This book was a fun and really good book though I read it before Christmas. Smokey the President wants to do something special for Ava his wife and that is turning the clubhouse into Christmas land. The bikers are getting trees and decorating them along with the clubhouse. The problem is he is stressing everyone out because he wants it perfect yet most don’t even know what it is to look like.
Then poor Ava because Smokey won’t talk to her or get down their own decorations from the attic thinks he does not love her anymore and has found a new woman. They began to fight or she does. A really good story of having a group of bikers working at decorating in real life would just be funny. A very good book and would even be worth the read now.

This was a great Christmas novella and I loved seeing Smokey trying his very best to make amends to Ava. Throw in a dash of angst and catching up with all the characters I love and this was a great read. I can’t wait to see which of the Brothers gets his story told next

Hell's Bastard MC Christmas Special is a novella set in the Hell's Bastards MC series by Sam Crescent. If you are new to Sam Crescent's writing world, like me, I highly recommend you do what I should have done first and read Smokey, book 2 in the Hell's Bastard MC series. I fell like I am missing out on a crazily epic romance! I'm heading on over to amazon to purchase the first few books in this series and bingeing them ASAP!!

If you're not new to the Hell's Bastard MC Series and you love this series, I have a very strong feeling you are going to fall head over boots in love with Smokey and Ava all over again!! This novella definitely has me intrigued and looking forward to diving into the MC lifestyle.

I gave Hell's Bastards MC Christmas Special a four star rating due to a few moments where I had a hard time understanding and connecting with Ava's character. But that could be because I don't have the entire backstory yet.... We shall see!

Overall, I really enjoyed this sexy and swoony Christmas read and I can't wait to read more from Sam Crescent in the very near future!!

Impossible to review as I did not know this was a sequel And if just didn't work as a standalone. I tried but eventually tapped out with a reluctant DNF.

Seemed like I'd love it if I just had the first books.

Disappointed.

Hmm I may have bitten off more than I can chew with this one. Having not read this series before I didn’t know it was a novella that relies on alot of backstory early on. With the many characters it makes such a short book very tough going.

I struggle with books about insecurities where there is no communication. And for this book it’s the central focus. It’s understandable given Ava has recently had a baby, with issues Re body image and her husband’s involvement in the MC … but talk to the guy love! For goodness sake. Otherwise this book just gives whiney, depressing vibes. And the MC guys just sound sappy, and not really MC’ish in this book.

I’m hopeful others in the series are better? I’ve enjoyed multiple previous books by this author but this one seemed a little directionless.

An unnecessary novella and somewhat sequel to Smokey. Smokey is feeling guilty still on hurting his woman Ava and tries to give her the Christmas of her dreams but he's just looking like he's keeping secrets from her which causes a rift in their relationship. I found this novella to be a little bit stale and boring.

This book gives you the opportunity to meet the bad boy biker character's, and significant others, in the Hell's Bastards MC series. You get an introduction with a hint of drama, without spoilers. I am interested in reading there individual stories. However, it seemed like a computer translated the writing from another language and made it proper. Some of the grammar doesn't match the personalities that I would expect from bikers. For instance, I don't expect 'freaking' to come out of the mouth someone who rides a motorcycle. I am expexting more of a raw, bad boy, gritty personality from the MC members.

Thank you NetGalley for the eARC. I skipped all the other books in my pile and went straight to this one. I totally forgot how much I love this crew. I was so completely in love with this story and was immediately drawn back into their world. This is a must read for the holidays guys! go out and get your copy!

This book, wow, it's quite simply FABULOUS. Smokey is continuing to feel he must make up for his past mistakes with Ava. However Ava herself has moved on from their past and just wants his love, passion and to be reassured they will be together, forever. Poor Smokey continues to make mistakes is ignoring his club members who try to get him to accept Ava is ok. I suggest that you must read Smokey for reading this book so you have the background to their story.
Overall, this book was an addictive read, that I read in one sitting. It's passionate, it's highly emotional (I cried, often) and the ending had me swooning. I'll say it again, I loved this book
