H and h were each others first cuz of h wants him tries to seduce him says he’s too young to only be with h. He does not cheat but h sees her on Hs lap top off and leaves Comes back next day packs her bags and he does not fight for her or try to stop her instead starts his life as a walking STD. His road name is lore because his sexual exploits are legend. In one of his first scenes he’s getting private stripper dancing while other club girls blows him.
Meanwhile h had his son and had come back 4 months after she left to tell him only to see him living his life leaving with two women. She leaves again. Poor girl one other lover who she never really enjoyed she married him and had his daughter but when he starts to get violent with her she calls the H. She has to stay at the compound and see loads of ow that he fucked and see him flirt. She gave in to him in no time either no STD testing. He never in 7 years tried to find her just kept fucking everything in sight. It was really gross to be honest. I did not believe he truly loved her he was having to much fun and in that scene mentioned above he is thinking this is the life how great it was. Yep no.

3.5 stars. I can't seem to rate this series higher because it's so repetitive, and all the characters bleed into one. Everyone's horny. All the FMCs pant after all the MC guys which is really a turn off to be honest. It's getting tiring. All the FMCs act the exact same way. The only thing differencing between them is their looks, but that's about it. Lore the H is THE manwhore of the club. Atiana was his high school sweetheart who wasn't enough to stop his whoring eyes. He was a male stripper as well. She catches her cousin sitting shirtless on his lap. It looks bad, but he didn't cheat. BUT in his POV he said he wouldn't have removed her from where she sat. So if Atiana hadn't walked in on them I'm sure he'd have gone all the way. Atiana runs away and she's pregnant because of course. Secret pregnancy. 7 years separation and Lore is living his best life screwing anything in a skirt. Atiana finds herself with an abusive husband, and calls Lore for help. So even though we're to believe he still held a flame for Atiana, not once did he go looking for her, so his complete turnaround was kinda unbelievable. As soon as she's in the club he's wanting to be a daddy and a husband. She did come back when she first left to tell him she was pregnant, but she saw Lore with two women and decided against it. Actually I would have stayed away as well because Lore specifically told her when she was younger he wanted to have zero children. He was going to have a vasectomy, but decided against it. Also, what I found gross, but this author apparently thought was hot, is that Lore tattooed Atiana's name on his c*** after she left seven year's ago. So this man is sticking her name into every female he comes across. Apparently his body count is too astronomical to count. Am I the only one that finds that distasteful? And I LIKE my angsty manwhores in fiction. Getting his c*** tattooed after he committed to her I wouldn't have had a problem with. But the prior? No.
Next up is Skulls book. Which I'm surprised because I honestly thought him and his twin were going to have the same woman as they always tag team together. So a little surprised. I would say the characters I'm most interested in would be Suit, Ghost, and Angel. But knowing all the FMCs are going to probably be carbon copies of each other is a let down.

