Temper (Knights of Fury, #3)

by Chantal Fernando

[Nadz@Totally Addicted to Reading]

Temper by Chantal Fernando is the third novel in the Knights of Fury series; however, I believe it can be safely read as a standalone. The couples from the previous books feature heavily in this installment, so reading those would be helpful. I decided to accept this book for review purposes because I found the synopsis intriguing. I didn’t know what to expect seeing that the author was new to me, but it turned out to be entertaining.

Twice per year for the past five years, Temper would visit the bar where Abbie works and ask her out. However, each time she says no. Finally, in the fifth year she accepted his offer. The date turned out better than she expected, but near to the end danger came knocking and Abbie’s world would turn upside down.

Temper is the president of Knights of Fury motorcycle club. He gained the nickname Temper due to his tendency to fly of the handle. His members we would see a different side to him and they had Abbie to thank for it. She brought out his softer side, which amazed everyone.

Abbie is sweet tempered and almost everyone loved her. One could understand Temper’s attraction towards her. I admired how adapted even though the circumstances were less than ideal. She was the epitome of the quote, ‘when life gives you lemons you make lemonade’. Despite her sweetness, she proved to be fierce when it came to protecting those she loved.

This being a biker romance, one would expect a dark and gritty story. Instead, the author treated readers to a sweet and heart-warming story. I appreciated the camaraderie between the members of the club and it was a joy to watch the way they embraced Abbie into their fold.

The romance though sweet had a hint of spiciness to it. I loved watching Abbie and Temper grow as a couple.

The suspense arc amped up the excitement. The events surrounding this aspect of the story led to some interesting revelations.

Conclusion/Recommendation
Temper delivered a sweet, heart-warming romance with some suspenseful moments and a few twists and turns that would keep readers engaged.
