New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando delivers the sexy third installment in her Knights and Dragons motorcycle club series.

He was everything she didn't want and exactly what she needed.

She refuses to date him.

The daughter of the infamous Rake from the Wind Dragons MC, lawyer Natalie Ward knows all too well the problems that come with getting involved with a biker. That’s not for her—she’ll stick to suits over leather. And nothing will change her mind, especially not a sexy, built-like-a-Greek-god biker that rides for the Knights of Fury, another MC.

He loves a challenge.

Atlas is on a manhunt to find a rival gang leader and the last thing he needs is a distraction. But when he runs into Natalie at a bar with all her strength and beauty wrapped in a power suit, he can’t look away. He wants to forget her and running into her at every corner in town doesn’t make it easier. Being with her is impossible, but it’s the only thing that makes sense.

Never…say never.

When Atlas helps her get out of a difficult situation, Natalie can no longer ignore their growing attraction. But when a common enemy of both their clubs becomes a client at her law firm, she finds herself pulled into the very world she’s sought to avoid…

I've been a fan of Chantal Fernando for years and I've enjoyed all of her stories. So it kills me to rate this one so low but I just didn't enjoy it much. The romance between Atlas and Natalie felt very bland and at times was shoved to the background by things going on with the club. Natalie's change from not wanting a biker to being all in with Atlas was a super fast change that didn't have and lead up at all. It was just a sudden realization for her out of nowhere. At the same time their romance was lacking the drama with the Club also felt underdeveloped and ended up feeling out of place every time it was mentioned. There just wasn't a good blend of storylines in my opinion.

Add to that this had an ending that I really really hated. And not only because of what happened (though I despised that and think it was out of place for this series) but the fact that after such an emotional scene the book then skips a month. A month of time where Atlas and Natalie aren't even together, we get to see no emotions or scenes to know how they're dealing with certain events, and then all of the sudden the character that left is back, they're together and everything quickly becomes fine, and then the story is over. There was a little more than that but nothing that held my attention and this was after the 80% mark so nothing that took up much page time.

Overall, I'm still a fan of this author and I'm excited to see what she'll do next but this book wasn't for me.

Copy received via Netgalley for an honest review

Aaaah, where to start? How about with saying there are very few MC genre authors that I still read, and Chantal Fernando is right at the top of them.

I am loving this next gen, Knights and Dragons series, love seeing the OG Wind Dragons watching their kids all grown up and having kids of their own.

Natalie has chosen a path that takes her well away from the clubhouse, but still she can't escape it, or the men involved.

And then there is Atlas. Wow, do I like this man. And so does our Natalie.

Things do carry over a bit from the previous two book in the Knights and Dragons, but you could dive in with this book, and whilst you might miss some things, you are still going to enjoy it.

I hope we get many more MC books from Ms Fernando.

Answering Atlas was the third book in the Knights and Dragons MC by Chantal Fernando. This series was best read in order, although it wasn’t necessary to have read the original series first.

I thoroughly enjoyed Answering Atlas - as well as all of Fernando’s MC series. She provides an interesting suspense conflict that threads through the series while highlighting the specific main character for that specific book. Answering Atlas was no exception. And as expected not only did I enjoy the storyline, I enjoyed the characters: Atlas and Natalie. They were introduced separately in previous books of the series as siblings or MC brothers. And Fernando also included the secondary characters that we’ve come to love from both series. Kudos to Fernando, another exceptional book!

As much as I loved this book, I’m struggling with some of the loss and pain that was experienced. It was part of the writing - so I’m not struggling with style, errors, development etc - the author writes very well and didn’t do anything wrong. It’s more kudos to the author because it was emotional and I’m still thinking about it a day after I read it. But I still can’t help but wish the direction had been different. Again, nothing negative about the book - I’m just still feeling the pain as if it was real and not fiction. 😀

All in all, another success for Fernando!

This review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review.

Introduction
Answering Atlas is the third installment in the series and this is where we get Atlas' story. This book was just as charming as other MC romance that I have read from this author. I absolutely adored this one, it had such a cute flair to it. And its not dark MC or anything, so most contemporary readers will get a kick out of this one. There is something so well balanced in how Chantal Fernando writes her books, and Answering Atlas is no different. The romance was delightful and had me highly entertained all the way through. If you love fun angst, then Answering Atlas needs to be on your list.

