Angels & Devils MC #2
Love Betrayal
In a world of monsters, falling in love requires sacrifice.
River
I'm VP of Devils MC, and every decision I make is to protect the Club. I’m the one they call when things go south. That means getting my hands dirty—a lot. Outsiders think I’m a monster. I agreed. Until Bella. She was able to look past the violence and see…me. I never thought love was in the cards, but now she’s mine. I’ll protect her. No matter the cost.
Bella
It was supposed to be a fling—a way for us both to scratch an itch. But River wasn’t what I expected. I’ve seen monsters, and River isn’t one. Our relationship isn’t all rainbows and butterflies—but it’s real. I’d never betray him, even when my ex-boyfriend threatens to destroy me if I don’t. I’m not a damsel in distress. I can solve this problem without sacrificing the man I love.
Even if it costs me everything.

Thank you NetGalley and Harlequin & Carina Press for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book! ❤️
The book sounded like it was going to be very promising. I’ve read a lot of mafia/dark romance books. This is my first biker one in AWHILE. So I was excited!
The first page on my Kindle had the word “fu*k” 5 times. The second page another 3 or so and the third another. Now I’m all for giving off that “bad boy don’t care what people think” personality…but that was absolutely excessive along with the fact that the two MC’s JUST met and in that same moment we’re already getting a penis reference. I need some real connection first before we give reference to her being IT for him and what she does to his man parts 😅.
I read a few more chapters and I just couldn’t get past the rushed storyline, the zero chemistry between River and Bella, and lack of personality in the FMC Bella, besides constantly giving the ultimatum but not following through with her threats to her man. One minute they don’t have good communication and the next they’re pros at communicating their differences. What?
Then we have the ex boyfriend and the plot twist of why he was in a relationship with her at all. And of course he’s the one trying to tear their worlds apart. It just felt a bit rushed and so obvious from the beginning.
Overall I think this was a good effort but a lot more could have been added to make it a really good dark biker romance. It also is a quick read which I liked.

This story definitely needed to be told, even if it wasn’t the one I was expecting. I truly expected we’d be reading Bela and River’s story from the beginning and all the way through their courtship, instead we jump right into a full developed relationship where two people in love are trying to figure out how to deepen their relationship and last in a world that wants to pull them apart. I loved watching the grow, both individually and as a couple because there really is no truer challenge of a love story than two people, in love, and faced with the hard challenges of day-to-day life and the drama of continuous attacks to their future. Bella’s reservations and fears as she tried to get River to truly open himself to her, the fact that she finally came to understand her own lack of openness, and the drama she brought to their relationship was fascinating and watching her find her way through that maze into the woman she needed to be to win those fights was amazing. River has his own qualms about their future, but he never doubts she is his woman, not from the first moment, and he will fight everyone to keep her—even Bella herself. The passion between these two can be somewhat dark at times as their jealousy and fear lead them around, but it never waned and I don’t imagine it ever will. I am really looking forward to the third story in this series and cannot imagine all the excitement that the couple in that one will lead us on in the adventure of their love story to come. Chantal Fernando has a way with her biker romance, but this new bent on old fairy tales with a dark upgrade is beyond awesome!

So excited for the continuation of this series! After the total bombshell that took place in the previous book, I was interested in seeing where Chantal took things, and I was not disappointed in this book! This installment focuses on Julianna’s cousin Bella, and Romeo’s cousin River, who we saw flirting in the previous book, and come to find out they’ve been in an unofficial relationship of sorts since that night as well. The only difference is that River keeps his relationship separate from the club and club business, and Bella isn’t involved in her family’s MC business, but rather in the real estate side of the business for the club, taking Julianna’s old position. There were so many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming in this book – between Julianna’s sister and River’s father, but also with how River really keeps Bella in the dark about who he ”truly is” even though she really does know him aside from his anger and violence in relation to the club and why he is like that. I can’t wait for the next installment and see who is next in these families to fall in love!

