In New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando’s latest novel in the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club series, Rake—baddest of the bad boys—gets his own romance at last!
Rake is known for being up for anything, in and out of the bedroom. He’s wild, he’s deadly, yet quick with a joke or a stolen kiss. Known as the player of the WDMC, he loves women, the more the merrier. However, behind his womanizing façade, Rake hides the pain of losing his first love, Bailey. He hasn’t loved anyone since, and doesn’t think he ever will.
Seven years after their split, Rake and Bailey run into each other at the MC’s favorite club. Old wounds resurface, secrets are spilled...and passionate feelings are awakened. But they’ve each done things to hurt the other, hurt them too badly to get over it—haven’t they? Only when Bailey’s connection to Rake puts her in danger from another Club member does he realize that there’s nothing he won’t do to protect her—and claim her as his once again.

Review

Chantal Fernando is a genius! I absolutely LOVE her Wind Dragon MC series so much that I jumped (literally) at the chance to read Rake’s story.

Oh Rake. He’s the top man-whore of all man-whores… (if that’s even possible). He’s gone through more than his share of women, but he still can’t let go of the one who broke his heart years ago. Until one night at Rifts his past has come full forced back into his life, whether he accepts it or not.

Bailey is a sweet, intelligent and has done everything in her power to provide for her daughter. She hasn’t seen anyone in her past for a long time, but one night at Rifts and she’s thrown back with Anna and Lena who were old friends. As she gets reacquainted with her friends she get’s blindsided seeing her ex-boyfriend Adam (aka Rake) who’s enjoying the presence of two beautiful women. Unfortunately, their reunion lashed with pain and anger.

Will Rake and Bailey be able to work through the past before it destroys their future?

Rake’s Redemption was so amazing that I read it all in three and half hours! I just couldn’t get enough! Rake and Bailey have great chemistry even when they were biting each other’s heads off. I will admit that I felt like it kind of dragged during certain part and I felt like her “big secret” that she was protecting Rake from should have gone more in depth instead of lightly pressing the issue of what happened. However, after everything was laid down bare, you felt their relationship really picked up into a more happier state where Rake and Bailey managed to get to know each other again. Also, I’m a sucker when it comes to men claiming a child even if they aren’t theirs by blood. That makes me love the man even more!

Additional to Rake and Bailey, I love seeing the previous characters who all made wonderful appearances throughout the story. Faye even made some remarkable jokes that had me laughing so hard tears sprung from my eyes. I can’t wait for Irish’s story to be told!

I would highly recommend the Wind Dragon MC series– Reviewed by Julianne Knutson