4 Stars
A secret‑baby MC romance with heart, accountability, and surprisingly great pacing.
This ended up being a fast, engaging, one day read for me. The emotional tension between Lore and Atiana pulled me in immediately, and I never hit the usual slow middle section that often appears once second‑chance couples reconnect. I was invested from start to finish and already want to go back and read the earlier books in the series, as well as the one that follows.
What Worked for Me
The angst between these two is the heart of the story, and it’s done well. I really felt the push‑pull of their history: Lore genuinely has changed, and the book lets us see that clearly, while Atiana’s reasons for protecting herself — and her children — are completely understandable. Their dynamic kept me torn in the best way.
I also appreciated that the world around Atiana didn’t treat her like an afterthought. Even though she doesn’t date anyone else, the book still gives her a sense of autonomy and desirability. Suit’s constant flirting (even once we learn the real reason behind it), the twins, and a few other brothers all made it clear she had options. That balance matters in a second‑chance romance, especially in an MC setting where the hero often has a long trail of past hookups. Atiana noticing other men, even casually, gave her more agency and kept her from feeling like a single‑focus heroine.
Lore’s internal monologue also worked for me. His regret, accountability, and emotional vulnerability felt sincere, and several of his lines hit hard. His transformation is believable, and the book gives him space to own the damage he caused without excusing it.
What Didn’t Fully Land
The external conflict didn’t escalate the way I expected based on the setup. There were a couple of moments — Lore being followed, the club leaving for Ora’s birth — where I anticipated more danger or fallout, but those threads stayed in the background. Not a flaw, just a mismatch between setup and payoff.
I also expected a bit more tension from the club‑girl side of things. It’s a staple of the genre, and while the book touches on it, it never fully develops into the emotional pressure I thought it might.
These aren’t dealbreakers, but they’re part of why this lands at four stars instead of higher.
Audio Narration (ALC)
The audio narration worked really well for this story, and both narrators brought something distinct to their performances. Avery Caris was the standout for me — her range is genuinely impressive, and she handled the masculine voices so convincingly that she honestly could have carried the entire audiobook on her own. She brought a lot of emotional nuance to Atiana’s chapters and kept me fully engaged.
TJ Clark also did a great job as Lore. I’ll admit I initially expected a deeper voice for him, but once I settled into the story, his tone made sense. It fits Lore’s more light‑hearted, former‑player vibe rather than a dark, brooding alpha type, and it ended up working really well for the character.
One thing to note for listeners: the audiobook doesn’t include chapter numbers. It’s not a dealbreaker, but it can be a little confusing if you’re switching between the audio and the ebook, since the ebook does have chapters. Outside of that, the pacing, clarity, and emotional delivery were strong, and the audio added to my overall enjoyment of the book.
Final Thoughts
This is a solid, emotionally engaging second‑chance MC romance with great pacing and a couple whose history feels genuinely complicated. I tore through it in a day and immediately wanted more from this world. While a few elements didn’t escalate the way I expected, the character work and emotional tension more than carried the story.
Who This Book Is For
Readers who enjoy:
• second‑chance romance
• MC settings with emotional depth
• the secret baby trope
• heroes who genuinely change
• heroines with agency and options
• steady pacing with no mid‑book slump

Five Fantastic Stars!!
All it took was one desperate call to her first love for her whole world to change. Atiana and Hunter/Lore were each other’s firsts and thought they had the whole world in front of them…that is until someone started putting thoughts into Lore’s head which led him let Atiana go. It was the biggest mistake of his life but now he had a second chance with his one true love.
With Atiana now at the clubhouse along with her two children would the life Lore lived until that phone call, be enough to change his ways. The women loved him and he sure knew how to draw them in. Now his brothers were having a field day with giving him lip about his love life. Could the womanizer be tamed.
This book was captivating and has become one of my favorites. This author’s work is amazing and I can’t wait to read more in this series. I highly recommend this book.

I want to say a massive thank you to Chantal Fernando for the ARC of Lore.
Since meeting Lore in the previous Serpents of Chaos MC books I've been excited to get his book. Lore is lovable but a major commitment-phobe. After the bad break up between him and his childhood sweetheart Atiana, he's determined to never settle down.
Years later when Atiana calls because she's in trouble, Lore drops everything to rescue her and her kids. In doing so he discovers the secret she's been keeping all these years. Will this cause him to run from her or will they be able to work through what kept them apart in the first place?
I absolutely could not put this book down while I went through the emotional journey of these childhood sweethearts finding their way back to each other. This book is a page turner from start to finish and I cannot get enough of these men.
Super excited for the next instalment in the Serpents of Chaos MC!

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by the author)...
I couldn’t wait to read Lore’s book, the lovable commitment phobe had met his match or should I say re-match? Atiana and Lore were childhood sweethearts who due to Lore’s actions meet a tragic relationship end, but traumatic call from Atiana and Lore runs to her rescue and learns some interesting news.
I love the banter and connection between Atiana and Lore, their shared past created a deep bond but they have serious issues to overcome as well. It wasn’t easy for these to re-connect especially with Lore’s womanizing ways in the club. However, I did enjoy their journey unfold and of course the club giving Lore a hard time.
More review to come.