Cette fois, nous découvrons l'histoire du vice-président du club des Devils MC, River, et de la meilleure amie (et cousine) de l'héroïne du tome 1, Bella qui se sont plus dès le départ mais qui partaient pour une histoire sans importance mais voilà... après 1 an de relation plus ou moins suivie et intense, il est temps de se poser des questions : or, River est celui qui règle les comptes pour le club et cache qui il est vraiment : de plus, il a perdu son frère Matthew dans le tome précédent et il se sent encore plus en colère. Avec un père violent, il pense avoir hérité de cette violence et même s'il la met au service de son club et ses frères bikers, il n'en demeure pas moins qu'il ne se sent pas légitime pour celle qui lui plait.
Or, Bella n'était pas prévue et pourtant, lorsque l'ex de cette dernière réapparait, il comprend qu'il ressent bien plus que ce qu'il pensait pour la jeune femme. Mais cette dernière pourra-t-elle réellement accepter qui il est vraiment? Mais ce qu'il ne sait pas, c'est que cette dernière est plus forte qu'elle n'y parait et a déjà vu, elle aussi, la violence et la cruauté et pour elle, River n'est pas un homme certes comme les autres, mais il se sert de cette violence pour protéger les siens : arrivera-t-elle à vivre pour autant avec? Mais quand à son tour, elle est menacée, elle va devoir alors accepter de remettre son destin et son avenir entre les mains de River? Les menaces qui planent sur le club sont toujours là malgré l'union des deux clubs jadis rivaux et de leurs héritiers? Qui leur en veut et pourquoi? Alors que Julianna est enceinte, est-ce que Romeo pourra protéger sa femme et le bébé à venir et découvrir qui leur en veut autant et pourquoi? eh bien, vous le découvrirez en lisant ce T2 tout aussi passionnant que le 1 et je l'avoue, j'ai déjà hâte de lire le 3, prévu en décembre.
Outre la romance, ce qui fait la force de ce roman, c'est le romantic suspense qui pousse à tourner les pages pour savoir qui leur en veut.
Comme toujours, l'équilibre est bien dosé.

Book 2 in the Angels and Devils MC series continues so make sure you read the books in order!
After the ending in book 1 I couldn’t wait to discover what happens next and I was pleasantly surprised!
This series continues to get better!
Can MC’s coexist?
That question is put to the test as the high jinx drama of motorcycle life ensues when love is in the air.
Can loyalties to your club be fractured because of that 4 letter word?
Passionate, intense and unending twists I couldn’t get enough of Bella and River’s enthralling story. I am committed to finding out what happens next in this series!
4.5 stars!

Another excellent MC book from this author. I never get tired of her books. The MMC is learning to trust enough to let the FMC into his life which is uglier than he would like her to believe. The FMC learns how deep her loyalty runs. In a world where loyalty is everything, who can you really trust? This spicy MC spicy romance has lovable characters and edge of your seat suspense. HEA included.

Love Betrayal is the second book in the Angels & Devil’s MC Series by Chantal Fernando. River and Bella’s story can be read as a standalone.
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this for Bella. She wasn’t supposed to fall in love with the dangerous man, until one night at the bar changed everything for her. And she found herself falling hopelessly in love with River, the Devil’s MC Enforcer. But you see, Bella isn’t new to the MC lifestyle having grown up around the Angel’s MC and all that.
The first time River saw Bella, he knew his heart was hers for the taking. Now, he’s about to uncover all of his truths to the woman who owns his heart. He just hopes his truths won’t scare her away.
My Thoughts:
River and Bella’s romance tale was a breath of fresh air! I loved seeing these two fall head over heels for one another. Chantal Fernando knows how to deliver a romance! She brought all the swoony vibes and heart eyes to Love Betrayal.
Let’s start with Bella. In order to own a club enforcer’s heart, one must be prepared to hear all the dangerously deadly tales without a judging eye. I loved how Bella brought light to River’s darkness. She was a ray of sunshine in his gray skies. I also loved the fact that Bella wasn’t judgemental and gave good advice to anyone seeking help through a situation.
And then we have, River. There was a lot of processing and soul searching that River had to go through in this novel. The things he learned throughout this novel would have set a sane person back a few years. But this man had a bright light to talk things through with. I loved his connection with Bella. She was the person he could depend on. He laid his darkness at her feet and she didn’t even bat an eyelash. She was his person, and he was hers from start to finish. My heart really loved these two. I felt both of their strengths through this novel.
Now for the reason why I gave this book a four star rating. You see, I loved the relationship aspect, I loved the friendships, and I loved the heart of this story. I felt like this novel was a bit rushed in certain moments. Like River’s arrest…ect. I needed a bit more from the suspense moments.
Overall, I really enjoyed Love Betrayal by Chantal Fernando! Bella and River’s romance was sweet and swoony. I couldn’t get enough from the devotion that came from these two. I can’t see the direction Chantal Fernando will take this series next!

