A Wife by Christmas

Rate this book
All Cathy wanted to do was forget about her family. They had used her, got her to pay for everything, and then kicked her out of the engagement party. So she went to Storm’s bar and didn’t care it was now home to The Rebel’s MC.

The moment the brunette walked into the bar, Brick knew he wanted her. He’d been waiting a long time for the right woman, but seeing as it was Christmas, he was happy to just enjoy her for however long she needed.

Cathy had never fallen into bed with anyone. Brick, he’s a different kind of man, and one kiss, it’s not enough. One touch, just sets her on fire for more.

This is a miracle. He wanted a woman to settle down with, and Cathy walked right into his world. Now he’s not going to let her go. Brick
’s in this for the rest of his life, and he doesn’t need longer than a week to know what he wants.

But is Cathy ready to settle down. Does she want a husband, children, and to be part of an MC for the rest of her life?

Sam Crescent is passionate about fiction. She loves a good erotic romance and so it only made sense for her to spread her wings and start writing. She began writing in 2009 and finally got that first acceptance in 2011 by Total-E-Bound.
She loved creating new characters and delving into the worlds that she creates. When she’s not panicking about a story or arguing with a character, she can be found in her kitchen creating all kinds of havoc. Like her stories the creations in the kitchen can be just as dubious but sometimes things turn out great.

another romance fail

Returned for refund:

Heroine has spread her legs and let OM crawl between them to break her in, to lay claim to her innocence, her trust and vulnerability, forever severing the primal claim and bond that couldve been given to her soulmate by giving HIM those gifts. She will never ever be exclusively the hero’s, the memory of another man grunting and heaving and rutting all over her will always be there.

No thanks. I want my heroes possessive, knowing their woman is theirs alone and my heroines innocent and claimed ONLY by their soulmate, not getting plowed by OM. Life is too short for this kind of slop

Rebel MC - Bk 2 - A Wife By Christmas - By Sam Crescent

This is the second book featuring around members of The Rebel MC. We first met Rebel Constantine when he swept Willow Storm off her feet when he stormed into Storms Bar and showed Willow the magic of Christmas in the story Naughty and Nice and it was lovely to catch up with them again. That is where we first met Brick, the club VP. Brick has been on the road a long time, he has seen his prez Rebel settle down with his now wife Willow and daughter. Brick longs for the same, someone to call home, a family of his own. The whole of the last year he has been hoping for his future to walk in to his life, just when he is ready to give up all hope Cathy Newman comes into the bar, with her gorgeous flowing locks, soulful eyes and swaying hips. Brick knows in that instant she is the other half of his soul. Cathy is beautiful inside and out, she has a terrible sister who is a despicable character and a completely unsupportive family. She never thought she would find her Knight in shining leather but that is exactly what she finds in Brick. They are such great characters and bring out the best in one another. Their chemistry is electric and have some of the spiciest and sweetest moments shared together. They are definitely a couple who share in the Christmas magic and have a romance that I didn't want to end. I will definitely be re reading this romance again and again. Happy Reading.
Please note that I was given an arc of this book for my honest review which is exactly what I have given.
5 out of 5 stars.

Fantastic

Omg I read this book in one day .. I loved it , Cathy and Brick were meant to be . it was sweet sexy hot and great.
I gave it a 4 star because as much as Cathy's family and her sister Tiffany ruined her life , Brick told them off and said the sister had come to him at the club , and then that was it .
They were out of it to fast , should have shown them getting ruined .
Also I didnt like that Willow is the one that upset Cathy and she heard what Cathy said to her about Brick yet when Brick when and talked to Willow she was all like I have mom fog brain .. Please if she couldn't remember what Cathy said and that she is the one that upset her by what she said then Willow needs to seek help.

Cathy just wants to forget about her family. Her sister stole her ex-boyfriend from her. She planned and paid for their engagement party. And what does she get, booted from it. She definitely needs a drink. Rebel MC Brick wanted what his Prez had, a family. When he saw a curvy woman enter their bar, he knew she was the one. Cathy’s family a piece of work. Her sister Tiffany is so fake and a total manipulator. I could not believe her parents didn’t even see it. Thank goodness for Brick. He showed her was love was and stood up for her. With him by her side she realized she didn’t need them. She was successful and she had a real man that loved and cared for her. Not to mention she had a new family with the Rebel MC.

