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

Introduction
Answering Atlas is the third installment in the series and this is where we get Atlas' story. This book was just as charming as other MC romance that I have read from this author. I absolutely adored this one, it had such a cute flair to it. And its not dark MC or anything, so most contemporary readers will get a kick out of this one. There is something so well balanced in how Chantal Fernando writes her books, and Answering Atlas is no different. The romance was delightful and had me highly entertained all the way through. If you love fun angst, then Answering Atlas needs to be on your list.

Summary
It sets of with Natalie Ward, who is the daughter of the prez of the Wind Dragons MC. She has always been the serious one out of the family and has been wanting an identity outside of the MC world. She wants to maintain her own independence. As much as she loves her family, she wants something more from her life. Then drops in the bad boy Atlas, who is sexy and charming and makes her smile even though she wants to battle him for wits. As Atlas and Natalie work through their sexual tension and witty banter, Atlas is looking for thier enemy who has been attacking the mutual MC's and is a dangerous one. But will Natalie's career be battled with her love of Atlas and her family and put them all at risk?

My Outlook
I absolutely had a blast with this installment. Chantal Fernando is such a delight to read, and every time I pick up one of her books, it just brings a smile to my face. I couldn't seem to get enough of the angst in this one. It was so WELL DONE! And I am super picky about angst, but in this book, it was so delightful. I just couldn't seem to get enough of it. I also was so drawn into their bantering, the whole them denying their attraction and learning to be honest with each other. I do like that the hero pushed the heroine's buttons and made her reflect on herself in a very real way. I was laughing my head off through this book because of how they engaged with each other, and that is not a common experience for me, but Fernando really balanced out the humor and sexual tension so well in this one.

I really wasn't a fan with the ending though and the outcome of the "serial plot". I won't spoil what it is but It was a struggle to read and I was hoping that there would be a book for this character that is lost.

Overall View
Answering Atlas was such an endearing book and I just wanted more of it. There is a great plot line, some real lessons learns, a gravitating romance that immediately captivates the reader, and builds into a beautiful story to cheer on!