The Main Protagonists
The Hero: Atlas
-Biker
-Twin
-Game Player
-Charming
-Sexy
The Heroine: Natalie
-Lawyer
-Driven
-Wants to date someone outside of the MC world
-Loves her family

Summary
It sets of with Natalie Ward, who is the daughter of the prez of the Wind Dragons MC. She has always been the serious one out of the family and has been wanting an identity outside of the MC world. She wants to maintain her own independence. As much as she loves her family, she wants something more from her life. Then drops in the bad boy Atlas, who is sexy and charming and makes her smile even though she wants to battle him for wits. As Atlas and Natalie work through their sexual tension and witty banter, Atlas is looking for thier enemy who has been attacking the mutual MC's and is a dangerous one. But will Natalie's career be battled with her love of Atlas and her family and put them all at risk?

My Outlook
I absolutely had a blast with this installment. Chantal Fernando is such a delight to read, and every time I pick up one of her books, it just brings a smile to my face. I couldn't seem to get enough of the angst in this one. It was so WELL DONE! And I am super picky about angst, but in this book, it was so delightful. I just couldn't seem to get enough of it. I also was so drawn into their bantering, the whole them denying their attraction and learning to be honest with each other. I do like that the hero pushed the heroine's buttons and made her reflect on herself in a very real way. I was laughing my head off through this book because of how they engaged with each other, and that is not a common experience for me, but Fernando really balanced out the humor and sexual tension so well in this one.

I really wasn't a fan with the ending though and the outcome of the "serial plot". I won't spoil what it is but It was a struggle to read and I was hoping that there would be a book for this character that is lost.

Overall View
Answering Atlas was such an endearing book and I just wanted more of it. There is a great plot line, some real lessons learns, a gravitating romance that immediately captivates the reader, and builds into a beautiful story to cheer on!

Cover: 4/5
Hero: 4/5
Heroine: 3.5/5

I received an ARC for Answering Atlas. This was my first book from this author. WOW! I loved it. The dynamic between Atlas and Natalie is fantastic. It is so refreshing to read a book where the relationship is mature and nontoxic. I love me a toxic love every now and then but this story was fantastic. I was invested in the storyline the whole time. I love that it is a standalone and wrapped up nicely!

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads, so here is my review.
Natalie grew up in the clubhouse and knew she didn't want that life so she went to law school. Now she is a lawyer working for one of the top law firms. When she meets a guy at a bar, she knows she doesn't want anything from him. So the next day she saw who she thought was the same guy and it turned out to be his brother.
Atlas has gotten confused with his twin Aries many times. So it was no surprise when Natalie thought he was Aries. But when she refuses to date him because he was in the MC, he is okay with that until he finds out she grew up in an MC. So now he has to find out what the deal is and why she feels that way.
The chemistry is there just under the surface between Natalie and Atlas, neither wants to admit it. He has club business and wants to forget about her but she keeps turning up and he keeps her on his mind. Atlas' MC, Knights of Fury, and Natalie's father Rafe's Wind Dragons MC are rivals and will help each other when needed. When Natalie gets a client that is a common enemy of both MCs, she is pulled into the world she tried to avoid. Can they work together to protect her and keep her safe? Will she realize that Atlas is exactly what she needs?
I enjoyed this story as I have the other in this series and the other series connected to it. It is filled with family, friends, MC brothers, loyalty, trust, pain, love, and loss. I found that once I started reading I didn't want to put it down, I enjoyed the banter between Natalie, Atlas, Aries, and all of the club's members. I can't wait for the next one.

