Fallen Princess is a pretty straightforward story: MC princess secretly becomes cop. This book does connect to both the Cursed Ravens MC series and her legal series (but that is just a name drop), but you don't have to have read either to understand. Honestly, you don't have to have read the previous books in this series to enjoy Clover's story. Clover is the daughter of the former Wind Dragons president and has always been a stubborn, strong willed child. She wanted to be a cop but feared her parents wouldn't approve so she moved to another city and joined the police force there.I liked Clover as a heroine because she tough, smart, and yet still impulsive and reckless. She comes off as a believable young woman-she is trying to figure out who she wants to be and how to get there and she makes some mistakes along the way. I loved Felix for her. At first, he is kind of douchey, but he really respects her. He was great for her in her professional and personal life. They had a few communication issues which I find annoying, but honestly, it worked in the story and these issues weren't the main plot point.My biggest struggle with Fallen Princess is the struggle I have had with the last few Fernando books I've read: they seem lacking in depth. There is a lot going on in the plot and all of it seems glossed and not fully explored. I felt like any one of the plot points could have been the focus of the story instead of all of them being thrown in. You have the story of a MC girl sneaking away to be a cop, you have the subplot of the drug dealer she is trying to take down, then you have the dirty cops who want to use her, then you have the mystery of Felix's dad's death....its just a lot and any one of them would have made a great story. All of them together made Fallen Princess feel unfocused and, at times, rushed. It should be noted that despite that, I still devoured the story. I found myself thinking about it frequently when I was interrupted by mundane things like my job or my need for food.
MC books are one of my favorites to read. This one is right up there as one of the best. I loved the conflict going on with Clover and her choice to be a cop. This one was so good, I loved Felix and how he accepted Clover for who she was. It's packed full of action and suspense. I can't wait to read more from this series.
Fallen Princess was advertised as “perfect for fans of Kristin Ashley, Julie Ann Walker, and Joanna Wylde”, as a KA and Reaper’s Fan, I was intrigued because I’ve never read any work from the Wind Dragons MC. The twisty plot was engaging and the dangerous encounters were fascinating. However, even though the story was written in first person, I feel like I’m reading the story from the outside as narration instead of feeling the depth of the characters’ actions and emotions. I’m not sure if the reason for not feeling the connection was because I jumped in mid-series. It was still a delightful experience to see a biker princess turned cop who fell for her charming partner. Clover and Felix were likeable characters and I love the witty banter between them. The reaction to Clover’s choice of her beau from her close-knitted Wind Dragons family was hilarious. Overall, I enjoyed this suspenseful and forbidden romance.
This story was definitely different in the Wind Dragons line. Did not see Clover’s choice of jobs but it was nice. Felix was a little too perfect. I would have liked more angst and more suspense. It was very MC-lite, in case you were expecting more. But I did like Clover and Felix together. Just a feel-good story.
For so long Clover Black has only known life as the daughter of a biker, but now she is stepping outside of that world to create a life of her own... and she has decided that those rules she learned a long time ago no longer apply to her. Growing up she learned that associating with cops was a no-no, but that didn't stop her from dreaming about being one, unbeknownst to her parents of course.
So she went to college, went to the academy, and now has a shiny badge and gun to prove it... but she still hasn't found the courage to tell her family what she does for a living. She told them a little white lie about her career, and with them being far enough away she has been able to maintain appearances, and keep the white lie going... but all that is about to change!
Fallen Princess is a suspenseful and uber sexy tale that will have you captivated from start to finish! The moment these wonderful characters wandered onto the page I found myself enamored with them and their intriguing story, it had many highs and lows that reeked havoc on my emotions and stirred up a case of the feels. It was so fun to be reunited with all my favorite Wind Dragon characters and meet their children, I really hope there are more stories to come for this second generation! I loved this one, it had steamy times to curl the toes, suspenseful action to keep me on the edge of my seat, and loads of emotion to tug on the heartstrings!! Well done Ms. Fernando, you have once again left me dazzled with your well crafted words, and perfectly designed characters!! Highly recommend!
I requested an advanced copy of this title from NetGalley, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
So nice to read about a grown up Clover.
I love the Wind Dragon series and really wanted a next generation series. I hope this is the start of it.
