I may be twenty-seven years old, yet every year going home for Christmas is something I eagerly look forward to. I can never wait to get back and see my dad, Heart, my stepmom and my younger brother and sisters, as well as the proxy cousins, uncles and aunts who I grew up with. The Satan’s Devils MC has been my family for all of my life.This year, though, I’m dreading it, knowing there are so … are so many people who’ll be disappointed in me if the truth comes out.
They’d know something was wrong if I didn’t go home.
They’ll know something’s wrong as I fear I won’t be able to hide it.
Xander’s been my rock since the night my world imploded. For three months he’s barely left my side, and he’s promised he won’t stop now. Maybe with him I can pretend everything is fine.
One thing for certain, I mustn’t let my MC family into my secret. If they knew what had happened, they’d blame me for certain. Worse, they’d want to take matters into their own hands.
I can do this. I can join in the celebrations and pretend that there’s nothing wrong. Can’t I?

Amy is a 27 year old woman who has grown up with the Satan’s Devils and branched out on her own to attend college and get a degree in nursing, albeit to the frustration and worry of her parents, but she is successful and knows what she wants out of life and one thing is to return home every Christmas and see her parents, sibling and the extended family of those living around her, but this year she is dreading it, she is worried that they will see right through her and want to deal with her problem’s the only way she knows how, but she might just manage it with Xander by her side.
As they drive towards the compound, Xander asks her how she is feeling as they get nearer to Tucson and her home, she replied honestly that she is worried and is tempted to go back, but she knows that if she isn’t there, then her family will definitely suspect something and that is the last thing she wants, but even though Xander is trying to convince her that she needs to open up to them about what happened, she is more worried about what their reaction is going to be. It is her fault the event happened and they will all just blame her and agree that she was at fault, but she is so glad that he is there with her so he can help her as he has done for the last three months. As they approach the compound, they stop at the gate so they can be let in and Xander admires the area as it is not what he expected at all, but everything is as she expects and hopes they have waited so that their traditions can be kept up where she puts the last decoration up on the tree. After this has been completed, Amy introduces her friend to everyone, but she awkwardly tries to avoid hugs from the men around her, although she doesn’t hesitate with her dad or the ladies and kids and she is more than thankful that Xander helps her to do that, using wanting to freshen up and unpack as their excuse.
As they unpack, she fills Xander in when he asks about the Club and the people in it, but understands that he can only know so much, but he also knows when to push and when not to, meanwhile her dad is talking to her mum and is worried about her and a little bit about the man she is with, albeit the usual checks have been done, then they reminisce about her childhood and how she had grown into exactly what she wanted to be. As they go back to the clubhouse, they meet up with another member and talk about her and get his view on the situation and he feels the same way that they do, that something isn’t right, but to wait and see what it is. Later on as preparations for the family meal are going on Xander goes straight in and helps where needed as Amy spends time catching up with the family, this is appreciated, but as she talks to her dad, he is watching for her reactions to his questions and the feeling that something isn’t right is solidified, especially as he notices more little things as the evening progresses and he is determined to find out what it is and so asks Xander to have a chat in the morning.
As Xander reassures Amy that nobody noticed anything was amiss, they go about their normal nightly routine, including helping her deal with her nightmares, which she appreciates more than she can tell him and to help calm her, he asks how Christmas works so he knows what to expect later on in the day. The next morning, they exchange gifts and head down to the clubhouse for breakfast and although she is worried, Amy goes along too, but when someone puts his arm around her she goes into a full blown panic attack and has to be taken outside, but just as Xander is talking to her, her dad comes out and overhears them talking, this is where Xander ends up telling him everything. Will Amy be able to handle the rest of Christmas day and be able to relax around her family, or will what they find out tarnish their view of her forever? This is another fantastic installment which deals with some heavy topics, but is engrossing as you ride along with the Devils.

Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC-Next Generation #1 by Manda Mellett
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by Mellett. I have read several of the Satan’s Devils MC Series. Each of them has a place in my heart.
Amy grew up on the MC Compound in Tucson. She was five when Drew came into her life and he’s the reason she left Tucson behind. Of course getting her independence was another reason. Then something happens. The quote I chose for Amy is: “You’ll always be Drew to me. Is it really that important to you?”
Drew, aka Wizard, owed the Satan’s Devils MC his damn life. They took him and his older sister in when things weren’t going good. When he meets Amy she’s ten years younger. As she gets older he can’t stop thinking about her. The quote I chose for Drew is: “The MC saved Mariana, and myself. We both could have died were it not for their help. Such a big debt owed, I wanted to give something back. So I prospected and became a member. When you went away, I was lost, adrift, made to re-evaluate my life. I f-ed up, Amy, I admit it. I’d lost my friend and realised I’d lost the girl worth waiting for. All I could do was throw myself into the MC. I aimed at becoming an officer when the old regime eventually retired. I lived and breathed the club, and I still do. Got to admit that.”
