Isabella and Renny were of different worlds, yet they seemed to click pretty naturally. Although they get off to a rough start, I liked that they didn’t let anything stand in the way of what was blossoming.

The plot sets up future books nicely without removing the focus off the main characters. There wasn’t too much of the dark side of MC books like the trope usually sees. It’s definitely lighter and both Isabella and Renny were utterly sweet. I’m definitely interested in what’s next.

Complementary copy received and voluntarily reviewed.

I knew reading Saint that I had to have Renegade's story with the hottie neighbor. It's definitely an interesting one. Vegas bights always leave a trace.

While we don't learn much about Renny, we learn that he's more than neighborly. Watch Izzy struggle with her truth; love can come when you least expect it.

What a way to meet your neighbor--on a speed trip to Vegas to be with my sister giving birth alone. When your car just stops there isn't time to refuse a ride on his motorcycle along with some of his friends who are on their way to Vegas too.

The guys weren't what their reputations seemed. Oh, they were hot, especially Renny. They were funny and fun to be around. She was not prepared to be asked on a date when they came back. It was just the beginning. He was really smart and funny and they all seemed to accept Izzie.

When my sister and niece moved in she wasn't excited about my decision and worried about the danger surrounding them. When danger showed up was it because of them or ... preventing spoilers means you'll have to read to figure out where the danger comes from.

Danger isn't the only thing coming between Renny and Izzie. Can they find more than the steam between them to keep them together or will it end what could have been? I loved the club guys, their women, and Izzie's sister, baby, and puppy. The enemies and frenemies could be the danger to the women and the club. Can the Knight's fix it?

A solid recommendation.

Admittedly MC romances are not my first choice trope, but I was hoping this one would change my mind since it has another trope I LOVE. The "oh no I woke up in Vegas married to a bad boy" is one of my favorite storylines. Unfortunately even with that, this one missed the mark for me and I struggled to feel connected to the plot. LOTS was going on and I lost interest quickly. DNF at 34%

I fell in love with the talented Chantal Fernando after the first book in the Knights of Fury series, so I didn't even have to read the description before I absolutely knew that I would HAVE to read it. She instantly became high on the list of my favorite MC authors. With that being said, while it was refreshing that the H/h were sweet in this trope, I still feel like it was missing that extra spark that makes her MC reads so intense. See, Izzy had been living next door to the Knights of Fury clubhouse, so they don't bother her any, and she's been waiting for the birth of her sister's baby so wouldn't miss it for anything. However, when her car breaks down at go time, one of the Knights offers her a ride to Vegas so she doesn't miss out. That man was Renegade, who was a sweet as Izzy was, while being a mouth watering sexy man. She misses the actual birth, but little else, not to mention she's very grateful that the Knights are sticking around to give her a ride back. This leads to drinking a bit too much, and waking up married to Renny in the morning. So yeah, that's how this story came out of the gate, and there was little angst, though the drama came. As they start to get to know one another, will they decide that fate stepped in, or was it a bad mistake made?! One click to find out! I CANNOT WAIT to see what happens next in this series, and HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A toe-curling romance that will leave you with a smile on your face. Fernando does an amazing job at creating characters that you will fall in love with from the very first page. Her bad boy bikers with hearts of gold will have you looking for your own personal Renny and her strong-willed females will inspire you to always fight for what you love.

I am a huge fan of Chantal Fernando and I am really digging the Knights of Fury series. We find out more about Renny this one and there are a few bombs dropped in which my jaw dropped almost to the floor, I couldn't freaking believe it!

All in all, the characters mashed extremely well, there was a well thought out story line, and the chemistry is OH SO HOT!! The only thing I would have wished for is that the book just seemed to stop. I would have liked a little bit more there, but other than that, I am a happy camper with this book. If you like MC reads with sassy but good girl leading ladies, definitely check out Renegade!

PS: Thank you to Chantal Fernando and Give Me Books PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly!

