This was a hot biker book! Erin is determined to meet her biological father. The fact that her mother never told him her 'dad' wasn't really her 'dad' and that she had a father out there somewhere ticked her off. Hence the craziness of walking into a clubhouse unannounced and demanding to see none other than there prez! I laughed a bit at that part because it took guts.

There was a lot in this. The diving into the MC scene was an eye-opening experience for Erin and it was really fun to watch. The forbidden romance was hot. I really was sad at the end and being right about the bad guy. I wanted it to be someone else.

It was a 4/5 for me. I will read more about the Ravens!

Thank you to the author/publisher for the review copy of this book. I received this book in exchange for an honest review and the opinions stated above are 100% mine.

This was an excellent read. Strongly written, great supporting characters and a thorough storyline. There were no gaps in the story, no fluff and was really engaging. Does not overly exaggerate the characters, storylines and MC as often a MC read can take on so I found there were no frustrations. Although written completely in the point of view of Erin, the heroine, the descriptions and interactions with the other characters, show in detail their thoughts and views, even though we don’t see it directly. Fabulous read – definite recommend - so great I had to look if there were others coming out and to my luck looks like there will be at least 2 more to follow. Can’t wait!

Erin has had her world shattered when she finds a second birth certificate and the father is Gage and not Brock. When she confronts her mother, the truth comes out. A visit to the Cursed Ravens MC will change Erin's life in more ways than one as she gets to know her MC family and take her place as the
"Princess" of the Cursed Ravens. I voluntarily agreed to review this book from Netgalley.

First we should say that we LOVE MC books and if you are looking for a good one, Chantal Fernando is usually the place to start! She writes a great motorcycle club series, like no other!

This story was filled with mystery, romance, and suspense and it kept us hooked until the end. Not to mention all of the side characters were so fun and likable. We will definitely be looking out for the other books in the series, because we quickly fell in love with not only Erin and Ace, but all the guys in the MC

I was so excited when I saw that Chantal was writing a new MC series. I have loved all her bikers in the past and couldn't wait to see what she could do with a whole new cast of characters. She did not disappoint. I loved the storyline right off the bat and how the characters handled it was so real I forgot I was reading a fiction book.

The entire cast of characters in this book were amazing. You loved them and hated them as soon as their stories were told. The men were rough and tough as nails but, weren't afraid to show their soft spots when the situation called for it. Erin was sweet and naive in ways but, also smart and tough. She entered into a whole new world for her and withstood what it threw her way.

All around and exciting start to a series that I can't wait to get more of.

The princess has arrived. This is the start of another great MC series by an author who knows how to incorporate humor, suspense, and lust into a book that you can’t put down. Erin is a person with a great sense of humor which will give you laugh out loud moments. Ace is a man that all the women want.

Erin bravely walks into the Cursed Ravens MC clubhouse and stuns them all by giving them their Prez’s full legal name and tells them that she needs to see him. All of a sudden the flirtatious air of the men surrounding her turns into something full of animosity and suspicions. She has come to introduce herself to a father that never knew she existed. It shocked her as well to know that the man who raised her was not her biological father and her birth father was a president of the Cursed Ravens MC.

I am excited for this new series because we are given characters that will touch your heart just like Ace, Erin and Gage have done in this book. Be ready for suspense and chemistry that we can only hope for.

I received this book as an ARC for a freely given and honest review.

Complicated, steamy and exciting. Girl fiends out daddy isn't really her father and heads out to meet bio dad. She's in for a shock because the life he leads is completely different than the one shes lived. It's sexy and entertaining and well written. I really enjoyed. I'm curious about the roommates story. Hoping shes next :)

I received an ARC from Netgalley. First off, Chantal Fernando is one of my favorite authors. Especially her motorcycle series so I was super excited when she decided to another series after the Wind Dragons. The Cursed Ravens are a breath of yummy fresh air. Storyline is great and the cast of characters is superb. I look forward to the next in the series.

