Saint
Knights of Fury Book 1
by Chantal Fernando
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Wind Dragons and Cursed Ravens MC series comes sinners, saints and secrets…
Dear Skylar,
Five years. That’s a long time to go without talking to somebody, especially someone who was such a huge part of your life…
A letter from my first kiss and my childhood everything…from prison.
He may be nicknamed Saint, but this sweet, sexy biker most definitely has a wild streak. Hearing from him draws me right back into the Knights of Fury motorcycle club—the people I’ll always think of as family.
He’s still the only man I’ve ever wanted.
Each good, old-fashioned letter from my “prison pen pal” has my heart racing. Which is nothing compared to how I feel when Saint surprises me in person, as a free man.
I was just a kid the last time we saw each other, but the connection between us now is anything but innocent.
He’s the type of man who would do anything to protect his woman. And with my world crashing down around me, that’s exactly what I’m going to need.
This book is approximately 67,000 words
Please note: This book is part of the Knights of Fury MC series but can be read as a stand-alone.
Momma Says: 2 stars⭐⭐
Saint is not the first book I’ve read by Chantal Fernando nor is it even the first MC, but it is my least favorite. I've enjoyed everything I've read by this author until this one. Maybe this one just wasn't for me, but I really struggled to finish this one.
When I picked up this MC, I was expecting this angsty, drama-packed novel, maybe even a forbidden/taboo romance, and the wit I've come to enjoy from Fernando. What I got was not that at all. The author seemed to play it safe with the first book in this new series. And that sharp wit to lighten things up occasionally was missing.
Skylar was a clubhouse Princess. The man who raised her, Hammer, started the Knights of Fury from the ground up. Then we have Saint, a Prospect for the club. Skylar and Saint just had this connection, one that was not allowed given the age difference. Insert why I figured I’d get a forbidden/taboo romance.
On to the angst and drama I expected. I didn’t get that either. You can’t have bikers without sin, even if it's just a little. Instead, we get what should've been some major drama that is more glossed over than dealt with. And the reason for that drama, once we find out, had me rolling my eyes.
All in all this novel felt glazed at best when there could have been so much more. I don’t know if Fernando was playing it safe or got bored, but if you like MC romance with all the feels, this one missed the mark. That said, I will read other books by this author, but I think I'll be skipping this series given my experience with this first book.