Isabella and Renny were of different worlds, but actually have a lot in common. Nevermind the fact that they have been checking each other out for months now in passing. They just fit!
Renegade is there when Isabella needs him the most volunteering to take her to her sister since they are already on their way to Las Vagas. Even better he tells her that she can ride back with the club after she spends time with her sister and newborn niece. That's exactly what she does.
At the end of the week, she tells them that although she comes to Vagas to visit her sister neither have actually had the full Las Vagas experience. Renny and his brothers offer to fix that and take her out on the town.
No one expects for Renegade and Isabella to wake up married.
We’re in Vegas. Honeymoon? Mrs. Steel? I think we all know what he’s getting at here, but no, just fucking no. There is no way I would do that. I rack my memory, flashing back to every place we went, every club and every bar, every laugh. I remember doing Fireball shots with Renny, and then I remember... Nothing. What happened after the Fireballs at Hakkasan? We share a look, and he looks just as concerned as I feel. I glance down at my hand and see a wedding band. One that wasn’t there yesterday.


So now here they are doing their relationship in reverse. Marriage then dating and laughing getting to know each other better.

Then the other shoe drops
I’ve never felt so used, though, and so betrayed. I thought Renny was... well, the one. My one. I’d never been so hopeful in love than I was less than twenty minutes ago, and now I’m sitting on my couch, crying, alone and destroyed.


I’ve never felt so weak, and I hate that he did this to me. How dare he? I was right, he was trouble from the beginning, and I should have trusted my gut instinct and stayed away from him. I should have resisted temptation, but I didn’t, and now I have to pay the price. God help the next man who tries to love me.


How do you come back from that?

Chantal Fernando has been a go to author for me ever since I read my first book by her Dragon’s Lair. I follow all of her series and this latest novel is just as exciting as her early motorcycle club romance novels. A little bit of danger and a lot a bit of love- I really enjoyed this book.

In the second book in the Knights of Fury series, Renegade, by USA Today, New York Times and Amazon Bestselling Author, Chantal Fernando is where we meet Isabella and Renegade.

Renegade is a member of the Knights of Fury MC and has been for a while. His brotherhood to the other members is everything to him. Isabella is just the cute ‘neighbor’ who never complains or calls the cops on them if the music or rumble of the bikes get noisy. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t someone they’d like to get to know.

After packing for Vegas, where Ariel, Izzy’s sister lives, her car decides to break down just as she’s out of her driveway. Desperate to get to Vegas because her sister is almost due to give birth, she accepts a ride from one of the bikers who, in contrast to what you’d think, she doesn’t fear at all.

Izzy makes it to Vegas and after meeting her new-born niece, Mila, and taking care of her sister for a while, she heads back with the hot biker who was her virtual ‘Knight in shining leather armor’. Of course not before enjoying a proper Vegas night out. Whatever she thought the night would result in, waking up married to said biker was certainly not a part of the plan.

Who knows what else could happen from there?

Isabella just had to reach her sister, so hitching a ride with a bunch of hardened MC bikers didn’t stop her cause, and besides they’re her neighbor’s so what harm can there be? There’s one, extra hot one, Renny, that’s the harm. He crosses every box in the ideal man category, handsome, very thoughtful, cooks and cares for others. Izzy can’t believe her luck.
Renny and Izzy are very different, they make a fun couple, but unfortunately there journey isn’t all smooth sailing.

A story set aside from the dark side of the MC. Plenty of chances to see past and future characters though. A much lighter MC story but still very entertaining. Looking forward to more from this series!

Chantal Fernando delivered another fantastic story with the second book in her Knights of Fury MC series. I really enjoy reading her books. This one easily grabbed my attention and just wouldn't let it go.

I was so engaged with the story and the amazing characters that I had trouble putting it down. This was Renny and Izzy"s book, or Renegade as our hero is known by his club name, and we met Izzy in the first book, as she lived near the club and had helped Skylar and Saint. I loved how Renny and Izzy hooked up in the beginning of the story. He was her bad ass biker hero with a softer side which helped to hook Izzy and of course they took the reader along for a ride that got as bumpy as expected as Chantal Fernando threw in a few big surprises, a bit of trouble with a rival club, and some emotional family drama to overcome.

As usual, Chantal Fernando was spot on in bringing her wonderful characters to life and engaging the reader with an intricately placed romance and steamy sexiness, nail biting suspense, drama and action. I enjoyed catching up with Saint and Skylar from the previous book. I absolutely loved Renny and Izzy ! Can't wait to find out whose book is next ..... maybe Trade and Ariel .... lord I hope so .... they had some hot chemistry together .... they have to get a book .... or maybe Temper .... the characters populating this series are simply amazing. So whoever gets the next book I love it already !

