By: Chantal Fernando
Published By : Gallery Books, Simon & Schuster
Released : Available Now
Details : Paperback From Publisher for Honest Review, 320 Pages 

RATING: 4 RAKE, VINNIE & TALON STARS !

In New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando’s latest novel in the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club series, Rake—baddest of the bad boys—gets his own romance at last!

Rake is known for being up for anything, in and out of the bedroom. He’s wild, he’s deadly, yet quick with a joke or a stolen kiss. Known as the player of the WDMC, he loves women, the more the merrier. However, behind his womanizing façade, Rake hides the pain of losing his first love, Bailey. He hasn’t loved anyone since, and doesn’t think he ever will.

Seven years after their split, Rake and Bailey run into each other at the MC’s favorite club. Old wounds resurface, secrets are spilled...and passionate feelings are awakened. But they’ve each done things to hurt the other, hurt them too badly to get over it—haven’t they? Only when Bailey’s connection to Rake puts her in danger from another Club member does he realize that there’s nothing he won’t do to protect her—and claim her as his once again.


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I enjoy reading each book in the Wind Dragon series. Every book is always a quick and easy read. For me the characters aren’t too deep. Sure they have issues, but things get quickly resolved around the same part of each instalment. There is a definite formula to Chantal’s writing in the Wind Dragon series.

From the very first book when we are introduced to Rake’s character, who is cocky and enjoys partaking in some ménage sexual fun, I was interested in Rake’s character.

I wonder why?

When we finally get his book, we still see that cocky bugger, but things aren’t all what they seem.

I think I was expecting some full on BDSM in this installment, only because of how he was portrayed in Dragon’s Lair.  

I always had a bit of a crush on Talon, he’s a little mischievous the way he behaves. I very much enjoyed his limelight in this book.

I think I might have a lady boner for Vinnie now.


*wink*

I give this instalment a solid 4 stars. At times Bailey was kinda immature, but that just might be me being a bit of an older fart, although I can read all age brackets usually no problem.

BOOK REVIEW - DIRTY RIDE by CHANTAL FERNANDO - WIND DRAGON'S MC #3.5 - POCKET BOOKS - GALLERY - SIMON & SCHUSTER - BIKER ROMANCE

By: Chantal Fernando

Published By: Pocket Books, Gallery, Simon & Schuster

Released: Available Now

Details: Netgalley for honest review, 112 Pages

RATING: 4 RAWRRR IRISH STARS!

Blurb: Goodreads

From USA TODAY bestselling author Chantal Fernando comes a brand new Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club e-novella, full of sexy bad-boy bikers, strong heroines, and steamy romance!

Even by Wind Dragon Motorcycle Club standards, Irish was always a bit of a dark horse. Not one to confide his secrets, such as where he got that mysterious scar across his neck, he’s quick with his fists and even quicker to jump to the defense of his MC. But is he nimble enough to handle the woman he never saw coming? Or will she leave him with a matching scar across his heart?

Featuring scorching hot chemistry and plenty of sass, Dirty Ride is sure to rev your engine and get you immediately hooked!

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I do enjoy this series filled with hot, alpha bikers and their women and the road to love that always has speed bumps and a villain along the way.

Dirty Ride is a quick read because it is a novella.

I sooooo could have read a full length book on Irish aka Ardan. I really liked that Ardan wanted Valentina aka Tina to meet the man before the biker.

The only thing stopping me from rating this book higher is I felt the villain side of the story was rushed. We know about him, he is in the background as a potential threat and then all is over with.

I got villain whiplash.

I thought there was room for letting the reader get to see him more.

Man, I would have enjoyed a full length read on Irish he is gorgeous.

Looking forward to Rake’s redemption.

BOOK REVIEW - TRACKER'S END by CHANTAL FERNANDO - WIND DRAGONS MC # 3 - GALLERY BOOKS - BIKER ROMANCE

By: Chantal Fernando

Published By: Gallery Books

Released: Available Now

Details: Digital copy via NetGalley for honest review, 352 Pages

RATING: 4.25 TRACKER STARS!!

Blurb: Goodreads

The third in a sexy romance series from the bestselling author of Saxon and Toxic Girl about the bad boys of the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club and the women who fall in love with them.

Tracker is everything I’ve ever wanted.

I see him. I’ve watched time change him.

I’ve been patient, but he still hasn’t noticed me. Not the way I want him to. The more time I spend with the MC, the more I understand.

When you want something, you have to take it. You have to fight for it.

And Tracker is more than worth fighting for…

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

Suddenly he says, “I don’t think I’ve ever just enjoyed silence with a woman.”

I really enjoyed Tracker’s End, I am rather addicted to this MC series.

Tracker is simply gorgeous. He did have me scratching my head at one stage with his behavior, I was like dude, you need to chill and let the woman speaketh.

Rake...goodness me, we get to see more of his shenanigans and there was a particularly panty dropping scene with Tracker and Lana. I don’t think Rake is gonna let her live that one down.

The MC lads are all gorgeous in this series with their own hang ups and what not which makes a great MC read.

Faye definitely six years down the track has come into her own as the old lady of the Prez. She was so different to when she was in Dragon’s Lair.

I love seeing Talon pop up and there is another biker gang introduced.

I am looking forward to the next one in the series.

BOOK REVIEW - ARROW'S HELL by CHANTAL FERNANDO - WIND DRAGONS MC # 2 - MC ROMANCE - GALLERY BOOKS

By: Chantal Fernando

Published By: Gallery Books

Released : 16th June 2015

Details: Digital copy via netgalley for honest review from USA publisher.

