From New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando comes the latest in the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club series featuring a red-hot romance and plenty of mystery!
Ranger is at a he has a chance to leave the motorcycle club and do something else with his life—but he keeps getting dragged back. When the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club asks for his help, Ranger agrees, not only because it is hard to say no to them, but also because he has a vested interest.
A woman is missing.
And Ranger knows her.
The Wind Dragons aren’t the only ones hoping this girl can be found—on the hunt is Johanna Chase, a stubborn detective who won’t give up until the missing woman is found safe. She needs Ranger to navigate the underground world of motorcycle clubs, and immediately, sparks fly. Ranger fights the attraction. He has no plans on going there, no matter how beautiful and badass she is. A biker and a cop? Ridiculous.
But the two of them soon realize that they’re in way over their heads, and now they have to trust each other in order to save her. With the WDMC and the police force at their back, it should be no problem, right?
Ranger was always hard to gage in other books. I loved what I discovered when reading his and Jo's story. When the biker and the cop are paired on an investigation to find a woman, who happens to be an old friend of Ranger and cousin to Jo, the sparks fly between the two.
I really liked that it didn't take long for Ranger to know that what he felt for Jo was special and different. She compliments him in very good ways. The seemingly unmatched pair have a lot of wade through including the fact that they are from totally different worlds and some drama with another woman. I strongly disliked the woman in question and felt the issues concerning her should've been handled quicker than they were.
The plot ties in with the previous couples well though there doesn't seem to be much in the way of movement on some of the main lines. This was ok for me because it allowed for the focus to be on the current pair. It felt different from how the author handled other breakout stories. All in all an entertaining read.
Ranger is new to the Wind Dragon MC and not sure he fits in, or if he even wants to stick around. When he gets roped into helping a cop find a missing woman, who he happens to know from long ago, he's sure it's going to be the last thing for the MC before he leaves. But then he finds that Detective Johanna Chase isn't like any other cop he's ever known, and she may be the thing that makes him stick around.
This book had a different feel than the other ones did in the series, but I still loved it. We didn't have too much of the club involved in the story and it really let me focus on the Main Characters instead, which I was really happy about. I liked getting to learn all about Ranger and Jo, and loved them together.
Overall, this was definitely a book I will recommend. Even though it's part of a series it could actually be read as a standalone as long as you're okay with hearing about the other characters a little bit.
Ranger finds himself at a crossroads. He left the Wild Men MC along with Talon and they both joined the Wind Dragons MC but Talon had family there plus his relationship with Tia and it seemed like he belonged whereas Ranger was alone, feeling lost, the last single man left in the MC. While he loves the feeling of family that comes with the MC he's not sure it's really for him anymore, he long since lost interest in the easy women that flock to him, he can't remember the last time he had sex and he finds himself wanting more and he finds it in Johanna Chase a stubborn and independent police detective. Faye asks Ranger to help her with a case, a woman has been missing for two weeks and time is running out. At first Ranger isn't interested but then he sees a picture of the missing woman Elizabeth Chase and he recognises her. Elizabeth's cousin Johanna will stop at nothing to find her even if it means working with a biker. The more time they spend together the more drawn together Jo and Ranger become and Ranger quickly realises he's found his one, the one woman meant for him and only him but what chance do a biker and a cop have? I really enjoyed this book, I loved Ranger and while Jo annoyed me at times with her self sacrificing attitude for the most part I really liked her as well. It started well and the first half is strong, I'll admit I expected more from the second half partly I think because in the previous books the author has usually thrown something at the couple involved but that didn't happen here. I had a couple of small issues (I know when don't I?) but on the whole I really enjoyed this plus as with all the previous books we get to catch up with the other characters as well.
I voluntarily read a review copy kindly provided by NetGalley and Threshold, Pocket Books.
Crossroads is a standalone and is part of the Wind Dragons MC series. I’ve read a few of these books and what’s different about Crossroads is that it’s not entirely an MC book. This one was a bit more suspenseful to me. I love a good mystery book, so I was fine with this.
Ranger has a good head on his shoulders. He really isn’t tied down to anyone and he likes it like that. Johanna is a cop. She’s the opposite of the kind of person Ranger needs to get involved with. With Johanna’s cousin goes missing, Johanna needs Ranger to help find her cousin.
