Decker’s Dilemma by Chantal Fernando | Book Review

Apr. 20, 2022

I am a huge Chantal Fernando fan so anytime she has a new book it always makes it to my to be read pile. Even when it takes me a while to get to it. when she brings together two clubs and characters I enjoyed it makes me all the happier.

Decker’s Dilemma by Chantal Fernando | Book Reviewfive-stars
Decker's Dilemma by Chantal Fernando
Series: Knights & Dragons MC #1
Genres: MC Romance

The Knights of Fury and the Wind Dragons MCs come together in New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando’s gritty new series.

Wind Dragon princess Cara and ex-cop Decker will have to cross every line to be together—including the law.

At a Turning Point

It was a typical PI gig: track down the client’s newly discovered half sister. For ex-cop Seth Decker, finding Cara Ward was the easy part. Walking away from the sexy schoolteacher is going to be a whole different story.

At a Crossroads

Cara thought she had the road ahead all mapped out—she’d be a biker’s old lady, straddling a Harley behind the man she fell for in her teens. But she’s all grown up. And while the Wind Dragons will always be family, Cara wants something more, something for herself. Decker may not be a biker, but that means his woman will always come first.

Caught in the Cross Fire

Once an MC princess, always an MC princess, though. When Cara’s connection to the Wind Dragons puts her in the line of fire from a gang out for revenge, Decker realizes the safest place for her is by his side. After all, there’s nothing he won’t do to protect the woman he loves. Even if it means crossing the line of the law he once swore to uphold.

Review


If you are new to the Knights and Dragons world, let me tell you that you won’t be lost. This is the first book of that series, but it does bring together two clubs from the previous series and some of the characters from them. There is more than enough background here to have never read any of the other series, though, which, in my opinion, is the best way to start a new series. Good lord, could I say series one more time? This is the story of Decker and Cara, and while I thought she would end up with someone different, I’m glad she ended up with Decker. 

A former cop turned private investigator, Decker’s first case leads him to Cara, who is a high school teacher. Of course, she is also the daughter of the former Wind Dragons president. I mean, talk about awkward! She is in a relationship with Rhett, who I thought she would end up with. However, Rhett is more than a bit of a douche. I was actually glad that this relationship ended. My hope is that he is being set up to become a better man down the line. 

You just can’t go wrong with a Chantal Fernando book, honestly. I love everything she writes, and this one was just as wonderful as all of the rest. I will say there were a couple of moments that seemed a little forced, but they were easy to overlook. All in all, this was a great read!

five-stars

CAN YOU KEEP HER SUPERNATURAL SECRET? Moon of Secr CAN YOU KEEP HER SUPERNATURAL SECRET?
Moon of Secrets by Brenda Trim and Tia Didmon is now live!!
 
https://geni.us/MoonofSecrets
 
To stop the darkness, I must walk among the enemy
 
Going undercover in a rival wolf pack wasn't part of the plan, but it's the only way to uncover their true motives. With a false identity and a carefully spun lie, I slip into their hidden community, only to learn the truth is far more dangerous than I imagined.
 
These wolves aren't evil. They're being used. Manipulated by an ancient entity that feeds on shifter energy, one bent on harnessing enough power to permanently darken the moon. If it succeeds, every wolf shifter will gain unstoppable strength, at the cost of our humanity.
 
As suspicion sharpens around me, I lean on Eve's spells to mask my identity and Salima's guidance to reach my allies on the outside. Time is running out, the lunar ritual draws near, and I'm walking a razor's edge between exposure and survival.
 
Because saving the city isn't enough this time. I have to save them, even if they tear me apart for the truth.
 
Find out what lurks in the shadows of Ravenholde by reading Moon of Secrets, the Paranormal Women's Fiction series readers are comparing to Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, and Victoria Dannan.

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.
If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run
into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a
different, more satisfying way.
I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.
Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.
I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where
Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.
And I almost died because of it.
After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in
love with him all over again.
And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.
I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.
Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t
falter.
I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.
