Synopsis:

The New York Times bestselling author of the “swoon worthy and addicting” (Kim Karr, New York Times bestselling author) Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club series is back with more bad boy bikers in this first novel in the Cursed Ravens Motorcycle Club series.

Erin Dawson had the perfect life growing up in a perfect home with a perfect family. Her parents gave her and her sister everything a child could want. But after learning that the man she’s called “dad” her whole life isn’t actually her biological father, Erin is determined to find the man who is.

Armed with her original birth certificate, she finds her father, but begins questioning if her mom had been right all along to keep this information buried. It turns out he is the president of a motorcycle club, which could not be further from the life Erin leads. But, she’s determined to get to know the man who she gets her striking blue eyes from. Despite getting what she wants and finding her biological father, it’s the slightly older, much rougher but incredibly sexy biker Ace that catches Erin’s eye.

As the new “princess” of the Cursed Ravens, Erin is learning a whole new world, but her father has made it clear she is off limits. Will Ace follow his President’s orders or will he put his heart ahead of his duty? A sizzling tale of family and passion, Ace of Hearts features Fernando’s signature “snark and sass” (Booklist) and is perfect for fans of Kristin Ashley.

Ace of Hearts is the first novel in The Cursed Ravens MC series by Chantal Fernando. When I first heard Chantal Fernando was going to write a new MC series I was so freaking excited. I’m a huge fan of the Wind Dragons MC series, and I have a feeling after reading Ace of Hearts I’m going to love this series equally, if not more!

Let’s talk a little bit about Ace of Hearts!

Ace of Hearts is told in Erin’s points of view. Erin Moretti was born with two loving parents in the typical small town country lifestyle. She’s had the same close friend since elementary and the typical teenage boyfriend drama. But still she always felt something was off. When she discovers a secret involving her original birth certificate and some other man’s name listed as her father. She decides to give it a go and meet the man whose blood runs through her veins. After a heart to heart with her mom, she learns her father is in a motorcycle club.

I loved Erin’s strength and stubbornness throughout this novel. I found it hilarious that she was a, balls to the wall fireball, and didn’t put up with anybody’s crap. However, when you have a character that shows so much strength as Erin, it’s a hard thing to watch said character go through heartbreak. My heart twisted when she discovered the people she thought she could trust where only out to gain for themselves.

But as we all know, there are three sides to every story… her side, his side, and the truth.

Carson ‘Ace’ Kendrick is the treasurer of the Cursed Ravens MC. He’s also the official club manwhore and ultimately the man who captures Erin’s attention. Ace has never been in love, until Erin stomps through the clubs doors with a whole new level of determination he’s never before seen. He has no choice but to be all in. That is until his club president who also happens to be Erin’s estranged father puts his foot down and threatens any brother who decides to cross the invisible line he’s drawn.

I freaking loved the hell out of ACE! This man is swoony, sexy, and knows what he wants. He’s not above breaking a few rules in order to obtain what he wants even if it means going against his president. But Ace has secrets that Erin is unaware of. The only thing I disliked about Ace was the fact that he had so many damn chances to be real with Erin about what was going on…. However, he took too damn long and shit escalated fast! Ugh… men!

Chantal Fernando is an author who can guarantee sweet and sexy in her novels! This is an important fact for me, as a reader. I need the sweet to go along with the sexy in order to justify the character chemistry. With that being said, I felt the chemistry between Ace and Erin from the start. I loved the romantic and friendship bond that these two have. It’s a bond that is simply unbreakable even through all the obstacles thrown their way, I knew these two would make it.

I also loved the bond between Erin and the other characters in this novel. Supporting characters are also an important factor for me, especially given the fact that this is a companion series. The supporting characters need to have a sensible roll and a strong vibe in order for me to continue on with the series. I am completely obsessed with these characters….already! I am needing more from the Cursed Ravens MC men in my life!

Overall, I can safely say Ace of Hearts by Chantal Fernando is a novel that I will be highly recommending all over the place! I loved the relationships, the friendships, and the strong connections between characters. I also loved the fact that there is a little suspense mixed in which will keep you guessing! If you are a lover of MC Romance, like I am, definitely pick up Ace of Hearts!

I cannot wait to read Knuckle Down and Going Rogue!
This series is going to be entertaining and hot as hell!
Bring it on!
