BLURB:
A single father struggles to change for his daughters and the woman he loves in this second book in the Cursed Ravens Motorcycle Club series from New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando.
As a single father of two girls and the sergeant at arms for the Cursed Ravens Motorcycle Club, Jack “Knuckles” Chester doesn’t have much free time. And having earned his road name from his reputation as a fighter, Knuckles isn’t one to back away from a challenge.
But what he’ll never admit out loud is that his two daughters have changed him irrevocably, softened him even. And these two girls are the only women who will ever hold his heart forever. That is, until he meets the cousin of another biker’s old lady.
Celina is nothing like the women Knuckles used to date. She’s a journalist for the local newspaper, dresses well, and basically just has her life together. And the last thing she wants is to be involved with a Cursed Raven. But when the ripped, badass biker worms his way into her heart, she has trouble remembering all the reasons they would never work.
But when a scandal at her newspaper breaks the thin trust she has with Knuckles, will she walk away for good? Or will Knuckles fight to keep Celina in his life?
Knuckle Down is the second book in the Cursed Ravens MC series. This is Knuckle’s story. Knuckle is not only the Sergeant at Arms of the MC, he’s also a single father to two beautiful daughters. He not only does what it takes to protect his club but also what it takes to protect his family.
Knuckle’s swore to himself that he would never let another woman back in, given the horrible relationship he had with his girl’s mother, who would blame him. A relationship is nothing if there isn’t trust and Flora proved over and over again that she couldn’t trust Knuckles..
Celina is a journalist for one of the biggest newspapers in her town. Her dream has always been to have her article on the front page. When her cousin Erin invites her to the MC clubhouse for Erin’s birthday party, she didn’t go with the intention of finding a man. But when she meets Knuckles all bets are off the table.
One thing I loved about this novel is how independent Celina is. I loved her strength throughout this novel. I also loved the fact that Knuckles respected her independence and let Celina have her way. As these two became closer I learned that each of them is tearing down the others walls. These two are more similar than I thought.
I am a sucker for a single father romance, especially when that single father is a member of a Motorcycle Club. I love the fierceness that comes along with the character, the promise of doing anything to protect what’s his.
Overall, I really enjoyed Knuckle Down. This was a fast read for me, with compelling storytelling and an on the edge of your seat romance, I was intrigued. However, I did rate this a 4 out of 5 stars due to the insta-love concept and the somewhat predictability that came along with it. I did love Knuckle but, so far in this series, Ace is still my favorite.
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
