Leather & Lights: A Motorcycle Club Holiday Romance
Horse only wanted three things out of life. That's it.
First, he wanted to live by rules that brought him peace.
Second, he wanted to surround himself with good people that would always have his back.
And finally, he wanted love.
Creating the Broken Kings Motorcycle Club gave him the first two.
Sadly, it also brought him an ex-wife who is determined to turn his life into hell.
Love, evidently, isn't for him and never would be.
Gwen had built a good life. She had friends, family, her own home, and a good job.
Then she turned thirty-five.
Celebrating her birthday should have been fun, instead it reminded her she was getting older and may always be alone.
She struggles to come to terms with that.
She likes her life but had always imagined having children and a devoted husband.
A chance meeting by the side of a road with a biker on Christmas Eve was not on her bingo card for ways to change her life.
Falling in love with a guy who said his name was Horse definitely wasn't.
Creating a life where this squeaky-clean, goes to church on Sunday type woman and a hardened biker who picks and chooses which laws to follow and which ones to break, could never work out—right?
Standalone Christmas Romance
Or is Christmas truly the time for miracles?

I knew I wanted to write when it became clear I couldn't be happy with just viewing other people's stories. I always wanted to rewrite them.
Like why did Jack have to die? Why couldn't Rose move her butt over? Because that was a huge piece of wood she was on, people.
Happy Endings should be fought for, but they should always happen. Mine might take some curves and twists, but they eventually get there.
Having published over fifty stories, it always feels surreal that this is my life. Hitting USA Today had me crying for days, but nothing is more special than hearing from readers that they loved one of my books.

My rating: 4 1/2 stars
What I liked: This book had me cracking up!! The dog part was hilarious at the end. Wyatt/Horse(H) and Gwen(h) were perfect for each other! Loved how the ex wife got what she deserved.
What I didn’t like: I wish we got to read a scene with Wyatt confronting his ex at the jail house.
***Major Spoilers/ Details/Triggers/Tropes: MC, Insta-Love, Crazy Ex (she plans to kill the H and their child).
H is the president of the MC. h is a nurse. H sees the h walking and right away wants to get to know her. When H pulls over to talk to her, they get shot at. While h is taking care of the H at the hospital, he asks her out on a date. That’s the beginning of their relationship and from there we have an H who is all in and a h that needs just a little convincing (who just wants a family of her own). Throw in a child that the H has with his ex wife (who just wants to be wanted and love), and cute dog (which thinks he is in charge) and a crazy ex wife (who tries to kill the H along with their son). After everything is said and done we get a HEA with the ex being dealt with, the H and h together with the son and a baby on the way.
Final thoughts: This book was exactly what I needed. I was smiling the whole time. Can’t wait to see whose book comes next.

OK until the end.
This book was good until the ending involving the dogs. That was just frigging gross. Who wants to read about dogs having sex? Barf.

Jordan Marie delivered a great little Christmas romance with Horse and Gwen. Definitely needed their story.
Horse thought all his Christmas wishes couldn’t be granted, not until Santa Gwen waltzed across the street. And just when he was making his move, a very unfortunate incident took place that had Gwen taking care of the big guy instead of being romanced. He did however convince Gwen to go out on a date. It was a bit tricky, but Horse was determined. He let Gwen know he was all in. She completed his happiness list. And although Gwen fought it, she knew deep down Horse was her future.
Maybe Christmas wishes do come true!

I loved this sweet Christmas romance between Horse and Gwen. The minute Horse met her, she was it for him. But being president of an MC, can Gwen fit in with his brothers? Gwen finally falls in love with Horse and realizes he gives her the love and family she always wanted. That is what Christmas is about

Leather And Lights: A Motorcycle Club Holiday Romance : Part of the 25 Days Of Christmas : Bikers And Mobsters Multi Author Series 2025 - By Jordan Marie
I always love anything Jordan Marie writes and this is a fantastic example of why. This witty, romantic, sweet story is a perfect festive read but also enjoyable anytime of the year. From the get go the chapter titles are hilarious and give you a taste of what is to come and it does not disappoint. Wyatt "Horse" Gates is the president of the Broken Kings Motorcycle Club. When he created the club he only wanted three things from life, to surround himself with good and loyal people, he wanted a peaceful life and to find love. He got the first two but lost out on the latter after a bitter divorce from a crazy and viperous wench Dee, unsure he would ever find it. However, he did get one reason to make him happy, his beautiful son Caleb. One morning when Wyatt crosses paths with a vision of loveliness his whole world changes. Gwen Murphy is an APRN and has it all, family, friends, a job she loves, a home everything a girl could wish for accept what she truly longs for, a man that loves her and wants to share a family and future with her. After celebrating her thirty fifth birthday she finds her life quite depressing then she stumbles across Wyatt and her world will never be the same ever again. This story is full of festive fun and the connection between Gwen and Wyatt is instant and undeniable. This is a well written story more focused on the couple than MC drama but that is not a bad thing. The heat between Gwen and Wyatt is scorching hot and filled with feeling. The relationship between Gwen and Caleb is beautiful and would melt the coldest of hearts. Wyatt and Baby, later to be renamed Buddy, is a miniature white poodle and a total scene stealer. He is the real star. This story is the perfect escape and the epilogue will have you laughing out loud, it is one of the best I have ever read. I hope that Jordan continues with this series of characters and they get their own stories. They still have lots to deliver in a way that only Jordan can. I truly cannot recommend this story enough, you are going to love it! Happy Reading.
5 out of 5 stars.

