ARC Review: ACE OF HEARTS by Chantal Fernando

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.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 ✦Ace in the hole, Ace up my sleeve, Ace… Ace… Ace✦ Stars!!

After twenty-one years, Erin finds out that a huge part of her life is a lie - her biological father isn’t the man who raised her. Determined to find out more about the man who gave her life, she visits his home, which happens to be the clubhouse of The Cursed Ravens. This sweet country girl was in over her head with these rough bikers, but luckily, these men took to her instantly. She and her father fell instantly in love and he wasn’t the only one laying claim to her heart. Ace was the hottest man she had ever seen and their connection was irresistible. Too bad they were off-limits * wink* Breaking the rules never felt so good!

I’ve never read anything by Chantal Fernando before, although her work resides on my TBR. I was so happy to see that she had a new series coming out and that I could get in from the beginning. I found this story to be really sweet, despite the drama and the bit of suspense that was thrown in. I would have liked to have gotten Ace’s perspective because there were many instances that I felt required his thoughts in order to give a clear idea of his motives, but I heavily appreciated Erin’s voice. She was spunky, easy going, and kind hearted, which showed in every part of this story. If this is what I can expect from this author’s writing, then I’ll definitely be reading more!
