Review: Love Gamble by Chantal Fernando

Writer's picture: La Crimson FemmeLa Crimson Femme

The completion to the Angels & Devils MC trilogy shows a different side to Corey. One I did not expect and I ended up feeling sorry for her. This trilogy should be read as a set and in the order it was written. Reading the previous two books will provide more context and backstory. It will also help explain some of the character interactions. The other series do not have to be read in order to enjoy this one.


When Corey was a secondary character in the previous books, I found her to be shallow and self centered. And perhaps a little bit of TSTL. She is redeemed in this one as we learn more about her and her growth post her brother's death. I have to keep reminding myself how very young all of the characters are in this book. They come across as immature and children to me because they are in their 20s. I'm more than twice their age with a bit more battle scars. This causes me to wince when I see the communication malfunctions between Corey and her crush, Damon.


This book came across more YA to me than the other books in her series. There is some character growth from Corey. Damon is a hot headed male. The phrase young, dumb, and full of c.. keeps coming up as I watch Damon commit one faux pas after another. Still, they are able to pull it together. The MC lifestyle is dangerous and filled with petty revenge tactics. In addition to constant needless violence. It is a world I do not understand nor appreciate. It is fun to read the sheer stupidity they get into due to their "rep" they need to keep up. I couldn't do it. This NA romance is recommended to readers who like motorcycle clubs and the complications that come with it.
