Book three! I definitely enjoyed it more than the second one, as Lana was easily distinguishable from Faye and Anna. She had some great characteristics and her and Tracker had real chemistry, steam and some excellent one-liners. So what's Lana's story? Well, she is a twenty-five year old uni student (I actually forget what she is studying) and best friend of previous protagonist Anna. Oh, and she is also a highly successful romance author writing under pen name Zada Ryan. Bring in bad boy Tracker, who has been pinned by a jealous and slightly crazy Allie, and of course you're in for some drama! The thing I liked most was probably the friendship dynamic between Lana and Anna. They have a truly special bond and are loyal to each other beyond belief. The whole dominance and sexist thing still pisses me off a bit, but I try not to take it seriously. I did feel that Fernando did a lot better writing wise with this addition to the series, and the story line flowed better. Plus, there were references to Smallville AND Harry Potter! And I am pretty sure Lana was named after one of my favourite people/characters of all time in Kristen Kreuk/Lana Lang. So you know, that was cool. Should I mention now that I am also naming my daughter Lana...The name refuses to get tainted, even now.

This book is more so a companion novel, rather than a sequel in the Wind Dragon MC series. It follows heart broken, guilt trippen, tough guy Arrow and the one and only lady who has been able to turn his head in years. But good girl Anna isn't so easily attainable, considering her brother Rake's overbearing possessiveness, and his and Arrow's bond. But will their love prove the strongest fort for all of their deep and serious issues? I'm pretty sure you can guess the answer to that... Again, I enjoyed this book, but was seriously annoyed at it at times. I found Anna's voice to be way too similar to Faye's and that there was really no character development in anyone. Anna seemed to swing from a giggling girl to 25 year old scientist to bad-arse bitch far too often, leaving me giddy and confused. The romance in this novel was very RME (see Dragon's Lair) and predictable, and I really didn't feel any connection to Arrow at all. I will be continuing on with the series, but am looking forward to reading about Rake, Vinnie and even perhaps Talon the most.

Meet Faye; a quirky law student who finds out her boyfriend of six years has been cheating on her. What will she do? Oh I know, sleeping with his bad-arse bikey brother seems like a great idea, until she ends up pregnant and dragged back to Wind Dragon's Motorcycle Club Headquarters. There she has to deal with being seen as property and having her every word and move scrutinised. But is it worth it for a chance with the man she's always dreamed of? I don't believe so, but she certainly does. Okay, so as you can tell, this book had a lot wrong with it, and lots of things really irritated me, such as the way the boys treated women, even the ones they claimed to respect. The writing was also very simple, and I often felt that the tense was out of place as it was written in present tense, but seemed to jump around a lot. From the sounds of the above, you're probably thinking I didn't like it, and I probably shouldn't have, especially after reading the Disaster series where the characters and story had real depth and multiple dimensions, which this series totally lacked... but I did. Probably because it was just an easy read, where I didn't have to invest much, and could read it in the car on our tripping around in under 24 hours. Also, I quite liked Faye, even though I wanted to punch her every time she said "If you ever do this again, I'll leave you". I really enjoyed the relationship between Faye and the biker boys, and how she put them in their place. In saying all this, rating it is actually a serious issue...