What could one wild night in Vegas lead to? That’s what Renny and Izzy will find out. The second book in the Knights of Fury series takes us on the wild ride of their story. And what turns out to be an innocent ride to Vegas turns into so much more. These two not only have to navigate their way now that they are married, but when Izzy finds out why Renny really was there that morning to help her with her car, it changes everything. Can they figure out how to make things work? Or will Renny’s deception be too much?

Renegade, the second in the Knights of Fury MC series, reminding me of my fantasy of riding off into the sunset on a motorcycle. Lucky girl, Izzy does that with pure sex on a stick, Renegade aka Renny and I'm not jealous at all! While all books can be read standalone, I recommend reading the start of the series first.

Izzy lives next door to an infamous MC compound and while she's not rushing over to borrow a cup of sugar, they've been good neighbors so far. They become even better neighbors when her car breaks down and she needs to get to Vegas for her sister. Renny becomes her knight in a shiny Harley when he rides to her rescue. The guys get her there in one piece and she's intrigued by the sexy bad boy.

Renny has had a thing for the sexy neighbor since she doesn't moved in, so he doesn't pass up an opportunity to play her hero. Riding to Vegas with her arms wrapped tight around only solidifies that desire. So when they wake up married, he's reluctant to unravel the ties that bind. But Renny forgets the old saying about honesty being the best policy and it might cost him everything.

Good read full of sexy sweetness from our biker and his fiesty lady. Strangely, being that this is an MC book, it was light on drama and suspense. As an avid MC fan, the drama left me a tad underwhelmed, but Renny and Izzy were still quite good. I look forward to more in this series.

I liked this one, but I think it tried to do too many things without totally hitting the marks for them. The sexy times were really fun and steamy in this one, and I felt like the h/H had really great chemistry. I also loved the suspense aspects to the story, I just wish that plot line had been a bit more fleshed out. I liked what this story tried to do I just wanted MORE.

I was pulled right into this story. The story has pain, suspense, secrets, and heartache.


This Isabella and Renny's story. When your car breaks down and your hot neighbor to allows you to tag along you go. Holding him for hours should be fun. When time out with the rowdy bikers ends with them married they need to figure out if it should end or be the beginning of something special. Is she okay with the biker life?

Lots of twists and turns to keep you involved with the story.

I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I recommend this book.

The whole married in Vegas trope can be fun I'm not sure how it will be with the addrd MC element though. But I've liked the series so far. Renny helps Izzy out when she needed it to go to Vegas. There a little partying goes in a drunken wedding. While I'm glad they want to give it a shot in an actual relationship not married but dating. I think by Izzy wanting to consummate it then being all weird about getting it annulled is odd. They both like each other and get along so maybe they should've handled the marriage thing first before diving in. It just gets messy.

I get Izzy's reservations about the biker thing but she went ahead and got close to them and all. They don't communicate too well. I know Renny and the whole alpha biker thing but he's actually a nice guy. I liked Izzy not a pushover she can be rash. The whole MC being nice to her blew in an unexpected way. While I think that could be solved with talking it out or facing the issue that Renny has ulterior motives in hanging out with Izzy.

Even though that whole thing with Izzy hating on the MC she softened towards Renny soon enough. I got confused she wasn't sure about the whole thing but then she eventually caved. It ends pretty fast. There was blow back drama from the last book that's just starting again which probably will carry over with the other books. All in all an fair enough read nothing to really dislike. Easy enough to read along. I guess after to huge books it was a nice break.

I love Chantal Fernando’s work, Dragon’s Lair being one of my all time favs. But Renegade left something to be desired.

I keep going back to the tone in a lot of these reviews and books because I feel like it’s so important. Without the tone, the books read like a textbook. Which just doesn’t work. I’m not expecting break neck action scenes and romance ever other page. But, for instance, Clockwork Angel has A LOT of inner monologues but the reader never notices it because the tone and the pace of the book makes it so that the long passages aren’t truly noticeable.

Renegade in all other aspects was a great book. Renegade and Izzy were adorable together and the way they looked out for each other’s family was admirable. But the whole experience was ruined but the tone.

Which sucks. I hope the next one is better.
