.
OMG I can’t wait to read this book!! Loved Motorcycle Man (and keep reading it cause I’m a Tack-aholic) and need a Chaos fix!
I can’t wait for this one! I finally read Motorcycle Man, my first KA book, back in February, Since then, I’ve made it thru the Rock Chick series, Dream Man series, Knight, and am almost done with The Burg series, which, as a whole, has been my favorite.
I’ve seen nothing but rave reviews for this book and would love to win a copy!
I always want to know why you all Kristen Ashley, soo please count me in!
I’m really looking forward this this release.
Crack-tastic is the only word I can use to describe Kristen Ashley’s books. Can’t wait to read this book.
I’ve been dying to read about the Chaos series ever since KA announced it. I loved Motorcycle man. And when I read the preview chapters of on KA’s website, oh my, I absolutely can’t wait! Tabby and Shy …perfect start to the Chaos series. I love KA’s male heroes. Absolutely love!