When Clover was child, she met a police woman who was kind to her. This meeting made her realize she wanted to become a cop as well.
Felix Banks has always wanted to be a cop, his father died being a cop and doing the right thing and he wants to be one. But his father was killed by a member of a MC. This is problem since Clover's family are the Wind Dragons MC.
A great story.
If you haven't read the MC series, do it now. They are in audio as well.
I received an ARC for an honest review.
When a girl grows up with parents like Dex and Faye you know that your destiny in life is something no one could predict.
Clover is the MC Princess. Her mother maybe a lawyer but cops are not their friends. Clover deciding to take a path in law enforcement is something she knows her family won’t approve of so she keeps it a secret. That’s the good thing about growing up the child of Dex and Faye...you know how to keep secrets.
Felix sees Clover and thinks she is a mouthy woman that is playing at being a police officer. Once he gets to know her and her heart he sees her for what she is. His.
All good things must come to and end. Or so they say. Clover has hard decisions to make. Her love of her family and Felix is on the line.
This suspenseful romance will keep you guessing until the end!
ARC given via Author and Netgalley - what can I say... I loved all the Wind Dragon Men books.. this one was no different. I love reading all these stories when these authors do the next gen series.. love reading about the kiddos.
Clover Black is the MC's princess She is the daughter of the former president of the WDMC - She knew from a very young age that she wanted to be a Cop when she got older. Knowing that this would boad well with her parents and the rest of the MC -
Felix Banks has always wanted to be a cop as well - His father was one and he just knew that is what he wanted to do as well.. but when his father was KIA and he was told that is was a MC member that did it.. this put a bad taste in his mouth about the MC life.
Felix and Clover are partnered up - Clovers original partner couldn't deal with her so she gets set with Felix..
So what happens when 1 Clovers parents find out she is a cop and has been hiding this from them, and 2 when Felix finds out that her family is a MC? You need to read this book.. actually the entire series for that matter..
This was a super fast read.. I loved it!!
I have read all the books in Chantal Fernando’s Wind Dragons and Cursed Ravens series. She is an incredible writer and story teller. The characters in her stories are always intriguing, some I absolutely love and others I am compelled to absolutely loathe. I can count on Chantal to create characters that are like living breathing entities, with all the depth and complexity of real humans. That includes personality flaws that make them all the more real.
I enjoyed reading this book and having the opportunity to visit some previously loved characters and even some cross over characters. I am not sure if it was the excitement built up over reading this next installment that perhaps built the bar too high. But to me this book felt subpar to her usual books. The writing was still awesome and the plot potential was huge. But overall, the plot felt rushed and emotions were glossed over. Maybe the plot didn’t have strong enough elements to it or the characters didn’t portray emotions during the trauma that I would’ve typically expected, but everything felt very glossed over, leaving me with an empty feeling.
While I enjoyed the book, this one just didn’t hit it completely out of the park for me as her other books have. I’ll still always be a fan and look forward to her next book.
I apologize. I dint read the synopsis before requesting it. I am extremely picky with my MC romance books. I don’t read those with biker and cop romantically involved. I don’t like the dynamic. At all..
Clover has always been a part of the Wind Dragon series. She stole the hearts of all the MC members along with all the readers of this series. When I found out that she was getting her own book I knew it was a must read for me. While I enjoyed the book it didn't do for me what her parents, and the the other MC members books did. It didn't have all the feels I'm use to getting with this series.
I liked how this story started. It really threw a wrench into what I was expecting of this book. I liked how it was playing out, but it felt rushed. Things weren't happening organically, they were being shoved along to get the story going. I wanted a more relax flow to this book where I could really get to know the characters.
I LOVED getting to revisit all the MC members that we know and love while getting a glimpse at some of the younger members of the club. I'm still looking forward to more books from this series. This was a good book it just didn't stick with me like others in this series has.
I love Chantal Fernando’s MC books and her writing.
I have been excited for Fallen Princess and to finally read Clover's, (Faye and Sin’s daughter.) story.
Clover has always wanted to be a cop and unbeknownst to her MC family she has become one. She also falls for her partner Felix- which is her complete opposite!
I do wish for a little more MC life in the book, but it was still a good read.
Is It Possible That a MC Princess Becomes a Legit Cop?!