Thank you NetGalley for this aARC! I love audio books so this was an easy listen for me.
I have never heard of the series before so I dove straight into the MC without reading the first few books. All in all you don’t need to read them in order to understand what’s going on - true standalone!
This was a good story. It was really quick, there were parts I would have liked more, whether that’s more story development or more spice - some places just needed more. This could have been a much longer book if we developed pieces more.
That being said, it doesn’t take away from the fact it was a good story, it had cute kids, sexy bikers, ol’ladies, and an overprotective male main character / sold.
This is a good quick listen and a good story at it!

Lore has always regretted what happened with Atiana years ago. Deciding it was best to leave things the way they were Lore lived a full life full of women, his mc and no attachments. When Atiana calls needing help from Lore, he is there in a heartbeat. His past has caught up to him and despite all the questions he has, he knows he cannot let Atiana go a second time. Atiana though can forgive but can't forget.
This was a good one. I have liked Lore since his character was introduced and his story did not disappoint. So much packed into this one, it was fantastic.

Sometimes you just need an easy, low-stress read where you don’t have to think too much—and this book delivered exactly that. It was a quick, enjoyable read and the perfect palate cleanser between heavier, more intense books. Great for when you want to relax and just enjoy the story.

Great story about high school sweethearts who get a second chance after an epic fail seven years ago.
Atiana and her children need help leaving her husband so she’s calls the one man who will help her with no questions asked. (At least at first.)
The moment he sees her, he knows.
The moment he sees the kids, he knows.
Lore has done many, MANY,….. since Atiana, but he knows she’s the one for him. Now he just needs her to give him another chance. He blames it on being young and dumb, but I do think she should have made him work more for it. Luckily, this is only a fictional story. :)
Can be read on its own even though it’s book 3 in a series.

Motorcycle Romance | Second chances| Biker boys|
Chantal Fernando and the Serpents of Chaos MC do. not. miss!!!
This series has been brilliant from the very start, and book three is no exception. I devoured it in just a few hours...I simply couldn’t put it down!😍
After meeting the lovable but commitment-phobe Lore in book one, I was dying to read his story, and wow… it delivers all the spice🔥, swoon😍, and laughter🤣. Lore and Atiana are childhood sweethearts who parted on bad terms...leaving Atiana with a broken heart and Lore determined never to settle down. But when Atiana calls after seven years, Lore will stop at nothing to protect her and her kids… and maybe, just maybe, win her back.
Their story unfolds in the most beautiful, heart-tugging way. I found myself awwing, tearing up, and completely swooning as these big, bad bikers showed their soft side in full-on dad mode 🔥 Instant. Swoon.
Packed with humor, leather-clad bikers, and enough spice to warm even the coldest of days 🤭...if Sons of Anarchy with cinnamon-roll bad boys is your vibe, you need to check out the Serpents of Chaos.
A huge thank you to the author for the opportunity to beta read this amazing story!

Lore🥰
Lore is the third book in the Serpents of Chaos MC series and let’s just say karma comes back to get its revenge in this one🫠🤣 So great to be back in the Serpents Clubhouse again and getting to know more of the characters, the banter between them all is just top notch…I hope we stay in this “world” for a while.
Atiana calls Lore when she finds herself in trouble. They haven’t spoken in seven years, but she has no choice. Lore drops everything when he gets the call from Atiana to get her. However, Lore doesn’t expect to collect the small parcels that come with her and the discovery that one of them belongs to him😳
Love these characters and after that brief glimpse into the next book, I can’t wait for it now either🙌☺️ I received an advanced copy and voluntarily leave my honest review❤️🩹

