Rhetta , Cara and Clover have grown up together in the "Wind Dragons" but ever since she was little girl Coiver wanted to be a policewoman and I'm sure that didn't sit well with the MC....


Clover follows her dream and the only person who knows her secret is Cara , well she was the only one for a long time ....


I must say I admire Clover, the guys in force gave her a hard time and she doesn't let them to to her and when she's assigned a new partner she learns alot form Felix in more ways than one .....


Her real life collides with "under cover life " and she has to choose between the 2......


I enjoyed Felix and Clover, he taught her alot about being a part of law and order but he also taught her about life and love and his love for her is real and unconditional, something Cara said to her really hit the nail on the head about character " Because you go after what you want , Clover . Without rules or boundaries , you always follow your heart , and I love that about you ."


My heart crumbled when Felix opened up to Clover about about his dad đŸ˜Ș💔 I felt for his loss and I felt for her guilt. Clover is proud of her "heritage" and the Wind Dragons made her who she is and she's not afraid to admit it but at the same time she doesn't want people judging her because if it, so she hides it from both sides and I think it must've been tough to keep it from them and I'm grateful when everything comes to light and Felix accepts her wholeheartedly ❀

As much I love this author and her MC books, this one fell short for me. I couldn't connect to the characters and the story line. But don't get me wrong, Ms. Fernando is a fabulous writer and a great story teller, but Fallen Princess didn't work for me.

This book is:
- A Contemporary MC Romance
- Standalone within a series (you don't have to read the previous books, but you really should!)
- Sweet and Sexy
- Complete Page Turner
- A Chantal Fernando book! What are you waiting for!?!

I wanted to be a heroine. I wanted to make a difference, no matter how big or small. - Clover Black

If you've read any of my previous reviews, then you would know that I'm a big Chantal Fernando fan.
I love the worlds that this author has created and always highly anticipate the releases of her books.
Since learning last year that Chantal Fernando was writing and would be publishing Fallen Princess (Clover's Book!), I'd been eagerly awaiting its release and was extremely excited to receive an arc from Gallery, Threshold, Pocketbooks via Netgalley.

When I finally got the chance to sit down and read Fallen Princess (after numerous false starts, where I'd been interrupted), I read the book all in one afternoon, and seriously, just between us, if someone had have interrupted me one more time while I was trying to read this book, I seriously would have thrown something at them.

This book is an addictive, page turning read, and I think, will surprise readers.
For those readers who have followed Chantal Fernando's Wind Dragons MC series from the very beginning and witnessed the birth of Clover Black and watched as she grew, I think it's pretty safe to say that we, as readers, formed our own impressions, views and expectations of who Clover Black is and of how she'd act (or at least, I'm guilty of it.)

Trust me, when I say that you will be surprised by Clover, or at least I was.
She was not quite how I'd expected her to be which just goes to show that outside appearances can be deceiving and you have to really know someone before you can see them clearly.
I enjoyed every moment of reading this book and learning about Clover Black and her sexy, fun and charismatic new partner, Felix.

This book was a delightful addition to the Wind Dragons MC series and I honestly hope that there will be more books in this series that I adore, but until then, I'll read everything else that Chantal Fernando chooses to publish.

Definitely Highly Recommended Reading

Ok... I know in my last review I said I was stepping back from this series. Because I just hated how much Faye was taking over everything. But once this book popped up. It was calling to me. I felt like maybe.... just maybe things have changed.

But...I don’t know. I love certain characters in this series. But my aggravation towards Faye was still strong. I just don’t get why she’s such a big part in all these books. Arrow and Ana should’ve played a bigger part in this book. But no.... it feels like Faye can’t seem to let go.
I would rather Dex play something more in these books. Not his wife. I just hate it.

As for the story itself. It was ok. I felt Clover wanting to be so independent from her family and the club made her seem almost childish. She made a lot of impetuous decisions. That made for a lot of sticky situations.

I really enjoyed Felix. He was a strong character and knew how to handle Clover. They got each other personalities.

