On the 3rd day of Christmas, Amo Jones gave to me… One hellraising reckoning, Two loved ones dyingAnd a broken girl hanging from a tree… mercy
Two bodies writhing
Three clues to find her
Four reasons to love him
And a man determined to get his life back…
On the 6th day of Christmas, Chantal Fernando gave to me…
One broken heart
Two best friends
Three familiar faces
Four sexy bikers
Five life regrets
Six nights at a bar
And a second chance romance that’s been long coming
On the 7th day of Christmas, Giana Darling gave to me
One blind eye
Two bloody fists
Three kidnapped whores
Four attempts at murder
Five fights a wrecking
Six nights a fucking
And a bloody biker and teenage runaway finding home.
Hellraiser’s Reckoning by Amo Jones
Christmas is here, but at The Devils Own headquarters, there’s always something to fear…
Hella has gone MIA, and Melissa just does not care…
Jingle bells are ringing, silent nights are screaming, nothing is as it seems, when the devil comes home singing…
Thunderstruck by MariaLisa deMora
Wildman learned a long time ago it wasn’t healthy for a man to trust. Trust led to a false confidence, and that could get a body killed. Only the mercy he’d earned would determine if that ending came quick, or slow. Brothers and the brotherhood of the club were his only allies.
Out of Sight by Giana Darling
I’d been running for so long, I didn’t have anyone to leave behind.
I liked it that way. No strings, no responsibilities, no one to even remember my name when I was gone.
The world was my oyster and I was sucking it down.
Until a dark night behind a bar when a stranger saves my life and pays a price that should have been mine to give.
Hollow Heart by Anne Malcom
Don’t judge a book by its cover, that’s how the saying goes, right?
It’s meant to stop people from judging others based on appearances, first impressions. Because people are often a lot more-or usually, lot less-than they appear.
That is not the case with me.
What you see is what you get.
What you see a club whore for the Sons of Templar MC.
Big tits, blonde hair, pretty face. Not much else.
I serve a purpose.
I might not be doing the Lord’s work.
In fact, I’m probably doing the Devil’s.
But I’m okay with that.
The Devil claimed me a long time ago, when he hollowed out my insides and burned everything than made me more than I appeared.
What I was before, who I was before, it’s nothing more than ashes.
I made a life from the ruins. It’s ugly and empty.
But it’s mine.
Until Christmas Eve.
Then my ugly life is no longer empty. And my hollow heart no longer belongs to me.

Omg goodness this was so good. I love every short story but Giana’s was soo good and i loved see some of the Fallen in the story. Makes me miss them even more. Tay and Matt were great. Loved seeing how they met.
I also loved Anne Malcolm’s Son of Templar short story. I can’t wait to go back and dive into books she has for that. The other ones im going to need to try to read soon!
What an early Christmas treat! I read this because one of my favorite authors (Giana Darling) contributed a story in it, but quickly read all the others. So happy I did because I got introduced to some new authors I wasn’t familiar with.
In regards to Giana’s short story about Cyclops and Kitten, so glad I got their backstory. The sacrifice and togetherness from these two from the start was so sweet to read. Also let’s be honest I love anything and any biker from the Fallen me series. Absolutely loved it.
The best kind of holiday read: dark and dirty. Forget joy and charity and good will among men; give me raw passion, ugly violence and gritty suspense. I didn’t know all the authors going in, but clearly talented birds flock together. I was truly impressed with the drama and heat (oh, the heat) these authors create in just a few chapters. Each story is its own sinful gift, and I enjoyed unwrapping each one.
4.75 stars
If you love MC Romance, then this anthology is going to be right up your alley. I have written a short review under each title.
Thunderstruck by MariaLisa deMora:
This is the first time that I have read this author but it sure won’t be the last time. I am a little mad at myself that in the 900 + books that I have read this year or even last year that I had never read anything by this author. Her writing style intrigued me and sucked me in right away. Even in this short story, I wanted more. Into even about the main character Wildman or the heroine Justine. It intrigued me enough that when I am done with this anthology, I am going in search of other works by this author in order to see if there are stories about the other characters and their MC’s. This was heavy on action, intrigue, and hot steamy times (that surprisingly enough for being a novella still had a story. A story that I wanted expanded on.