This second-chance, secret-child MC romance completely surprised me in the best way. I picked it up expecting the usual emotional ride, but instead I got a tightly paced, deeply layered story that kept me hooked from the first chapter straight through to the last. No mid-book slump, no dragging reunion—just steady, compelling tension that made it impossible to set aside.
Lore and Atiana’s history carries the weight of first love, heartbreak, and years of unresolved pain. They grew up together, shared all their “firsts,” and once believed their future was set—until outside influence and Lore’s own immaturity tore them apart. Watching him confront the consequences of that choice years later is one of the strongest elements of the story. He isn’t instantly forgiven, nor is he magically transformed. Instead, we see his remorse, his growth, and his willingness to own the damage he caused. That accountability made his redemption feel earned rather than convenient.
Atiana’s position is just as powerful. When she makes the desperate call that brings Lore back into her life, she does so out of necessity, not longing. She has built a world around herself and her children, and her hesitation is rooted in self-preservation. Her protectiveness feels justified, and her emotional boundaries never come across as petty or dramatic. The push and pull between them is intense without being exhausting, and I appreciated how balanced their dynamic felt.
One aspect I especially loved was that Atiana never felt sidelined in her own story. Even though this is a second-chance romance and she doesn’t pursue anyone else, the narrative makes it clear she has options. Other club members notice her. Suit’s playful attention—once its true motivation is revealed—adds both tension and dimension. She’s desired, respected, and seen, which prevents the relationship from feeling one-sided in a world where the male lead has a history of casual flings. That sense of agency made a big difference.
Lore’s arc as the reformed flirt trying to prove he’s serious adds both heart and humor. His brothers giving him grief about settling down lightens the heavier emotional beats without undercutting them. Beneath his former-player persona is someone who never truly moved on, and seeing that vulnerability surface gives the story depth.
The audiobook experience elevated everything. Avery Caris delivers a standout performance, bringing emotional nuance and range that made every scene hit harder. Her portrayal of both male and female voices is impressive enough that she could have easily carried the production solo. TJ Clark brings a tone to Lore that fits his lighter, once-charming-but-guarded personality. While his voice may not match the stereotypical gravelly MC hero, it ultimately suits the character’s evolution and adds authenticity. One small note for listeners: the lack of clearly labeled chapters in the audio can make switching between formats slightly tricky, but it’s a minor inconvenience compared to the overall quality of the narration.
As part of the Serpents of Chaos MC series, this installment deepened my appreciation for the club and its members. Having met Lore in earlier books, finally getting his story felt satisfying, and it left me eager to revisit previous entries and continue forward in the series.
Overall, this is an emotionally charged, well-paced MC romance that balances angst, growth, and genuine character development. The secret-child reveal raises the stakes, but it’s the emotional accountability and believable reconnection that truly carry the story. I devoured it in a single day and immediately wanted more from this world.

Suit’s playful attention—once its true motivation is revealed—adds both tension and dimension. She’s desired, respected, and seen, which prevents the relationship from feeling one-sided in a world where the male lead has a history of casual flings. That sense of agency made a big difference.
Lore’s arc as the reformed flirt trying to prove he’s serious adds both heart and humor. His brothers giving him grief about settling down lightens the heavier emotional beats without undercutting them. Beneath his former-player persona is someone who never truly moved on, and seeing that vulnerability surface gives the story depth.
The audiobook experience elevated everything. Avery Caris delivers a standout performance, bringing emotional nuance and range that made every scene hit harder. Her portrayal of both male and female voices is impressive enough that she could have easily carried the production solo. TJ Clark brings a tone to Lore that fits his lighter, once-charming-but-guarded personality. While his voice may not match the stereotypical gravelly MC hero, it ultimately suits the character’s evolution and adds authenticity. One small note for listeners: the lack of clearly labeled chapters in the audio can make switching between formats slightly tricky, but it’s a minor inconvenience compared to the overall quality of the narration.
As part of the Serpents of Chaos MC series, this installment deepened my appreciation for the club and its members. Having met Lore in earlier books, finally getting his story felt satisfying, and it left me eager to revisit previous entries and continue forward in the series.
Overall, this is an emotionally charged, well-paced MC romance that balances angst, growth, and genuine character development. The secret-child reveal raises the stakes, but it’s the emotional accountability and believable reconnection that truly carry the story. I devoured it in a single day and immediately wanted more from this world.