The Wind Dragons MC Princess has fallen to the “dark side”?! That’s what many from her family would think when she finally lets them in on the secrets she’s been hiding. Dex and Faye’s little girl has grown up to be the bad*ss reflection of both of her parents and has become a cop which makes her extremely lethal seeing she knows how the “bad guys” live as well. All she wanted to do was help people which also makes her into an exceptional choice. It surely doesn’t hurt any that her new senior partner is also at the top of his game and he is one fine specimen of a man as well.
I have loved this series and was excited when Clover was going to be given her book and what made me love this book even more was how all the “old” bikers were brought in to this story. I still love them all and now with the next generation growing up I look forward to more to come from the Wind Dragons MC.
I spent the majority of this book rolling my eyes. We’re constantly being told (by Clover herself no less) how smart and amazing she is yet it never occurs to her that the academy would do a background check and know she’s related to a MC. At the beginning of the book she is so whiny and immature, constantly complaining and disregarding what her partner tells her, which being a rookie, everyone outranks her and (at least in America) all rookies have training officers which are there to, gasp, train you. But she has a total disregard for how policing works.
She gets paired up with a new partner, Felix, who she all of the sudden decides to listen to because he’s what, hot? Her partner (who’s technically her superior) makes the first move even though he’s on the fast track and dating your partner is most definitely not the way to get there. There was no tension, no chemistry between the two. I don’t even know why they liked each other besides the fact that he’s hot. I wanted more of that forbidden romance, trying hard to stay away from each other and follow the rules. But they jump right in to a relationship without really even knowing each other.
Then there’s this “twist” near the end and even though it was suppose to be suspenseful, I laughed out loud. Everything about this plot was ludicrous and not what I expected from a MC romance.
"You know you grow up with bikers when being a police officer is the 'dark side'."
I've been a fan of the Wind Dragons MC series for a while and was very excited to read Fallen Princess. The synopsis was a big tease and I've been so intrigued by the idea of a biker princess becoming a cop behind her family's back. Especially since I already met and love said family. That revelation was a disaster waiting to happen and I couldn't wait to witness it.
Clover being all grown up really makes me feel old. But that didn't keep me from enjoying all the sexy times between her and Felix. I also enjoyed the time she spent with her besties. The witty banter between characters is one of my favorite things when reading a Chantal Fernando book. Her dialogue is so smooth I feel like I'm in the same room with the characters and always seem to embarrass myself by laughing out loud in public.
Another thing I enjoyed is the suspense. I kept waiting for badass Clover to show the police department how it's done. I knew with her being a woman she was sure to get picked on and I couldn't wait for her to show them up. What better training could she have ever received than being raised with a bunch of caveman bikers, right?
And when the shit hits the fan, what's better than having a biker family to back you up? Nothing. Yeah, I knew they would be pissed when they found out what she'd done behind their backs. And yes, I was worried right along with her as she procrastinated about spilling the beans. But, I never doubted they'd love her unconditionally. It's Felix I wasn't so sure about. Bringing your #HotCop boyfriend home to the clubhouse is not on the acceptable behavior for biker princess to-do list. Nope, it's how you end up the discussion topic in the 'WDMC Chat Group'. Wouldn't you love to stalk that group? I sure would!
ARC received for an honest review
Chantal Fernando - who is this woman, and what have you done with little Clover?
It was great to get back into Wind Dragon's world, seeing where the guys and their ladies were at.
I was intrigued as to Clover's choice of employment, however as the story continued, I could understand why she went that route.
I love how strong, fierce and fearless she is - however in this book, I could feel her selfishness come through the pages too, and I wasn't expecting that of her.
Love, lust, betrayal - Clover goes through it all in this book. I mean, who can she really, truly trust?
Enter Felix, and I am all hellooooo! *fanning myself* arrest me officer, I have committed some kind of felony!
I was always waiting for the shoe to drop, and when it did - I don't know, I was just expecting more. Don't get me wrong, I like how things were dealt with like adults, however I wanted a big blow up. But that is just the kind of person I am hahaha.
I love, love loved getting more of the WDMC - especially my man Tracker! Oh, how I adore that man!
I do hope that we do get more of Wind Dragons - The Next Generation in the future.