I love ALL of Ms Fernandos works (with the exception of that one errant blowjob in the WDMC, ahem, which we shall never mention again) and holy hell, the woman writes a mean MC story. After falling head over heels for her last series, I expected pure perfection with the Ravens and to a certain point she did not disappoint. Let me explain. Hot guys, warm fuzzy friendships, a quirky heroine, a wicked hot guy, danger, drama, dialogue.... all there in spades. But for me, I didn't *feel* the connection I was hoping between Erin and Ace. They didn't make me fall for them, falling for each other (does that make sense?). It was hot, yes, and clearly written that they had deep-and-meaningfuls for each other, but I didn't *feel* it. Maybe Faye and Sin spoiled me, I dunno. And speaking of Sin and Faye, we find Clover now all grown up as a college student?? and having a parent/kid space spat, which made me feel OOOOOOLD and kind of time-warpy.
I digress.
It was solidly written, with enough amazing minor characters to each get their own story (yay!) - so I'm going to chalk this up to chemistry between me and Ms Fernando on this one and sit on the edge of my seat til the next story comes out, with hearts in my eyes and room in my heart to love the next couple.
Thanks!

I received an arc from Netgalley. Ace and Erin’s story starts off with an order to stay apart. Love finds a way in this romance but someone doesn’t want that love to grow or the new found father relationship to begin for Erin.

Lots of twists and turns through this story but through it all you will be glued to the book.

Great read.

A great start to a new series by this wonderful author. This book had me from page one and I could not put it down until I hit the last page. Other work suffered so I could finish this book. Erin was hilarious! She had me laughing often. She reminded me of Faye from the Wind Dragons. She could be her daughter or her sister with all of that sass. Ace is an Alpha male, who is in a tailspin because he has never met a woman like her before. I fell in love with these characters. I know I am going to love all these characters in this world as much as I did the Wind Dragons. I cannot wait for the future stories. There are a lot of HEAs I want to see coming. This was a great read! I highly recommend it. If you loved Chantal’s Wind Dragon series, or even MC romance, then I think you will enjoy this book.

Ace of Hearts is Chantal Fernando's first installment of her new series, The Cursed Ravens. The story brings her fans back to the MC world with this new club and follows Erin Dawson, the unknown princess of the MC.

I really liked Erin's character and thought that she was portrayed very realistically. She had a back bone and didn't back down from a fight, which I loved, but we still got to see those moments where she was unsure and hesitant to make waves while at the MC. I really liked that she was tough yet not in a unapproachable way.

Ace definitely took a backseat in this book but I still liked what we were able to learn about him. Even though he didn't get as much page time as Erin did I still felt like I knew him pretty well so I didn't mind that we didn't get a full backstory on him. He wasn't your typical biker manwhore and we actually got to see a lot of sweet times with him that made me love him. I liked the sexual tension he brought to the story when he was fighting the attraction to Erin and thought it added an extra dose of intrigue.

I love Ms. Fernando's MC books and this one is no different. I can't wait to see more from this MC and I'm already dying for a few characters to find their HEA. And as just a little tease to anyone that's a fan of the Wind Dragon MC series there was a character from it that popped up in this book that I think everyone will love.

Actual Rating 3.5 Stars

"People spend their whole lives looking to connect with someone. To feel that pull, that tether, and to be understood. To be loved. He might be a big tough biker, but he can't pretend that he's different from the rest of us."

When I first heard about Ace of Hearts, I was over the moon. I was ridiculously excited. I'm a huge fan of Chantal Fernando's Wind Dragon MC Series, so I couldn't wait to dive into this one. Ace of Hearts hits the ground running and had me totally captivated. My first impressions of Erin was she was one badass, ballsy chick. She had no fear when it came to confronting the father she never knew about. Suddenly Erin finds herself immersed in a world that she never knew existed and has the caught the eye of Ace. Ace is rugged, sexy and everything Erin should stay away from. But, the pull between these two is instant and wild horses couldn't keep these two away from one another. Will Ace and Erin pursue their connection despite her father's warnings? Will Erin be tough enough to handle the biker world?? There's only one way to find out...