A Wife by Christmas is a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, opposites-attract, curvy girl gets her biker Christmas romance. Cathy is a 30 year old curvy beauty influencer. She is used and abused by her family regularly and is done. One night, she ends up at a biker bar after being kicked out of a family party that she paid for and organized. Brick is a burly, hunky, inked biker who is taken with Cathy as soon as she walks into the bar. The chemistry between these two was pure fire. Brick was such a sexy golden retriever who had Cathy's back in every way. Her family was INSANE. I loved this one so much. We got a great HEA in this fast-paced steamy Christmas read.

A Miracle at Christmas Time

Cathy’s life had been anything but easy. Parents who never listened, a sister who took everything she loved but when at the end of her tether she’d met Brick, well maybe her luck was just about to change!

A super hot read full of intense feelings and a man who would slay any of her demons including her family! He would protect her through all life’s ups and downs and love her forever but would this be what she wanted?

A beautifully well written festive read with lots of sizzling steamy moments!.

Cathy Newman walked into Storm’s Bar and she wrote for a beauty website and magazine where she tested and reviewed the products. She teased the bartender Connor about the owner- Willow. There she meets Brick. Both are instantly smitten although Cathy fights it a bit. Rebel was the MC club’s prez and he was married to the owner, Willow and they were a happy family with their daughter. Brick wanted that too. Cathy’s family are a piece of work. They always sided with her sister Tiffany. They all thought that Cathy was useless, but they used her just the same. I was livid and got angrier the more I read. Brick is perfect for Cathy and vice versa. I fell instantly in love with them as a couple. I loved how Brick knew right away that Cathy was special and the one for him. Reading about what her family put her through made me want to scream and beat up a punching bag. It always bothers me when it is family that hurts someone the most. How could they treat someone like that?! As Brick and Cathy fall for each other, it is steamy, romantic, sweet, and I so needed my AC. Plus, the fact that I was angry as all get out. Of course, everything isn’t perfect right away, but the fun is watching them figure it all out. I loved the story and can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Sam Crescent gifted us with a hot holiday novella.
Brick and Cathy meet at a bar during the holidays and whoosh, we are off on an adventure.
This was a quick read about biker Brick and beauty consultant Cathy, who walks into his bar after being kicked out of her sister’s engagement party,
Cathy comes from a cruel abusive family, and Brick is dying to meet the woman of his dreams.
Quick book, very little angst, just a fun loving holiday story. Steamy in parts and great read for the holidays.

This was a fun and hot insta-love romance that brought together biker, Brick, and Cathy, a gal seriously misused by her family. It was wild the stuff they had put Cathy through! Brick, after seeing his Prez find love and happiness, was searching for the same for himself. He couldn't get over the immediate and strong connection he had to Cathy the moment she walked in the bar. With lots of heat, open communication, and even some threats, these two managed to make the best Christmas together. I really enjoyed this one and have already read it twice ;D

Christmas Romance

Cathy’s family is the absolute worst. They are completely self centered and Cathy had to get away from their toxicity.

She ends up in a bar and attracts the attention of biker Brick. He knows immediately when he sees Cathy that she’s the one. He pulls out all the stops to make her his and ends up being her savior.

This was a sweet holiday romance. Quick and spicy with some good drama. Definitely recommend.

A Christmasy MC romance

This was a solid read, sweet, spicy, insta-love, holiday romance with family drama and a super protective MC MMC.

Brick has been thinking of settling down after watching his Prez, find happiness with his woman and child, and when Cathy, strolls into the bar, there is an instant connection.

Cathy’s family is toxic and Brick helps Cathy deal with that in a hot, protective, take no prisoners kind of way.

