Aaaah, where to start? How about with saying there are very few MC genre authors that I still read, and Chantal Fernando is right at the top of them.

I am loving this next gen, Knights and Dragons series, love seeing the OG Wind Dragons watching their kids all grown up and having kids of their own.

Natalie has chosen a path that takes her well away from the clubhouse, but still she can't escape it, or the men involved.

And then there is Atlas. Wow, do I like this man. And so does our Natalie.

Things do carry over a bit from the previous two book in the Knights and Dragons, but you could dive in with this book, and whilst you might miss some things, you are still going to enjoy it.

I hope we get many more MC books from Ms Fernando.

The third installment in Fernando's Knights and Dragons series is the strongest yet. Natalie Ward has been raised in club life. Wanting something else for her life she becomes and lawyer and vows to never date a biker. Atlas takes her vow as not only an affront but a challenge. Continuing storylines, and danger from previous books this installment is best read in order. The chemistry between Natalie and Atlas is quite good and most of the angst and drama comes from other characters or circumstance not related to the romance, which is somewhat a departure from the previous books in the serious. I very much enjoyed this quick read, there were real stakes, I only wish they were explored a bit more. This is 3.5 star read that I am bumping to 4 stars based on the ease of readability alone. Would recommend to contemporary romance readers, especially those looking for somewhat light on on page violence in the motorcycle club sub-genre.

Child of a motorcycle club, Natalie has chosen a different life and is now a high-powered lawyer. She doesn’t date bikers but then she meets Atlas who is quite firmly an MC member. Sparks fly!

Atlas is such an incredible man. He really listens and when they have conflict, they talk about it. I appreciate that there isn’t too much angst. I know some love that angst but I read to see the flow of love and though I know there will be conflict I don’t like that conflict to last the whole book. But I digress.

When a mutual enemy shows up, as a client at Natalie’s law firm, no less, there’s no way to remain uninvolved- from the conflict and from each other.
Natalie is so strong and smart and independent and Atlas doesn’t try to rein her in. He supports her and she loves him, biker or not. She accepts that she’s fallen for a biker and trusts her feelings rather than holding on to her no-bikers policy.

There are some nice steamy sexy bits to liven things up- if searching for the bad guy isn’t enough. It can be read as a standalone but I think it’d be best read as part of the series. Some of the relationships between the ensemble cast are a bit confusing.

Thanks to NetGalley and Carina Press for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Introduction
Answering Atlas is the third installment in the series and this is where we get Atlas' story. This book was just as charming as other MC romance that I have read from this author. I absolutely adored this one, it had such a cute flair to it. And its not dark MC or anything, so most contemporary readers will get a kick out of this one. There is something so well balanced in how Chantal Fernando writes her books, and Answering Atlas is no different. The romance was delightful and had me highly entertained all the way through. If you love fun angst, then Answering Atlas needs to be on your list.

The Hero: Atlas

Summary
It sets of with Natalie Ward, who is the daughter of the prez of the Wind Dragons MC. She has always been the serious one out of the family and has been wanting an identity outside of the MC world. She wants to maintain her own independence. As much as she loves her family, she wants something more from her life. Then drops in the bad boy Atlas, who is sexy and charming and makes her smile even though she wants to battle him for wits. As Atlas and Natalie work through their sexual tension and witty banter, Atlas is looking for thier enemy who has been attacking the mutual MC's and is a dangerous one. But will Natalie's career be battled with her love of Atlas and her family and put them all at risk?

My Outlook
I absolutely had a blast with this installment. Chantal Fernando is such a delight to read, and every time I pick up one of her books, it just brings a smile to my face. I couldn't seem to get enough of the angst in this one. It was so WELL DONE! And I am super picky about angst, but in this book, it was so delightful. I just couldn't seem to get enough of it. I also was so drawn into their bantering, the whole them denying their attraction and learning to be honest with each other. I do like that the hero pushed the heroine's buttons and made her reflect on herself in a very real way. I was laughing my head off through this book because of how they engaged with each other, and that is not a common experience for me, but Fernando really balanced out the humor and sexual tension so well in this one.

