Good read. I read till it was done and knew from the first page I would. It was good, but had some weak points.

Erin is a strong character. She tends to be a tad over reactor at times. I like that she had her own mind and her own goals in life and didn’t just throw it away for Ace. She showed that you could have both if you just work it out. Ace was interesting. To me he wasn’t a typical MC member in some ways, but was in others. The MC workings seemed glossed over and it never really got into what the club was all about.

The twist in the plot seemed interesting, but it seemed glossed overvtoo, and the reasons behind it seemed flimsy to me. They also didn’t go after the person seriously then they allowed it happen again. That just seemed not developed well.

I enjoyed it overall. Lots of open characters like Clover, Eden, Rogue, and Knuckles.

Received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley.

A great start to a new series. I love her Wind Dragon's MC series.
Erin and Ace.
Erin discovers that the man she grew up as her father is not actually her father. She finds his address and goes to meet him. Turns out he is the President of the Cursed Raven's MC. One of the fist people she meets is Ace,
This is such a good story. I really like meeting everyone and when there was a little surprise guest from the Wind Dragons, I actually giggled. I. Giggled.
Yep, a great start to a series. I eagerly await the next.
I received an ARC for an honest review.

Wow, this was my very first book by Chantal and I was quite literally blown away with the characters, the sass and humour! Erin has just recently discovered that the person she called Dad all her life, is not her biological father. In an attempt to find her father, her mother gives her an address and she rocks up to find him. Entering the MC world is foreign and unfamiliar to Erin, but she is nothing if not determined to find him! The meeting doesn’t go as planned but her father asks her to stay and she agrees so she can get to know him, especially if she can get to know the sexy, hot biker named Ace too:) Loved the characters, especially Knuckles and Rogue who instantly won me over with their first interactions with Erin. But an MC is not without drama or danger and when Erin is suddenly in danger, the guys pull out all the stops to figure out who has targeted our new MC Princess. Loved Erin too with her quick humour and sassy personality:) Can’t wait for Knuckles book next!

A thank you to Chantal and Netgalley for my advanced copy and I willingly give my honest opinion and review for my favourite MC couple! (So far).

Another winner! At the end of the wind dragon series I was ready to give up on this author, but this was a great start to anew series. It's definitely a NA mc lite read, but it was fun and sexy and entertaining. Can't wait for the next in this series.

This is the first book I’ve read from the author. While it started out good it went too fast for my liking. The writing was good. The characters were great and that’s what made me read the entire book.

I will be reading the other two books that are in this series. Can’t wait for Knuckles and Rogues books!

Well, well ,well. There is a new MC in town and holy smokes what a rush! Ace is swoon worthy to the highest level. His alpha ways and how he wants to protect Erin is just amazing. I could only imagine the rush of emotions Erin experiences in this story as she discovers so much about her and her past. The way her and Ace meld together though? OH so sizzling. I think what I really loved about this one is that Fernando had you on your toes throughout because of everything that is going on! You get pulled in every direction and your mind is blown when things come out!
Overall, I am super excited and in love with this new MC. I am a HUGE Wind Dragons fan, so when I heard about this one, I was all over it. And I was soooo not disappointed. Fernando has a way with words that makes you fall into the world that she creates and you never want to leave. You will want an Ace of your own and be made an old lady. I am super excited to see what is up next in this series and the MC!

This was a cute MC-lite story. I didn't realize it was NA but was still entertained. I would say that there isn't much drama here but there actually IS, it's just sorta glossed over. If the characters would have been a bit more fleshed out then I would have bumped this up to a 4. h was spunky and wasn't afraid to go after what she wants. There was no proverbial dance between H/h. h decides she wants him and makes it immediately known. It was, dare I say, refreshing. I enjoyed the side characters very much and hope they get their own books. Solid NA read.

OMG this is the start of a new MC by Chantal Fernando.. I absolutely loved this book.. I got it off Netgalley. Chantal knows how to write MC's that's for sure.

Erin has lived her life with her mom and dad.. or so she thought. Until one day she stumbles upon a box that contains her birth certificate.. showing the man she thought was her dad.. WAS NOT! She demands to know who her real father is . So when she marches her happy little a$$ into the middle of a MC Clubhouse giving them there beloved Presidents full name and she is his daughter.. it leaves everyone stunned.
I loved Ace and Erin.. I cant wait for Knuckles and Erins cousins book!

A brand new series by the author of one of my favorite series, The Wind Dragons MC (the one that got me hooked on MC romance, to begin with!) I really didn't think it could get better, but I really loved this book! Ace and Erin were pretty awesome!