I really loved reading about all the club members. I’ve missed them so much. I was hoping for more interaction with them. It seemed really weird then being older now! But I loved it.

Overall... this was an ok read. I really did I miss all the characters except for Faye! lol but overlooking her. This was an ok read.

I feel in love with the MC Wind Dragons from The first story Dragon's Liar, Fallen Princess was so much more than just another book all these characters have become real to me from Story one. Chantal never disappoints lots of Action, Hot Men and tons of romance. Clover and Felix where a pair with very strong personalities and loyalty. I loved seeing all the characters from precious books in the series included. I can't wait to read more!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clover is the daughter of a former Wind Dragons MC president. She's always been wild and wanted to go her own way. She decides to become a cop without her family knowing about it. She meets Felix while on the job and the two are attracted to each other. After her family finds out she's a cop, she may have to choose between them, Felix and her job. This is a good MC read.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

j'adore la sĂ©rie des "Wind Dragons" de Chantal Fernando dont les trois premiers tomes ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©Ă©ditĂ©s dans la collection Eden de chez City Editions. Malheureusement pour vous, ils se sont arrĂȘtĂ©s au 3Ăšme (comme chez Ada) alors que cette semaine est sortie la dixiĂšme histoire : "Fallen Princess", considĂ©rĂ© comme le tome 7 (les autres sont des novellas, toutes aussi gĂ©niales) Elle concerne Clover Black, la fille de Dex/Sin et Faye, le couple-phare de la sĂ©rie et les hĂ©ros du tome 1. Ben oui, dans celui-ci, on la voyait naĂźtre, dans celui-ci, c'est une adulte qui va tomber amoureuse d'un policier!!!!!! Autant vous dire que ça surprend chez les Bikers ^^ MAIS, ce sont des gens biens et si leur princesse est heureuse, et bien, ils l'accepteront, surtout si celui-ci se montre digne d'elle et d'eux, bien sĂ»r :) Bref, j'ai adorĂ© ce nouvel opus et comme Ă  chaque fois, j'ai envie de tous les relire et je ne veux qu'une chose, qu'arrive vite le suivant ^^
Je remercie Chantal Fernando et Give me books promotion pour cet ARC (mais aussi Netgalley) pour leur envoi et leur confiance : il est sorti hier le 8 avril et c'est déjà un succÚs (mérité!!) en VO. Espérons que la collection Eden se reprenne et reprenne la traduction des suivants.

Mon avis : bon, je l'avoue, je suis totalement addicte aux romans de Chantal Fernando qui me font le mĂȘme effet que ceux de Kristen Ashley, Suzanne Wright ou Jay Crownover : gĂ©nĂ©ralement, un nouveau se profile, je le rĂ©serve de suite. Celui-ci n'a pas fait exception et je me suis rĂ©galĂ©e Ă  retrouver nos bikers prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©s mais aussi leurs enfants car outre l'histoire de Clover et FĂ©lix, on suit en parallĂšle (enfin, en fil conducteur) celle de Cara (la fille adoptive de Rake et Bailey) et Rhett (qui est le fils de la meilleure amie, Tia, de Bailey et de Talon, le "frĂšre" adoptif d'Anna (qui est la soeur de Rake, vous me suivez ? mdrr) qu'on a connu enfants dans les tomes 4 et 4.5 (ce sont les histoires de Rake et Bailey pour le 4 et Talon et Tia pour le 4.5): histoire d'amour annoncĂ©e mais que j'aurais voulu lire en vrai (pas en paroles rapportĂ©es, espĂ©rons qu'elle l'Ă©crive en nouvelle ;) ) On retrouve tout ce beau monde, des petits nouveaux, des ennemis et surtout cette ambiance exceptionnelle qui fait qu'on est amoureuse du club en entier ^^ Outre l'histoire d'amour entre Clover et FĂ©lix, j'ai surtout adorĂ© la relation qu'elle a avec son pĂšre Dex ou sa mĂšre Faye! gĂ©niale :) On a aussi des nouvelles de la prochaine gĂ©nĂ©ration mais aussi de celles de Dex et Faye. Bref, un rĂ©gal, je vous le dis. Vous rajoutez par dessus l'interaction avec l'autre sĂ©rie de bikers qu'elle a crĂ©Ă©e, The Cursed Ravens,car Clover est amie avec Erin, la fille du prĂ©sident de ce club depuis leurs Ă©tudes (bien qu'elle ait toujours cachĂ© Ă  cette derniĂšre qui elle Ă©tait vraiment) et vous avez un livre que j'ai adorĂ© :)