I liked Johanna, but at times she could be frustrating. She tries to do the right thing throughout the book and sometimes I wanted her to follow her heart instead of her kindness. I loved that she cared for her cousin and she really wanted to find her. I also liked that she gave sass to Ranger. I also liked that Ranger had a crazy attraction towards Johanna. The attraction between the two was strong and there was a bit of insta-lust at first.
However the priorities was finding the cousin.
There were a few stakeouts and some interviews and throughout the process of finding the cousin, Johanna and Ranger got closer together. The drama was tame and mild, but it got a little more angsty towards the second half the book.
Johanna and Ranger kind of go through some relationship issues. I will admit, they mostly handled themselves well. I just kind of wanted a different problem. I’m an over-the-top kind of girl I guess.
Overall, if you have been a fan of the series, then you will be happy with this one.
A finished copy was provided and I volunteered to review
Ranger’s story is a bit different than the previous books. His love has hurdles the others didn’t have to face because his love is forbidden and crosses boundaries that affects them both.
But Ranger isn’t like most bikers and the stereotypes are WAY off when it comes to this man. But when his eyes land on Johanna for the first time, that biker/alpha mentality came to their surface. All he wants is to hold her and protect her, even though she can and has been doing herself before he came around.
Their attraction was immediate. Their connection was instant. Their love came fast and strong.
The Wind Dragons MC is back and we finally get Ranger’s story! I’ve been wondering about him for so long and I was excited to get to read his book!
As we know, Ranger is a biker. And in this book, we meet Jo and she is a cop. They normally wouldn’t be crossing paths to be working with each other, but that is what happens when they both on the case for a missing woman. Over that time, they grow closer and sparks fly.
Ranger and Jo had so much chemistry. Them being together was forbidden, him being a criminal and her a cop. But that didn’t stop them from wanting to make it work out. I loved these two together! I also loved being able to see the previous couples in this book and see how they are doing now. It was fun to see all the interactions and how Jo fit into their group.
Throughout this book Ranger is at a crossroads in his life and it was interesting to see how he dealt with that. The resolution to the crossroads was something I felt worked well with where he wanted to go in life. I loved how this book ended and seeing how their happily ever after turned out.
I enjoyed this book and loved it, but the way a certain situation was handled made me drop it half a star. I’m not going to say what it was as not to spoil anything, but I didn’t like how it was dealt with and how it was played out. I think it was unnecessary, but otherwise it was a great book and a great addition to the series.
I’m looking forward to reading more books by Chantal Fernando in the future! -Leah, 4.5 Stars
Crossroads is the sixth book in the Wind Dragons MC by Chantal Fernando. I've been eagerly awaiting its release.
I was so excited to finally get Ranger's story. We met him in previous books with the Wild Men MC and he has since joined the Wind Dragon's MC. He's a sexy genius - quiet and reserved, but when he speaks, people listen.
He agrees to help a cop, Johanna Chase, find a missing woman. The woman is an old friend to Ranger that he hasn't seen in years. She's also the cousin to Johanna.
I like that Fernando shifts the plot away from some of the saga that had been in previous books. It's still the Wind Dragons, but there is a meaningful purpose as the foundation of this storyline. The Wind Dragons are present but in the background.
Additionally, it's an interesting perspective in that once they realize the attraction they embrace it; however, the basis of the storyline has twists, not related to their attraction, that are the central focus of the storyline.
I love this series and I'm hopeful for more. However, it appears Fernando may be preparing for a spin off or possibly gearing for a series with the offspring as the main characters. Either way, I'm not ready to put the Wind Dragons away so hopefully we'll see more soon.
I've been a fan of The Wild Dragon series from the start and I'v really looked forward to Ranger's story. He's been that one guy that we all want to know more about. We've hated him while secretly lusting after him. We've cussed at him while secretly calling to him. So needless to say, I was excited about getting his story.
I actually really liked Ranger. He's super sweet, communicative and makes sure that Joanna "Jo" knows where he stands. He makes a point to let her his feelings from the start and I admire that.
While I connected with Ranger and Jo, I think I was hoping for more action. The club has more or less settled down and this is a story about Ranger heading that way. Of course, he's at a point of his life where things have changed and he isn't sure if he fits in with the Wild Dragons. I just miss the action. I know that Jo and Ranger fall in love while searching for a missing woman, but I didn't feel the normal suspense that I've gotten with the rest of the books. I love the cop/biker relationship but I wanted more.