I have been ridiculously excited for this book for what seems like forever. The Wind Dragon's princess deserved one kick ass story and I am happy to report that she definitely got it. Clover Black is MC family through and through, there's no doubt about it, but in her own story we also see that she's also more than that. Taking on the world as just Clover and not the Princess of the MC she has a lot to figure out and discover about the world outside of her family. Which also leads her into the arms of one sexy as Officer Felix Banks.
Clover had a really great story to tell, it was more than just a romance, it was also getting to see her find herself and who she truly is. Even when it led her back to the family she wanted to separate from. I really loved that we got to see her struggle with who she is and that the romance part of the story came in and helped her with that discovery. She and Felix might not have seemed like a good fit at first, with her being part of an MC and him a devoted officer, but they went on to prove that stereotype wrong.
Overall, I'm already huge fan of this series but even if I wasn't already I would have been after reading this book. It was just a brilliant story and I loved the pace of it, the sweetness of it, and also the intrigue of waiting to see what exactly Sin was going to do when he found out about Clover. Definitely a must read!
Clover Black is all grown up and making decisions of which she knows her parents will not approve. When an MC princess decides to be a police office it requires a lot of secrets, secrets kept from her family, secrets kept from her sexy new partner. What Clover never realized is that maybe some of her secrets are not really so secret at all.
I have read almost every book in this series and was so excited to see how Clover would turn out. I did not expect her career choice and it was fun watching the drama unfold within the Wind Dragons when they realize what is happening. To me Felix was kind of a bland, too good to be true hero but he worked with the story. I was really all on board when the book just went a step too far for me. There was a point where it could have ended nicely but it had to have one more dramatic twist that did not work for me at all. Still this is a series that I love to turn to when I need something that I can curl up with and consume in one sitting.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I have read Chantal Fernando's books before, and just like the others, this one swept me off my feet! She has two MC series, one featuring the Wind Dragons MC (of which this book is a part) and the other featuring the Cursed Ravens MC. This is the first one I have read in the Wind Dragons series, and I must say that I am compelled now to go read the other books. I loved the Cursed Ravens books for the same reason I liked this one - passionate alpha men, strong take-no-prisoners women, and complex families that will do anything to protect their own.
Clover Black is the Princess of the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club. She is also a police officer, a secret she is keeping from her family, whose reaction would be terrible if they knew. Working each day to prove herself in a largely-male police department, she struggles to maintain her drive and commitment to the path she has chosen. When she gets a new partner, Felix Banks, the struggle takes a turn for the better...and the worse. Felix encourages her to become a better cop and supports her as she finds her strengths and weaknesses. They soon have feelings for each other that go beyond partners. But if her family would flip out if they found out she became a cop, how would they react if they knew she had also fallen in love with one?
I loved the dynamic between Clover and Felix! Felix is a naturally dominant man and Clover is a naturally dominant woman, so they clashed quite a bit in the beginning. It was fun to see Clover put Felix in his place and assert herself as his equal, and his respect for her grew so much from that initial set-down. Their background were very different - his father was a police officer and hers is a former MC president, The odds were not in their favor, but to get cliche with it, it felt like their souls recognized each other from the start. They clicked immediately, and their romance blossomed into something that tugged at my heartstrings. Everyone has multiple sides to them, and so often in romance an alpha male is presented as just that - alpha. But Felix had so much depth to his personality, and Clover brought out the best in him. They both learned a lot from each other. The secondary characters nicely complimented them as characters as well, and Clover's family was a riot! I loved the relationship between her parents, and I could see Clover and Felix being like that when they get older.
This book is going straight to my Favorite Books of 2019 list! Its cast of characters and mix of drama and humor made this book an enjoyable read for any reader of romance.
Loved it! This is Clover and Felix book, clover is the princess of the wind dragons Mc , growing up in the MC Clover is expected to love a certain way but she does the unthinkable and goes to the police academy to be a cop!! Felix is a police officer and is
assigned a new partner, Clover Black! They both struggle with their chemistry towards each other but as they get closer to each other Clover thinks Felix is using her to get info on her daddies MC!! This book was definitely good and a little different than the normal Mc book! I definitely recommend reading the whole series and this book! Don't miss out on this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
