Answering Atlas by Chantal Fernando

Go to review page

4.0

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.

 Luca and Dom's story continues right where book 1 finishes,
so you will need to read Forbidden Mafia Prince first.
 
I liked that yes this is mafia, yes people are bad,
we are focused on the guys and not all the stuff around them -
yeah it impacts their decision making, but we get to the bones of our guys...
and their boning ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ† hehehe
 
It had a bit of everything, it was happy, sad, dangerous and a lot of sexy.
I adored the journey that our lovelies have taken,
and this was a great conclusion to their duet.

It's time for the final round of the Jameson Force Security series.

 And one of my favourites.

I mean, sexy, badass security type guys and puppers? Gimme!

Instattraction and instatrouble go hand in hand with Kellen and Abby

I think you need to go into this one a bit blind so you can really enjoy it. I will say that it was great to see the rest of the Jameson crew, and it was a wonderful way to end the series.

Welcome back to Sugarloaf Ridge, where secrets and lies are bound to make their way out

You will need to have read Sugarloaf Ridge Secrets first to get the best out of this story.

I wanted to know more about Jerry from the minute I met him in book 1, and I was not disappointed in him at all.

I didn't really connect with Liv though. There is nothing wrong with her, she is a fine character and all, so maybe this was just me.

I got all the small town feels - having done the tree change myself I get the small-mindedness, cliquiness and b!tchiness that comes with being the "interloper" into a small town

And don't get me started on Penny - that woman deserves something unpleasant to happen to her!

Loved the friendships that Liv makes and how the bring embrace her into their lives

Jerry is just amazing and we all need one of our own.

I have read and reread Pride and Prejudice over the years, so can imagine the characters, then imagining them as zombie killers is quite amusing