RATING: 4.5 WIND DRAGONS STARS!

Blurb: Goodreads

Being the younger sister of a Wind Dragons MC member isn’t as great as you’d think it would be.

I can’t escape the details of my brother’s exploits.
No one tells me anything. 

Men who know who I am tend to stay away from me.

And worst of all:
The members of the MC are off-limits.

When Arrow catches my eye, I make it my mission to make him happy again.

When I fall head over heels in love with him, I just hope he will be there to catch me.
And that my brother doesn’t kill him.


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I had a laugh out loud time with Dragon’s Lair, Wind Dragons MC # 1. I enjoyed being introduced to all the lads and their fun characteristics. It was a lighter MC read for the most part.

With Arrow's Hell, it is darker and I will admit I assumed for some unknown reason that I was going to be in Arrow’s head, for a reasonable amount of this book, but that is ok. Just a personal assumption.

I really loved the wonderful twist I got.

Dayum!

I really enjoyed Arrow’s Hell. Tracker is a fave of mine and now so is another character... a new one. I am so looking forward to Tracker’s story up next.

Giddy up!

Oh and Rake, well something tells me he is gonna be a whole pile of naughty to read.

I do recommend this MC series and I'm in for however many books Chantal writes in this series.

BOOK REVIEW - DRAGON'S LAIR by CHANTAL FERNANDO - WIND DRAGONS MC # 1 - MC ROMANCE - SIMON & SCHUSTER - GALLERY BOOKS

By: Chantal Fernando

Published By: Simon & Schuster, Gallery Books

Released : Available Now

Details: Paperback from publisher for honest review, 273 Pages

RATING: 4.5 DEX, TRACKER, ARROW, RAKE, IRISH & PROSPECT VINNIE STARS!

Blurb: Goodreads

The first in a new sexy romance series from bestselling author Chantal Fernando about the bad boys of the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club and the women who fall in love with them.

When I found my boyfriend cheating on me, I did something stupid.

Or should I say, someone?

Because of that mistake, I’m now stuck in a world I don’t belong in.

I’m a law student. They’re criminals. He’s the vice president of a motorcycle club. I’m a good girl with a strict upbringing. He’s my ex-boyfriend’s brother.

And I’m screwed.

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I really loved Dragon’s Lair. It is a lighter MC read, granted, but I believe this was done deliberately so I am rating accordingly. 

What I like foremost in a book is the feeling I get when I connect with the main characters. If I don’t have that, I got nothing. 

I loved, Dex aka Sin, Tracker, Arrow, Rake, Irish and also prospect, Vinnie.

These lads all make an entrance and show us a little bit more of their personality in this first instalment.

They are fun, yet there is still this dangerous don’t fark with me, about them.

I did get a twist in the story I didn’t see coming, and I like when that happens.

There are fun moments and there are deeper moments. 

This was a super quick read for me about the same time it takes me to read an Abbi Glines , Sea Breeze novel.

I have been reading a lot of looonnnggg books lately and Dragon's Lair arrived on my doorstep from the publisher and I cracked it open late that night. 

Chantal kept me up until 2.49am and I finished it off in the morning. It was only like a three to four hour read for me.

What I liked about this MC read was Chantal made it her own. She wasn’t afraid to have Faye behave the way she did around the Wind Dragons members, even Jimbo, LOL! 

I will leave you to work that out.

I am really looking forward to reading Arrow’s Hell next.

Here’s a taste of Arrow. 

I walk out into the kitchen the next morning rubbing my eyes. I stop in my tracks as I see a man standing over the stove.

Naked.

He has an extremely white ass and is frying something in the pan.

“There goes my appetite,” I mutter to myself. Arrow turns around, completely unabashed.

“Mornin’,” he says, checking out my pajamas. I stare at his huge penis in horror but am unable to move my eyes away. Suddenly, it gets hard, pointing right at me. Like an arrow.

Lightbulb moment.

“Seriously?” I say, covering my eyes with my hand.

“Bit late for that,” he says, chuckling. “I saw you looking.”

“And I saw you saw me looking,” I reply, pouring myself some juice and averting my gaze.

“I think I had the wrong idea about you...” he says, turning back to the stove.

“How so?”

He shrugs. “Thought you were some tramp trying to trap Dex.”

“And how do you know I’m not?” I ask him.

“Good sense of character,” he says. “I’m never wrong.”

“Bold claim,” I say as he turns around. My eyes straight away lower. I can’t even help it.

I point at it when he takes a step in my direction. “Don’t being that thing near me!”

He laughs. “It won’t bite you; don’t worry.”

“You’re weird,” I announce.

He shakes his head. “Do you just say the first thing that pops up into your fuckin’ head?”

I think it over. “Pretty much. Is that going to be a problem?”

“Probably.”


Just for the record, I would have peeked too.

Synopsis

I’m the judge and jury and executioner. I live where no laws or rules apply.

I obey no one.

I sell merchandise and trade in commodities, including women. I cast no illusions or offer fake apologies—I don’t pretend to be a good guy. I’m a businessman, and a biker. Silver Serpent MC are my family; the only people I care about. The day I set eyes upon the sweet perfection of Cleo Price I knew it would be one sale I’d enjoy.

Too bad I didn’t stick to my own rules:

No using the merchandise.

No getting caught.

And above all else--no going against family.

A story of lawlessness and sin. Brutal and raw and completely unapologetic. Not suitable for people who don't enjoy violence, non-consensual sex, and harsh language.
