I've always liked Talon, so I was happy to see that he got his own story. It was the perfect in between book, to set up Wolf's Mate.
Title: Wild Ride
Author: Chantal Fernando
Series: Wind Dragons MC #4.5
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: July 11th 2016
Internationally bestselling author Chantal Fernando brings fans another sexy motorcycle novella in the Wind Dragons MC series, as rival club president Talon has to decide what's more dangerous: facing down the WDMC, or losing his heart to a woman under their protection.
Talon has a complicated relationship with the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club. He’s the president of their rival club, the Wild Men, but he’s also related to one of their members—who hates him. He could handle that, but he’s also got problems in his own club; someone is leaking information and disrupting their business, but Talon can’t find the mole. So the last thing he needs is even more complication in the form of a beautiful single mother who’s bolder than half the bikers on his squad. But he can't take his eyes—or his hands—off her...
Tia’s always been a little reckless, up for a good time wherever she found it, but she’s also a great mom to her young son. So even though she thinks Talon is basically sex on a stick, when she realizes she wants to be more to him than just a club groupie, she has to take things a bit slow. Plus, a momentary attraction, no matter how smoking hot, isn’t worth risking her son’s happiness in any way. Is there any chance that Talon might be up for a more permanent arrangement? Or has Tia leapt before looking once again?
Ahhh,
Talon! I have really liked seeing more and more of this character
along the Wind Dragon MC journey. He may be from the rival MC
club, but I could always see that he was a good person. If you read
the previous book, Rake's Redemption, you could see the
chemistry between Talon and Tia, and I was so glad I was able to get
their story!
Tia
was a character that I loved from the first time I met her. She's a
strong, protective mother who will do anything to protect her child.
She's very independent because she went through a difficult
relationship previously, but is a better person because of it. And
she knows what she wants, and that's Talon. The Wild Men MC was going
through some tough times, and Talon needed to figure out what was
going on before even contemplating his connection with Tia. It was
amusing to see him fight his attraction, but I could see it was only
a matter of time. I like how he wanted to do anything for Tia and was
quite protective of her early on.
Chantal
Fernando has delivered once again with this quick little bridge
book in the series. I could see that Talon was struggling with his MC
and understood why he made the decisions he did before the events of
the next book, Wolf's Mate. I liked how Talon and Tia took
their time, not rushing into a relationship that would effect Tia's
son. Talon and Tia were a steamy couple, and I enjoyed their
interaction and to see a lot of the characters that I've already met
in the series.

I have two snippets today, the first Tia helped Talon to face his attraction, so he could act. The second was sweet... for tough Talon!
“Maybe you’re pushing me to take what I want.”
“I shouldn’t have to push you to take anything,” she fires back, licking her lips.
“I know,” I whisper. “But it’s complicated.”
“It always is.”
I lean down and slam my mouth against hers.

“This is going to be the most cringeworthy shit I’ve ever said, but you look beautiful in the moonlight.”
I kiss him in response, and feel him smile against my lips.
“Okay, maybe I should say shit like that all the time,” he says, returning the kiss.
