From New York Times bestselling author Chantal Fernando comes the latest in the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club series featuring a red-hot romance and plenty of mystery Ranger is at a crossroads: he has a chance to leave the motorcycle club and do something else with his life–but he keeps getting dragged back. When the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club asks for his help, Ranger agrees, not only because … agrees, not only because it is hard to say no to them, but also because he has a vested interest.
A woman is missing.
And Ranger knows her.
The Wind Dragons aren’t the only ones hoping this girl can be found–on the hunt is Johanna Chase, a stubborn detective who won’t give up until the missing woman is found safe. She needs Ranger to navigate the underground world of motorcycle clubs, and immediately, sparks fly. Ranger fights the attraction. He has no plans on going there, no matter how beautiful and badass she is. A biker and a cop? Ridiculous.
But the two of them soon realize that they’re in way over their heads, and now they have to trust each other in order to save her. With the WDMC and the police force at their back, it should be no problem, right?more
Cam aka Ranger is one of the newest members of the Wind Dragon’s motorcycle club. He’s super smart with three degrees and a good head on his shoulders. Ranger gets the opportunity to work on a missing person’s case for a girl he was once close with back in the day. Ranger will be working alongside Johanna aka Jo whose a cop. Jo is working the case because the girl missing is her cousin Elizabeth. These two spend a lot of time together working on the case and they eventually catch feelings for one another.
I will say things progressed quite quickly with Jo and Ranger. I felt I didn’t really connect to these two like I have other couples in this series. They had a forbidden love thing going on because he was a biker in a motorcycle club and she was an officer of the law. Jo takes a lot of risks with her professional life but not so much her personal life. Ranger fell for Jo hard and gave it his all because he’s never experienced such strong emotions before.
I feel there was a lot of push and pull with these two. Elizabeth had feelings for Ranger but he had no clue. With her being Jo’s cousin…things got complicated fast. Also there’s a kidnapping and trafficking theme with this story so just a heads up if that’s not something you want to read about. Basically there was a lot going on and it just wasn’t my favorite story overall. I like Ranger and Jo overall but I just didn’t love their story sadly.

Crossroads is the sixth book in the Wind Dragons MC by Chantal Fernando. I’ve been eagerly awaiting its release.
I was so excited to finally get Ranger’s story. We met him in previous books with the Wild Men MC and he has since joined the Wind Dragon’s MC. He’s a sexy genius – quiet and reserved, but when he speaks, people listen.
He agrees to help a cop, Johanna Chase, find a missing woman. The woman is an old friend to Ranger that he hasn’t seen in years. She’s also the cousin to Johanna.
I like that Fernando shifts the plot away from some of the saga that had been in previous books. It’s still the Wind Dragons, but there is a meaningful purpose as the foundation of this storyline. The Wind Dragons are present but in the background.
Additionally, it’s an interesting perspective in that once they realize the attraction they embrace it; however, the basis of the storyline has twists, not related to their attraction, that are the central focus of the storyline.
I love this series and I’m hopeful for more. However, it appears Fernando may be preparing for a spin off or possibly gearing for a series with the offspring as the main characters. Either way, I’m not ready to put the Wind Dragons away so hopefully we’ll see more soon.
A Wind Dragon and a cop equals forbidden love!
Ranger’s story is a bit different than the previous books. His love has hurdles the others didn’t have to face because his love is forbidden and crosses boundaries that affects them both.
But Ranger isn’t like most bikers and the stereotypes are WAY off when it comes to this man. But when his eyes land on Johanna for the first time, that biker/alpha mentality came to their surface. All he wants is to hold her and protect her, even though she can and has been doing herself before he came around.
Their attraction was immediate. Their connection was instant. Their love came fast and strong.
It was a great addition to the series!
At a 4.5 crossroads
In anticipation of Clover’s story coming out in the next few days, I realised I hadn’t quite finished with the Wind Dragons MC and still had Ranger’s story to read! So nice to go back to a beloved series and revisit everyone and what they’re all up to
Faye enlists Ranger’s help with tracking down a missing woman, who has been gone for almost two weeks! The woman that is missing, Elizabeth, is an old friend of Ranger’s, so he steps up. He’s also working with a cop…who is a cousin to Elizabeth! Sparks fly when Ranger and Jo see each other for the first time, but when they meet later on….everything either of them could want might get derailed. But true to his name, Ranger is no quitter and fights for what he wants
I’ve been a fan of The Wild Dragon series from the start and I’v really looked forward to Ranger’s story. He’s been that one guy that we all want to know more about. We’ve hated him while secretly lusting after him. We’ve cussed at him while secretly calling to him. So needless to say, I was excited about getting his story.
I actually really liked Ranger. He’s super sweet, communicative and makes sure that Joanna “Jo” knows where he stands. He makes a point to let her his feelings from the start and I admire that.
While I connected with Ranger and Jo, I think I was hoping for more action. The club has more or less settled down and this is a story about Ranger heading that way. Of course, he’s at a point of his life where things have changed and he isn’t sure if he fits in with the Wild Dragons. I just miss the action. I know that Jo and Ranger fall in love while searching for a missing woman, but I didn’t feel the normal suspense that I’ve gotten with the rest of the books. I love the cop/biker relationship but I wanted more.
At the same time, I love that we still get more of the rest of the guys. Sure, they are settled down but you can tell that they are still the same loyal and loving family that they have always been and it really made me miss everyone even more than I already was.
Please don’t let my rating fool you. I did enjoy this book and I really think Ranger could steal my heart. I just wanted more of Ranger in the dangerous MC world while he was stealing it. A total personal preference.
This book can be read as a standalone and I think it will be perfect for those that love the sweet bikers without all the dirty grit that comes with some of the stories.