Cathy's family did not appreciate her. They used her for her time and her money. Her older sister Tiffany had stole her boyfriend and was now engaged to him. Cathy meets Brick at the bar. He's a MC member. They have an instant connection and hook up that night. I really enjoyed the story The only thing I feel like that would have made it better is if Tiffany's fiance would have ended up leaving her. Because I feel like that would have been perfect Karma.

Cathy meets Brick in a bar, after she is thrown out of the engagement party for her sister and her ex that she paid for. Brick is drawn to Cathy when she first comes in, he wants what his Pres has, she just might be what he is looking for.

Cathy is never one for an one night stand but there is something about Brick, he seems different, he sets her on fire. Brick is just what Cathy needs, someone to stand by her side when her crappy relatives come around.

Being used by her family to organise and fund her sisters engagement party to her own ex and being kicked out of said party, was the last straw for Cathy and she ends up going to a biker bar to unwind where she meets Brick. Brick had been thinking to settle down and then Cathy walks into his life and he knows shes the one, but can he convince her this isn't just for Christmas it's forever! Well written engaging, steamy, festive romance

Sam Crescent has another hit on her hands. I loved Brick and Cathy's story. Her family has used her for so long that it doesn't seem to phase her anymore but when she hooks up with Brick and he finds out what is going on, he's pissed. He knew the instant she walked into the bar that he wanted her. It was a fast read but it was packed with steamy scenes. And I loved how he told her family off! So good!

This is a must read!! I was hooked from the moment that Cathy walked into the bar and sat down to have a drink and Brick approached her. Loved the interaction between this couple and their journey of coming together.

Cathy deserved having this strong alpha man who protects her and treats her the way a woman should be treated. I highly recommend this read and prepare to be hooked from page one and not quit until you have finished the whole book from beginning to end!!!

A Wife By Christmas is a fun, fast-paced, quick read that is easily read in one sitting. When Brick decides he wants something he makes it happen quick and in a hurry and Cathy Newman never stood a chance! The second Brick saw Cathy he knew she would be his forever. Cathy was just out to de-stress but getting caught in Bricks sight was the best thing that could happen to her. Their journey is a whirlwind. It doesn't take them long to settle in right where they want to be, together.

A Wife by Christmas is a fun, edgy Christmas romance story. The instalove element to the story makes sense for Cathy and Brick and becomes a source of humor and entertainment as they try to figure each other out.

The book is an engaging, quick read with a lot of steamy romance, some humor, family-caused drama, and lots of feel-goods.

Super sweet love at first sight - what starts as a one night stand becomes more between Cathy and Brick. Cathy's family is super toxic and her sister is downright awful - stealing her boyfriend of 3 years. Her family - parents and sister - have ruined everything for Cathy, but Brick is having none of it. The "bad boy" motorcycle guy is sweet on her.

Cathy meets Brick after her family is terrible to her for the umpteenth time. Brick brings everything to Cathy's life that her family should have, love and security. Cathy's sister Tiffany is the worst of the bunch. Quick read, but a wonderful one.

Who knew walking into a bar to drink any your frustration would lead to happily ever after. Cathy Newman has been taken advantage of one too many times by her family and she is done with it. Brick has been looking for his happily ever after. Sitting and talking with Cathy makes him believe that he has finally met the one.

A sweet story of two people finding their other half.

Cathy has been treated poorly by her family all her life. So, on a particularly bad night, she goes to a bar, where she meets Brick. Cathy doesn't know she's about to meet her future. I love this book. It is going to be saved in my Read Again folder! It is spicy, sweet, and has the perfect HEA.

Perfect Biker Christmas Story

I loved this story of Brick and Cathy’s. She came from a family that treated her terribly but it was the man she met that night in a bar that would make all of dreams come true. I loved the Christmas theme of this book which only added to the appeal. The tough biker saw how special this woman really was.

Cathy and Brick, I was so looking forward to their story.
I feel let down, evil sister trope has been written by Sam before and this felt like a carbon copy.
Brick was rather sweet, Cathy was likeable as well has having some insecurities due to said evil sister taking her boyfriends.

I really admire the MMC! The FMC is lucky to have him by her side. He stands up for her and appreciates her even more than some of her own family do. He definitely deserves a big shout-out!.