Depuis que j'ai découvert les "Wind Dragons" de Chantal Fernando, il y a quelques années, dans la Collection Eden, je suis l'auteure et lis avec plaisir ses nouvelles parutions, en anglais. J'ai bien sûr fini la série originelle et depuis, il y a eu plusieurs trilogies qui se déroulent après : ici, nous sommes dans le dernier tome de celle intitulée "Knights & Dragons MC" puisque elle met en scène les clubs de bikers des Knights of Fury, menés par "Temper" et celui des "Wind Dragons" dont le président est désormais "Rhett", le jeune garçon rencontré dans le tome 4 sur Rake. Or, Rhett a des ennuis depuis le tome 1 et il a rompu avec son amour de toujours, Cara, afin de la protéger mais est depuis tombé amoureux de la demi-sœur de celle-ci et attend un enfant avec elle Con. travaille pour les Knights of Fury donc, autant vous dire, qu'ils sont tous très liés. Mais la menace est toujours là et Rhett est toujours menacé : les deux clubs ont passé un accord et essaie neutraliser l'homme qui menace leurs deux clubs. Dans le tome précédent, les choses ont beaucoup avancé (je n'en dis pas plus) et Aries et Atlas, les jumeaux des Knights, ont découvert que leur demi-frère avec un lien avec cet homme et qu'il devait se cacher.
Atlas va alors rencontrer Nathalie, la fille de Rake et Bailey, devenue adulte (on la découvre à la fin du 4) et qui est devenue avocate : bien qu'elle cherche à s'éloigner du monde des bikers et souhaite un homme BCBG, en costume et surtout avec une vie plus calme, elle va craquer pour le biker, malgré un début houleux. Mais elle aussi a ses propres combats à mener pour être associée dans son cabinet et lorsqu'on lui confie le dossier de l'ennemi juré des deux clubs, elle est déchirée entre son histoire naissante et sa carrière : quelle décision va-t-elle prendre? Comment Atlas, sa famille et leurs amis vont-ils réagir en découvrant qu'elle doit représenter leur ennemi, celui qui cherche toujours à tuer son frère de coeur, Rhett? eh bien vous le saurez en lisant ce dernier tome de la série qui est plus que réussi tant la romance est bien faite mais déchirant par d'autres aspects. Franchement, je ne m'attendais pas à ça et ai été triste de lire certains passages et je suis sûre que vous le serez autant. Bref, malgré tout, je ne suis pas prête à laisser partir ces deux clubs et espère qu'on les retrouvera, ainsi que les Ravens.
Vous pouvez retrouver les chroniques des deux premiers tomes des "Knights & Fury" sur le blog ainsi que les trilogies précédentes, ayant un lien avec ces deux clubs.

Natalie want to clean cut guy in a suit, not the hot biker Atlas. But the heart wants, what the heart wants and that is Atlas and Natalie being together. Fernando gives all the emotions with this couple from laughter to why with tears streaming down my face. This gives a great peek of into the inner workings of the MC plus seem past couples from other books makes me happy.

ANSWERING ATLAS is the third instalment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary adult KNIGHTS AND DRAGONS MC romance series-the combination of the author’s WIND DRAGONS MC , KNIGHTS OF FURY MC and FAST AND FURY series. This is attorney Natalie Ward, and Knights of Fury member Atlas’ story line. ANSWERING ATLAS can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order. Natalie is the daughter of Rake and Bailey (Rake’s Redemption/Wind Dragon 5), and sister of Cara (Decker’s Dilemma /Knights and Dragons 1) .

NOTE: The KNIGHTS AND DRAGONS MC focuses on two MCs -The Wind Dragons and the Knights of Fury, therefore many of the current scenarios and situations cross over with both series, as well as the author’s Fast and Fury series.Atlas and his twin brother Aries own and work for Fast and Fury.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Atlas and Natalie) ANSWERING ATLAS continues to focus on the search for the former leader of the Forgotten Children aka FC, a man who is determined to take down the Wind Dragons MC for the death of his only son. Natalie Ward is an attorney, the daughter of Wind Dragon MC’s Rake and Bailey, and as such our heroine struggles to keep her distance from the criminal element of her blood and adopted families but meeting Atlas pulls Natalie into the life from which she wanted nothing to do, a life that is about to threaten the people she loves, and destroy the heart of the man with whom she trying to avoid. Atlas and his ‘brothers’ never thought they would work together with the Wind Dragons MC but a common enemy has targeted both MCs in his effort to take down the man he blames for killing his son but no one ever expected a possible betrayal from within, a betrayal that threatens everyone involved. Natalie struggles with her attraction to our story line hero, an attraction to a man whose lifestyle she is no longer involved, and her career as a defence attorney is about to cross an indivisible line with both MCs. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Natalie and Atlas, and the fall-out as death and destruction not only break Atlas, the Knights of Fury but threaten the destruction of the Wind Dragons MC as well.

