Review: Rhett Redeemed (Knights & Dragons MC #2)

Rhett Redeemed (Knights & Dragons MC #2)

Chantal Fernando

Blurb:

Life is about choices. He had a history of making bad ones.

Ready for a New Start

United with her newly discovered half sister, Constance Wilder finally has a family. She should be happy, but she’s not. Instead, she’s even lonelier, which is why a one-night stand with a sexy biker is just what she needs. A few hours of wild sex won’t just bring her pleasure—it will help her forget.

A Series of Bad Choices

Rhett did what was necessary to step into his role as leader of the Wind Dragons MC, which included cutting ties with the woman he loved. He wouldn’t change it, but that doesn’t make it easier. Thankfully, the beautiful woman across the bar is a welcome distraction. He never expected her to light a spark inside him, leaving him wanting more.

Destined for Disaster

Constance falls hard for Rhett. Not only is she pretty sure he’s her soul mate, but he’s the one person she has connected to in a long time. But when it is revealed that Rhett is her sister’s ex, Constance is faced with losing her newly found family, making happily-ever-after seem damn near impossible.

Review:

  Wow what a story of two people definitely wrong for one another on paper but so obviously destined for one another.  Rhett has been one of those character we rooted for since he was a child and his mother married into the Wind Dragons MC, but we never imagined his path in the club would lead him to presidency and just who his old lady would end up being. Long-time fans of this universe recognize Rhett as the step-son of --- and we watch his painful breakup with Cara in the previous novel as they found their paths diverging.  Now we get to see his side of the story and find out his motivations and I love every second of it.  At the same time we get his love story as he falls in love with the most unlikely woman—Cara’s long-lost sister Constance “Con” Wilder.  Con is just now finding her path into her sister’s life and heart, but she has fallen in love with the sexy and sweet Rhett, neither of them ever realizing the truth of their connection through Cara.  When the facts come to life they have to decide if they can find a way through the winding path of their pasts and to the future they both want so badly or if they will have to give up the epic love they are just finding. I loved every heart wrenching and tear-filled moment of their love story. We went into the story believing that Rhett had become a total ass, cheating on Cara and leaving her high and dry, which pushed her into the arms of the love of her life (see ---), but we finally learn the full story in this book and OMG I loved and hated Rhett in equal portions for what he did.  I cannot deny he made mistakes, but he thought he was protecting the woman he’d loved since he was a kid and giving her a chance at the life she wanted and deserved. That said, watching him with Con we see a totally different side of Rhett, he’s sweet, attentive, loving, and finally finds some peace in the chaos of the changes in his life and I enjoyed watching them find that despite the turmoil that comes from their relationship.  Con has so much going against her, but really none of it is her fault, the circumstances of her life have left her beat down and sadly she has to struggle for every bit of happiness she can find.  I loved her strength, sass, serenity (mostly) and determination to protect those she loved from any drama she might inadvertently bring to their lives, but I wished she could have taken a stand sooner and demanded her own piece of happiness despite others and their hang-ups.  The heat and fire these two create together is irresistible and carries through every moment of their interactions, even when they are hurting one another, but I loved seeing that passion blossom into something deeper.  I am dying for the rest of this series, seeing more of these sexy bikers and the women that bring them to their knees.  Keep the love coming Chantal!