Horse is president of his MC, and he has an ex-wife who is determined to ruin his life, while Gwen has it all, family, friendships, her own home, and a good job, and she is content with her life until her 35th birthday. A chance meeting at the side of the road has Horse and Gwen crossing paths. Gwen’s dog really steels the show, and the last chapter is hysterical.
This is a well written easy to read, action packed story, with family, friendships, emotions, tension, engaging and realistic characters, humour, witty banter, sizzling chemistry, and love, which leads to an entertaining, twisted, and unpredictable, Christmas romance.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Horse has the MC and his son Caleb and with his romantic track record he is beginning to wonder if that is all he can have until a chance encounter with Gwen changes everything. He thought he was coming to her rescue, but it is she who was there when the action ramped up and now he just needs to convince her to stay.
Gwen appears to have everything you could want in your life except for love. When Horse comes to her rescue she isn’t sure what to make of the tattooed biker especially when they find themselves in danger. Their loves are so different however her dog and his son already know they are meant to be a family.
The interactions between them are humorous and hot as Horse and Gwen find love where, when and with who they never expected.

Leather and Lights🏍️🎄
Leather and Lights is a fantastic Christmas story of Horse and Gwen❣️
Horse sees Gwen walking home late one night in her Mrs Clause outfit and he knows, just by looking at her, that she is special. Unfortunately, their meeting is cut short when someone takes a shot at them.
I loved this story as even though it’s an MC story with Christmas influence, it is also funny and heartwarming (especially when we meet Caleb) and even more so when Horse takes a shine to Gwen’s dog🤣🤣 A not to be missed Christmas story🙌 I received an advanced copy and willingly leave my honest review❤️🩹

An absolute delight! Gwen and Horse meet by chance when she is walking down the street in the cold. Horse is awestruck and determined to get this woman on the back of his bike. Every word she speaks to him just reinforces his desire to know her, intimately. When shots ring out, he covers her with his body, protecting her, even though he is already bleeding. After she stitches him up, he gets her to agree to a date. With an adorable son, Horse quickly wins over Gwen's dog and takes ownership of her heart. So sweet and full of joy, with plenty of heat, what a holiday gem! Curl up with this couple, sip some eggnog and enjoy!

Horse and Gwen's story was wonderful, from the moment they met there was instant connection that drew them together, their journey had it's bumps a long the way but they were strong and well matched, a strong connection, off the charts steamy chemistry, they had a little of everything, Gwen andd Horse were just perfect together, I enjoyed their story. I'd recommend reading this, Jordan Marie did a wonderful job on the plot and characters, it was written well, she's truly talented, great stories.
Thank you, Jordan Marie, Wonderful work ❤️

Leather and Lights was a sweet little MC treat for the holiday season, a perfect mix of Christmas and Bikers.
Horse and Gwen meet and it's full steam ahead, their story has insta love, lust and plenty of witty banter.
Horse with baby had me laughing so much, I love a big bad biker with a soft side.
The scenes with little Caleb and Gwen melted my heart, he is so adorable and Gwen really stepped up for him, loved her for that.
This was a feel good story, with a little danger, badass bikers, pleny of spice and a lot of festive cheer, that epilogue OMG! 🤣🤣

Absolutely awesome!!!! I loved this book so much and exactly what I needed this Christmas. Jordan Marie is the biker queen and wrote an amazing story. Horse is an over the top sexy biker who knows what he wants immediately which is Gwen. She is a sassy and awesome lady with an adorable dog that steals the show. Then there’s Horse’s son Caleb who is so amazing, unfortunately he is caught up in a horrible mess. This story does have heartbreak, but it’s also filled with love, family, brotherhood, and a lot of sexy time 😊
It has it all!! It’s Absolutely Amazing!!!!

Horse sees Gwen and Baby walking home and immediately knows Gwen is it for him. He wasn't too sure about Baby, but he grew on him real fast. Gwen had been hurt in the past, so she was reserved with Horse. But boy, did he smash her walls to smithereens. Caleb was absolutely adorable. OMG, the epilog had me howling. You'll understand that when you read the book. I'm really hoping there will be more books in this series. I want to read about Storm and Mal. Knife also intrigues me. Please, Jordan Marie, write more in this series.
I absolutely recommend this book.