THIS BOOK IS BOOK 3 OF THE SERIES. EACH BOOK ENDS ON A CLIFFHANGER WITH THE MAIN FMC AND MMC A COUPLE. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU READ EACH BOOK IN ORDER.
Quote:
"Atiana?" I whisper, grabbing my phone with both hands while the whole world around me disappears. I don't hear the music playing, nor do I see the two women in the room. All the noise in my head suddenly stops.
Summary:
FMC and MMC were in a relationship. On the day she was going to tell him she was pregnant with their son she found him with her cousin half-dressed on his lap. Years have pasted and the MMC is now a part of a mc. He is known for his love of women. He gets a call from the FMC she needs him. She is in trouble.
MMC brings FMC to the clubhouse along with the son he didn't know about and her young daughter. FMC wants nothing to do with the MMC. However, the MMC is looking at this as a second chance, a chance for redemption in the FMCs eyes. HEA
Review:
I think this may be my second favorite book of the series so far. The first being "War". I loved seeing how one phone call changed the MMCs life, his choices, and lifestyle. As usual the side characters help this relationship to develop. In my mind, I can see the author writing out an outline of all the stories and how they interconnect. She has done this in a masterful way. I love it. I look forward to the next book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to read Lore by Chantal Fernando, narrated by Avery Caris; TJ Clark, in exchange for my honest review.
I listened to the audiobook of Lore and had a kind of middle-of-the-road experience.
First, Avery Caris absolutely carried this narration for me. She did a great job bringing emotion to the FMC and grounding the story. I struggled a lot more with TJ Clark’s chapters. Lore’s POV felt chaotic and rushed, and the narration’s pacing made his intensity feel more overwhelming than compelling.
The premise is classic second-chance MC romance. Years ago, the FMC was about to tell Lore she was pregnant when she caught him half-dressed with her cousin on his lap. She disappeared from his life, built a family, and now, years later, she calls him because she needs help. Lore brings her, her son (who happens to be his), and her young daughter to the clubhouse. She obviously still loves him, but is hurt and scared of him breaking her heart again.
I actually liked the idea of watching one phone call completely change Lore’s life. So much shifts for him — his priorities, choices, and lifestyle — and he doesn’t hesitate. I loved that character choice for him. And the found family aspect was easily my favorite part. MC books tend to shine when the club dynamics feel supportive, inclusive, and all-in.
Where it lost me was the conflict execution. The ex-husband storyline kept being mentioned in passing until suddenly it became serious and it was time for the club to act — and then it was over almost immediately. If they ultimately had the ability to fix the situation earlier, why not do that from the beginning? It felt more like delayed drama than real tension.
I also wasn’t a huge fan of Lore himself. I’m not sure how much was the writing vs. the audiobook performance, but the constant “mine, mine, mine” energy got repetitive fast. Possessiveness can be hot, but repetitive possessiveness just started to feel insecure. If you have to keep reminding everyone she’s yours, something isn’t working. I also felt like his “dominance” was forced — it never felt natural when they were together, and I found myself cringing during some scenes.
This was my first book in the series, and honestly some of the side characters interested me more than the main couple. Now I’m mostly curious whether future books will give the women as much personality as the bikers.
Overall it was fine. Fast, easy to get through, but not one I’ll think about much after finishing.
3 stars — enjoyable enough, but nothing that really stuck with me.

Oh Atiana and Lore had me spun up in all the feels. There is something about the troupes in this story that normally rile me. However I understood and empathised with both characters in this journey.
Atiana is a mom willing to do anything to protect her babies. She fiercely loyal, sweet but fiery and a little distrustful. She was protective and kind and so genuine with her emotions it was easy to relate to her. To understand her perspective. To empathise with her situation.
Lore our resident ladies man who is also the girly guy of the group. The safe guy. The guy who gets the girls but is also sweet with them. A love them and leave them with no emotional attachments with the only exception being the club old ladies. Lore despite her young stupidity thought with logic, kindness and understanding in a way that didn't feel out of character to him but the considering the situation.. it made me love him more. The patience. The sweet and all the loving. Oh he was smooth for sure.
Their journey wasn't easy but it was worth it for the end. It took patience, growth from both and more than a few difficult conversations navigating the rocky roads but they got their and I appreciate them for it. The imperfect outbursts.. the jealously, insecurities and other real raw emotions that were very much their reality. However in the end it only built a solid unshakable foundation.
As per... I do so love this world and the characters and once again Chantal did not disappoint with her ability to give us side characters with main character energy. They brought all the laughs, love and crazy outrageous shenanigans. There was never a dull moment. Now... GIVE ME THE TWINS. Three is not a crowd in my book dear.