Highly recommended for MC Romance lovers.
Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC (Second Generation) is the first in a new series expanding the world of the Tuscon, Arizona MC by Manda Mellett. I really enjoyed this telling of Amy and Drew (Wizard) finding their way back to each other.
Amy is Heart’s daughter and first met Drew when she was just 5 years old. They became fast friends even though Drew is 10 years older than Amy. When Amy got older and started to transition into a woman their paths separated. They each lost a friend and possubly even more.
After Amy left the compound to go to school and forge ahead in her life, Drew (Wizard) devoted himself to the MC and quickly climbed the ranks.
Even though Amy didn’t really want to come back for Christmas this year, she knew it would be more suspicious if she didn’t come back. So when she finds herself in the middle of the normal Christmas time festivities her father interveens and maybe, just maybe Amy’s life is about to shift onto a different course.
I really enjoyed the Arizona Satan’s Devils MC and cannot wait for more!
This my first book by this Author and it definitely won’t be my last. From start to Finnish the words will suck you in.
This story is about Drew and Amy the story starts from when they are younger so you get the back story of what’s happened between them and why Amy has not visited as much since going to college.
Smiting happens to Amy I won’t say what because I don’t want to give anything away she feels her family will see her differently and how this is written you actually feel her sorrow.
Drew is alpha male and the love he feels for Amy shines through.
There are some dark parts in this story but without them the story wouldn’t be the same.
This is a great read.
Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1 by Manda Mellett
Stars-4
I absolutely love that Manda Mellett has written about the second generation! This book focuses on Amy and Drew. I love how they came together. Amy is incredibly strong, and Drew is willing to fight for those he loves. There are moments that may be triggers for some, but the author warns of this. I feel that this book was well done and a great start to this series. I cannot wait to see how this series plays out!
Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1 by Manda Mellett. So honestly I wish I could reread this all over for the first time again, because I am so sad I’ll never have that again. But I will reread this book over and over. Once again this author gave me everything I could have possibly wanted. Characters that completely hooked me and a storyline that just had me sinking in and never wanting to come out. This story may not be for the faint hearted it’s got some dark points that aren’t for everyone but it adds to the storyline. This author writes so many emotions into a story and I as the reader felt every single one. I’m already a huge fan of this new series and can’t wait for more. Well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!
Amy’s Santa
Satan’s Devils MC
Second Generation #1
By Manda Mellett
This is a full length novel. Loaded with suspense and romance. Every page in this story has a new twist.
This is the story of Amy and Drew. As they grew into adults, and their budding love. With 10 years between them, Drew being the oldest. He knew Amy was falling in love with him, as he was her. Her father told Drew he needed to break Amy’s heart. So she could move on. In doing so she left the MC and went off to college. Now she has returned to the club for Christmas. Drew is President Heart, having earned his right to be. On returning Amy is withdrawn and frightened. She is afraid of her father finding out what had brought her back broken.
Manda Mellett has done it again. This book is a complete rollercoaster ride. Her characters will make you cry, laugh and get extremely angered. Her book is well written and flows smoothly. You can’t help but fall in love with her and the people in this book. You should probably read the first book in The Satan’s Devils MC. Well done Manda Mellett!!!
Amy’s Santa is the first book I’ve read by this author and I enjoyed the book. I wasn’t sure exactly what was going to happen after reading about when Amy has no choice but to leave the compound and flee to Phoenix.
Amy and Drew were always attached at the hip growing up. Unfortunately, there were to many years between them so they were unable to bring their relationship past friendship. As the years went on the feelings were there for both of them but that didn’t matter.
When Amy walks in to catch Drew in a compromising position, she knows she need to get away…far away! She decided to go away to school and become a nurse. Now she is coming home for the holidays and brings one of her good friends home with her. Amy doesn’t know where should would be today if it weren’t for Xander. He saved her….rescued her when she needed him to. She knows by going home to spend time with her dad and the rest of the MC family is going to be hard. She is a shell of the person they know her to be. She’s carrying a secret and she is afraid if anyone finds out her secret they will blame her.
Xander is cornered by Amy’s dad Heart ( Amy’s Dad ) and has no choice but to come clean and tell him what the problem with Amy is all about.
Will Amy’s dad understand what happened and stand behind his little girl?
What will happen when Drew and Amy see each other. Will seeing Amy light a fire under him? Will Drew finally settle down or with the club president remain single?