Le roman commence par un prologue qui se dĂ©roule 13 ans avant l'histoire principale : nous retrouvons la petite Clover chargĂ©e de surveiller son frĂšre Asher pendant que sa mĂšre est Ă  un bureau, en tant qu'avocate, au commissariat, pour essayer de sortir de lĂ  l'un de ses "oncles"- comprendre par lĂ , l'un des bikers ^^ - quand soudain, le petit garçon s'Ă©chappe et va dans la rue et c'est une policiĂšre qui l'arrĂȘte, le prenant dans ses bras. Elle rassure aussi la petite fille en lui disant que tout va bien. Cela va changer complĂštement la vie de la petite fille, qui va alors vouloir ĂȘtre comme elle.
Le chapitre 1 se déroule donc 13 ans aprÚs et Clover est devenue policiÚre, sans l'avoir dit à sa famille. Elle a pour partenaire un crétin fini et l'on reconnait bien là, par son caractÚre trÚs franc, l'héritage de ses parents. Elle est donc amenée à changer de coéquipier (l'autre s'étant plaint) et va rencontrer l'homme de sa vie "Félix", un jeune policier à l'avenir prometteur... AprÚs des débuts houleux, ils vont s'apprivoiser et... ;) Mais le jeune homme a perdu son pÚre, qui a été tué, soi-disant, par des bikers. Comment alors lui dire la vérité? Etonnant aussi que la police ait recruté la fille d'un chef de bikers? Ou est-ce qu'il y a une raison à cela? Vous découvrirez alors qu'il ne fait pas bon essayer d'utiliser la princesse des Wind Dragons car non seulement, elle est la digne fille de ses parents mais en plus, elle a non seulement un club entier derriÚre elle (celui de sa famille) mais aussi un policier et encore plus, le club de son amie! pffffiououuuuuuu gare à ceux qui osent frayer avec elle ^^


J'ai adoré Clover dans les tomes : cette petite puce était craquante et savait déjà ce qu'elle voulait, sans se soucier de ce que les autres pensaient. Elle savait qu'elle était la princesse de son pÚre et avait le soutien de sa mÚre, ce qui lui a permis de se forger une personnalité remarquable. Elle est devenue une brillante jeune femme, une badass comme sa mÚre et son pÚre mais comme elle est jeune, elle fait aussi quelques erreurs, comme ne pas dire la vérité à ses parents sur son métier de policiÚre. Quand ils le savent, ils vont alors lui faire comprendre qu'elle a été utilisée à son insu et que... pffffffiou lol Fort heureusement, elle a le soutien de ses amis, du club (ou des clubs) et de sa famille : elle va encore grandir et s'améliorer. La badass va alors montrer une personnalité plus féminine et touchante. Bref, un personnage trÚsssssssss attachant comme je les aime : forte et parfois fragile, à la fois. Sa rencontre avec Félix sera la cerise sur le gùteau et a un gout d'interdit (comme celles de ses "oncles") mais elle finira de la rendre femme.
J'ai particuliĂšrement adorĂ© ses Ă©changes avec ses parents, peut-ĂȘtre encore plus que son histoire d'amour c'est pour dire, ou avec ses amis. d'enfance Cara et Rhett qui sont comme des frĂšres pour elle, ou ses "oncles" Vinnie, Arrow et bien sĂ»r Rake et Tracker (mon chouchou aprĂšs Sin)