The relationship between Atlas and Natalie begins acrimoniously, and is tempestuous at best. Natalie comes across as a snob; too good for the likes of the MC and Atlas, and ultimately his brother Aries, but a snobbery based in experience and love. Her attitude pushes all of Atlas’ proverbial buttons until the truth reveals a blood connection to the Wind Dragons MC, and the lifestyle she has lived most of her life. Atlas‘ brother Aries is the first to ‘hit on’ our story line heroine but as identical twins, Natalie had no idea she was dealing with a different person. Atlas knew Natalie was the woman that called to his heart but the death of two members of the Knights of Fury MC threaten to destroy our hero, breaking both Atlas and Natalie’s heart and soul in the process. The $ex scenes are passionate but mostly implied.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and familiar secondary and supporting characters from all three interconnected series-The Wind Dragons MC, Knights of Fury MC, and the Fast and Fury auto body shop.The imminent break down of the Wind Dragons MC see the possibility of merging with the Knights of Fury, and the murder of two of their own, threatens the stability of everyone involved.

ANSWERING ATLAS is the story of betrayal and vengeance, family and relationships, love and loss, acceptance and moving on. The fast paced premise is heart breaking and intriguing; the romance is seductive; the characters are dynamic and charismatic.

Mary Jo – ☆☆☆☆
A girl and biker meet at a bar, the girl says no thanks to the offered drink and the biker walks away. Leaving, the girl sees said biker about to hook up with not one but two other women. Shaking her head, the girl reiterates to herself that bikers are not for her.

Natalie grew up as the daughter of the Wind Dragons’ president, Rake. She's lived that life and she definitely does not want to live it again. She wants to date a man who lives the white-collar life, where they are not constantly in danger from unknown entities or where her life would be centered around MC life.

Atlas is both fascinated with Natalie and upset at her because of her judgmental attitude. The first moment she met him, she pegged him as just "another biker" without really noticing what made him tick. Unable to help himself, he puts himself in her path again and again.

As Natalie and Atlas begin to really get to know each other, outside forces work to tear them apart. A foe from the past threatens Atlas's brother and in turn, the Wind Dragons and Knights of Fury.

Love and heartache is ultimately what this story is about and how love can overcome the worst tragedy of all.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the author)...

3.75/4 stars

This is Natalie (Rake’s daughter, from Wind Dragons) and Atlas’s (Knights of Fury) book.

I enjoyed the relationship journey between Atlas and Natalie especially since it didn’t start off so kind. Natalie has a preference of what kind of man she wants and Atlas feels offended, but things quickly change for these two. Atlas was just perfect for Natalie and thankfully we didn’t have to wait too long for that to be shown.

Marko is still on the loose and things get more complicated. I was bit worried how this was going to play out, would this finally be resolved or will be prolonged into another book? However, I did not expect what would unfold both in Atlas’ personal life and Natalie’s professional life. This story really hit me hard because we lose a major character and it downright broke my heart.

Also, I was a bit disappointed in our second generation Wind Dragons, I mean come on their parents had way better action plans. While I do love all of Chantal’s MCs, the Wind Dragons are my personal favorites and I feel like none of the children learned any life saving skills from their parents, aunts, uncles and fellow members. Which makes the ending both shocking also not so much.

I will say the book did focus more on the Marko situation than Atlas and Natalie, their romance did move a bit swiftly.

I’m not sure if there will be anymore books in this series with the way this book ended. I was honestly shocked about the direction this book took, I would have never guessed that Rhett would make that decision.

Perhaps an end of an era?

We get to see some of our favorite characters from the Wind Dragons MC, Knights of Fury and Jaxon from Seducing the Defendant.
























Not a spoiler just a final thought on this couple:



Honestly after everything Cara and Rhett went through, the reason they broke up; with this book it basically didn’t have to happen.

I just realized Rhett took over the MC at a young age with less experience as the previous Presidents. Sin was with the MC for years as the VP before he took over in his late twenties, I believe. Then Arrow took over years later when Sin stepped down and Arrow was definitely in his 30s by then. Did they give Rhett too much responsibility too soon?

As usual I’ve picked up a book mid-series and for the first couple of chapters I really didn’t have a clue as to who was who. It got better but when books refer to what has gone on in a previous book it can be tricky to get up to speed.

