Synopsis – Temper by Chantal Fernando
Every year, the hot, tatted biker comes into Abbie’s bar, orders whiskey and asks her out. Every year, Abbie turns him down. After all, dating a man that goes by Temper seems like a really bad idea, no matter how attracted she is to him.
But this year is different. Abbie’s different. Older, wiser and tired of being stuck behind the bar in a sleepy town. This year, she’s ready for whatever adventure the sexy but sweet biker has in store for her.
Or so she thinks…until an elegant candlelit dinner ends with a dead body.
Now Abbie finds herself on the ride of her life, whisked away to the big city in Temper’s protective custody. She should be scared, but—despite his nickname—it’s clear the last thing Temper would ever do is hurt a hair on her head. And when danger catches up with them, Abbie soon realizes that holding tight to her man while straddling a Harley may be the safest place of all.

Review
Temper was a great surprise. In full disclosure, I haven’t read the first two books in the series but definitely plan on doing so now. This book can absolutely be read as a standalone and I even devoured it in one sitting.
Abbie is a bartender and every year Temper comes to her and asks her out. She refuses every single time until one day, she decides that she wants to live a little. Well, her wish is granted. Temper takes her out and right there, the chemistry is already off the chart. After their first date, a quick stop will forever change her life.
This book is quite the ride. From the moment the date ends to the very end, this story kept me on the edge on my seat. High stake actions, near-death experiences, unexpected plot twists, this book is written to make sure that you don’t put this book down. Pepper all this with some sexy scenes, and you have me.
Now, there is one thing I would say: Temper is not the typical Alpha Male. I tend to picture them as commanding, dangerous, arrogant, and sometimes brooding. In this story, Temper does have a leading role, but he deeply cares about Abbie. He always tries to do the right thing so to me he is more of a knight with a caveman tendency if that makes sense. I truly love his character. He is compassionate, loyal with a strong sense of family.
Abbie and her mother have an unhealthy relationship, so the misadventures are truly a blessing in disguise for her. I very much enjoyed her character arc. I truly enjoyed Abbie’s witty and loyal personality. Again, I haven’t read the two other books, but this did not have a negative impact on my reading. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