I really wasn't a fan with the ending though and the outcome of the "serial plot". I won't spoil what it is but It was a struggle to read and I was hoping that there would be a book for this character that is lost.

Overall View
Answering Atlas was such an endearing book and I just wanted more of it. There is a great plot line, some real lessons learns, a gravitating romance that immediately captivates the reader, and builds into a beautiful story to cheer on!

Okay this book has made it into my top 3. I LOVED this so much it’s not even funny. What first drew me to this book was the name Atlas. I’ve always said if I have a son I would want to name him Atlas and this character just made me love the name even more. I am obsessed with this character and wow I could not be more satisfied with him.
This book was totally spicy and kept me hanging onto each word. My expectations have been exceeded!
I did not read the first two books, but you best believe I will be adding those to my TBR. I feel that this could be a stand alone, but I’m so excited knowing there are more in this series. If I could rate this book six stars I would.
Thank you Netgalley and Carina Press!

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC. I apparently missed some books prior to this one, which I fully plan to rectify. As a stand-alone I still completely enjoyed this. The storyline itself was even better than the sex scenes and I have to admit I skipped over most of the sex so I could keep going with the action! I was totally rooting for these characters! Great writing.

Omg Another great book!! This author is definitely one of my one click authors I swear I haven't ever read a book by her that I didn't like! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, intrigue, action, even romance and it was hot hot hot! I highly recommend reading this book and series! They're well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me! Thank you Chantal Fernando for your amazing words!! I can't wait for more!

Natalie and Atlas met after Natalie met his brother first. Mistaken identity and all. She is NOT into bikers whatsoever. And she makes this known. He slowly wins her over. There is the bikers theme of someone out to them and they are in fear of their lives. There isn’t much spice in this, but it is implied. I enjoyed this book and was entertained throughout. Nice addition to the series.

I received this ARC through the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing this book, opinions are my own.

MC romances are my favorite genre and this book met all my expectations. This is a story about love, trust and loyalty and takes us on a lifelong journey of a girl who wants a different life away from her MC roots and a guy who is a proud member of a rival MC club.Their story is full of ups and downs and some unexpected and unpleasant situations, but together they will fight for their family.
I loved the book and Chantal Fernando never disappoints me.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this opportunity .

When it comes to MC drama, I look no further than Chantal Fernando, and I’ve got to say, she’s nailed it with the Knights & Dragons series. Natalie Ward, daughter of the infamous president of the Wind Dragons MC, has always said she would never date a biker, but that was before she met Atlas. No matter how much she tries to avoid him, and the pull she feels towards him, it appears that they are destined to run into each other at every turn. When both their MCs are under attack, working together on their common goal to catch their enemy before he catches them makes her realise that, maybe, she was wrong. Lots of action, sexy time, and a surprise or two as they navigate being together. I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest review.

What a read! Natalie has worked her whole life to set herself apart from the MC she grew up in, and that includes staying away from MC guys in potential relationships. She meets Atlas and instantly judges him, especially when she finds out she actually met his twin brother the night before, and Atlas is determined to show her how judgmental she is and how different he is. Fate intervenes and continues to put them in situations together, and when Natalie finally lets Atlas in, it’s instant the chemistry and understanding between them. Throughout all this, there is some dramatic situations both in Natalie’s job as well as the MC going after Marko, which has been an ongoing plot through the past few books in the series, and the ending was one that I didn’t see coming and had me in literal tears. My heart broke for Atlas in the end of this and I was rooting for Natalie and him to pull through, and the ending of this book surprised me as well with what happens with not only this couple, but also Rhett and the other MC. I can’t wait to see what Chantal gives us next from these characters after such an explosive ending in this book!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Answering Atlas by Chantal Fernando is book three in the Knights & Dragons series. The book focuses on Atlas and Natalie. Natalie was born into the Wind Dragons MC and is the youngest daughter of Rake. A hard-working lawyer, she doesn’t really want anything to do with the MC and definitely doesn’t wat a relationship with any man associated with it. That is until she meets Atlas, mistaking him for his twin, she is quite judgmental, and it is only with Atlas putting her in her place that they kind of become frenemies who are attracted to one another.

