Whats started off as a book I really liked, quickly turned into something I didnt. Then it went off the rails for me. There was so much going on, and it was so hard to make sense of it.

Bronte is definitely not having the best time of her life right now. She might to have a hysterectomy, and she just lost her job. Things could definitely be better. She still has her dad though. He’s her rock. Things start to look up when her uncle gets her a job at a motorcycle shop. Only problem is the boss is a total jerk, oh and it’s part of a MC. Nothing is as it seems. Especially not her family.

MCs has always been one of my favorite tropes. And this book did not disappoint. But I do wish that we got to see more of the actual MC and what happened in it. I didn’t know that this was a spin-off series, but I was able to follow along just fine. I do want to go back and read the others though. So I can see how Abbie and Temper meet!

Poor Bronte. She was pretty much beaten down through out the entire book. She didn’t let the lose keep her down though, and I really admire her for that. Her relationship with her dad was incredible. It was so sad to see him go.

I feel like there was a lot more to Crow than was seen in this book. It’s probably in the others. I really want to know what he was like! I don’t get why he was so mean to Bronte at first. It’s not like the shop was exactly strictly professional.

Overall this was an amazing book. I definitely recommend it!

Custom Built is the first book in a series by Chantal Fernando and a spin-off of her Knights of Fury series. This was a pretty quick read and I enjoyed it. I really liked all the characters and how they interacted. Thanks to Netgalley for my Arc.

Custom Built is the first of a series, but is also connected to the "Knights of Fury" series so if you are a fan of that series, which has been recently released, than you definitely will want to grab up Custom Built. To be honest I had no clue these two series were connected, and I grabbed it from Netgalley on the cover alone. Yep I am vain but sometimes I get a nice reward and this book was a solid read that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was a bit nervous as it starts out with a "enemies to lovers" type of theme. But it proved to be a wonderful beginning to what I imagine will be an entertaining series here. Crow and Bronte don't really like each other. More Crow is strongly drawn to Bronte and he doesn't understand it, and is the opposite of his easy going nature as she is working for him. But soon something more builds between them. But Bronte's life is in danger but she is about to see the bond these brothers have when their outreach extends to her. I actually had a blast with this book, especially the sexual tension that builds between Bronte and Crow. It proved to be an engaging read that captivates from beginning to end.

This is about the sweetest MC lite story I have ever read. It's so sweet my teeth hurt, lol (not that that is a necessarily a bad thing.) I was excited to hear that this author was starting a new series and one that combined MC club and mechanics because they work so well together. I enjoyed getting to know new club members and get to see old favorites as well. As this is a spin-off series, we get a lot of time with the Knights of Fury members from precious books. The world building was nice and the individual personalities were fun as well.

I enjoyed the romance in this story, though it was way too sweet for my tastes (I like a bit of grit and dirt, especially in a MC story). These two were definitely made for each other. There is quite a lot that happens in this story and as such is fast paced. I did think the flow was a bit off starting at the 50% mark, it was repetitive and the main action was wrapped up by 75% but also too much was added at the end that just drew out the story without really adding anything to it. .I also felt that this story was too clean and simple. There also was not much MC about this story other then the very basics (had patches, rode motorcycles and had a clubhouse).

The emotions, heart, kindness and respect was a major theme throughout this entire story and it leaves me with a nice warm fuzzy feeling. I enjoyed reading this story, it wasn't my favorite from this author but I am still excited to have read it. I think others looking for safe, wholehearted warm stories will enjoy this one. I received an ARC via NetGalley, Carina Press and the author and I am leaving my honest review.

Custom Built is the first book in the all new Fast & Fury Series by Chantal Fernando and it follows the story of Bronte and Crow. Bronte has been having the toughest year. Her health hasn’t been doing well and she’s just lost her job. She could really use some good news. So, when her uncle has the in on a new job for her, she can’t help but jump on it. Little did she know that this opportunity was going to turn her whole world upside down….

Overall, I thought this book was a solid read. I thought the plot was entertaining and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. I really liked Bronte and Crow together. Their banter was fun and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. While they might have butted heads in the beginning, it quickly changed into something more. The chemistry was instant and just oozed off the pages.

I did have some issues with this story. At times, it felt like there was a lot going on. While there certainly wasn’t a dull moment, it felt like it was too much. Also, I feel like I need to mention the drama. Now, I like drama as much as the next person, but in this book, I’m sorry to say it was over the top. Some of it made sense, but the other instances were just drama for the sake of dram and it just didn’t work for me.

Custom Built is fast-paced and entertaining read. The characters draw you into their story and leave readers wanting to know what will happen next. There were some things that I didn’t like about this story, but in the end, I think this was a solid read and I’m glad to have checked it out.

I love a ‘safe’ MC story and this one did not disappoint!
Bronte has recently been given some bad news and then fired from her job which she loved. Thankfully, her uncle helps her land a new job at a motorcycle custom build shop. Crow, her new boss, doesn’t seem to like her. He’s an MC man. A hot MC man.
This story was well written and kept me entertained. You could read this one all on its own - just know you will be missing out on the supporting characters’ back stories.