Overall, I thought this book was an ok read. It's kind of hard for me to review because there were so many wonderful parts that I just loved and wanted more of.  And then there were parts that were just rough. Let's start with the good: I loved the characters. They were everything I wanted and then some. They were bikers with a heart of gold. You could tell they were badass when they needed to be, but also had really big hearts. I loved Ace. He was real with Erin and didn't play games. He was sexy and swoon worthy; the total package. And Erin, I really loved her fearlessness. She had balls and was tough. I could definitely see her fitting in well with the MC world. Together, I thought Ace and Erin made a good match. Their chemistry was instant and smokin hot. The tension between the two of them was definitely palpable and made you want to see more of their story.

What didn't work: At times the story felt a little rough, like it needed to be developed a little more. I felt like the the intensity of the MC world was dumbed down at times for Erin and I would have liked to see it be a little more real. There were definitely some moments that felt a little cheesy to me. Also, I wish there had been a little more consistency with Erin. For most of the story, she is portrayed as this strong, badass daughter of the MC president. However, there were moments where she appeared bratty, weak even. I wanted to roll my eyes at some of her behavior.

So, while this book isn't a 100% slam dunk for me, I do think that this series has a lot of potential. For me, there were some elements that worked and others that didn't. And while I didn't love it, I still had a good time reading this book. Like I said there is a ton of potential here and in the end, the characters won me over and had me wanting to know more. I'm curious to see where this series will go next and would be open to reading more from it in the future.

4.5 Stars!!!

When I found out Chantal Fernando was starting a new MC series, I think I literally did a happy dance! I am a huge fan of The Wind Dragon MC series, so I had high hopes for The Cursed Ravens MC and I am so happy to say I LOVED Ace of Hearts! I absolutely loved premise and thought Chantal did a fantastic job with introducing a whole new crew of characters. Not only is Ace of Hearts a really addictive romance novel, but it’s also filled with nail biting suspense! I flew through the book in just one day because it was that good! I am really hoping Chantal Fernando makes this a long running series with many, many installments! If you’re looking for a romance novel that is both consuming and entertaining than check out this 4.5 star gem!

Erin discovers that her father isn't her biological father so she decides to locate her "real" father. It's quite a shock when she finds out her dad is the president of the Cursed Ravens MC. The MC world isn't like anything Erin has seen before and finding her place in it is harrowing. Ace, a member of the club, helps her and as their romance progresses Erin comes into her own. Great MC romance!

I loved this book! When Erin finds out her biological dad is not who raised her she is mad. She's always had a rebellious streak and she's determined to find the man who fathered her, even against her mother's wishes. What she doesn't know is his she will be received, but when has that ever stopped her?

Will she find her father and him accept her or send her packing?

Ace of Hearts by Chantal Fernando is the first book of her new Cursed Ravens MC series. What a fantastic start it is and I LOVED it! Bravo Ms. Fernando welcome back to writing MC Romance again.

Erin Dawson is determined to find her biological father when she finds her birth certificate and confronts her mother. So determined not to go into this blind she researches MC clubs online and takes a bus for 4 hours to the city. But when the taxi drops her off at the clubhouse the first person she sees is Ace. After meeting her father, Gage (also the president) each and everyone of the members of The Cursed Ravens will soon fall in love with the feisty Erin including Ace. Except for one person who wants her dead and will do anything to make sure she doesn't stay.

Ace (Carson Kendrick) loves the Ravens they are his family but when he first meets Erin it will become very hard to be hands off like he promised her dad. Within two weeks he'll be teaching how to ride and hopefully convince her to stay instead of going back home. But when she ends up in the hospital twice and then finds out her father Gage will do anything to get her stay. When Erin finds out she runs back to home but Ace, Gage and Knuckles will try to fix their error by coming to her home. Will they figure out who is trying to kill her and Ace finally tell Erin how much she means to him?

Read carefully there will be a minor character show up from Wind Dragon's that will surprise you.

This was a lot of fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the Wind Dragons and the Cursed Ravens are equally memorable. Ace and Erin were good characters, even if they were at times a touch one-dimensional, but it could just be that the story was too short. I liked their stories and their chemistry.
I am very much looking forward to reading the stories of the other Ravens and discovering who Clover belongs to.