4.25stars--LOVE BETRAYAL is the second instalment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary, adult ANGELS AND DEVILS MC erotic, MC romance series. This is Devils MC VP and enforcer River Montanna, and property manager Bella Callisto’s story line. LOVE BETRAYAL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. River is Romeo’s cousin, and Bella is Juliet’s cousin (LOVE GRUDGE 1)
NOTE: Some of the events of LOVE BETRAYAL cross over with some of the events of book one LOVE GRUDGE.
Told from dual first person perspectives (River and Bella) LOVE BETRAYAL follows several paths including the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. For close to one year, Bella and River have been in a relationship, a relationship that currently has no plans for a future but as Bella is pulled into the world that is our story line hero, Bella reconsiders the direction of their relationship, without a promise or the potential for a happily ever after. When Bella’s past returns seeking something from Bella she is unable to give, the Devils MC ferret out a possible betrayal, a betrayal that hits too close to home. What ensues is the building relationship between Bella and River,and the potential fall-out as the past refuses to let, and the truth will push two people closer together.
The world building focuses on the dysfunctional family dynamics of two families: the Montannas and the Callistos. Years of secrets, lies and betrayals are about to culminate in welcome revelations as well as treachery at the heart of jealousy and retribution.
The relationship between River and Bella is one of immediate attraction but Bella has invested more of her heart than our story line hero. River struggles with his family history, and the possibility of becoming someone he never wants to becomes, as Bella reconsiders her future, going forward. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters including many of whom we met in the previous story line.We are introduced to Bella’s ex Mark, as well as the return of both Bella and River’s extended families.
LOVE BETRAYAL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, jealousy and obsession, power and control, family and forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and edgy; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, dynamic and daring.

*Love Betrayal (Angels & Devils MC Book #2)
*Release date: 6-25-24, Read: 7-4-24
*Author: Chantal Fernando- I've read Love Grudge and gave it 4*
*Format: e-book, 304 pgs.
*Genre: Adult/Women's Fic, MC romance, dark romance
*Tropes: family drama, dual POVs, OM drama
*Look out for: murder, kidnapping, DV (not H/h), parental neglect/abuse
🙏🏾Thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Romance/ Carina Press for this ARC 🧡! I voluntarily give my honest review and all opinions expressed are my own.
*Synopsis: River and Bella start hooking up the same time as Romeo and Julianna but River is the enforcer who kills without emotion while Bella keeps her life more separate from the club. When someone attempts to kill River and Bella's ex boyfriend Mark tries to blackmail her, a bigger plot and long held secret is revealed. Will it ruin River and Bella's chance at love or will it bring them closer?
🎭Characters:
* River-H, the club's enforcer, Romeo's VP
* Bella-h, property manager, took over for cousin Julianna
*Julianna + Romeo- MC presidents of the Devils and Angels MC
*Corey-River's younger sister, raised in the club. She is estranged from their mother Lisa since Matthew.
*Damon-was part of the Angel's MC, loyal to Julianna.
*Rosalind - Julianna's sister who betrayed them with along w/ Romeo's Grandmother Cathy
*Mark-Bella's ex boyfriend
*Lisa-River's mother
*Robert-River's father
🤔My Thoughts: Once again the lies from the past come back in this murder/blackmail plot. River's mother Lisa was abused by his father Robert, losing sight in one eye. River vowed never to be like him, but he's as cold as any killer I've read. Bella's presence softened him a bit, but he doesn't change his ways. Bella made him be honest about his life. What the wife/old lady knows about the club seems to be a constant question in MC romances. Can the woman be trusted and handle it when things get rough, or does she turn a blind eye (no pun intended) ? The women in these books went back and forth, but Bella was solid. I hope we get a book about Corey and Damon, can't wait!

