Ghost (Serpents of Chaos MC #5)
Chantal Fernando

Blurb:

Everyone warned me away from Ghost, but I saw something in him that they didn't.

Or so I thought.

When I surprise him at the Serpents of Chaos Clubhouse, the fairy tale I'd created in my head disappears in front of my eyes.

I learn the hard way that the club always comes first.

But when his past collides with his present, I'm the one caught in the crossfire.

Ghost is the most feared, unhinged man in the MC.

And I'm the one that has him on his knees.

Review:

Well, we finally get to learn the whole story, and it’s an explosive one. In book four, we got glimpses of Ghost and Xanthe’s story and knew that it was going to be a rollercoaster, but I didn’t think I would enjoy it quite this much. Chantal Fernando is one of those authors I stumbled across years ago and I have loved her MC stories and really everything I’ve read by her ever since, but this new series is certainly heading in interesting directions. Between one-night stands, childhood reunions, babies and long-lost loves, this MC just keeps getting more and more interesting. I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy Ghost’s story because honestly, he seems so dark and intense in previous novels, but the more we learned about the past that created that darkness the more I came to understand and love him—even when he was way overboard with his protectiveness of Xanthe. Watching him find the courage to bear his heart and allow her to see that darkness was kind of painful, but once he began to understand that she wouldn’t run for the hills at every little spook, he started to trust her enough to offer his love. Xanthe was a wonderful dichotomy of sweet and spicy, hiding her own mysterious side from her friends and only letting down her hair (so to speak) in the arms of the man she trusted with her secrets. The moments when they both made mistakes, causing miscommunications and separations, were hard to take, but I was ever hopeful their love and passion would allow them to overcome their own stupidity. I was thrilled they found a way to build their bridges and come together to build their lives. I am looking forward to seeing them in future stories as more of Ghost’s brothers fall to cupid and lose their hearts and souls, probably most unexpectedly, to women that will challenge and question them at every turn to make them earn their way into their hearts.