Felix est vraiment celui qui lui fallait car aprĂšs l'avoir testĂ©e, il a vite rĂ©alisĂ© quelle femme exceptionnelle elle Ă©tait : fĂ©minine et sachant se battre et ĂȘtre une dure Ă  cuire, qui a besoin de lui en tant qu'homme mais qui saurait vivre sans lui, si besoin Ă©tait. Il va devoir faire ses preuves pour ĂȘtre apprĂ©ciĂ© des Wind Dragons mais pour elle, il est prĂȘt Ă  tout, quitte Ă  affronter ses propres dĂ©mons. Bref, il sera ĂȘtre son partenaire idĂ©al... ajoutĂ© Ă  un amour infini... Si rien ne semblait simple au dĂ©part, ils vont, comme Ă  chaque fois, faire face Ă  leurs dĂ©fis.


Autres personnages que j'ai adorĂ©s, ce sont Rhett et Cara, ses amis d'enfance, que l'on voit passer d'amis Ă  amants : dommage que ce soit par paroles rapportĂ©es. C'Ă©tait annoncĂ© dans les tomes prĂ©cĂ©dents et lĂ , ça arrive enfin. De vrais frĂšre et soeur pour elle, ils sont gĂ©niaux Ă  tous les points de vue : Rhett est un futur membre du club mais il a Ă©tĂ© Ă©levĂ© dedans et nul doute qu'il sera gĂ©nial. On croise le fils d'Arrow, Nate, une vraie tĂȘte Ă  claque lol mais Ă  l'image de Rake en plus jeune ^^ et bien sĂ»r, mes chouchous Dex et Faye, ou encore Tracker et Anna (je me demande s'ils ont des enfants, eux, je vais demander) ou Rake et Bailey :) Bien que plus ĂągĂ©s, ils sont toujours hot mais gare Ă  ceux qui osent s'en prendre Ă  la princesse ^^

Enfin, les Cursed Ravens que j'adore et j'espÚre que Chantal Fernando changera d'avis (elle travaille sur d'autres bikers) et écrira l'histoire du pÚre d'Erin, Gage Parker, qui me plait depuis le départ.

Bref, un rĂ©gal ! pas un temps mort, des histoires qui se mĂȘlent et se rejoignent... un vrai page turner quand on adore la sĂ©rie.

Vivement vivement le prochain :)

Clover is one tough little princess. Although I'm not so sure it's fair to call her a Princess. She is not afraid of hard work and she wants to do something good in this world. She wants to make a difference and help people. She's got attitude and a whole lot of skills before she even got trained at the Academy.
I just kept waiting for the two worlds that she is walking in to collide. Ohh, that is gonna be messy.
There were times that Felix almost seemed to good to be real. But that's not counting the first time they met. That time didn't get so well when Felix and Clover get reassigned as partners. He was outright rude to her without even knowing her. It doesn't take to long for things to begin to change. It also helped that Clover was quick to address Felix's attitude right off the bat. She took the battle straight to him. I enjoyed some of their conversations and Felix seemed to be a pretty steady guy who was able to calm some of Clovers high energy and temper.
Clover's best friends before becoming a cop are Cara and Rhett . They grew up together in the Motorcycle Club. They have been tight since forever.
There is plenty of action and emotions in this story. And I also was surprised by the interactions of the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club. It wasn't what I was expecting. They were kind of a different group.
There are some surprising twists towards the end of the story that I really enjoyed. I didn't see that one coming. But it does cause a lot of secrets to come spilling out.
The story kept me interested all the way through and I was happy with the way the story ended.

I have read an enjoyed several books written by Chantal Fernandez in the past and I have got to admit that I was very curious about this spin-off. I had already read a little bit about Clover in Ace of Hearts, which made me even more curious about her story. Also...a MC Princess, who is also a cop...I just had to read about that.

Now as much as I enjoyed the story...and I did...there was just one thing, or I should say, one person, that bothered me throughout most of the book... Clover. For some reason, I did not feel any connection with her. I felt she was acting a bit entitled. She wanted her cake and eat it too. She forced her friends to keep secrets from the club and she came off as very judgemental. She also acted as if she herself was the best thing since sliced bread, especially when it came to her job, while she was just a rookie. I also didn't get how she thought that the police force would not know or care about her biker family....dense much !!

