Decker's
Dilemma (Knights
& Dragons MC #1)
by Chantal
Fernando
Blurb:
Wind Dragon princess Cara and ex-cop Decker will have to cross
every line to be together—including the law.
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.
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.
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:
I
just love when an author crosses over into a new series but brings beloved
character from previous series with her and Ms. Fernando has given us that
twice over with her new Knights & Dragons MC series! I picked up Chantal
Fernando’s Wind Dragon series by chance when I first got into the whole MC
craze and loved it so much that I devoured the entire series and then the spinoff
series of the Knights of Fury that came after.
Now we get to enjoy a whole new generation of the Wind Dragons as the
kids we met in those books find themselves in some serious jams and falling in
love at the same time. Cara is an MC Princess, the beloved step-daughter of one
of the OG Wind Dragons and she has had it with the direction her life is
taking. A long-term relationship with
the crowned-prince of the MC has gone nowhere fast and she is ready for some
changes in her life when the sudden appearance of a sexy PI changes everything
for her. Seth Decker has finally taken his life by the horns, quitting his old
job as a cop when he became disillusioned and becoming a private investigator,
when his first solo client asks him to find her long-lost half-sister. The job should have been simple, but when
Decker finds the sexy Cara and learns of their connections, feels the pull to
the sweet and sensual woman, he has to decide just how deep into her life he
wants to be drawn. When Cara let’s her
old life go, moving to Decker’s hometown and deciding to give a new life a
chance, Decker decides there is nothing holding him back from making this woman
his, even though he has never wanted to do that with any other woman. But Cara has a new enemy that could very well
end any chance of them having any future at all if Decker and Cara’s family and
friends can’t keep her safe and end the threat in time. This story was fast-paced, sexy as hell, and
filled with the life or death drama that leads people into bonding hard and
fast. Cara was a woman at her wits' end in the relationship department for sure
in the beginning of this story, having been with the same man all of her adult
life, but once she realized they were never meant to be her decisiveness and stubbornness
were awesome to watch. She was sweet,
but sexy, stubborn and outspoken, leaving no one with any doubt what she wanted
from her life once she made a decision. I
loved watching her find her true path and where she belonged, not just
following what others had expected of her all her life, but what she wanted for
herself. She made Decker see that he
could be so much more than he was giving himself credit for too, pulling the
best out of him even as she grew into a better and more whole personality. Decker had a bit of growing up to do to
finally find himself in this story, finally getting where he needed to be professionally
and then just needing to meet the right woman to learn his direction for his
personal needs. Watching him with the
women in his life, be it his sister, his partner, or Cara was an eye-opener because really there just aren’t that many true gentlemen left in the world,
especially ones that are also alpha badasses. His best attributes had to have
been how he made sure that no matter what, even if he knew it would cause
personal trouble for himself, he did whatever he thought was needed to protect
Cara and defeat her enemies for her.
Passion was not a problem for these two, even when the danger was at defcon
levels, and obviously the heat will never die as it hasn’t for any of these
sexy matches. The Dragons and Knights
are all leading us on a merry chase in love and I CANNOT wait for the next
story to see what trouble our crowned-prince Rhett gets himself into and the
woman that finally fully captures him heart and soul. Chantal you astonish me as usual, you are a
goddess!