Great festive read 😁
Motors, chaos, and alpha bikers are what Jordan does best and this little festive number delivers in spades. Easy to read and the story is lighter than most of her MCs but hey its Christmas.
Horse and Gwen sweet as pie. Loved all the MC guys especially Pie you can just tell he is going to be a hoot and a half. And stay tuned for the epilogue hilarious as Jordan mixes in some creative genius from some of her other series - totally had me in stitches lol 😂

Leather and Lights - Rocked me around the Christmas Tree!
This is one of the best Christmas stories I have read this season. Jordan Marie delivers on a beautiful written tale that this author exceeds at. The characters are refreshing and the love story sweet. Do not get me started on Buddy, he steals the show! I've been reading as many of the biker stories for Christmas and this book is a stand out. So, five star review and a must read. Get started you will not be disappointed. Peace out.

Leather and Lights is a heartwarming Christmas romance written by the amazing author Jordan Marie. This story is part of the 25 Days of Christmas: Bikers & Mobsters series. Gwen and Wyatt have amazing banter and a sizzling chemistry. Loved the connection between Gwen and Caleb. Highly entertaining with loads of steamy scenes, fast pace story, family drama like you wouldn't believe, awesome characters, lots of emotions, and impossible to put down.
Loved that epilogue, I’m still laughing.

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time! I had a very hard time putting it down, I wanted to ignore all my responsibilities so I could read this. Jordan's humor shines through in this romantic alpha male Christmas story. The epilogue was extra entertaining. I loved Wyatt (Horse) and Gwen! Wyatt's protective nature & romantic ways are a perfect balance that will have you swooning.
Just do yourself a favor and read it, you won't be sorry.

I absolutely love this book. It was a quick read and just keeps your interest from start to finish. I loved horse and how he took one look at Gwen and knew she was his. They were perfect together. The story will keep you laughing at certain parts and just keep your interest as a whole I highly recommend it.

good quirky read
Absolutely loved this Christmas mc romance that was definitely something different and so very very quirky. Great characters and loved both main characters and their friends. Would have liked to see some retribution handed out by the Mc themselves on behalf of the adorable child. Great epilogue, I’m still laughing.

Gwen and Wyatt are so great together! Their story moved fast but it didn't feel rushed. I absolutely love how quick they fall for each other and how fast Baby I mean Buddy bonds with Wyatt. I hope we get more from them in future books, especially Buddy and his crew. I need more from his POV because that epilogue had me crying I was laughing so hard.
December 18, 2025
Jordan Marie can write anything, she wrote one hell if a Christmas story with her MC twist. Typical boy meets girl story but with a Jordan twist. Because who expects Gwen to instead of having that hot date with the biker she ends up having to care for him. Love the characters and the holiday cheer with this novel.

I just loved it..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've been coming across horrible books from other authors for the last two weeks. Thank you, JM, for giving me something good to read. This book gave you all the emotions and some good sex scenes. Epilogue made me say wtf when I saw it was from Buddy's pov however I liked it. Check this out, people. Happy reading! 🙋🏽♀️
December 26, 2025
with someone named Horse I wasnt sure what we were gonna get lol. His club and his son are 2 of the biggest things he wants when he meets Gwen she's the third. she wants nothing to do with him at first and I found that hilarious. when he takes over her dog I died laughing. these two definitely work together and super cute ending.

Horse & Gwen
Exactly the instalove romance that I love. Especially when it’s an MC romance. From the blurb, I was expecting Horse’s ex-wife to be no-good, but wow. She really took that to new levels. While there were some serious topics, overall, this had lots of laughter and lightness. Short and steamy.

Heartfelt and so funny
Yes, it’s an MC book, insta-love (which I love, so I’m a little biased). But this story is heartwarming and funny as hell. I laughed out loud, I sighed, I cried and I felt it ended on a great note! This is my 1st book by Jordan Marie, but it definitely won’t be my last!

3.25 stars. Two likable mains. Instalove, especially on H’s part. Would have given more stars but there are parts that went off the rails with disturbing sexual commentary and the epilogue from the dogs point of view - started off sweet and kind of funny and ended up with his POV while having sex with another dog. 🤢 NO ONE needs to read that!!

Winning Epilogue
The book is a good read, the Pres "taking" ownership of Baby er Buddy was a great little side story. But seriously the epilogue by Buddy too funny and a real winner 🙃

Hot sweet insta love. Gwyn and Horse are perfect together. He falls first but once she falls it’s a perfect combination. You will laugh and smile thru most of the book. Jordan Marie I can’t wait to read the rest of the stories!