The gist is the two MCs the Knights of Fury and the Wind Dragons have an unusual camaraderie. The daughter of the Wind Dragons president Natalie is a lawyer and vows not to fall for a man in the MC, until she meets Atlas the VP of the Knights of Fury. There is an instant attraction, tinged with some contempt and challenge - both thinking the other judgmental for their views about the other.

There’s an ever present and shared threat to both MC’s which sees a little chaos and mayhem take place. And a douche work colleague of Natalie’s who won’t take no for an answer makes a right nuisance of himself. The problem is, he’s the type Natalie was saying she preferred.

Anyway, for mind this book was less edgy that some other MC romances I’ve read and probably not as hardcore in the romance sense. Definitely not as graphic. Later in the book there is the chaos and big finale but it’s pretty quick. There’s heaps of characters to keep track of and when you don’t know the backstory it can be a little tricky. The romance is nice - with a fair bit occurring off the page, and there’s alot of focus on both characters being unlike what you’d expect given their stations in life. Atlas is, altogether a sweetheart and I really struggled to see him as the next in line president with all that it entails. But maybe I missed some of that not reading th previous books? I’m not sure.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me this book to read through netgalley. I’ll look up the rest of the earlier books now as I think these are second generation characters as well

If I see a Chantal Fernando cover on Netgalley, I know I’m in for a fast and bumpy ride. And although you can read the stories as a standalone, I would recommend that you read the different, interrelated series. Because it will give you so much more insight into the MC dynamics. This story is about Natalie, Cara’s sister. Having been brought up in the MC world, she has chosen to leave that part of her life behind. Enter Atlas, being taken into the MC family when he lost his family. So, needless to say: he is living and loving the ma world. When Natalie and Atlas’ paths cross, they can’t deny the sparks flying between them….. until Natalie finds out, Atlas is from a me. Atlas is convinced you can take a girl from the MC, but you can’t take the MC out of the girl. So, he is determined to show Natalie that they are perfect for each other. However, there is still the issue with the assassinations on Atlas’ MC members So, he can’t afford the distractions.

When Natalie’s new world collides with her me youth, she has to make a tough decision: trust Atlas and resolve matters on the wrong side of the law, or stick to her oath as a lawyer. An impossible decision. And she is running out of time.. As usual with Chantal, we have unexpected twists and turns, wonderful banter between a sexy as sin guy and a feisty woman. And sparks flying everywhere. With a tough of drama and a lot of feel good. Five out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

What a read! Natalie has worked her whole life to set herself apart from the MC she grew up in, and that includes staying away from MC guys in potential relationships. She meets Atlas and instantly judges him, especially when she finds out she actually met his twin brother the night before, and Atlas is determined to show her how judgmental she is and how different he is. Fate intervenes and continues to put them in situations together, and when Natalie finally lets Atlas in, it’s instant the chemistry and understanding between them. Throughout all this, there is some dramatic situations both in Natalie’s job as well as the MC going after Marko, which has been an ongoing plot through the past few books in the series, and the ending was one that I didn’t see coming and had me in literal tears. My heart broke for Atlas in the end of this and I was rooting for Natalie and him to pull through, and the ending of this book surprised me as well with what happens with not only this couple, but also Rhett and the other MC. I can’t wait to see what Chantal gives us next from these characters after such an explosive ending in this book!

OMG, what an emotional MC read. Ms. Fernando has given us readers a very intense, thrilling storyline that had me smiling and laughing at times and wanting to throw my ereader against the wall at others. The banter between the main characters is fantastic and I couldn't put it down. This reader loved every page and found it so worth the read (you just may need a tissue or two handy).

If you’ve read the first two books, you know that Natalie is the youngest daughter of the Wind Dragons MC Prez, Rake. She is a young attorney who has worked hard to get where she is. While loving the fact she was raised in the MC and she’s very proud of her family, as an adult she doesn’t want to live that lifestyle. So what happens when she meets Atlas, a member of the Knights of Fury MC? Luckily the clubs are allies, and granted Atlas and his twin brother Aries are tall, sexy and look like “Greek Gods”, but she doesn’t want to be with a biker. Can he win her over especially when the clubs are still looking for the madman out to kill and destroy their families - another drawback of the MC Lifestyle.

While this can be read as a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading the series in order as the stories and characters do overlap.

