He wants to keep her safe. She just wants him.

Damon

As a high-ranking member of the Devils MC, I’m a marked man. It’s why I push Corey away. But once I taste her, keeping her at arm’s length isn’t an option. It doesn’t matter that she’s ten years younger, or that my name will move to the top of her brother’s hit list.

She’s mine.

I’m going to keep her—whatever it takes.

Corey

Nothing’s been the same since I was kidnapped. I don’t know what’s next for me, but I know I want forever with Damon. I have since the moment he kissed me. I don’t care that he’s older, or that my family doesn’t approve. I’ll stand by his side, even when my half brother rolls into town ready to tear the Club apart in his quest for vengeance.

Damon’s mine.

I’m not letting him go. No matter the cost.

REVIEW: LOVE GAMBLE is the third and final instalment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary, adult ANGELS AND DEVILS MC romance series. This is MC Sergeant at arms Damon and Corey’s story line. LOVE GAMBLE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Corey is River and Romeo’s sister.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Damon and Corey) LOVE GAMBLE follows the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Corey’s brother River and Romeo are high ranking members of the Angels and Devils MC, and as such they have declared Corey off-limits to the other members of the MC. Corey and the new sergeant at arms Damon have been dancing around one another for quite a long time, a dance that is about to become personal and real but not before several other women decided they want Damon for themselves. All is not boding well for the Angels and Devils MC when are new MC known as the Lost Lions comes into town, demanding information, threatening the members of the local MC.

The world building follows several pathways including the dysfunctional family dynamics of Corey’s family; the women who come in and out of the members’ lives; as well as the threats against the MC that are personal and dark.

The relationship between Corey and Damon is one of mutual attraction but Corey is off-limits to the members of the Angels and Devil’s MC. Deciding she has had enough of the ‘dance’, Corey forces Damon to make a choice, a choice between her and someone else. The $ex scenes are passionate but mostly implied, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and energetic secondary and supporting characters including Romeo and Julianna, River and Bella, as well as several members of the Angels and Devils MC. There are most stories to tell-I am hoping the author has plans for the other characters.

LOVE GAMBLE is a story of betrayal and obsession, madness and vengeance, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is edgy and impassioned; the romance is seductive; the characters are energetic, intense, and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 26, 2023

Romeo

I was born to rule the Devils MC. Every decision, every move I made was to further that goal—until I met Julianna. Falling in love with the granddaughter of the man who ripped our club apart was not in the cards, especially not now, when it’s finally time for me to take over as president. Duty to the MC comes first, but that battle cry feels empty when it means giving up the woman I love.

Julianna

My greatest sin was being born a woman. I’ve proven my worthiness in spades, but my father still won’t let me lead the Angels MC on my own. I’m nothing but his pawn, to be sold off to the successor of his choice. He wants me to fall in line, give up Romeo and keep the peace, but my loyalty comes with a price.

I’ll fight for what I want, even if it means going to war.

REVIEW:LOVE GRUDGE is the first instalment in Chantal Fernando’s contemporary, adult ANGELS AND DEVILS dark, erotic, MC romance series. This is the new Devils MC president Johnny ‘Romeo’ Montanna, and Angels MC princess Julianna Callistos’ story line, a modern day Romeo and Juliet retelling.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be trigger for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Romeo and Julianna) LOVE GRUDGE follows the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Johnny ‘Romeo’ Montanna is about to step up to the mantle of the Devils MC president, a position long held by the first born sons in his family but Romeo never thought he would meet his Juliet in Julianna Callistos, the only child and daughter of Angels MC president Paulie Callistos, and the Devils MC closest enemy. As a woman, Julianna is unable to assume the position as president, and she has been betrothed to a man she does not love. Falling in love with the enemy means a potential war on the horizon, a war that has been building for many years. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Julianna and Romeo, and the potential fall-out as both MCs must come to terms with sins of the past.

The world building reveals the backstory and hatred between the Devils MC and the Angels MC. Once a single entity, love and threats of destruction broke apart the MC, and in the years to follow, a cool détente ensued.

The relationship between Julianna and Romeo begins by accident. A funeral, a broken-down car, and our couple found themselves caught in the pull of attraction and love. Knowing Julianna was promised to another man, Romeo is determined to claim our heroine as his own but in doing so set into motion a potential war. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

We are introduced to several members of both the Devils MC And the Angels MC including family, friends, and enemies. Not everyone will survive.

LOVE GRUDGE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and murder, acceptance and love The premise is captivating and entertaining; the romance is seductive and fated the characters are determined and charismatic.