River is a fixer, the man that takes care of the darker parts of the club, the guy that is no stranger to getting his hands dirty when the moment calls for it. Most look at him and think he's borderline crazy, scary even, and definitely very intimidating... well that is except for Bella. She sees a different man, a man she'd like to call her own. But is she really cut out for a life with him?
The pages of Love Betrayal hold a story of a man who has always thought he wasn't meant for love, a man who prefers the single life, and no attachments. Then an angel named Bella stumbled into his life and she changed everything. She was supposed to be a one time thing, but one taste and he knew that'd never be enough. She was meant to be his, and no one was going to take her away. But someone else is trying to have a say in that fact, a very dangerous someone, and River plans on silencing him once and for all.
Once again this author has created a gritty, mildly dark, and uber steamy love story that is so easy to get lost between the pages of, her MC romances are truly incomparable. Her writing pulls you in and doesn't let go, to the point that you become obsessed and have to finish it in one sitting. I truly enjoyed this newest offering in the Angels and Devils MC series, it's captivating words kept my eyes glued to the pages the whole way through! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

I love books where the couple are already a couple when the story starts, where one of them isn't happy with the way things are and wants it to either move forward or call it off, and that's exactly how this one starts. There were aspects to River and Bella's story that I really enjoyed, but overall it felt like most of their internal conflict as a couple was resolved fairly easily with little angst early on. The mystery and suspense with the Bella's ex-boyfriend was intriguing, but I really preferred if the angst in this one had come from River and Bella as they try to work through their relationship. Bella felt a little out of place in some ways because she grew up in this world, is second to her MC's head, but then seems completely surprised by some of what River does and who he is. That felt a bit unbelievable at times.
The way the other culprit involved in the mystery got handled felt like really poor decision making on the part of the MC heads who are supposed to be so powerful and in control and yet their handling of things led to what was a completely predictable situation at the end. Even though I often enjoy aspects of the way the characters and relationships are written in this author's books, this one was trickier for me. Giving this one 3.5 stars.

This is shaping up to be an excellent series! We have family. Friends. Love. Anger. Jealousy. Serious heat. Danger. Secrets that come tumbling out. And a truly unhinged person or two just to make it interesting.
River and Bella are perfectly matched and they also know how to communicate when things get hairy, so they’re quite the relationship goal already. They don’t hold back when asked the hard questions. They don’t keep secrets from each other. And they don’t back down when anyone steps to them. At all. They support each other and their family every step of the way, and Bella’s also instrumental in proving that Corey isn’t a child anymore.
Even with the drama that swirls around this bunch, this doesn’t feel like it’s over the top. Instead, it’s got me wanting more. I want answers and Corey’s story and probably a few others. I want someone served what they deserve. And I want it all now!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the author)…
This is River (Romeo’s cousin) and Bella’s (Julianna’s cousin) story.
I really couldn’t wait to read this book since we met these two in Love Grudge, they already had a little sizzle between them. Then we learn they had a secret thing going on and I needed to know more about these two.
This book followed a different pattern in that Bella and River are already in an established relationship and throughout the book they are working on fixing their issues. I am so used to reading the beginning of a relationship and getting to see the start that I rarely get to see the story flow in this particular progression.
I think they might be my favorite couple so far because of how they support each other and don’t lie to each other, they do what is necessary to ensure their relationship, their family and their friends thrive.
More review to come.

Love Betrayal is set in the world of the MC and is filled with secrets and betrayals that will either make the club stronger or weaken them. The Angels and Devils MC are living a new life with new leadership, and everyone is trying to find their place in the new MC. As the Enforcer of the MC, River tries to keep everyone safe and in doing so he thinks he shouldn’t receive happiness because of the darkness he carries. Being with Bella is one of the best things in his world but he doesn’t think he deserves her. Bella lives in the MC world but has never witnessed the darkness it entails until she gets a glimpse of River’s dark tendencies. Their story is about loving that one person no matter what because you know who they are on the inside. They have the greatest chemistry and I love their intensity when they are on the page. All the betrayal and lies that are in between the pages makes for a great story and you will not be disappointed when you read it.
I received an Advanced Review Copy and this is my honest review.

