Carissa "Butterfly" Teodoro thought her life was going to be perfect after marrying the man she fell in love with. Now, she knows she is not living in a fairy tale. She is divorced, with her small baby son Travis and having a hard time paying her bills. Her ex-husband cheated on her with someone younger who has a perfect figure. When her car breaks down in the middle of the road, she is tempted to cry. If she doesn't get Travis on time to see his dad, her ex-husband might try to get a new judge to name her an unfit mother. At first, when a biker stops to help her, she is unsure of what to do. Her son on the other hand is taken by him. The hot biker reminds her of someone but she really can't tell who he is with the beard covering his face. 
 Carson "Joker" Steele came back to Colorado to join the Chaos MC. As a child he was living in a nightmare. Her mother walk out on him even before he could talk and his dad thought of him as nothing more than a punching bag. Joker has nothing in his life that can make him smile until Carissa enters his world again. As a teenager, he loved her from a distance and now he can love her as a man if he decides that he is worth it. 
 I love KA's books. Tack (Motorcycle Man) is one of my favorite books of all times. Her books can make me laugh, cry, smile, repeat. I was very happy with Ride Steady. It had the perfect combination. 
 Carissa was sweet, caring and a great mother. She didn't want jewelry or big houses. She wanted to be a wife and a mother. To her, family was important. She had suffered so much loss already. She was desperate to feel stability in her life. 
 "I needed steady" 
 She also could be funny. 
 "What the fuck are you doin'?" he asked when I didn't answer his opening question. 
 "That's twenty cents," I returned. 
 "Hunh?" he grunted. 
 "Regular curse words are a nickel," I told him. "Bad curse words are a dime. Everyone knows the f-word is a bad one and since, starting now, you're paying me every time you curse, that's twenty cents you owe me." 
 Joker was a good guy with a good heart. He joined the MC to feel that he belonged somewhere. He trusted his brothers with his life. The club also let him do what he wanted. Design bikes. He tried to push Carissa away because he didn't think he was good enough for her. I love that we get Shy, Tack and Rush to help him realize he needed to keep her in his life. I also loved how careful and protective he was of Travis. And Travis melted my heart with all the cute stuff he did. 
 "You and me and your boy. I know what we got. I know I like what we got. I know I wanna keep that strong and make it stronger. Shit happens. I hope like fuck it happens to us, we'll fight through to the other side. But I know this and you gotta know it too: No matter what happens, I will never, not ever, not fuckin' ever, Carissa, regret ridin' down that shoulder to help you and your boy. It's the best decision I ever made in my life, and I know that in a way I know I'll feel that until the day I fuckin' die." 
 To make life even sweeter, KA gave us cameos. Lee, Indy, Hank, Hawk, Elvira, Brock, Mitch, Knight are all a part of this book. My heart did a little flip of happiness every time one will pop out. 
 "I'd lost Althea. I'd lost Mom. To deal with the pain and make sure I lost nothing else, I'd put blinders on, made my mistakes, and then my dream had died. 
 But now the loss was over. 
 The blinders were off. 
 And I had Travis. 
 Then I got Joker. 
 And he gave me Chaos. 
 So it was done. 
 I was done losing. 
 And in being done, eyes open, facing ahead, back straight, head in the game, I was ready to win."