Since Clover's mother also works for the FBI (informing or something) I didn't get why Clover being a cop would be such a bad thing. I don't get why and how she kept all of it a secret.

Now I did really like Felix. He's her new partner and he really knows what he is doing, on and off the job. His father was killed by bikers and so he doesn't carry around a lot of love when it comes to MC's. That said, he does carry a lot of love for Clover and so he was willing to work through everything to be with her...

I enjoyed the story and the suspense, but I have got to be honest and say that it was Felix and all the secondary characters that really made the book for me. I didn't hate Clover but she definitely wasn't my kind of heroine. She got better towards the end though ;)

Now I do have high hopes for Cara, she might be more of my liking. I also really liked Rhett so I am very curious to see what's gonna happen with those two.

An ARC was kindly provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

Holy smokes, this book blew me away! Fallen Princess is an amazing addition to the Wind Dragons series and I absolutely loved every moment in it. The tension between Clover and Felix and then their passion for each other. The twisted moments that are intertwined into the story that just packed a massive punch. While this books is about Clover, I love that we get some insight with the past characters of the series because everything that happens affects them too in the long run.
With everything thrown at Clover, I have to say that I loved the strength of her character. She is a fighter and will not back down. She gives as good as she gets but with lots of power behind it. With Felix, she meets her match as he connects with her on every level. Their chemistry is sizzling and it flowed perfectly with the story.

Overall, I cannot say enough about how amazing this story was. It was unique but also raw emotionally as Clover navigates a double life and still holds it together as things implode! If you love this series, you are going to love this book!