4 1/2 STARS!
Raw, gritty and sensuous! The second book in Chantal Fernando's Angels and Demons MC series picks up soon after book one and the main characters this time around are cousins to Romeo and Julianna who we fell in love with in the first book. River and Bella are equally intriguing and easy to like. He's rough around the edges but willing to learn what she needs when they agree their fling has come to mean too much to them to be anything less than forever. I like the realness in them letting each other see the truth over time and I enjoyed their connection. I felt like there were too many flames left dangling in the fire to make it feel totally wrapped up and I'm sure some of that is intentional to lead into another book for the series, but I felt a little was lacking in the deliverance of a complete story. I do love this world and will happily come back time and time again!

I loved this one!
I’ll admit I was a little nervous since I had a hard time getting into the last story in this series, but this one did not disappoint!
River and Bella met when their best friends (also cousins) got together in a bar. They started off casual but have now been together over a year and Bella wants to make it more official. She wants to know it is going somewhere unlike with her ex. Next thing you know she’s moved in with him. 🤣
You’ll see what I mean when you read it.
I enjoyed the chemistry between these two characters and I felt the story progressed naturally and didn’t feel rushed.

River and Bella ♥️
This book was so Good! The romance and suspense make this a gripping page-turner.
It was thrilling to read the apparent reasons so many characters are the way they are, but it left me wondering what their real motives are. I love that feeling when a story keeps you guessing what's going to happen.
I love that the crazy drama in this story is with everyone else but not between River and Bella. Even though they start casually they are devoted to each other right from the start and conquer everything together. It's so refreshing to read. I love the family dynamics and the way these two MCs can coexist... Or can they????
We shall see.

Chantal Fernando, never disappoints when it comes to her MC romances. She is always my one click buy. This new series has me glued to the pages, wish these stories were longer. This is the second book, it can be read as a stand alone-but more enjoyable if read in order. This one is about River and Bella, they meet through Romeo and Julianna. River doesn’t date, that’s until he meets Bella; and boy does he fall hard. Except he wants to keep it casual until Bella pushes. All I can say is let the games begin!! What starts out light and easy, gets very complicated very fast. Then you throw in crazy family members and you have the perfect MC story.

I was glad to get Bella and River's story. I knew theirs would be a complicated relationship - - especially with River's job as club enforcer. However, my imagination didn't have a clue just how rough things might get for them. It was also great fun to see Juliana and Romeo and to see their relationship growing and blossoming.
We were given more insight in this book into the inner working of the clubs and the families. It was another good read. I really enjoy reading the books from this world. and look forward to the next one.
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

Chantal does what she does best, give us the world of bikers who both a Hero & Villain. River is more Villain but you can't ignore his deep sense of love & loyalty. Bella is a woman who gets it. You enjoy the characters that make up this family. Nobody is prefect, but I love that. No unnecessary angst just to prolong things. Everything had its place & purpose. Romance, chemistry, danger, love, banter & more! Read it!

Great story, I loved the story and how it felt like there were two story lines in the book. I feel like it can make the book more entertaining and have at least one resolution before the book ends. The characters felt relatable, and some of the decisions made felt very much like real life scenarios. My only complaint was that there were too many current “trendy/viral” moments in the book, which I feel makes it age quickly. Overall though it was a very good book. #arcread

If you are interested in instant relationships, then this might be a good book for you. It’s definitely was not for me. The characters were so shallow, absolutely no depth to the relationship at all, and because of that the story was bone dry to me, I’m sad to say. Characters are the foundation of a good story, and they did not do it for me.

I really enjoyed River and Bella’s story - it was such a great addition to this MC series.
I was intrigued by these two after meeting them in book one. You get plenty of action, plot twists and the chemistry Chantal’s stories are known for. I’m looking forward to more books in this MC world.

River and Bella have a love relationship that is explosive and full of darkness at times. The two have their own demons individually as well as in their relationship. A read that will lead you on a merry chase.
