Romantic Suspense published by Carina Press 22 Feb 22
To be honest, I thought this was a paranormal romance based on the name of the Motorcycle Club involved in this book. That is why I started reading it, because PRs are my jam, but it turns out this book is just a good romance book.
I could tell I like Ms. Fernando right away. She is really good at details. I’m a stickler for background info. I need to see the whole story, and this author fills that in well. It’s a slow buildup and it took me a little while to truly invest, but once I did, the book was hard to put down. The characters the story wraps around are Decker and Cara. The supporting characters give a little more insight to the two of them and their personalities by association.
Decker is an ex-cop turned private investigator. His story starts with an explanation as to why he left the PD to become a PI. Then his first case leads him to Cara.
Cara is a high school teacher and daughter of an ex-president of their local motorcycle club (or MC). She grew up in the biker gang lifestyle but chose a different path for herself. Her story starts in a sad relationship with Rhett, a man who is soon to be president of the MC she grew up in. Unlike her father, who put his family first, Rhett puts the MC first, along with open infidelity. The end of that relationship is a long time coming, and right before it ends, cue the hot ex-cop Decker.
Cara and Decker get to know each other through a series of events that include Cara as the center of attention of a rival gang. She is their target because of the ex-boyfriend, and the funny part is the ex doesn’t want to let her go, but his actions drive her straight into Decker’s arms. Their relationship is fire from the gate while they navigate obstacle after obstacle. They are cute, awkward, and sweet. This one is definitely worth the read.
There are some moments in the book that seem a little corny, you know the moments that seem a little unbelievable or forced, which is a pet peeve of mine, but it did not deter from the story line. I still enjoyed the book and the ensuing romance within. If you’re into heroines who can take care of themselves and heroes who want to worship them, then this is your book.
Grade: B
Summary:
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.