Throw into the book a lot of drama not only between the two main characters but also the MC’s and you have yourself an intriguing mix, especially when Natalie has to choose between her client’s confidentiality and her family (it definitely doesn’t go well). Atlas also goes through his own trials and tribulations throughout the book and there are moments of heartbreak for many of the characters.

If you’ve read previous books by Chantal Fernando, you’ll know some of the characters and it was great to see some of them older and wiser. This is another great addition to the series, and it will be interesting to see what happens next.

ARC received for a fair, honest and sometimes long review. All opinions are my own. 😊

Answering Atlas😍

Answering Atlas is the next book in this Knights and Dragons MC crossover series. It features Atlas, one of the twin brothers and Natalie, youngest daughter of Rake from the Wind Dragons🙃

Atlas knows the minute he sees Natalie that she’s his, but unfortunately she is a little resistant to “dating” bikers since she grew up with the Wind Dragons and her dad is a member. But Atlas is not ready to give up. The danger that has been following them all finally rears it’s head and it appears Natalie is the target😢

Oh my gosh one part of this story absolutely broke my heart💔 I’m devastated to say the least but you’ll have to read it to find out why😭 Another fantastic story by Chantal and I’m eager to see what book she had lined up for us next. I received an advanced copy and willingly leave my honest review❣️

Be warned, there are some tough times ahead. Natalie and Atlas may not seem to work on paper, and first impressions could’ve definitely been better, but these two sure feel like they’re meant to be. They’ve got chemistry, respect for that which matters, and love growing between them. They also communicate, which is an incredible treat any day to me!

But we have problems. Marko is still looking for revenge, two MCs are involved now, family is involved on all sides, and there’s serious worry that not everyone will survive this time around. Natalie is incredibly strong and certain that she can help this end, Atlas will lose his mind when he finds out her plan, and alliances are changing around them. When it all falls apart, we have to wonder who’s going to be okay, who’s running away, who’s not running anywhere ever again, and if there’s even a future for one or both MCs once the dust settles. It’s still a ride I don’t regret, though some strong emotions are felt and tears are shed. I just wonder which way a certain President will decide to go for his future….

4.25 stars My first 2023 read is in the books and I love this series. I hope there's more to it. My heart broke for Atlas and this has quite a few twists and turns. I volunteered to read and review an early copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I could hardly put this thrilling book down. The plot was pretty intense and certainly gripped me. It had plenty of tension and atmosphere. I certainly am interested in this series and will be doing a deep dive at my earliest convenience.

I really enjoyed this one!
Natalie meets a hot biker one night at a bar and turns him down. The very next night he hits on her again. Only, it’s not the same man!
They are identical twins.
Atlas is not the type of man she wants to be attracted to… she wants to be attracted to business men… not the same type of men she grew up with. So yes, she instantly judged him by his looks. He forgives her though and next thing you know, they are a couple. An absolute sweet couple. But can she stick with him when life gets tough????

Rated 3.5 Stars

Answering Atlas was an enjoyable read. It was sweet and sexy. It was a quick and easy read. There were some continuity issues but it didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the story. I liked the characters and I'm definitely looking forward to reading more by this author.

I received an ARC for Answering Atlas. This was my first book from this author. WOW! I loved it. The dynamic between Atlas and Natalie is fantastic. It is so refreshing to read a book where the relationship is mature and nontoxic. I love me a toxic love every now and then but this story was fantastic. I was invested in the storyline the whole time. I love that it is a standalone and wrapped up nicely!