You wouldn’t think that Lore, the Sergeant of Arms for the Serpents of Chaos, would be serious about any woman. But the only one that would bring him to his knees was his butterfly, his old girlfriend, Atiana. So, when she calls him in the middle of the night, needing his help, he drops everything and rushes to help her. Now he is face to face with the love of his life, and also he gets more than he bargained for…
Atiana never wanted to leave Lore/Hunter. But the day she finds out she is pregnant and coming home and finding him half naked with her cousin on the couch (maybe not what it looks like) she leaves. Now she is in trouble and the only person she can ask for help, is her ex. But she also knows that this will be the time that he finds out he is a dad…
I have to say that Lore totally stepped up. I didn’t think that he would be able to do this, but he totally proved me wrong. From the minute he found out he was a dad, he did everything he could to show Atiana that he was going to be a responsible dad, and he is going to prove to her that he is the right person for her too.
Loved their story and loved the girls always being there helping the guys out. I totally always get lost when I read one of these authors stories, and always wishing the story didn’t end. I am totally obsessed with this family and can't get enough.
But again, Chantal, I am dying for Ghost… 😊

Lore by Chantal Fernando
🎧 ALC from NetGalley
Narrated by Avery Caris & TJ Clark
This was such a satisfying second chance MC romance.
Lore had me hooked right away. Fast-paced, protective, and emotionally charged, which is exactly what I want when I dive into a biker romance. Seven years apart, unresolved feelings, and then she walks back into his life bruised and broken? Yeah. I was seated.
And when he hits us with the “Who did this to you?” 🫠
Immediate chills. Immediate obsession.
Lore as Sergeant of Arms for the Serpents of Chaos MC is dominant, loyal, and very much still in love — even if he pretends otherwise. The possessive energy is strong, but it’s rooted in history and heartbreak, which made it hit harder. You can feel that she was always the one.
I especially loved how the FMC’s ex situation was handled. No drawn-out drama, no endless back-and-forth. It was dealt with quickly and decisively, which kept the story moving and let the emotional reconnection take center stage.
Avery Caris brought vulnerability and quiet strength to the FMC, while TJ Clark absolutely delivered on the protective, gravelly intensity. Together, they made the tension, the longing, and the heat feel real.
If you love:
• Second chance romance
• Protective, touch-her-and-die vibes
• MC brotherhood
• Fast-paced plots with emotional payoff
Lore is definitely worth the listen.

Book 3 and Ooohhh!! how the mighty have fallen, I do love to see a man brought to his knees for the right woman.
Lore is Sergeant At Arms for The Serpants Of Chaos MC a position he's used to his full advantage. With his charismatic charm and good looks women love him. Only to happy to share himself around with no strings and no commitment, he has it all.
Lore has been living his carefree best life and enjoying every minute, until his whole world turns upside down when the only women he ever loved turns up needing his protection.
I absolutely loved how Lore steps up for Atiana, it's clear how he feels, how he's always felt but he did what he thought was best at the time. Now he will do whatever it takes to prove he's worth a second chance.
Lore and Atiana have always had a strong physical connection but their history is messy and complicated. Hearts were hurt and secrets were kept that could now make or break them. Gah!!! Love Love Loved these two.
I'm so excited for the twins to get their story but I'm really drawn to Ghost and Angel too.
Bring on the next installment from The Serpants Of Chaos, these bikers play hard but they fall harder. 🖤

Lore is book three in the Serpents of Chaos series and while you could read as a standalone it would be better to start with book one. The overall story progresses through the entire series. Every book in the series is less than 250 pages so far so the series is very easy to read. I ran through all four books out so far in one day.
It's the typical MC series with ott possessive morally grey men with fiesty fmcs but I will still eat them up like candy. Lore, club playboy, suddenly has the one who got away come back into his life after seven years. He must quickly reform his ways and prove to her that he is the one for her and her children.
Lore having fmc's name tattooed on his dick for almost seven years and all the club girls knowing about it before Atiana did was a little icky. Personally think that would have been a better grovel move from Lore as he was trying to prove himself reformed.
Secret baby ✔️
Forced proximity ✔️
Second chance ✔️
Overall a well done audiobook both narrators do a good job with their performance.
Thank you NetGalley, Dreamscape Media, and Chantal Fernando for a copy of this audiobook.

