Chantal Fernando is one of those authors whose every book I pick up , even before reading the blurb. I know no matter what her genres are , she will somehow make me love it. I went crazy over her biker romances a few years ago and her name has been stuck with me since then which is why i requested this arc as soon as I saw it.

The romance in this book is crazy and although it is more of a contemporary romance with a dark edge , there is this intensity to the hero that just pulls you in! Definitely recommending this one to all the dark contemporary romance loving people out there!

Even though this is a cross-over from another series, I had no problems keeping up with the story. Cameron has finally found her dream job and is determined not to eff it up. A night out with her girls is just what she needs, especially meeting Mr. Tall, dark and handsome and having one night of fun. Now, Mr. Tall, dark and handsome turns out to be the new VIP client at work. Cue the facepalm.

I enjoyed this story. Tons of action, chemistry and segxy times.

Cameron Davies designs custom motorcycles at Fast & Fury. Sexy, fierce and determined to be the best at what she does, she takes no prisoners in her approach to life - or love. However, a scorching one-night stand turns out to be a VIP client for the shop. That's when things start to get interesting.

Orion Stenton, the one night stand in question, is rich, powerful, and exudes dangerous. Cam is trying to keep things cool but it's hard to do that when the man is a walking temptation, and ready for a repeat of their first night together.

The stakes are high, both emotionally but also in terms of safety as Cameron's past comes back to haunt her. I like that she spent time in jail, making her tough but also making it hard for her to trust others. Orion is everything she shouldn't want but his determination to have her makes him a compelling character. I do like my messy MCs and these two are a beautiful mess together. A hot, sexy beautiful mess.

Another great book in the Fast & Fury Series. I love how the author has given us strong, independent women at the base of the storylines in series. In Custom Made we have Cameron “Cam” Davies. A woman with a past made from bad choices. Choices that landed her in prison for a short time as a young adult. A past she is working hard to overcome. She is now one of the most sought out custom paint artists in the area. Too bad her love life hasn’t worked as well. She has a habit of dating the wrong types that often get her into trouble. So, she’s sworn off relationships, especially with the bikers that own the garage where she worlds. But the occasional one night stand can’t hurt right? Or can it? What happens when one the best nights of her life, with a guy she meets in a bar, turns out to be the garage's new VIP Client? A man who apparently gave her a fake name, and now wants to make up for it by asking her out on a real date. A man who is also a notorious man throughout their city and not necessarily in a good way.

Will Cam continue to make bad male choices, or is this “bad boy” the right choice? Will her past ways come back to haunt her new life or will she run to save all she holds dear.

Awesome read that I highly recommend grabbing up. And if you haven’t read book 1 of the series, Custom Built, it’s also a great read worth picking up as well (both can be read as standalones).

I love Chantal’s stories so much, they are exciting, and absolutely riveting! I read it in 1 night! I couldn't put it down, I couldn't get enough of the chemistry between the MC’s, and their hard fought HEA was so sweet and happy. I loved the cameos of the Knights of Fury MC and characters from previous books just made perfect

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion !

Cam’s story is a couple years down the line from Custom Built. We see the ramifications still from all that happened in Custom Built inside this book.

Cam has been an enigma from the moment we met her. You never could guess what she was about but this book lays it all out. It’s heartbreaking but shows just how strong she actually is to make it through everything she did.

When Orion arrives on the scene there is instant chemistry for him and Cam. However things aren’t as they seem and Orion has some making up to do. They had no clue how connected they really were until Cam’s past comes back to haunt them both.

The drama gets real with this group and you will be fighting all the way until the end for their HEA to happen.

Cameron left prison determined to make a better life for herself. Knights of Fury MC became her new family. Not only is she a mechanic but an artist creating custom bikes. She is no longer with her abusive ex.
My heart went out to Orion. The poor man couldn't get a break. He's rich and powerful and takes care of his family. He deserves loyalty and trust.
When Cameron's past comes back to haunt her obstacles are thrown in her and Orion's path threatening their relationship.

Chantal is a must read for me and she never disappoints- this may be one of my favorites- the quick dialogue, intriguing plot- and omg those men- I can not wait for the next book!

Custom Made is the second book in the Fast and Fury Series. It was an entertaining read that held my interest until the end. This was Orion and Cam's story and I liked these two right from the start and was rooting for them throughout the story. This opposites attract romance was steamy and drama filled with witty banter among all the characters. I loved the friendship and camaraderie Cam had with the MC family and there were some twists I did not see coming. This was my first Chantal Fernando novel and I enjoyed it.

Orion and Cam were a one night stand that worked. Love that Cam stood up for herself and did not take Orion crap. Loved how tight Orion was with his sisters and mom. Watching Cam and Orion relationship develop as they grew into a couple was well written and showed give and take on both parts.

Cameron Davis is an artist. After spending some time in prison she is starting over in a new town working on motorcycles at the Custom Made shop called Fast and Fury. She is enjoying her life right now. Things seem to be going well for her. When she goes out clubbing with some friends she meets a man that definitely has all her engines revving, lol. After spending the night with him she leaves the next morning and leaves her phone number, but he never calls. And that just pissed her off.