Answering Atlas by Chantal Fernando is book three in the Knights & Dragons series. The book focuses on Atlas and Natalie. Natalie was born into the Wind Dragons MC and is the youngest daughter of Rake. A hard-working lawyer, she doesn’t really want anything to do with the MC and definitely doesn’t wat a relationship with any man associated with it. That is until she meets Atlas, mistaking him for his twin, she is quite judgmental, and it is only with Atlas putting her in her place that they kind of become frenemies who are attracted to one another.

Throw into the book a lot of drama not only between the two main characters but also the MC’s and you have yourself an intriguing mix, especially when Natalie has to choose between her client’s confidentiality and her family (it definitely doesn’t go well). Atlas also goes through his own trials and tribulations throughout the book and there are moments of heartbreak for many of the characters.

If you’ve read previous books by Chantal Fernando, you’ll know some of the characters and it was great to see some of them older and wiser. This is another great addition to the series, and it will be interesting to see what happens next.

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

A girl and biker meet at bar, the girl says no thanks to the offered drink and the biker walks away. Leaving the girl sees said biker about to hook up with not one but two other women. Shaking her head, the girl reiterates to herself that bikers are not for her.

Natalie grew up as the daughter of the Wind Dragons president, Rake. She's lived that life and she definitely does not want to live it again. She wants to date a man who lives the white collar life, where they are not constantly in danger from unknown entities and where her life would be centered around MC life.

Atlas is both fascinated with Natalie and upset at her because of her judgmental attitude. The first moment she met him, she pegged him as just "another biker" without really noticing what made him tick. Unable to help himself, he puts himself in her path again and again.

As Natalie and Atlas begin to really get to know each other, outside forces work to tear them apart. A foe from the past threatens Atlas's brother and in turn, the Wind Dragons and Knights of Fury.

Love and heartache is ultimately what this story is about and how love can overcome the worst tragedy of all.

Answering Atlas is the third book in the Kings Knights and Dragons world. Although having a backstory for their largest rival would be beneficial, it's not necessary and these books can be read as a standalone.

Natalie basically grew up in the MC, as one of the daughters of its foremost members, she knows exactly what life in the club is like. She decided long ago, she didn't want to get caught up with a biker. Instead she focuses on her budding law career and the suits she's so attracted to. She soon learns snakes wear neck ties.

Atlas is intrigued by the beauty right away, when she gives him the cold shoulder and mistakes him for his twin brother. There's no denying their instant attraction but the stubborn woman tries anyway. But when he steps in to help her out of a jam, she realizes she judged him too harshly. As sparks fly, banter is exchanged and their romance builds, the MC struggle to find the enemy out for their blood.

Great book, not as much conflict as expected, but heartbreaking losses (deeply saddened we'llnever see a story for one of them. He deserved better.) Cute banter and great storyline. I enjoyed the growth in Natalie and how Atlas helped her to get there!

Chantal was my first MC romance author and I still love her stories. This one gave me all the feelings that I was missing.

Natalie has chosen a path that takes her away from the clubhouse and her family's lifestyle. As a lawyer, she wants to help the ones close to her but she is also very ambitious. Still, she can't escape the life or one particular man.. Atlas, do I like this man. And so does Natalie. He is part of a friendly MC to the Wind Dragons, owns a garage with his twin, and is fixing a bike for Rake, Nat's father.

The chemistry is there under the surface between Natalie and Atlas, and neither wants to admit it because of some misunderstanding when they meet. He has club business and wants to forget about her, but she keeps turning up, and keeps her on his mind until he keeps her in bed.

There were some time jumps that I did not like since I think that time could have explored what was happening in Nat and Atlas heads. I would have liked it more if they didn't happen.