Clover is a cop. Her partner is Jinks. She is finally able to do more than paperwork at the station. Clover and her partner are complete opposites. Jinks is one of those cops that lost their enthusiasm for the job. He probably doesn’t remember why he joined whereas Clover had entered the police force with ambition, excitement, and determination to make a change in their world. She wanted to be a heroine. She wanted to make a difference no matter how big or small. But for the most part she’d been sitting behind a desk which was sucking the life out of her. She’s not the best at following orders, especially from someone like Jenks. But for now there was nothing much she can do but keep her mouth shut and follow orders. Clover had been the top student at the Academy. A neighbor had called about a house where the people were away and the alarm went off. When getting to the back door Clover went against the grain and everything she knew to follow her dreams. She did it because something inside her said this was where she was suppose to be. Cara was one of Clover’s best friends. She grew up seeing her practically every day. It sucked seeing her so much less. The sacrifices made once seemed worth it. Cara and Clover meet up and Clover takes Cara to a new bar. Cara asked her when she was gonna stop leading her double life. Rhett was Cara and Clover best friend who didn’t know Clover was a cop. They were all children of the Wind Dragons MC and Rhett had officially joined the MC. The less Rhett knew the better. Clover was usually straight-up honest yet what- you- see kind of girl. But she had lied to everyone about being a cop. It would break their hearts.yet her mother was a lawyer who worked for the FBI. As far as her family and the rest f the Wind Dragons knew she was doing bookkeeping for a firm in the next time over. They were sad she moved away but they were happy for her. Proud even. Which makes it even worse for Clover. Than Rhett called and said he was coming to see her which surprised Clover it was not often he was willing to make the drive opting instead to see her when Clover was home. She had been asked to go to Officer Jones office . He said Jenks wanted a new partner and he was going to grant that and Clover would be paired with Officer Banks who is about to be promoted to sergeant. He’s hardworking, intimidating, and good ar what he does. Than she bumps into her new partner and he makes a rude comment about her being smart. Banks was the cop Clover thought was hot. Than Banks comes to her desk and said they had a domestic violence call. Clover said said she wanted to learn how to be the best cop she could be not pushed into the background. They were partners and it might have been his show up until now, but that was before je met her. She watched Bankstense and his mood sour. The tension in the car was palpable. Clover doesn’t know why he dislikes her since they had just met - ni it’s like he hated her before he ever ,et her and she didn’t know why. Than Clover asked what was the deal and he was being paired with an insolent rookie who won’t listen to her partner. Clover said he knew nothing about her. So he needed to keep his judgemental, rude attitude to himself until he has something to go on. She added show her and teach her how to be better, don’t treat her like she didn’t deserve to be there. Than Banks said there was the attitude he was warned about and Clover answered it’s only because she was a woman, in a man they would call it leadership- skills. She was an asset to the force and they knew it5, they just won't give her a chance. They agree Clover could prove she could listen maybe he could give her some trust in return. The last few weeks being Banks partner had been Clover’s best since being on the force. Banks is starting to trust her and give her some leeway on their calls. Clover realized she liked Banks -or Felix as she now called him-company. He was funny, really hot, and he also had another side to him. She couldn’t actually talk to him. He was approachable, and he has a vibe that screams he will handle anything that’s thrown to him. Clover is very attracted to Felix. Clover’s father is Sin who is a former president of the Wind dragons. Banks and Clover were chasing a drug dealer and Clover took him down . They went to a bar afterwards to celebrate and Felix kisses Clover. Than he asked Clover to go on a date and she said yes. Felix listened to everything she told him. But with everything she is hiding Clover guesses that could be a bad thing. On their date the place they first went to is sto go rock climbing than dinner. Felix told Clover she was the best of all worlds Clover thinks she wasn’t meant to find Felix, not now and not like this. Felix tells her that his dad had been a cop and killed in the line of duty, he died a hero. He was killed by a member of an MC. How could Clover tell felix her family and friends were bikers? It’s too late for Clover to back out now she was falling for Felix. Clover is home and rhett and cara walk in hand in hand. Than Felix called and said they had another lead on the drug dealer- Reaper- they had been after and she needed to get back there. Than when they got to the warehouse Clover sees her mother and two uncles. After they arrest three men and Clover realizes she ruined the trust between her and her family. Than they find out Reaper wasn’t one of the three men they arrested he had escaped. After the arrest Felix asked if she’d like to get a pizza she goes to his house and she finally loses her virginity to him. She knows she has to tell him about her MC ties. She pulls up her parents on his search bar and tells than they are her parents. She saw the flash of hurt and anger is his eyes.
I loved this book. It grabbed me right from the beginning and kept me there until the last page. I loved how close Rhett, Cara, and Clover were and have been since they were kids. I loved how the Wind Dragons considered everyone family I loved the pace and plot of this book. I didn’t want to put this down and lost some sleep to finish this book. I loved Clover and Felix together and how they interacted. I was glad Felix didn’t walk away after Clover told her about her family and friends. I loved Clover’s mom worked with the FBI. I liked that the Wind Dragons gave Felix a chance even though he was a cop because of how much they loved Clover. I loved the characters and ins and outs and I highly recommend this book.

Fallen Princess by Chantal Fernando is book 7 in the Wind Dragons MC series and can easily be read as a standalone.
Clover Black is the Wind Dragons MC princess. And she always wanted to help people. So she choses to join the force and keep it all a secret from her family.
Fallen Princess is a great read. The characters are great and I loved the story and the writing. 4,5 stars.

I absolutely devoured Fallen Princess! I have missed the Wind Dragons MC series so much and getting this book felt like coming home. I really want to go back and read the entire series from beginning to end now all over again because until I read Fallen Princess I didn’t realize how much I really have missed this series.

Clover is the daughter of Dex aka Sin and Faye, so to say that her daughter becoming a cop wasn’t the best of career plans for Clover and add to that she hid it from them. I loved how even though she knew that her family wouldn’t approve of her career choice, even though her mom does what she does, I liked that she felt that she could do good and followed her dream. Being the daughter of an MC member is hard enough at times, but the daughter of the former President I think is even worse. Clover was strong willed, sassy, and I liked that about her. Felix, he balanced her out and any little rough edges she may have had he smoothed them over. I was worried for a bit about his reaction to Clover telling him certain things so when he proved how good of a guy he was it made me very happy for Clover.