At the same time, I love that we still get more of the rest of the guys. Sure, they are settled down but you can tell that they are still the same loyal and loving family that they have always been and it really made me miss everyone even more than I already was.
Please don't let my rating fool you. I did enjoy this book and I really think Ranger could steal my heart. I just wanted more of Ranger in the dangerous MC world while he was stealing it. A total personal preference.
This book can be read as a standalone and I think it will be perfect for those that love the sweet bikers without all the dirty grit that comes with some of the stories.
*ARC kindly provided in exchange for an honest review*
This one was good but not as good as the other books in the series. The cop and the biker is a cute idea. But there was something about this one that didn't grab my attention like the others did.
This was another bitter sweet one. Another ending and transition that you don’t wanna see but can totally understand. We get to see all our old friends and all while they are watching this amazing pair fall in love. It was really good. What I don’t get is how there can be another book after this? Like we have already had two endings before this. Is a third needed?
When it comes to MC Novels, I am often sitting on the fence with them as some of them feel the same story over and over again. One MC series that I always seem to connect and enjoy is Chantal Fernando's "Wind Dragons MC" series. I think it is because the people in the Wind Dragons MC seem to be very family orientated and not a rough and tumble club and ones that sleep around and have an endless line of girls in and out. I have always been able to connect with the characters whether female or male in Chantal's series. Crossroads main guy Ranger aka Cam has to be one of my favorites in her series and I have now added him to my Book Boyfriend list. Ranger had some trouble with his old MC gang and joined with best friend Talon - the Wind Dragons MC. Here he was finally finding his spot in life and feeling part of a family. Sin's wife Faye asks Ranger for help on a case as a female has been kidnapped from a Biker Bar. It turns out that Ranger knows the female from High School - back when life was carefree, and he was known as Cam. Her name is Elizabeth, the only female he ever considered a friend. Ranger accepts and starts to work the case with female police officer Jo who is also Elizabeth's cousin. For Ranger, there is an instant attraction to Jo, but she won't be one to roll over that easy. During the book, we read the growing chemistry between the pair as they go on the hunt for Elizabeth and finally track her down just as Jo and Ranger are starting their romance. What will happen when Jo realizes that Ranger is aka Cam - the one who Elizabeth always says got away - the one she thought she would have a HEA with ? Can Ranger prove to Jo that he wants her and not Elizabeth and that he always viewed Elizabeth as a friend and a summer fling and that Jo is the one he wants to spend his life with together , even if it means he has to sacrifice the Wind Dragons MC for her ? Find out in Crossroads by Chantal Fernando. This is an MC group that you will instantly fall in love with and want to be a part of it.
"Love doesn't come easy-there's always a war, or a battle, but it makes you appreciate it more."
Ranger joined the Wind Dragon MC because his best friend Talon was joining. However, Ranger is having doubts and he's still unclear if he wants to remain as part of the club or leave it and start a new civilian life. He hasn't made his final decision when he's asked by Faye to help her search for a missing girl named Elizabeth. When Ranger realizes she's a friend he met and spent time with in Europe many years ago, he knows he can't walk away.
Johanna Chase is a police detective. She's also Elizabeth's cousin. Johanna will do anything to find her cousin and bring justice to the men who took her. She's surprised when the FBI asks Ranger for his help but she knows she's willing to work with him in order to find Elizabeth.
Neither was expecting to like each other. They also weren't looking into anything serious. After all, what can a cop and an MC guy have in common?
The Wind Dragon series is a great MC series. It impossible not to like the characters. As crazy as Faye is, she's still a formidable woman. I love how she messes with everyone's lives. She would do anything for her "family" and she was trying to make Ranger feel at ease as part of the group.
"She grows on you." "Like a fungus."
Crossroads was another fun novel in this series. One of the things I love the most is how the characters interact with each other. Both women and men have great banter. Even so, I do have two complaints. First, it had an insta-love vibe which is not my thing. Second, I wasn't crazy about how the conflict was resolved. It kinda made me sad. Still, I hope for more books in this MC group.
Cliffhanger: No

Crossroads was unlike the previous books in the series. Whereas the previous books all dealt with women who meet/fall in love with a member from Wild Dragons and have to learn to navigate the MC's world, Crossroads felt really detached from it all. When Faye asks for Ranger's help locating a missing woman, his first response is no. However, when he sees who the missing person is, a girl he used to know many years ago, he decides to team up with the local feds to help find her. So, the majority of the book is set off site away from the MC. In fact, there's really very little time spend with the original gang in this book.