This is the 3rd book in the Serpents of Chaos MC series, and it is one of my favorite MC series. Haze was my favorite; however, Lore has become my new favorite. Always the playboy, never serious, trying to forget his one true love. How is that working out for your Lore?!? It isn't because Atiana come back into his life, with her two kids. Remember Lore said that he would never be with a woman that had kids -- well, now he has to eat his words. I love:
💕how their relationship - Lore & Atiana - is redefined and works towards an HEA
💕how Lore loves those two kids - both his own son and accepting Dove as his daughter
💕how the situation with Atiana's husband is resolved
💕how Atiana becomes part of the Baddies Group Chat
💕how we get resolution regarding Daisy
💕how the MC embraces Atiana as Lore's Old Lady
💕how Lore grows into his role as a father
I look forward to the next book in this series. I know whose story I'm rooting for and hopefully thinking about it will make it happen.

Lore By Chantal Fernando ARC Review
Atiana, thought she betrayed at the beginning but she took her secret with her and the secret came out in the worst way possible. I really liked her stubbornness and courage of not taking sh*t from other people are getting rid of things that were problematic. I loved her attitude of being able to not hold back and I always loved Chantal’s characters and how she writes them female main characters with feistiness and stubbornness.
Hunter, was a club brother and didn’t know how to be a parent at first and I enjoyed reading about how he learned about parenting and his way breaking through his barriers of wanting children but had a surprise when he saw Atiana, with a child that looks like him.
I thought the chemistry was bittersweet and kept me hooked on the story of them falling love and the moments with them being a parent to the twins. The cheating misunderstanding is what happens in a lot of books but this was written beautifully and how he took care of her abusive ex was sweet and kind. I rated this story 5 stars.

Bon, j'aime beaucoup la nouvelle série de bikers MC de Chantal Fernando "Serpents of Chaos MC" et j'avoue qu'il y a des personnages dont on attend l'histoire avec impatience et Lore en faisait partie : nous découvrons que notre séducteur léger a un passé (comme tous les autres) mais surtout, il a eu une femme, Atiana, qui a compté dans sa vie et qu'il a laissé partir : or, quand celle-ci l'appelle des années après à l'aide, il n'hésite pas un seul instant et ce qu'il va découvrir va bouleverser sa vie : en effet, elle a deux enfants et le premier est son fils. Lui qui ne voulais pas d'enfant se retrouve en charge non seulement de celle qu'il n'a jamais oubliée mais aussi des deux enfants qu'elle veut protéger de son mari. Mais celui-ci semble être bien plus qu'un homme ordinaire et il refuse de renoncer à Atiana et à sa fille. Que cache-t-il? Lore arrivera-t-il a se réconcilier avec elle et avoir une deuxième chance? Quid de son fils? Pourra-t-il construire une relation avec lui et se montrer à la hauteur, lui qui n'a jamais eu d'exemple? Atiana et Lore pourront-ils dépasser leur colère et leur sentiments de trahison? eh bien vous le saurez dans ce nouveau tome palpitant et que j'ai adoré.
"Lore" est sorti le 15 septembre et je remercie Chantal Fernando pour son envoi en ARC, comme à chaque fois. Les deux premiers tomes sont évidemment chroniqués.

One phone call is all it takes and Atiana is back in Hunter/Lore's life and she is bring her 2 children with her and that includes his son he didn't know he had. She left him she she found him half naked with her cousin sitting on his lap also half naked and knowing that he didn't want to be a father. He didn't come after her and she kept going. Now when her husband beat her in front of her kids she is done and calls him for help. He takes her back to his clubhouse and into his world. From the start, he is all in and even though he is surprised to find himself a father, he is ready to take on not only his son but both kids, they are now his. He wants Atiana back and there is nothing he will not do to get her back.
