The thrilling conclusion to New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando's Fast & Fury series, fully loaded with intense emotions and edge-of-your-seat suspense.
All she wanted was the truth.
All he wanted was to be left alone.

Nadia has always been in charge of her life. As a private investigator, she makes her own hours and only takes on cases that she wants to work on. But when a family friend asks her to look into a case, she instantly regrets it—it hits far too close to home.
The last thing she wants to do is rip open old wounds. Especially Trade’s, the single father she’s been spending time with. It isn’t long before she’s falling not just for him, but for the kids he’s trying so hard to protect.
But the little voice in Nadia’s head tells her that something isn’t right, and she’s determined to find the truth. Using her connections to the Knights of Fury MC and the Fast & Fury motorcycle garage to gather evidence, Nadia uncovers evidence of a conspiracy that will leave everyone shaken—and force her and Trade to do whatever it takes to keep their new family safe.

This review may contain spoilers, so fair warning, upon reading the review.

Custom Love is the newest release of the week and is also the latest installment in her Fast & Furious series. I saw that this one was available at Hoopla, so I decided to pick it up and I am so happy that I was able to do so because of this BOOK. I honestly couldn’t put this one down at all. It had so much goodness in this book and I am not sure if it was because it was the narrator or the book itself where I couldn’t put this one down. I was completely hooked. Of course, it has a mix of all of some of my favorite elements in romance so it checked all of the books that I look for in a book like this so without further ado lets forge ahead about what was so glorious about this one here.

Custom Love is a story that features:

  • Trade-single father, brother to MC President, running Fast and Fury
  • Nadia-private investigator, best friend to Bronte

In Custom Love, Trade loses the woman he loved and the one that was the mother to his three kids. And now that the supposed murderer is behind bars, he is trying to move on with is life and helping his kids recover and heal from the loss they have been dealt. Nadia, was stunned when the mother of the one is said to have killed Trade’s wife, might be innocent and to look into it. At first, Nadia, is hesitant because of how she is connected to the people involved in the case. But she is a searcher for the truth and has a sense of loyalty towards those involved in it. So she slowly investigates while at the same time has a pursuing interest in Trade and his family. But as clues start to appear that not everything is as it seems in the case, Trade and Nadia search for the real murderer, but what they find is not what they expect and will shoot a blow to all of those involved.

Custom Love was such an interesting book and I definitely wasn’t expecting to find such a solid mystery to be solved in this one. It really is what gravitated me towards this story. I do love a good mystery, but honestly, I just wanted to see who the culprit was and it definitely wasn’t who I expected at all. It is actually very rare for an author to surprise me like this with the identity of the villain, but Chantal Fernando definitely worked me good in this book and I am more than happy to admit that. There was so much goodness in this book that I just wanted to gobble it all up like it’s a Thanksgiving feast. Custom Love has such a wonderful blend of romance and suspense and I was on board with it all. I fell so deeply in love with Trade’s kids, and what adorable children they were and added just the right touch to the story. All their antics had me laughing so hard and really added the right flavor of humor and wit to the story to balance out so much of the serious adulting things going on 🙂 I truly enjoyed my time getting to know these characters and all their unique adaptability in the circumstances which are handed to them. The romance between Trade and Nadia was perfect, there is some angst in the story, but it is low angst and it fit my mood to just what I wanted in this romance. Chantal Fernando definitely delivered such a solid, heartwarming story I couldn’t get enough of.

Overall I found Custom Love to be a touching romance that balances out the mystery with friends falling in love with each other and building upon their connection. It has sparks of laughter, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and a love story that will evoke all sorts of emotions within you.

    Hooray for a mystery that totally surprised you. It’s so disappointed when you can finger the culprit from page 7. LOL And a single dad… swoon. I have no idea why that’s my weakness because I am so not a kid person, but I’m a sucker for a (fictional) single dad romance! 🙂

    I’ve enjoyed two of her books from another series, but have meant to get back to her books. This series with the bit of mystery sounds really good. Great review, Renee!

    I still haven’t read any of her books somehow! But that needs to change after reading your great review. Sounds like it was a nice balance of mystery, romance, and even some comic relief from the children. 🙂
