Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando brings you the thrilling first book in the Fast & Fury series, fully loaded with intense emotions and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
After losing her job, saying goodbye to a lifelong dream and having an all-around cruddy year, Bronte Pierce needs a break. A job at Fast & Fury might be just the thing to reset her life, even though she knows nothing about custom motorcycles. But taking a job isn’t the same as keeping it, and her fresh start quickly turns into a fresh nightmare.
Starting with her boss. Crow is hardheaded, stubborn and brutally honest. He may be easy on the eyes, but he runs with a motorcycle club and he’s anything but friendly to Bronte. She suspects he has a softer side—just not for her.
Her whole life, Bronte has known that the only person she can truly count on to save the day is herself. But when a single murder turns into a conspiracy and the threat to her life is more than she can handle alone, it’s Crow who comes through—and her newfound family might just become her greatest strength.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The twists of a suspenseful mystery keep the pages turning in the first Fast & Fury romance from Fernando (Temper), despite the lackluster nature of the love story itself. After Bronte Pierce loses her job at a private investigation firm, she finds administrative work at Fast & Fury, a custom bike shop owned and operated by the Knights of Fury motorcycle gang. Her new boss, Crow, initially gives her the cold shoulder, but when they run into each other after hours, a night of sexy dancing changes the direction of their relationship. When Bronte's father dies in mysterious circumstances, Crow provides a shoulder for Bronte to lean on as she teams back up with a former colleague to find out what happened to her father, uncovering family secrets along the way. Though the multilayered mystery will hold readers' attention, Bronte and Crow's developing romance is by-the-numbers. Die-hard fans of the good girl/bad boy trope will find plenty to enjoy, but seasoned romance readers will have seen this all before.
Customer Reviews
See AllLoving this new series from Chantal!
Loving this new series from Chantal! I love that Chantal was able to continue writing in this MC world – after reading the first set of books in this book world I was so excited for it to go on! This book kept me guessing trying to figure out what exactly was going on and who was behind all the trouble and the answers were not a disappointment! After a slew of bad luck, Bronte finds herself single and without a job. Thankfully, her uncle is able to secure her a job and she is excited at the prospect, until she meets Crow and he acts like she’s entitled and unhelpful. Proving him wrong while also attracted to him, she struggles a bit trying to keep her feelings at bay, but once they give into each other the chemistry is amazing! But when devastation strikes in Bronte’s life, Crow proves that he is a great guy and really is there for her while also supporting her on finding out the truth of her father’s death. I truly enjoyed this book and loved the love story between these two. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Unexpected
I read another one of Chantal’s book, ❤️The Dragon’s Lair❤️, and it definitely is a bit different in writing style. I did not care for this book. It seemed choppy and too fast in the story telling. The love part seemed rushed. But it has a good plot, not a good delivery of it.
Not What I Expected
This book was just okay, not what I expected from Chantal Fernando. I’ve read other books from this author and enjoyed all of them very much. This one didn’t have the same feel, it almost seemed like the writing was coming from a completely different author. Was a bit disappointed, it seemed rushed or like the author got lazy with this one.