Ranger's character wasn't someone I knew too much about in the previous books. He was introduced a little bit, but he never really spent time in the spotlight. Which, based off of his character and the vibe he gives off, Ranger is a bit of a loner. He doesn't seem to really make any bonds or ties to people. He's part of the MC but it doesn't seem like that's his life. So, he was a very interesting character when it came to what you think of when it comes to a MC romance.
When Jo's cousin goes missing, she does everything she can in order to find her. Including, team up with a biker. While hanging out with Ranger goes against everything she's known, she can't help but be drawn to him. Pretty soon they develop this bond that can't be broken. That is, until Jo realizes that her cousin and Ranger go way back. That's when things get a little rocky. Watching Jo struggle between her feelings for Ranger, her career, and her family was probably one of the biggest story arcs of this book. She's a very strong character but we struggled with a lot of things in this story.
Obviously a good portion of the book is of Jo and Ranger looking for Elizabeth. Then the rest is of them trying to figure out their relationship. Obviously her precinct is not okay with her being with a member of the Wind Dragons, and the MC is a little weary of having a cop around. Let's just say that a lot goes down in this book. With that being said, I just didn't feel as drawn to Ranger and Jo as I have to the previous characters. I'm not quite sure why, but they just never fully grasped my attention. Ranger was a great guy and was pretty awesome in the guy department, so I don't know why I never fell in love with this book.
Crossroads definitely lived up to it's name. Not only does it feel like this series is at a crossroads, but the character come to a crossroad in their life as well. While Ranger is part of a MC, this never really felt like a MC romance. Probably because I lot of it was off-site as Ranger and Jo search for Elizabeth. It was still an enjoyable read, it just felt really different from the previous books in the series.
Whenever I pick up a Wind Dragons book, I know I am in for an entertaining book. This addition to the series was no exception. I thought this book was fast-paced, sexy, exciting, and hilarious.
The romance in this book was full of steam and great banter. Johanna and Ranger had a lot of chemistry that seemed almost palpable. They had to overcome a lot of obstacles, and I enjoyed seeing them deal with those issues. Chantal is great at making so many unique couples that all seem so perfect for each other. The only issue I really had with the romance was that gave off insta-love vibes. I am really not a fan of insta-love, so that bothered me throughout the book. Other than that, I enjoyed the romance!
Ranger had an interesting side plot going on in this book, which involved him adjusting to being a Wind Dragon. I thought it added a lot of depth and intrigue to Ranger's character. However, I was not a huge fan of the way that storyline played out.
I loved reuniting with all of the couples from the previous books. The way they all interact with each other is so sweet and hilarious! The Wind Dragons are like one big family and I wish I could be part of that family! I really like how Chantal doesn't forget about the old couples and she makes sure to include them in all of her books.
Overall, this was a suspenseful, steamy, and entertaining book. Fans of this series will be very pleased with this book. I hope that there will be more books in this series in the future because I never want to say goodbye to these characters!

••••••••••
REVIEW: CROSSROADS is the sixth full length installment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary, adult WIND DRAGONS erotic, MC romance series focusing on the men and women of the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club. This is former member of the Wild Men MC Ranger, and police officer Johanna Chase. CROSSROADS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from previous story lines is revealed where necessary although I recommend reading the series in order for cohesion and backstory.
Told from dual first person points of view (Ranger and Johanna) CROSSROADS focuses on the search for a missing woman. Ranger has been tasked to work with the local police on the hunt for a missing woman named Elizabeth-a woman Ranger knows only too well from his earlier days in school. Enter police officer Johanna ‘Jo’ Chase-the missing woman’s cousin- and the woman that calls to Ranger’s heart. What ensues is the forbidden romance between a member of the Wind Dragons MC, and a police officer sworn to uphold the law as they search for not one but several missing females believed to have been abducted by another MC.
The attraction between Ranger and Jo is immediate but Jo knows that to get involved with a member of the Wind Dragon MC could spell disaster for her career and Ranger’s reputation. As the investigation and search for Jo’s cousin builds, so too does the attraction and relationship between our leading couple. The $ex scenes are intimate, seductive and erotic without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including many members of the Wind Dragon MC, as well as Johanna’s partner on the force Travis. Faye and Sin return as well as a number of the other ‘old ladies’ in the Club. It is always fun to watch Faye work her magic with the big, burly bikers including our leading hero.