Erin is a 21 year old girl, who just found out that the man she was brought up thinking was her dad, really isn't. She makes the decision to find her biological father, and introduce herself, since he was never told of her existence. On her arrival, she finds not only a dad who wants to be part of her life, but a whole new family. She also finds Ace, who she is immediately attracted to.

Ace is a member of The Cursed Raven's MC, along with Erin's dad (who is the president). He's pretty typical of MC members, a tough, hard riding, free living man. He also has an immediate attraction to Erin, but as the president's daughter, she is forbidden to him. Even so, he sticks pretty close to her side from then on.

This book was a fun read, full of laughs, but there were also some pretty serious moments too. There was plenty to keep me interested, and I never knew what was coming next. It was a great introduction to the Cursed Ravens MC, and I'm looking forward to whatever comes next!

A fantastic story from this author, I loved her other MC series and this one looks like it will be just as good. Erin was awesome, I loved her and the way she didn't take any crap from anyone. Ace was sexy and so lovable. I look forward to reading more from this series.

What a great start to The Cursed Ravens MC series. I love the Wind Dragons MC series and this one did not disappoint. Ace and Erin have great chemistry, throw in a long lost father and some intrigue...makes for a great story. My question is have we really seen the last of Dreads?

This is the first installment of a New MC series coming from this talented author, and i can assure you, it most definitely does not disappoint.

Erin is such a cool chick, speaks her mind, and takes no bull, after learning that the man who raised her isn't her real father, she is determined to track down the man her mother kept a secret from her.
Well what can i say? What a secret !!!!
Her real father is none other than the freaking President of MC Club, The Cursed Ravens. Coming from a typical picket fence and 2.1 kid family, Erin wonders if she could cope with a Biker or Bikers life. After storming into the clubhouse during a party, the first person who catches her eye is a hot sexy biker by the name of Ace and demands to see her father. Both Men are shocked, her father had also been kept in the dark about her existence, and Ace, well damn the club has a new Princess and she is out of bounds !!!!
I loved this book, i couldn't get enough. Erin had me in fits of laughter, with her attitudes, humour and a tongue with no filter !!! Ace was just goddamned hot sexy and a man that leaves you in a pool of drool!!! But i loved how Erin grew into club life, how the hesitant relationship between her and her new found father developed, and at the same time the burning attraction between Erin and Ace, was building to combust!! Ace even though a biker has strong Loyalties to his Pres and club, and is torn with his attraction to Erin, and i was left with a melted heart. It all felt so natural and real that you just can't help but get caught up in each and every page. Life or Love is never easy, but when you find the right people it sure makes everything more colorful. I can't wait for more of this series and dive in to learn more of my now new fave MC CLUB !!!!!

Every girl likes a bad boy, right? Or so I keep hearing! Chantal Fernando certainly makes a compelling case in the first novel of her new series, The Cursed Ravens MC. Now, I will start off by saying that I have read MC books before, and I often find them too much for my personal taste. There's often an undertone of violence that translates into rough sex, and that's just not my cup of tea in romance books. But while this book did get into a lot of the grittier aspects of the MC culture, it didn't let that affect what happened in the bedroom, which I liked. Yes, things were steamy, of course, so don't worry! You'll be wishing you could take an Ace of your own home with you.

Erin Moretti has been lied to her entire life, but that's all ending now. After finding out the man who raised her is not her real father, she took what little she knew and found her real father. Who is the President of a motorcycle gang called the Cursed Ravens. And in his newfound paternity, he assigns her a bodyguard named Ace, who is the sexiest man Erin has ever seen. She's the Princess of the Cursed Ravens and therefore off limits, and Ace is the player who sleeps with women but loves none of them. It's not a match either expected, but then sometimes that's how love is.

I just want to say that if any of you know of an Ace in your life who is single, grab him while you still can! And if you're taken, let me know and I'd love the opportunity to have an Ace of my very own. Seriously, ladies, this is a book boyfriend that everyone wants to have. He's kind, generous, with a good sense of humor and a protective instinct that still gives you space. What more could you ask for? Oh, did I mention he has money too? I really liked Ace from the start, and his connection with Erin was on fire! Erin started out like maybe she would be a pushover, but she quickly turned it around and showed her spitfire personality. I related to her a lot, and the way she interacted with all the club members made me want her as my "bestie" too.

This was my first book by this author, but I can tell you right now - now that I have found her, I will definitely be watching for her next book! Really fun writing style with engaging characters. Highly recommended.

**I received a free copy via NetGalley and this is my honest review.**

I love all of Chantal's books so when I saw this I had to read it asap and I was not disappointed. I love MC books and have read all of Chantal's previous ones so I knew this would be another must read. I stayed up to 3am as I couldn't put it down I needed to finish it.