ARC received for review

I actually think this should be book 4 in the Knights of Fury series. I don't understand why she started a new series. All the peeps from the KOF series make appearances during this one.

I love Crow in KOF, but he started out as a wee bit of a jerk in this book. He overcomes that pretty quick and is the great guy I remember him to be. Bronte has had a sh!tty year, loss on top of loss on top of loss. Crow helps her overcome them all, and she falls for him along the way. I thought it was over, but no there was more and more and finally an epilogue.

I hope Chains is up next.

Bronte is off to a rough start, with her medical issues and losing her job. Through an odd family connection she gets a job at a custom motorcycle shop, even though she has no motorcycle knowledge putting her in a rough spot with her new boss. Crow is a biker with a definite soft side. Even though he starts off on the wrong foot with Bronte he soon becomes the one she counts on as he helps her with some truly devastating issues. This is a soft biker romance, focusing more on the relationship between Bronte and Crow than his MC membership. There are some heartbreaking moments but their strength together is amazing. There’s also a nice amount of heat , a bit of intrigue with an out of left field twist. and plenty of interesting supporting characters many of whom may seem familiar if you’ve read her Knights of Fury MC books. Overall, a nice quick read with a sweet epilogue. 4.5 stars. I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book.

I liked the character of Bronte but yet some of the things she did made me shake my head. Bronte is a good girl. The apple of her father's eye who has hit a rough patch. Luckily her uncle is able to help her out and get her a job. I felt bad for Bronte as the hits kept coming. Luckily she had a support system behind her to help her. The part I couldn't understand was how this good girl thought she could get answers without understanding the players and the game. I get that she wanted answers but yet I don't think she completely understood the target she was putting on her back.

Crow was the perfect book boyfriend. He was gruff and a little standoffish in the beginning but after he got to know Bronte, you could see the gooey inside. He took care of her like nobody's business and when he decides that she is his, nothing stops him from protecting her.

Custom Built slowly pulled me into the love story of Crow and Bronte. I fell in love with Crow. He is amazing. He is an alpha male, so overprotective, but is an amazing human being as well. I love how he is with her. Bronte is this awesome, independent, loving woman, with a fighting spirit. I loved these two and I loved their dynamic. The chemistry they have together leads to some steamy scenes. Crow and Bronte are beautiful together. They gave me all the feels. From where they started to where they ended up with a HEA, was a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed Custom Built and read it in one sitting.
I adore this series and cannot wait for more stories to come.

This was a fantastic read! Crow and Bronte appear to be oil and water until she ventures out of her work life and into a social life. Then, all bets are off and Crow sets about letting Bronte know that not only is she his, she’s also got a new family to help her with her struggles. Their story had drama, mystery, danger, heartbreaking sadness at times, and plenty of hope for the future. And through it all, Crow is there to support and care for Bronte in any way she needs him. Luckily for him, Bronte is a strong woman who is able to care and support him just as much in return.

I didn’t read the Knights of Fury books, but I wasn’t lost at all by starting with this one. If anything, now I want to go back and read the other books just because I can. I’ll be very interested to see where this series leads us next.

So boring and the single POV from an incredibly annoying heroine made this unreadable. DNF at 25%.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This wasn’t for me. There was just too much drama in it, and while I can usually suspend reality to enjoy a book, I need more connection between characters. I also felt like I was missing something by not reading other books by the author.

Good book! I definitely enjoyed reading this one! It had intrigue, action packed, suspense, and it was hot! I only had one little problem, I guess I'm used to Mc books where the guys are kind of jerks lol or very cocky?! The men in the Mc seemed very layed back or Idk how to explain but I just kept thinking " there's no way a real Mc guy would let his woman do that or step aside like they did? " Idk it was a good book maybe just different than I'm used too? But I definitely recommend reading this one! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

It's okay.
Initial animosity between the Hero and heroine is blamed on him being attracted to her.
No intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
The heroine thought he was seeing another woman but it was his sister.
Characters appeared from previous author's series.
HEA.

Bronte gets fired from her job but gets a new one at a Motorcycle Club custom build business. Crow is one of the MC guys and her new boss. He’s pretty surly at first but their attraction can’t be ignored. But soon tragedy strikes, Bronte’s dad is killed and then her best friend when things heat up. Can a love flourish amongst this tragedy?
Lots of twists and turns in the plot. The characters were real and well written. It was plain to see how their love grew and to lose yourself in the tale rather than being aware that you are reading a book. I would recommend this book to my patrons.

This is the first book in the Fast & Fury series which is an offshoot of the Knights of Fury series. So, if you have read the Knights of Fury series you will be happy to see what is happening with the characters from that series. This book is the story of Bronte Pierce whose Uncle gets her a job when she is suddenly unemployed. It is in a custom motorcycle shop and she has no idea about motorcycles, but she is a good admin. The hero of the book is Crow who seems to take an instant dislike to her, but eventually they start canoodling.
Bronte’s life is very topsy turvy and this makes for an interesting read. There is a nice romance with a very supportive hero. I liked the flow of the book and greatly enjoyed the romance between Bronte and Crow. I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy Kristen Ashley’s Chaos series and the Tin Gypsy series by Devney Perry.