Out of Sight by Giana Darling
I discovered this author this year and am hooked. If you haven’t read her other works then I implore you to do so ASAP. There is just such a simple yet poetic way that she uses her words to create an image. For example, “The customers were seedy but interesting, with art painted, punched, and punctured into their faces and bodies, exposed by leather, lace, and cheap cotton.” So much more eloquent than saying they were tattooed and pierced and dressed opposite of the elite class. It was wonderful to see Zeus and Bat from The Fallen MC series make an appearance in this short novella. Matt and Tayline fit right into the mix of what that MC stands for. This novella was only five chapters and I may (totally did) have cursed that it didn’t go on longer because anything this author writes I want to consume.
Hellraiser’s Reckoning by Amo Jones
This is a first time read from this author in which I find myself mad at myself about this because I have had several of this author’s books on my TBR for a while. I will rectify that as soon as this anthology is done. Holy hell, this story left me with soooo many questions that I needed answered. There were so many characters that I wanted to know more about (Umm Hello Ade. Not sure where he came from, but I think he might be my future baby daddy). Especially, the relationship between Melissa and Hella. I wanted to know their backstory. From the prologue to the ending was just gold. I NEED more.
Hollow Heart by Anne Malcolm
I discovered this author this year too and when I say that I need her words like I need air I am not joking. Whether it is PNR or MC romance her words are truly the personification of sublime bliss. She writes words that stick with me for days, “… Graveyards aren’t for the dead, they were built by the living to fuel their delusions about comfort in the face of loss.” They are profound and usually come from a scene that is often so horrifying that it is a punch to the gut. Yet, she somehow manages to show how beauty can (and often does) live in the darkness. To be back in the midst of The Sons of Templar world was a dream come true. This is one of the grittiest and heart-wrenching MC series that I have ever read. It is violent and real, and heartbreaking. However, this brotherhood somehow still becomes family. When they hurt, I hurt, when tragedy strikes, I feel their loss. That is a gift. I loved these characters. Cain and “Scarlett”. I knew there was a story there in regards to Scarlett and boy was there. I wanted to know more about Cain. A large part of this was probably because I wanted this to go on and not end. I have missed this family. I can’t wait for more and this book definitely paved the way to opening that door as they get vengeance.
Long Time Coming by Chantal Fernando
This is a new to me author and again one I will be looking forward to catching up on in the future. Zach and April were sweet together in this second chance romance. This story was not a hard and gritty MC life. Instead, it was more focused on what had happened in the past with these two and building on how to fix the mistakes that had gotten the two of them where they were now. I wanted to know what was in store for them in the future and to know more about the secondary characters.
Hollow Heart
Anne Malcom
When Anne Malcom promises you a funeral in her new, dark Christmas novella believe her ok? This writer does not mess around, and what an awesome way to tie Sons Of Templar and Greenstone Security series back together!
I’m not giving away anything else, but this little stunner is hopping from the first word to the last and the s-e-x is OFF the chain! What a way to lead into the New Year, I can’t wait to see what Anne Malcom gives us next!
Out of Sight
Giana Darling
Tayline and Cy’s story is a little window into The Fallen MC heaven that I didn’t know I even needed considering I just finished Good Gone Bad a week or so ago.
Young love that caught fire when Cy tried to rescue Tayline from what was most certainly going to be an unhappy life as a woman sold into a trafficking ring. Tayline then returns the favour by saving Cy when some guys turn up at the hospital to retaliate for his prior bad acts.
Who knew I would find it sexy as all get out that the biker and his Lady get down to it with death flying all around? Apparently Ms. Darling did because she left NOTHING out, and gave us a little one on one time with Zeus on the side!
This the perfect book for dark MC romance lovers with stories from 5 of the hottest authors around! If you are already a fan of these authors you will get to catch up with some of your favorite characters while getting glimpses into future books. Each story delivers all the dark the dirty and the sexy you look for in this genre.
My favorites were Hellraiser’s Reckoning by Amo Jones and Hollow Heart by Anne Malcom. I will read anything and everything by these two authors so put them together in the same book and JACKPOT! Their writing is so unique and so unlike anything I’ve ever read before. They have this ability to make you love characters you shouldn’t and always ALWAYS keep you guessing about what they could possibly come up with next!