Things do carry over a bit from the previous two books in the Knights and Dragons, but you could dive in with this book, and while you might miss some things, you can still enjoy it. Do I wish that Rhett had less space in the book since I don't like him, yes, but it is what it is.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Natalie is the youngest daughter of the Wind Dragons MC Prez, and while she loves her family to death, she doesn't want the MC lifestyle (she's not ashamed of them whatsoever either). She's a young attorney who works hard, and is on her way up in her world when she comes face to face with Atlas. He's a member of the Knights of Fury MC not to mention sexy as hell, but Natalie will resist him no matter what. The moment Atlas sees Natalie, he's 100% drawn to her, but he knows there's no way that anything can happen or can it?! See, Fate got involved so now they run into each other all over the place, and the sparks are flying. Things take another turn when he gets her out of a difficult situation, but there's some serious danger coming. These two are perfect for each other, but with her pulled back into the world she's tried to stay out of, it becomes impossible to resist any longer. Once again, Chantal Fernando pulled me into her world effortlessly, and per usual, I didn't move until every last page was finished, and I certainly CANNOT WAIT for more! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The third book in the Knights and Dragons MC is Atlas and Natalie's story. I liked the dynamic between these two. There is an attraction from the moment they meet despite misconceptions on both sides. Atlas thinks she is stuck up and ashamed of her biker family and deliberately sets out to wind her up. It was quite funny seeing Natalie trying not to like him but he is persistent and gets through all her defences. Natalie is an ambitious lawyer which brings her into contact with an enemy the clubs are looking for. I enjoyed seeing a strong woman portrayed in a positive way. The chemistry is scorching, they are a couple that talk to each other working through their issues. There is no other woman drama which for an MC romance was a welcome change. There is plenty of club drama one part of it made me really sad. There is a great mix of characters from previous books and it was nice seeing this dynamic play out. Although you could read this as a standalone I would recommend reading the previous books as you get a better understanding of how the clubs are connected.

Answering Atlas😍

Answering Atlas is the next book in this Knights and Dragons MC crossover series. It features Atlas, one of the twin brothers and Natalie, youngest daughter of Rake from the Wind Dragons🙃

Atlas knows the minute he sees Natalie that she’s his, but unfortunately she is a little resistant to “dating” bikers since she grew up with the Wind Dragons and her dad is a member. But Atlas is not ready to give up. The danger that has been following them all finally rears it’s head and it appears Natalie is the target😢

Oh my gosh one part of this story absolutely broke my heart💔 I’m devastated to say the least but you’ll have to read it to find out why😭 Another fantastic story by Chantal and I’m eager to see what book she had lined up for us next. I received an advanced copy and willingly leave my honest review❣️

*** Thank you to NetGalley for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review ***

The third installment in Fernando's Knights and Dragons series is the strongest yet. Natalie Ward has been raised in club life. Wanting something else for her life she becomes and lawyer and vows to never date a biker. Atlas takes her vow as not only an affront but a challenge. Continuing storylines, and danger from previous books this installment is best read in order. The chemistry between Natalie and Atlas is quite good and most of the angst and drama comes from other characters or circumstance not related to the romance, which is somewhat a departure from the previous books in the serious. I very much enjoyed this quick read, there were real stakes, I only wish they were explored a bit more. This is 3.5 star read that I am bumping to 4 stars based on the ease of readability alone. Would recommend to contemporary romance readers, especially those looking for somewhat light on on page violence in the motorcycle club sub-genre.

I have read everything since Dragon’s Lair and have loved most of what I read by Chantal. The beginning of this story had so much promise. Snarky heroes and heroines, a push-pull relationship and conflicts of interest. But…it soon became mundane. Not that there isn’t any action, it was just there. I did love how they talked about their ideas and hopes. Chantal did manage to surprise me and I was shocked and sad. One thing I expect from MC books is sex. I normally would never mention it as a point of liking or disliking a book, but I want it in an MC book. I am not sure I will continue on with reading Chantal’s stories. If you want some really good stories with great characters, go back to the original Wind Dragons and start from there.

I received a complimentary copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

I have loved Chantal's Wind Dragons MC beyond words. Such a wonderful world she created within the pages. I was super excited that she is continuing that world with the Knights & Dragons MC.

Natalie was so fantastic. Strong and sassy. I did have to chuckle when she insisted that she wouldn't date a biker and wanted suits instead. Growing up in the club had her thinking that suits would be safer. So when Atlas comes into orbit around her, she fights hard to resist. Atlas knows what he wants from the moment he meets her and I fell head over heart for him. I loved his sense of humor and the relationship that he has with his brother. So much. I knew she couldn't resist him for long. Theirs isn't an easy road for sure, but it's still beautiful.

You should read their story and all of Chantel's words on a page.

I give Answering Atlas 5 hearts!