I thought this was a good book. I’m not a fan of MC books because I can’t deal with trying to remember who is who but this book wasn’t so hard.
This book is amazing its an emotional rollercoaster. I didn’t read any of the first generation so i was a little confused but i loved Amy and Wizard. I thought the book was beautifully written. And i loved how it had in the beginning all the characters and who they are married to it definitely came in handy because there are a lot of characters and it did keep me from getting confused. But i love this book and i give it a 4 star review.
I’m so happy and overjoyed that satan’s devil’s are getting a second generation. I was so eager to get a hold of this read and I tell you what I wasn’t disappointed not a little bit I was utterly glued to the pages, enoch didn’t really shock me as I’ve loved every novel from this author. This novel has triggers but also joyful moments with some sexy times too so it is a novel you must read!!
Amy’s Santa is a very well written adult book! It definitely is 18+ with the trigger warning content and some gang related activity involved. Overall great story, as Amy finds herself back in the MC compound with her family, as she struggles to hide her trauma. She’s left with some life changing choices that doesn’t seem so hard to choose. With some twists and turns, I couldn’t put the book down. It really makes me want to read the whole series before this one. As a stand alone novel it is great, however I think the characters would be easier to keep together if the original books are read first. This is my first time reading a novel from Manda Mellett, but it won’t be my last!
5 stars!
Loved it! I love books revolving around motorcycle clubs, and this one did not disappoint me. Any book that can make my heart skip a beat is a good one by me!
I did not get to read the first series, so I came in blind, but I could easily get into the story and follow along. Bless Amy’s heart, I would be torn up too if I had seen the man I was in love with in a compromising situation. Now years later, I think she is brave and has mass courage to come back to the MC for Christmas, knowing she will most likely run into Wizard. You can tell these two belong together but so much is standing in their way it seems like they will never be able to get around it and finally move on. On top of that there is Amy’s secret, and club business, it seems like everyone is in for a mess of drama. I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be checking out the other books from this series.

5 out of 5 stars
Amy’s Santa is the first book in the second generation of Satan’s Devil MC written by Manda Mellett and its not my first book or the last book that I will read by this awesome author. The characters are great and are well written, I also loved the plot. I read this story in one sitting that how much I enjoyed this story.
Amy is going home for Christmas is something she eagerly look forward to. She can never wait to get back and see her dad, Heart, her stepmom and her younger brother and sisters, as well as the proxy cousins, uncles and aunts who she grew up with. The Satan’s Devils MC has been her family for all her life.
But this year is different she has had a rough few months she knows if she doesn’t show up there will be so many disappointed people. They will know that something is wrong if she doesn’t go home for the holiday. She also fears if she goes home, she won’t be able to keep her secret.
For the last three months Xander’s has been her rock ever since her world blew up. He has barely left her side, and he’s promised he won’t stop now. She is going to try to pretend everything is alright if is by her side.
But what happens when her façade cracks and her MC family demands answers? She can’t let the m know her secret if she does, they will surely take matters into their own hands and she can’t let that happen.
She will defiantly join in the celebrations and pretend that there’s nothing wrong she can do this, or she can’t.
You will have to read the book to see if Amy pulls of her façade. I highly recommend this story and can’t wait for book two in this series.

Amy’s Santa (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1) by Manda Mellett – Review by Gail Guerrero
4 stars
I really love a good mc book. This one rubbed me weirdly. I have no issues with differences unless they’re underage. My issue was the watching this little girl grow up and then bam she desirable. Like what? If you get pass that the book was enjoyable. Get to see this sister/ brother type relationship blossom. It was innocent and pure. The way that Drew took care of Amy and made sure her childhood wasn’t always taking care of others. She grew to be an amazing young woman. The author definitely gives a juicy story weaved with interesting characters. I really like bad boys that are softies on the inside.
Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett is book one of the Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation Series.
Amy left home a long time ago but no matter how long she’s been gone, she can’t help but look forward to going home for Christmas. She’s not sure what to do though. If she goes home, her family will know something is off. If she doesn’t go him, they’ll know something’s up. Can she fake it well enough? With the help of her friend Xander, she puts a brave face on and returns home. Amy isn’t the only one that has to face some truths upon her arrival. Drew has some of his own truths to face. Will they be able to work through their differences and come together?
I really enjoyed this book! I wasn’t sure how everything would work out between Amy and Drew but I enjoyed diving into their story to find out. There are some dark aspects to the story but the author writes the story very well. I couldn’t put it down!