If you are new to MC romance this book is the perfect chance to try out multiple authors with quick reads that give you glimpses into their writing and the kind of stories they tell.
5 STARS!
Reviewed For I’m A Sweet And Sassy Book Whore
If you are a fan of any of the authors in the O Come All Ye Sinners anthology then you are in for one hell of a treat! I devoured the stories in this one and I personally have to admit that the ones written by Amo Jones and Giana Darling were my absolute favorites! Chantal Fernando’s was another one I just loved!
I can’t even lie, Amo Jones had me wanting to shoot my kindle because well I won’t spoil it but if you know who the story is about you will totally understand! Giana Darling, I love that we got to see how Cyclopes and Tayline got together because I had wondered about them when I first read about them in the first book of the series.
Like I said at the beginning if you are a fan of any of these authors you will want to grab O Come All Ye Sinners because you won’t want to miss out!
Out of sight by Giana Darling- I absolutely loved Tayline and Matt! I always want more when it comes to this authors books but it was a perfect short story for a couple I was curious about from the beginning of her series!
Amo Jones- I loved seeing Melissa and Hella again in this short story!
I have also loved the other short stories I have read from this anthology so far!
Loved loved LOVED this book and picked up a few more new favorite authors! Got this anthology to get a sample of some of these authors Bad Boys and the stories are AMAZING! They are short enough to read in one sitting and a MUST READ if you like tatted up bikers. Was so excited for the new story from Giana Darling, I love her Fallen Men MC and Cyclops origin story was SO good. Great to get to know Tayline as well and special appearance by the man of my dreams Zeus Garro! So extra shout out to the hot short atory by Giana but all the stories are a great into to others writing styles to find a new favorite one click author. I’m personally now stalking MariaLisa DeMora for more words lol but these were all great. Definitely hot quick and dirty!
5 STARS FOR HOLLOW HEART BY ANNE MALCOM!! This novella was perfection and reads like a full novel. This author’s words truly mesmerize me, it is like I am in the story watching it play out. There is drama, sexiness, great characters and lots of love amongst the family. You definitely want to read this book.
5 STARS FOR OUT OF SIGHT BY GIANA DARLING!! Wow, this story kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved Matt and Tagline they need each so much and fit together well. Guiana Darling always takes us on a wild ride.
I highly recommend you 1-Click, so worth with just the two stories I read.
Wow if you love some MC reads this is a great anthology!! Some of my favorite authors took part in this and gave us a glimpse into more of their MS books already out. I loved each story in a different way.
What more can you ask for with hot bikers doing what they need to do for the woman they want to claim or keep safe. If you have not read any of these authors this is a great quick read for you to get acquainted withe them and then to go an devour all of their books. I can say I have read almost everyone of these authors outside of this anthology and want to read some more.
You will not be disappointed in this and it is a taste of what you can discover from each of these authors and I highly recommend this and them to you.
Christmas stories never felt this good before. Darkness has it’s own beauty and the authors of the anthology have written about it in full glory! What a collection of dark, gritty and raw stories of passion and survival.
My favorites were “Out Of Sight” by Giana Darling, “Hellraiser’s Reckoning” by Amo Jones and “Hollow Heart” by Anne Malcom. Giana Darling tells a story about a wandering runaway girl and a free biker soul. Matt risked his life to rescue the unknown girl from traffickers and in the process finds his home. This couple is just a blast of passion, courage and emotions. I loved the chemistry between the two lost souls. Amo Jones’s story was about second chances. I think I would have killed Hella for what he made Melissa go through. But well, these men don’t live by rules. They go for whatever they have to do but they make sure to do things right later. For me the best story of the anthology was “Hollow Heart” Anne Malcom captured the very essence of biker life. I am in love with Scarlett aka Scar. She is so brave and beautiful. I was so sad to see her feeling so empty , frozen and useless inside. She deserved a man like Cain to give her own version of HEA. They are not perfect or normal. But pieces of their broken soul fit perfectly. I won’t forget the bad ass yet vulnerable Scar for a long time.
A must read Anthology for MC Romance lovers. The authors managed to do justice to every story in a short span. Best holiday read this year!
