Blurb:

Even by Wind Dragon Motorcycle Club standards, Irish was always a bit of a dark horse. Not one to confide his secrets, such as where he got that mysterious scar across his neck, he’s quick with his fists and even quicker to jump to the defense of his MC. But is he nimble enough to handle the woman he never saw coming? Or will she leave him with a matching scar across his heart?

My Review:

Shorter and faster paced than Fernando's previous books, Dirty Ride is dirty and a wild ride rolled in one. We follow the budding romance of Irish and newcomer Valentina. Valentina or Tina, is running from an abusive past and she runs straight into Irish. Tina is not looking for a relationship but we all know that when the Wind Dragons MC want something they get it. Irish wants her and he sets out to show her that bikers really are not that bad. When Tina's past comes back for her, Irish proves he will do anything to protect her. Things come to a head and Irish proves how far he is willing to go for the woman he loves. 

This books has everything that Fernando's books bring but this one is more compact. The Old Ladies of the MC come out in full force causing trouble as usual. It is one of the most entertaining things about this author's books, finding out what trouble the leading ladies will get into. Romance is there but not as steamy as in previous books. I feel that it works well this way in this book. Focus has to be on developing the story and not trying to get the characters laid. 

I felt that the author dud a great job with this book. It is just what fans need to tide them over until the next full length book.

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Blurb:

When I found my boyfriend cheating on me, I did something stupid.

Or should I say, someone?

Because of that mistake, I’m now stuck in a world I don’t belong in.

I’m a law student. They’re criminals.
He’s the Vice President of a MC. I’m a good girl with a strict upbringing. 

He’s my ex-boyfriend’s brother.
And I’m screwed.

My Review:

Dragon's Lair contains romance that will leave you panting. The connection between Dex and Faye is immediate. They try to fight it but love can not be denied.
Action is in place too. With an MC book it is almost expected. There is some violence but nothing graphic or gritty.
I loved the humor in the story too. It helps to lighten the mood. The author does well to break up the tension in the storyline with humor. Faye's demeanor with the other bikers is hilarious. Especially when she cleans their rooms. The fact that she watches Sons of Anarchy to get tips is funny. I would too, if I was seeing a biker.


My only thing  that I didn't like was that I wished the book was longer. At some points it felt rushed through. I wanted to get to know certain characters more, and I feel I didn't get a chance to.

Overall the book was an enjoyable read. I was able to sit down it get through it in a few hours. I look forward to her next book in the series. I'm sure it will be awesome. I definitely recommend this read for ages 18+.