I hope that we are going to get more books in the series, I really want to see how some of the original members kids have turned out.

Another fast-paced, engaging read from Chantal Fernando! Admittedly, I don't read a lot of MC romances, but this author has become one of my favorites regardless of the trope. Clover's story sucked me in from the beginning, and even though Clover frustrated me a bit in the beginning, I found myself rooting for her and Felix. The romance is a little Romeo and Juliet-ish minus the whole tragic ending. They come from different worlds, but that doesn't stop the attraction between them. It does, however, add an element of tension to the story as we wait to see how the MC is going to react to Clover's job and her chosen love. Clover has a few things to learn about following the rules and chain of command, which is surprising given her roots, but not so surprising when you consider who her mother is. That stubborn determination does suit her well as things ramp up and she finds herself in a dangerous situation she never saw coming. The story is told from Clover's perspective, so what we get of Felix is what she knows as she knows it. That said, what we do get of our leading man is nothing short of swoon-worthy. He's sexy, sweet, and exactly what Clover needs in her life. To sum it up, Fallen Princess is exciting and sexy, and we even get a bit of suspense and intrigue along the way.

3.25 stars-- FALLEN PRINCESS is the seventh instalment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary, adult WIND DRAGON MC romance series. This is police officers Clover Black, and Felix Banks’ story line. FALLEN PRINCESS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary, FALLEN PRINCESS focuses on the next generation of the motorcycle families. Clover is the daughter of Dex ‘Sin’ Black, vice president of the Wind Dragons MC, and his wife, attorney Faye Black.

NOTE: Several characters from both the Wind Dragons MC and the Cursed Ravens MC cross over for cohesion and history.

Told from first person perspective (Clover Black) FALLEN PRINCESS follows police rookie Clover Black as she struggles to keep secret her family history from the people she works with, and battles between head and heart as it pertains to her job as a cop, and the people she loves. Clover Black, for all intents and purposes, is a little naïve to believe her family connection to the Wind Dragon MC does not go unnoticed by the local PD but a difficult partnership with someone on the force means gaining a reputation, and a new partner on the job. Enter police officer Felix Banks, and the man with whom Clover will fall in love. What ensues is the forbidden but building relationship between Clover and Felix, and the potential fall-out as Clover’s connections to both the Wind Dragons and the Curse Ravens MC will be used against our story line heroine.

The relationship between Clover and Felix is quick to develop. There is an immediate connection but Clover keeps secret her family history, and her connection to the local MC. When a drug sting brings our heroine face to face with the people she loves, all bets are off, including her need to reveal the truth to the man with whom she is falling in love. The $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters many of whom were previously introduced in both the Wind Dragons and Cursed Ravens MC series.

FALLEN PRINCESS is a quick read but in saying that the entire story line felt rushed; the build up was cursory; and the conflict resolutions were hurried and abrupt. Overall, I feel like the small details were missing, details that would have grabbed my attention and pulled me into the story –I did not feel connected. The MC lifestyle is virtually non-existent, almost ‘vanilla’ in comparison to other seires; the action and chaos mostly absent. The premise is fast paced and intriguing; the romance is flirty and warm; the characters are energetic. I am a big fan of Chantal Fernando’s MC series but for me, Fallen Princess didn’t hit the mark.

Having read this author before in a different manner of writing thought when I seen this and am fond of reading MC would try it. Great name also for the club which it kinda got me to take a second look at this one. The princess of this club decides to do something on the sly which will have a trickle effect. She gets a partner Felix that will also soon have a triple effect thanks to other factors also. The story will have some bumps and grinds with also drama fueled in there. She will have some tough decisions that will also have us on edge. Good action packed with the romance we want from a MC.

Little Clover grew up and became a COP!!! What a shake up that will be if she ever lets that secret out of the bag. Clover hasn't revealed to anyone on either side of her double life just who she is; for the MC becoming a cop is on the same lines as becoming a traitor, for the police force MC's are bad news. To make matters even worse, she starts to fall for her new partner, Felix Banks. When he makes it clear that he returns the sentiment, the two start a not secret relationship, but it's more like not advertising that they are involved. But when Clover's secret gets revealed, will she have to choose a side? Will she lose the man she loves, or the family she belongs too?