When Erin finds out that the guy she thought was her dad is not actually her biological dad she sets out to find him and it leads her all the way to the Cursed Ravens clubhouse where she finds her dad the president and she also finds a Ace who she cant seem to keep her eyes off and him off her, but she is the Princess of the Cursed Ravens so she is off limits too all, but there is no denying the chemistry between Ace and Erin. Loved the relationship that Erin quickly develops with the boys Knuckles, Rouge and her dad, cant wait to hear there stories. There was a bit of mystery in this book as something happens and they need to find answers. Was an amazing read cant wait for the rest of the series. Another must read by Chantal. Will be buying this on paperback for sure.

**4.5 Stars **

This was my first book by this author and I found it to be very enjoyable. I read Ace of Hearts in one sitting because it was so engaging.

I am a big fan of MC books in general, but I really enjoyed the story line and I absolutely adored Erin and Ace together. I liked how the big bad biker men also had a softer side in this book. I look forward to reading more from this author and hopefully future books in this series.

When Erin Dawson stumbles across her birth certificate she realizes that the life that she has lead for the last twenty years has been a lie, the man she has believed to be her father, is a replacement for her biological father. Her mother made a decision twenty years ago to keep her real father out of the picture and while that fact may sting, it also leaves her curious about the man who created her, so she sets out on a journey to find him. When she arrives at the Cursed Ravens clubhouse she instantly feels out of her element, the men look are looking at her like she is their next meal, and the women scowl at her because she is wandering into their territory. Within minutes she is circled by several big brooding bikers wanting to stake a claim on her, but before one of them has a chance to she gets whisked away by a devastatingly handsome man named Ace. Little does she know this one little encounter is about to give her everything she is after... and so much more!

There is so much to love about Ace Of Hearts, I am a sucker for biker romances, and this one spoke volumes to me, it was rich with emotion, had a little suspense to keep me intrigued, and some serious heat to curl the toes!! Within minutes of starting of it I found myself growing quite attached to the main character Erin, she was fearless, feisty, and knew how to keep the men around her on their toes at all times... the girl was downright inspiring! Then Ace came crashing into her world, and not only did the man steal her heart, but he stole mine too, he had an unexpected soft side that really sealed the deal for me. I also loved meeting all the secondary characters, I have my eye on a few of them, and cannot wait to get my hands on their stories, and get up close and personal with them! I highly recommend you take a chance on this one, it's a well crafted tale that will speak to heart and leave thoroughly satisfied!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

The author is amazing. I have read a couple of her books and been just as captivated by her writing.
Lila is an FBI Profiler, a woman with a guilty past, has more men in her life through blood, work, and steam (she doesn't do romance) and being assigned this bloody case forces her back to the place she escaped from several years ago.
She is a tough lady fighting for her place in this man's world which leaves little room for a personal life.
The grisly murders from three cities may be tied together and she is sent to find out. The question soon becomes is she tied to the murders and is she next?
The clues are parsed out slowly from backstory to the current case. Trust for those around her is called into question leaving her the only one she can depend on for complete disclosure. Every page pulls you in deeper. I'm invested and can't wait for the rest of the story.

This is part one of Chantal Fernando new M/C series. She does it again . Bang on
Hero is Ace (part of the M/C. Heroine is Erin .

Erin gets a surprise when she finds out her father is not really her father . Erin is determined to go looking for her real father. . She finds him . Her father is the president of a M/C . Erin doesn’t know how to take being part of her fathers world.
She decides to give it a go ? That is where Erin meets Ace.
Ace sees Erin but he knows that she is off limits because of who she is.
This story is mostly on Erin but it’s a fantastic 5 star read.

This is the first book in a new series that centers itself around a motorcycle gang and it's members looking for (or falling into) love. The book incorporates humor, romance, suspense, and drama into a book that you won't be able to put down. The characters are likeable (maybe not so much relatable) and the author weaves an easy to image picture. Definitely going to be on the lookout for books two and three!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by Netgalley)...

I’m so happy we have another MC to read about from the great Chantal Fernando.

This is a brand new MC with brand new characters we have not met before. Erin, just found out her biological father is part of the Cursed Ravens MC and she decides to she has to meet him ASAP. Erin was both prepared and unprepared for what she walked into but Ace was always there to help her out.

Unfortunately, finding your long lost father is not the only big surprise in her life, apparently someone is not pleased with her sudden appearance and makes it known she is not welcome.

So much happens throughout the book and I loved every moment of it. Ace was swoon-worthy but the deal between him and Gage was very poorly handled and Erin reacted exactly as she should have.

But the best part for me was the reveal of Erin’s roommate, but I don’t want to spoil it for everyone. I’m just so happy we get a glimpse into my favorite MC.