CROSSROADS is a story about finding love and making choices. Ranger is at a crossroads in his personal and private life. The MC lifestyle is no longer working and he will have to make a decision between his current path or towards a happily ever after with the woman he loves. The premise is intriguing and encouraging; the characters are dynamic and spirited; the romance is emotional, heartwarming and passionate. The conflict between Jo and Ranger focused too much on Johanna’s need to sacrifice love for a family member whose childish behavior caused some unpleasant moments between Johanna and Ranger-I wasn’t a fan but hey….every story needs some sort of conflict!
Oh my word, whenever I see a book in this series coming out I am so excited cause I know I am in for a awesome story. And this one was no exception. I loved this story
I loved Ranger from when he was first introduced to the series. And I felt a bit bad because he was with rival MC. So when he and Talon joined the WDMC I was like
This story was everything you want in a good book. Heartbreak, Thriller, Drama, HOT HOT SEX and so much more.
Ranger and Jo was I would say a perfect match for each other. She challenged him because he needed someone who didn't just do what he says and he challenged her by letting her know its okay to let someone take care of her once in a while. That it doesn't mean you are weak it only makes you stronger.
I loved reading about everyone else. And man Fay was awesome as usual. And that ending was perfect.
Well done Chantal Fernando, every single book in this series was amazing and I loved going on this ride with you.
COPY RECEIVED THROUGH NETGALLEY FOR REVIEW This takes a different spin on the Wild Dragon MC. We still get to visit the other members and get a few laguhs. There is not the usual MC danger. Ranger is a "transfer". He left his old MC and joined the WDMC. He feels out of place and dissatisfied. He is at a crossroads. When Faye asks for help with an outside job, he reluctantly agrees. He has to to save an old friend that has been kidnapped. The friend happens to be Jo's cousin. When he sees Joanna for the first time, his interest is peeked. The sexual tension between the two is off the charts. A relationship between a cop and a biker is not going to be easy. Their relationship is tested when they realize the the cousin has feelings for Ranger. Instead of confessing their relationship, they keep it secret. As always things come to a head. Ranger and Jo must figure out their relationship, her career and his future with the MC. I enjoyed the story because I liked Ranger. He was tough, protective and sweet all roll up into a bada** biker. Jo was a strong heroine. She pretty much had to be as a cop. Great stroy , great epilogue.
Ranger’s story is a bit different than the previous books. His love has hurdles the others didn’t have to face because his love is forbidden and crosses boundaries that affects them both.
But Ranger isn’t like most bikers and the stereotypes are WAY off when it comes to this man. But when his eyes land on Johanna for the first time, that biker/alpha mentality came to their surface. All he wants is to hold her and protect her, even though she can and has been doing herself before he came around.
Their attraction was immediate. Their connection was instant. Their love came fast and strong.
Crossroads is the 6th and latest instalment in Chantal Fernando’s devilishly delicious Wind Dragon’s MC series and is yet another enjoyable read full of sensuality and romance.
Ranger is one of the newest members of the Wind Dragon’s Motorcycle Club, having joined with his best friend Talon from a rival MC and is still trying to find his place in his new brotherhood. Extremely intelligent, Ranger has always felt out of place, even though the Wind Dragons and their women have welcomed him with open arms. So when the former club president’s old lady Faye asks him for a favour with a case she’s working on, his first response is no, but when Ranger discovers the missing woman is someone from his past, finding her suddenly becomes his only sole focus. Even if it means working with the missing woman’s cop cousin. Johanna Chase is determined to find her missing cousin, even if the local authorities have given up. As a police officer she’s willing to use every resource at her disposable, as well as work with a biker if necessary. Ranger and Johanna may be on opposite sides of the law but when sparks fly will the two of them risk it all for a shot at love?
Chantal Fernando never fails to entertain me with her novels and Crossroads is no expectation. Just plain good reading, the Wind Dragon’s MC’s latest release is another well told, well-paced tale that unfolds through both heroine and hero’s POV’s and takes readers on another sexually charged and sensual journey!