I love second gen stories, kids that we "saw" grow up and get their own HEA, just makes for a good read. Clover's story is filled with action, drama, some naughty bits (although not a hot as they normally are, these were really tame), and we get to see our favorite Wind Dragons characters. I can't wait to see what we get next. I give this 4 stars.

Fallen Princess is the seventh book in the Wind Dragons MC Series by Chantal Fernando. This is Clover Black’s story. Fallen Princess can ‘technically’ be read as a standalone. But to get a more insightful view of this novel and Clover’s background, I highly recommend you dive into Dragon’s Lair by Chantal Fernando! Trust me, these books are so good, it won’t be a hardship.

The further I read into this series, the more i was curious if we would get Clover’s story. Clover is the Princess of the Wind Dragons MC. Throughout the series I always loved getting the Clover moments. She was so stubborn but also sweet at the same time. I really loved this kid. So to say I was excited to find out Clover was, in fact, getting her own story would be a huge understatement. I was thrilled. I actually may have jumped up and down and screamed
. I’m only human.

About Fallen Princess:

Fallen Princess is told in dual point of views. (Clover Black & Felix Banks)

Being the daughter of a retired MC president, Clover grew up seeing the world through different eyes. She saw the cops as dirty and the MC as good. Clover’s path has always been set for her, marry into the MC and have MC babies. But when she has an encounter with a woman police officer and realizes not all cops are dirty, her life’s plan is completely derailed and new plans are carved in stone. She wants to help the world and make a difference.

Now Clover is living a double life. Life one, she’s an mc princess. Life two, she’s a rookie police officer. Clover is soon to realize eventually all secrets get exposed. When she’s assigned a new partner, she feels an instant connection to her sexy as sin partner, Felix Banks, drawing up a whole new life of secrets.

But Felix has a few secrets of his own. Secrets that could either Make or Break a relationship as confusing as theirs.

My Thoughts:

When I first read the blurb for Fallen Princess, I honestly couldn’t believe what I was reading. Our little Clover
.. Now a police officer
. WTF was Fernando thinking! But as I started to read this one I knew this path was always intended to be the course for Clover. This girl is seriously driven and laughs in the face of fear. She’s always been a fighter, now she’s fighting for the people who can’t fight for themselves.

I knew there would be some drama once Clover and Felix’s chemistry started to grow. Sin’s reaction to the relationship was freaking hilarious. It made me miss these boys and their protective possessive ways.
Felix and Clover’s relationship was definitely one that completely surprised me. I was surprised by how much I loved these two together. I loved the endless banter and the competitive streak between the two. I also loved the lovey dovey moments that brought a huge smile to myself. But the main thing I loved was Felix meeting Clover’s family. And that included all of the Wind Dragons and their wives! This was the exact moment I was waiting for!

Overall, I loved everything about Clover and Felix’s relationship. I loved the cute moments, the angst filled moments, the inner turmoil that came from Clover and living her double life, the secrets, the relationship, but most importantly I loved getting a glimpse of the boys I loved prior to Fallen Princess! If you love MC romances, but you don’t love the violence and gore that typically comes along with these titles, I highly recommend you pick up the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club series! These are a little bit on the tamer side of the mc spectrum and I think you’ll enjoy them! But warning, this series is highly addicting and very entertaining! You won’t be able to put them down!

I was excited to read this book based on the premise even though I admit I hadn't read the previous books in the series. I've actually never read anything from this author at all but the blurb sounded like this book could be read as a standalone. Unfortunately I just couldn't get passed the author's writing style to even connect with the storyline. I found the dialogue to be inauthentic, a silly hang up of mine but I just couldn't get passed it. It didn't take long to decide I would not continue with the story beyond the first few chapters. I won't be reviewing on the blog or goodreads.