Amy’s Santa: Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #1 by Manda Mellett is a new series of the second generation of the members of the Devils MC club. Most of the original members are there but have or are taking a back seat to the new members who most happen to be their kids. It is a great start to the new series and I absolutely loved, loved, loved the characters and the other books and I fell just as in love with this book too. Manda does MC books well and I always hang for more of these wonderful men and women who take care of their own, who serve their own kind of justice and love like no others.
Amy has come home for Christmas but it is the last place she wants to be, she doesn’t want them to know her dirty secret. Unfortunately her family knows her too well and soon some know what is giving her the haunted look on her face. One the old members cannot sand will not walk away from, vengeance is the only way for the one who hurt their little girl. One man has been her rock since her life was turned upside down but can he give her what she really wants? Now being home the one she longed for, for the longest time offers her something that may just make her whole again. But who will she chose?
I cannot wait to see what Manda gives us next and I want the next book now. Just a hint Manda.

5 +++++++ Stars
This is the second book this week I’ve read by an all ready favorite author that keeps breaking off of series with new series with most of the same characters, and once again I was worried that it might be over done or just be too much, and once again I should trust in this author whom I love so much because this read has now become one of my favorites.
I have fallen in love once again with the Tuscan chapter of the Satan’s Devils. The way she worked this story at first had me thinking I would get confused trying to remember who was married to who and then the kids, but somehow she managed to keep me on track and it was simply amazing.
What I loved the most in this book was the FOG’s (lol) I guess probably because I am so invested in all of them already, and I have to say that Joker absolutely cracked me up in this book, and Drummer and Heart…. Love them so much!
The quick update and progression of Amy and Drew’s past was genius, it wasn’t in flashbacks and was just enough to give me what I needed to want to know more. We were introduced to both of these characters in the first series and how they both grew up to be such awesome people can only be because of the love and family shown to them by the club. I was truly thinking at one point this book was taking a whole different route than it did and I’m so happy it didn’t. One thing I love about this author is she isn’t afraid to write scenes that might make you cringe a little or sometimes a lot so I will say beware there are a couple scenes that could be triggers for some.
I LOVED Amy’s story, it made me laugh way more than once (how the book got its name still cracks me up) and seriously made me cry, I hated for it to end. I feel like I’m transported into these stories and would love to know every single one of these characters.
I can’t wait for more of this Second Generation as well as more from Colorado…I dont think Ill ever get tired of reading about the Satan’s Devils!
I’m not sure how this author has slipped by me in the past! I absolutely loved this book and have now found a new favorite MC author! I can’t wait to read more from her…especially since this is a second generation book! Now I will be going back to the beginning and finding out the start of the Satan’s Devils MC. I’m looking forward to reading about the F.O.G.’s from their younger days!
In this story, Amy is returning home to spend Christmas with her family, the Satan’s Devils MC. She is bringing Xander along with her to help her get through it. He has been her rock for 3 months after something terrible happened to her that has left her broken. She is hoping to make it through her time at home without her family finding out what happened. She believes they will think less of her if they find out. Which is just crazy…they’re an outlaw MC for God’s sake!
Wizard is the current president of the MC, and is also the reason Amy left the compound 9 years ago. What will happen when he sees Amy again? Can she keep her secret from not only the club president, but her father and the rest of her family as well? What is Wizard’s take on the man Amy brought home with her? So many questions! You’ll find all the answers inside this amazing story!
This is a story of strength, family, love, humor, and support. It shows us the true value of family and friendships. It is a story filled with hope. Hope that nothing is insurmountable if you are surrounded by supportive people who love you and will be by your side no matter what. And yes…it has lots of sexy bits for your reading pleasure! Such a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed! I think you will too!
Amy’s Santa by Manda Mellett is the first book in the Satan’s Devils MC second generation series. This book is an absolutely fantastic start to a new spin off of this already brilliant series.
I love how this author keeps finding new ways to keep this series – this family – going. Each and every boom is different and yet is clearly part of the same world. Every time I pick up one of these books it already feels familiar and is so easy to get drawn into.
The characters were so alive for me in this book. I really wasn’t sure how they were going to work things out. Yet as always this author has created a brilliant story that is everything you could hope for.
I cannot wait to read the next books in this series.
In Amy’s Santa, Satan’s Devils MC-Next Generation Book 1 by Manda Mellett we have a story about lost love and a tragic experience. It’s a fast and easy read. This is about courage and making a tough decision and seeing it through. It’s not only about love lost but its about love regained. It’s not only about a tragic experience but it’s also about overcoming it in spite of the fear and the anxiety. There is much to think about in this little novel. There is some strong language, steamy situations and some violence that some might find offensive. But there is much to be learned if you are a deep-thinking type.