Following new Wind Dragon’s member Ranger, Crossroads takes readers away from the clubhouse and on an investigation as Ranger and Jo work closely to find Jo’s cousin who has been kidnapped. Personally I liked this investigative aspect of the story and seeing Ranger and Jo work together to track down Elizabeth and those who have taken her. Fernando balances her romance and the seriousness of the situation well, but at the end of the day, Ranger and Jo can’t fight the attraction they feel.
There’s obviously a forbidden aura to Ranger and Jo’s relationship with her being a cop and him being a biker, but there’s also another threat to their relationship with Ranger’s history and his friendship with Jo’s cousin coming into play. I understand why this was brought into the story and can see the impact it had on the plotline, but I don’t think it was necessary at times either, especially seeing as it became obvious quite quickly where things were heading.
Overall I really liked both Ranger and Jo as characters and as a couple. I liked that Ranger was an intelligent man while also being a sexy biker and that Jo embraced being a cop but didn’t seem to let it affect her femininity or vulnerability as a woman where Ranger was concerned. Crossroads features some sexy love scenes and seeing as Ranger and Jo are attracted to each other from the get go, jump straight into the attraction and chemistry between them.
Entertaining and ending very sweetly, I know Chantal Fernando plans this as the end of the series but I’ll never turn down a Wind Dragon’s MC tale in the future as I love meeting and revisiting the fantastic characters that inhabit this world!

Dzień dobry, robaczki! Dzisiaj wejdziemy w klimat MC i porozmawiamy o szóstym tomie „Wind Dragons MC”. Czytaliście coś z tej serii?
[Współpraca reklamowa z @niezwyklezagraniczne ]
Bardzo lubię twórczość Chantal Fernando. Jej książki czyta się szybko nie tylko przez to, że są dość krótkie, ale styl pisania autorki jest taki przyjemny, komfortowy. Jestem miło zaskoczona, że postanowiła trochę odwrócić schemat tworzenia historii o słynnych motocyklistach Wind Dragons. Zwłaszcza że nastąpiły pewne ciekawe zmiany.
Ranger był na moim radarze już od bardzo dawna i wyczekiwałam, aż będę miała możliwość poznać jego historię. Podoba mi się, jak autorka podeszła do kreacji postaci w tym tomie. Ranger okazał się być motocyklistą, który udowadnia, że ma umysł ostry jak brzytwa i serce, które czekało w uśpieniu na odpowiednią kobietę. Natomiast Jo była w porządku. Nie grała mi na nerwach, ale też nie podbiła mojego serca. Co innego Ranger, ale walka była nierówna w tej kwestii.
Fabuła, jak już wspomniałam, została przełamana. Dostajemy tę bardziej ekstremalną część już na samym początku, żeby później dostać ciszę przed burzą. Trzeba przyznać, że Chantal robiła trochę pod górkę tej parze, ale nic więcej nie zdradzę bo jak już mówiłam, książka nie należy do grubasków i łatwo o niechciany spoiler.
Polecam Wam gorąco serię „Wind Dragons MC”, jeśli lubicie klimat związane z motocyklistami, którzy kochają całym sercem. Albo jeśli szukacie czegoś krótkiego do poczytania przed snem lub do porannej kawki.
I received an ARC through the publisher via Netgalley for reviewing purposes. In no way does this sway my review!
Crossroads is the sixth book in the Wind Dragon's MC series. This is Ranger's story. If you are just now tuning in and skipped a couple of novels in this series, no biggie, these novels can 'technically' be read as a standalone.
Ranger stood beside Talon when their old MC 'Wild Men' crumbled and fell apart. He's still standing beside his best friend, only now they are part of the WIND DRAGONS MC. Talon fits in perfectly but Ranger is standing at a crossroad and which path he chooses only he can decide. Should he stick with the MC life or move on and venture on with his own life?
Jo is a police woman and is on the biggest case of her life, personally and career wise. After her cousin is abducted by a human trafficking ring, Jo makes it her life's mission and won't stop until her cousin is found.
Ranger is enlisted by Faye (Sins Wife) to help Jo find her cousin. He agrees to help when he sees the woman they are searching for was once considered a good friend.
I found this novel interesting, I was curious to see exactly how this would play out.
Jo is a hard-headed, stubborn woman, but when she's alone with Ranger, she unleashes all of her greatest fears and allows her soft sensitive side to shine through. Ranger is this typical bad ass biker on the exterior but inside he is the sweetest man with a heart of gold.
