Suspense and Romance and Feels - wrapped up in an attractive package

Picture
I was very excited to receive an ARC from NetGalley and Give Me Books Promotions in exchange for an honest review.  I love Chantal Fernando. In fact, she’s the author that introduced me to the hot MC world with her Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club books. Let’s just say, since then, I’ve become a bit obsessed with the MC world.  

In Fernando’s newest release, Custom Built, a spin off from her Knights of Fury MC series, we meet Bronte. Note, Custom Built can be read as a standalone.  I haven’t yet read the Knights books and I didn’t feel lost. The book is from Bronte’s perspective, so when we are missing info, chances are, she is too.  But, because there are so many characters from the Knights, I fully intend to go back and read those books next, just to expand my knowledge, and of course, to read about those hot MC boys she writes so well.

Bronte is having probably the worst year of her life.  She’s having health problems, she just lost her job, and nothing seems to be going her way.  She is lucky enough to get an admin job at a custom motorcycle shop.  Sure, she knows nothing about motorcycles, but how hard can it be?  The job itself is easy enough, but soon she finds herself at odds with Crow, her boss, and a member of the Knights of Fury MC.  Crow, who is of course drop dead gorgeous, is also broody and standoffish - but only to Bronte it seems.  She’s not sure what she did to get on his bad side, but it definitely rubs her the wrong way.  Soon though, when Bronte finds herself in the centre of a murder conspiracy, much to her surprise, Crow is there for her, along with the rest of the Knights MC and the women who love them.  

I really felt for Bronte and everything she goes through. She’s a strong and determined character.  The romance between her and Crow was sweet and sexy. He’s such a great character - swoon-worthy for sure.  If I was missing anything, I would say it was not seeing a bit from Crow’s perspective.  I always like to get in the guy’s head. Unfortunately we only ever see things from Bronte’s point of view.  In fact, she should have probably been on the book cover instead of Crow…but looking at it again, maybe I should stop complaining.

This book kept me interested and pulled me in quickly and I look forward to more in the Fury world.  Fans of Veronica Mars will like it too since there is the mystery / PI aspect to it.  Custom Built releases today - go download it now!
