I could not put this book down because once it pulled me in from the first page, it just wouldn’t let me go. This couple were not only cute together, but steamed up the pages with the connection they have. I laughed, I cried, and my heart pounded with angst while reading this book. Saint gave me all the feels. I loved this new family. Chantal Fernando brought us an amazing new MC series! I cannot wait for future books coming our way.

"Blood isn't everything—loyalty is."

I couldn't resist getting a taste of the first book in the new Knights of Fury MC series by Chantal Fernando. I think the first is always the hardest for an author because she has to lay the groundwork and introduce the characters for the first time. And I have to say she did a great job in that area. I already feel connected to the club family and my heartstrings were pulled past comfortable in the telling of this tale.

Skylar is a very likable character, she's sassy and sweet. But, that doesn't mean she doesn't have a broken heart. Raised like a club princess during her younger years, she has a close relationship with her biker family... until she doesn't.

It was exciting to read Saint's letters from prison as I anticipated their eventual reunion. I fell for him right along with Skylar as a young girl experiencing her first crush. But, he was older than her, so they could never be more than friends... then. Along with her, I wanted answers about the past. And, I wanted them to finally act on the feelings they had for each other.

Did I mention that there is also a character that I hate so much I wished for a voodoo doll to torture? Just wait, you'll be joining me at my Kindle throwing party soon. Just make sure it's enclosed in a kiddie case to protect it so you can get to the end of the story, you won't want to miss that, trust me.

One of my favorite things about a Chantal Fernando book is the character relationships and witty banter. I'm already feeling attached to the club family and looking forward to spending more time with them. The line forms here...

This was an entertaining read, but I did have a hard time connecting with the characters. I think I would have liked to have seen Sky develop more in the 5 years she was away from the club. It seemed like everyone moved on and matured except her. Her character still felt a bit naive and passive to me. Especially when she allowed people to make decisions for her and she’d just get angry for about a page before she forgave them. It felt like most of the book was just her reacting to things that were happening outside of her influence. I think if Sky was developed more and was a more active character in her life, and if there were less plot curveballs thrown in, this would have been a more rounded novel. Since this is the first in a new series, maybe those issues will work themselves out as the you see more of the characters.

I have read my fair share of MC biker series but this one, I wasn't able to resonate with. The characters and their 'connection’ was just about nonexistent and the storyline wasn't intriguing enough to keep me at bay. There wasn't anything particularly interesting about this read which lead me to drop the series

Great start to a new MC series.

It's been five years since Skylar was ripped from the MC by her batsh!t crazy mom. She comes home and reconnects with her teenage crush, Saint. Lots of drama and hot sex, plus MC drama all mixed together to make a great book.

An absolute ripper of a start to this new series, Saint and Skylar meet when Sky was young, but she was ripped away from her MC family. Years later they are reunited and the connection is still strong. Lots of drama, action and suspense, I’m really looking forward to more of this series!

3.5* Decent intro to this tale, but tbh, there was a little too much going on and it was a bit messy. And, Sky needed to grow up a bit more.

This is a decent read but I did think that Skylar was rather immature and quick to jump to conclusions. She wasn't a sheltered girl, given that she'd been raised in a MC club, and she acted a bit like a spoilt, entitled princess. At the same time, her 'father' and the guy she ends up with, Saint (who was and wasn't one), liked to cosset and spoil her and I think their relationship worked because of that.

It wasn't a deep tale within an MC world, unlike too many out there that make me struggle with the crossing of lines, so that was refreshing. But, as I mentioned, there was a bit too much going on, a few too many characters, a few too many threads that petered out or ended without anything of notable interest. And, that ending? The author didn't do her research. When a person dies, if theirs is a sole bank account, it dies with them and there are formalities depending on whether they left a will or not. What the author described as happening wouldn't happen, no way, so that didn't work. The author really should have done her research a bit more.

Skylar was raised in the MC life but when her mother takes her away from the only father she's ever known things change. She never forgot Saint, the boy she grew up with, and had a crush on even though he was older than her. Saint contact her from prison and she realizes that she needs to get in touch with him and reconnect with her "father". The MC life is tough but familiar and even though there's lots of club drama she thrives knowing Saint will always be there for her. Great MC romance with lots of action.

MC drama with an unexpected evil mastermind working to ruin everything that Skylar is working towards in her life. After being ripped from the only family she’s ever known Skylar is living day to day, working to make ends meet. One letter from her first crush changes everything and she is drawn back to the MC life not knowing who to trust and what to believe. Lots of romance, action, and emotional drama. I absolutely loved Saint, he really wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to Sky. A quick, enjoyable read. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is my honest review.

Saint really does love to shower his girl with love, “you’d be beautiful no matter what size you are,” he replies as I rip open the wrapper on a chocolate bar." Saint will tale one for the team if it makes his girl happy, “in the woods,” he says casually, grinning at my reaction. “If you need to poop, I will dig you a hole.” I liked this book, I loved Saint.