So when the new client arrives that she is doing some designs for… you know it… Guess who 😊

I love this authors books, and this new series is just another winner for me. I loved Cam, she was a total badass and she took no prisoners. Orion definitely was a keeper, no matter that Cam pushed him away he didn’t give up. I loved their interaction with each other, it definitely kept me hooked on their story and it will make you swoon so hard, lol… I cant wait for more on this series, I know it will just get more and more interesting 😊

Sadly I tried to read this, but could not get into it - hopefully, I can read it again soon - maybe in a couple of months. But at the moment it wasn't for me. The characters are a little bland and I couldn't connect with them at all.

Cameron has her career at Fast, designing and creating custom motorcycles. She doesn't have any plans for a man in her life. She ends up at a bar with friends and into a one night stand with gorgeous Orion. A hook up that she will never see again or so she thought that night. Orion is a customer of the shop where Cam works and no matter how she tries to keep it professional the fire between them is explosive. A good read and spinoff from the Knight's of Fury MC series.

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

When perfectly imperfect meets hot and polished... they say opposites attract and I think Cam and Orion are the rule here.

I am LOVING the Fast & Fury series so far. It's a little more laid back in comparison to the mc series but it still holds that edge of dark and forbidden I love so much. Chantal never fails when it comes to her books.

Cam is the perfectly imperfect rough around the edges but sweet in the middle woman who's completely relatable and easy to love. Her past is heartbreaking and inspite of everything she has risen above and made a name for herself in a male dominated industry. Not only that... she has because a master at her craft in more ways that one. Her strength and resilience is something real special but I also loved seeing the more vulnerable sensitive side to her that Orion brought out. She's kick ass and fierce but she's also someone who deserved to be treasured.

Orion is the perfect boyfriend. Not only is a gorgeous specimen... he has the brains and the buck to back his shit up. He's a man that has control of his life and runs his ship with a tight fist but with Cam he softened. It was easy to forget at times the man was dangerous in his own right because he treated Cam like a princess and worked real hard to earn her trust. He's sweet and funny and extra swoon worthy. I also loved how tight he was with his family... that pretty much sealed the deal for me. Despite his perfect persona the man did make his fair share of mistakes but he wasn't afraid to own them either and work hard to right his wrongs. Does it get much better?. Nope.. the man is delicious.

These two had fireworks from the beginning which is why they went from dancing on the dance floor to the horizontal mamba within such a short time. But I must say I really enjoyed how their journey unfolded. I feel like there wasn't to much push and pull between them which I loved. My greatest peeve is unesessary angst and drama and luckily Chantal avoided that here because whilst their was a few bumps in the road... both characters were very upfront with eachother. They just fit so well. He soothed her and she lit a fire in him and for the first time ever made him work for something. The crazy chemistry and sweet connection just felt right between them because despite their very different pasts, they're both perfectly flawed and well suited. There was balance.

Custom Made brings you sweet romancing, crazy hot chemistry and a few jaw dropping surprises to stir things up. I adored the slew of huge personalities that are brought with the side characters and of course it's always a pleasure to see old and much loved faces pop up. As well as seeing some new faces that have me all kinds of curious. This is just a well rounded story.. much like the gift that keeps giving this book has a little of everything to soothe everyone. It's sweet, funny and crazy hot. It's also a little suspenseful with a smudge of action and pinch of heartbreak. I am loving this series and I cannot wait to see what comes.... I have my mind on a specific character I want but we shall see where Chantal takes it next... either way I'm excited.

Fernando has been one of my favorite writers for some time now. With Custom Made, we get that grit with her stories that I have come to love with her words. I love the chemistry between Orion and Cam. I love the twists and the past coming back to bite. A complete one sit read for me as I could not put it down!

Custom Made is the second title in the Fast and Fury series featuring Cameron Davies and Orion Stenton.
Cameron ‘Cam’ is a mechanic and artist who made some mistakes in her youth and spent some time in prison. She’s strong, resilient, sassy, fierce and not afraid to go after what she wants.
Orion is a wealthy, charming, intelligent, and sweet hero. He’s also incredibly powerful, who has some less than reputable ways of making his money and used to getting what he wants.
This pair have a sexy, steamy story with their fair share of hurdles. There are elements of drama, intrigue, and suspense throughout and ties to the Knights of Fury MC series.
Several characters featured in the Knights of Fury series make cameos throughout.

3.5 stars

This was really really good. Much better than the first one. I liked how Orion was protective and charming and a great guy overall. I liked Cam in the first book and she delivered in her book.
I do have to say I didn't like the lack of safe sex talking especially when Orion was basically a "manwhore".
I also have to say that I wish this was a bit more.... darker(?). Maybe is because I'm used to darker MC books that this felt "easy" and light.
Overall a good book for people who's starting to read MC romance.