I loved watching Ranger and Jo, both, let their walls down when it comes to the other. Ranger has always hated cops and at the beginning of this novel Jo is no exception, Jo lives by the word of the law, so she knows Cops and Bikers don't mix well together, but the attraction between the two is too strong to ignore!
The twist (every great romance novel has them), OMG this twist, I literally wanted to strangle Ranger for 'withholding' information from Jo.
I'm extremely sad by the fact that the WIND DRAGONS MC series is now officially over, I've loved every character written, every story told, every page turned. Chantal Fernando has given us a world that is breathtaking, heartwarming, and fueled by lust. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing the Wind Dragons with us. The Wind Dragons MC is a series that I will never forget!
I kind of expected the book to be a little less MC involved however it's not so much that their not involved as much as ranger isn't as attached to them as I thought he'd be. It starts of with ranger being pushed by Faye to help out in a case that is closer to home than anyone realises. What start as two complete opposites, basically enemies become lovers. They never had the easy route their jobs/lifestyle was already going to be a wall in the road. It's not so much angsty as it is suspenseful. The story is pretty seemless, the character development is great throughout. I loved hearing from past characters and the fact that a few had a pretty active part in the story.
Ranger for me just seemed like a nomad. Although he's in the MC he never really had any attachments there. I loved that he was a very up front no bullshit kind of guy. He knew what he wanted and went straight for the kill. He does make a few silly mistakes near the end which he does a good job of rectifying however I'm very stumped slightly pissed, a little heart broken and equally in love for what he did for Jo. He's definitely a selfless man when it comes to her and willing to do anything to make her happy.
Jo is also a great lead. She's strong and feisty but soft and sweet when needed. Her character is extremely admirable and her growth throughout is a pleasure to read. She kept surprising me.. I thought she'd fight the attraction more but she didn't. To be fair she was just as upfront with it as him. I enjoyed how loyal she was even if it did bite her in the ass. But the main thing is even when ranger did fuck up she made him work for it without being bitchy. She's fair and cool however I was a little gutted she didn't fight rangers decision at the end, I really wanted her to stand up and fight more for him. (Trying not to give to much away as it's a big shocker in the story).
Their chemistry is seriously smoking. The sex was a hoot! And the banter between them had me chuckling aswell as their relationship with other characters in the book. It has a little of everything in this story and definitely keeps you in your toes. I really enjoyed mostly everything in this book. A few niggly bits that pissed me off a tad however by the end of that cute ass epilogue all was forgiven.
I have a feeling this is the end of this series? It kind of felt finalised however I hope not. There isn't many MC series's out there like this one. I've been a big fan since the beginning so I hope there's more to come.

Only Ms. Fernando can bring a biker and a cop together and do it with such believability. I have wanted to hear Ranger’s story for some time now and I have to say I was not disappointed at all. As a matter of fact I LOVED it. This is a book that you will read in its entirety once you start. Faye has Jo and Ranger team up to find out who kidnapped Jo’s cousin and a person from Ranger’s former life. It was suspenseful and kept you on the edge of your seat. The relationship that then formed between the bad*ss biker, Ranger, and the cop, Jo was a true love story…but done biker style.
Ranger and Jo’s characters were written with style and had me feeling so deeply invested in their relationship. I also loved that the Wind Dragons’ women were also a big part of this story as well. I have always felt that Ms. Fernando had written these women with a strong backbone and were women to be looked up to. That’s not to take anything away for the Wind Dragon MC men because they all still came off just as hot as ever.
This story will bring about many surprises and quite a few emotions. I have to say that when this series ends I’m going to miss all of these people because the author did justice to each and every one of them as far as making you feel a part of their lives. This is a series that if you haven’t read from the start, do yourself a favor and pick up all the books and enjoy.
I received this book from NetGalley as an ARC for a freely given and honest review.
Rangers story is so different than most as he helps out his friend Faye by finding a friend (Elizabeth)has gone missing. Ranger teams up with Johanna who is Elizabeth's cousin and the cop on the case. They work great together on the team and find an instant attraction...but what Jo didn't know was how her cousin felt..Ranger helps find Elizabeth and returns to Wind Dragon MC...Ranger and Jo find that being together has many sacrifices but Ranger does what he must so Joan can continue her dream.. A great addition to the series!!!
