4.5 Sinful Alpha Male StarsOne night with her ex-boyfriend’s brother turns Faye’s carefully planned world upside down in this steamy, erotic MC romance.Faye was comfortable and confident in her life.  She was studying to be an attorney, at the top of her class, and planned to one day open a practice with her long-term boyfriend, Eric.  But all that changed when she walked in on her boyfriend with one of her friends.When Faye runs into Eric’s brother, Dex, a few nights later, who also happens to be her childhood crush, she decides she deserves to live out her fantasy, even if only for one night.  But in a twisted turn of fate, she winds up pregnant, carrying the child of a motorcycle club’s vice president. Kicked out of her house, Faye flees the town that has only brought her rejection.  But when Dex finds out she’s pregnant with his child, he wastes no time tracking her down and demanding she come home with him.DRAGON’S LAIR was my first MC romance—but if this is what I can expect, it most definitely will not be my last.  I loved the way Dex barreled his way into Faye’s life and took over.  You could tell by the other bikers’ reactions that the way Dex treated Faye was not his norm, which made it all the more endearing.  He was big and bad and scary to everyone else, but for Faye he could be soft and caring.  Faye was immediately immersed into the MC lifestyle and the way she stuck out like a fish out of water made the story entertaining and fun.  Dex’s raging jealousy was sexy and swoon-worthy and I just couldn’t get enough.My only complaint (and the reason I took off half a star) was that after a while, Faye’s inability to keep her mouth shut seemed a bit contrived for dramatic affect and the way the bikers always seemed to find her sass cute rather than disrespectful was a bit groan-inducing.  This wasn’t until about 70% or so, the first three quarters I was eating it up; it was just near the end that I started to find it less than adorable.DRAGON’S LAIR had me greedily highlighting every delicious comment out of Dex’s mouth.  From the very first chapter, Chantal Fernando reeled me in with the perfect combination of all my favorite traits in a bad boy: possessive, controlling, domineering, and smitten for that one special girl.**Complimentary copy provided by the author/publisher for an honest review.
