The thrilling conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando's Fast & Fury series, fully loaded with intense emotions and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

All she wanted was the truth.

All he wanted was to be left alone.

Nadia has always been in charge of her life. As a private investigator, she makes her own hours and only takes on cases that she wants to work on. But when a family friend asks her to look into a case, she instantly regrets it—it hits far too close to home.

The last thing she wants to do is rip open old wounds. Especially Trade’s, the single father she’s been spending time with. It isn’t long before she’s falling not just for him, but for the kids he’s trying so hard to protect.

But the little voice in Nadia’s head tells her that something isn’t right, and she’s determined to find the truth. Using her connections to the Knights of Fury MC and the Fast & Fury motorcycle garage to gather evidence, Nadia uncovers evidence of a conspiracy that will leave everyone shaken—and force her and Trade to do whatever it takes to keep their new family safe.

 

An emotionally charged romance with a riveting suspenseful twist! The conclusion of Chantal Fernando’s Fast and Fury series is intense and so much more than I expected. I loved every minute of Nadia and Trade’s story in CUSTOM LOVE and only wish there was more to come in the series!

Nadia is an interesting character. She’s feisty and tough but has a heart of gold , and seeing her have to ease into something she would normally barrel full force into was a nice change of pace for her.

Trade is a doll. He lost the love of his life and has been going through the motions as he loves their kids through it, but the connection he feels upon interacting with Nadia is making him come back to life.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a great group of guys and gals at a custom bike shop that has a tie in with the local MC as they fall hard and live happily ever after.

“You could use a lesson in

giving in to temptation.”

But who’s Autumn Kincaid to talk? Her reputation as a wedding planner is on the line after she’s left at the altar. So is her job at Moonlight Ridge—unless she proves herself to grumpy Grey Holloway, whose family owns the resort. Grey doesn’t even believe in true love. She has to convince him romance is real, that all he needs is to give in to the heat threatening to burn them both. Maybe this time Autumn will get her own happily-ever-after…or is this just another best-laid plan?

 

Opposites attract and weave a delightful tale in the second book in the Moonlight Ridge series! In BEST LAID WEDDING PLANS Karen Booth brings the second Holloway brother home to Moonlight Ridge to support their dad during recovery from a health crisis. The characters are fresh and endearing and each has a back story that lays a nice foundation to their growth and development. I’m really enjoying this series and look forward to the last book in the trilogy!

Autumn is sincere and believes in happily ever after even though life has handed her a lemon in the past. She’s a joy to watch guide Grey towards believing love can last.

Grey is an all around nice guy, but he doesn’t believe in love and happily ever after because he’s lived the other side. Seeing him reconnect with his sense of home and family and along the way learn a different side of love is really heartwarming.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys watching a shattered family reconnect and support each other as each brother finds love.

I swore I wouldn’t do this again. Mix sports, school, and sex. But right now the only thing standing between me and the NHL is six feet of frenemy packed into a pair of formfitting jeans that have me thinking all kinds of things I shouldn’t. Mostly how to get him out of them.

I don’t just want Kolby. I need him. Because I’ve got to pass this theater class--yeah, I said theater--if I’m going to keep my spot on the team. When tutoring sessions turn into dates-not-dates over Shipley Cider at Vino and Veritas, I realize it’s going to be harder than I thought to keep my hands on my stick and off of Kolby. Worse, I think I might be falling for him. But I’m not ready for that. I want to keep this thing between us on the down low for now.

But Kolby hates secrets. Especially his own . . .

 

With an utterly adorable, steamy and downright fun cast, Regina Kyle is scoring a hat trick of her own with this riveting M/M college sports romance with a theater twist! The characters are fresh, the premise is humorous and the feels are flowing throughout. I loved every minute of Adam and Kolby’s emotional journey towards that happily ever after!

Adam and Kolby’s fireworks start from the very first page when tempers flare and attraction sparks. Adam is a new transfer and is trying to outlive an ugly occurrence while centering on his upcoming hockey career and Kolby is steadfast in his love of theater and simply putting one foot in front of the other to overcome family hurdles.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a college atmosphere with a sports theme and a twist of theater. There’s humor, there’s love, there’s upset and there’s emotions. Really enjoyed the realm of their relationship.