I hadn’t read anything from MariaLisa before this but I will now! All other authors involved are favorites of mine. If you love these authors, YOU HAVE to get this. If they’re new to you, these stories will have you hooked on all of them! Perfect anthology!
This anthology has everything I look for in a good read and even more than I ever expected. Dark and dirty bikers that fight for the love of their women? Check. Ladies that have the strength to stand on their own but are not afraid to open their heart to love? Check. Hot and sexy MC stories, set during the Christmas season, that will set your heart racing and keep you reading until the early morning hours? Check.
One of my two favorite stories in this anthology is “Hollow Heart” by Anne Malcolm. Scarlett is such a bada$$ character that has been through so much but is still a fighter. Love her and Cain together. “Out of Sight” by Giana Darling is aptly named and the story is filled with action from the start. Tayline is another character that is underestimated by the people around her because of her looks. She is smart, courageous, and has the strength to protect not only herself but the one biker that would sacrifice everything for her. I highly recommend giving this anthology a chance. If you love MC romances, you won’t be disappointed.
A very hot collection of MC books!!!!! I am a HUGE fan of MC books, and this anthology was right up my alley!!!! Five stars just isn’t enough!!!!!
Giana Darling and Amo Jones!!!!! GAHH!!!! I absolutely FLOVED their stories!!!!!!
Review for Hellraiser’s Reckoning
Amo Jones did it again and gave us another amazing installment in the Devil’s Own series. This story was sexy and intense and continues the shocking story of Hella and Melissa after that jaw-dropping announcement in the last book. But there are more relevations and new players in the game that made my head spin. Gahh!! This was pure kindle crack!
This book was fantastic and honestly makes me question everything. I was rooting for Melissa and Hella but was left with a million questions. I now seriously can not wait for Lucky Hundred! 4 stars! ~Ratula
+Omg…. now everything makes sense I had so many questions about Hella and Melissa left over from The Devil’s Own. Everything will be answered for the most part. I love Melissa’s spit fire attitude and she sure isn’t afraid to use it. She almost looses herself but quickly finds herself again.
I loved this book and can’t wait for the full length book!
Hot bad boy bikers? Holidays? Anthology chock full of amazing authors? SOLD! That was literally my reaction when I first saw this. Every story in this is special in its own way delivering a unique but equally unputdownable reads that kept me hooked, which honestly is a rare occurrence in anthologies for me. Ranging from the deliciously dark to the lighter side of dark there’s something here for everyone who loves bikers. So breaking it down, every last story in here is one that you don’t want to miss!
My personal favorite was Long Time Coming by Chantal Fernando. As a long time fan of her writing I was super excited to read her contribution to this and I can safely say I was not disappointed. She managed to delivery the same sexy, sweet, gritty goodness in a quick read just as wonderfully as she does in a full length novel. Zach and April stole my heart so quickly it’s not even funny!
While that was my favorite I can honestly say I discovered not just new favorites from authors I already loved, but also found myself falling in love with new to me authors too making this one of my favorite anthologies to date!
Hollow Heart from Anne Malcom
MC Perfection. I didn’t realise how much I missed the Sons of Templar MC until this tasty story landed on my Ipad. Alpha hotties, feisty women, plenty of action and sexy times guaranteed to melt your device. That ending had me flipping the pages for more. Cannot Wait!!
Out of Sight – Giana Darling
Oh how I loved these two. Opposites in many ways & exactly the same in others. Sacrifices are made. Friendships are forged and we get Giana’s spin on Insta Love – which I absolutely adored! Hope we get more of these two in future books.
Long Time Coming by Chantal Fernando
Oh how I’ve missed her MC books. Reminded me why she’s a one click MC author. Short but very sweet story of second chances and I couldn’t turn the pages quickly enough.
I have not finished reading all the stories, I did read Out of Sight by Giana Darling. It is fast, hot and furious. Matt and Tayline are two lonely souls drifting and find each other. They know they are meant to be from the moment their eyes meet. In a blink of an eye they are smack in the middle of trouble. This story is action packed and gives a glimpse of the dirty business Danner’s dad is embroiled in. Plus a treat with an appearance by Daddy Zeus. I’m hoping to read more of Matt and Tayline in a future story of The Fallen Men series.
