Heaven is finally having Saxon Gray in my arms. Hell is knowing that I might lose him.
After I spent years loving him from a distance, the president of the Hellfire Riders MC is finally mine. Every day he’s at my side; every night he’s in my bed. It would be everything I’d ever wanted, except my dad is sick, and trouble is brewing now that Saxon’s club is taking over my father’s. Because bad blood between the two MCs still lingers, and an old rule requiring Saxon to share me with the other club members is being used as a weapon, forcing him to choose between me and the Hellfire Riders.
And I don’t know if he’ll choose me…or how far I might go to keep him.
TAKING IT ALL is a complete novella. No cliffhangers—only hot and sexy romance. The Motorcycle Clubs series is romance for readers who want all of the heat and emotion, but who don't have all of the time.
HIS WILD DESIRE - Out now! OFF LIMITS - Out now! WANTING IT ALL - Out now! HER SECRET PLEASURE - Out now! PACKING DOUBLE - Out now! TAKING IT ALL – Out now! THEIR SECRET NEED -- October 29!
Kati Wilde is a tight-lipped, loose-hipped woman of indeterminate age and low breeding. Born into a very large family, she now has a very small family (no laws were broken in this transition), and she writes romantic fiction to assuage her darker urge to write Transformers erotica. She lives in Oregon, so most of you are safely far enough away, and has two old cats.
Kati writes the Hellfire Riders MC romance series and will be publishing her first New Adult novel, Going Nowhere Fast, with Berkley later this year.
About Our Series:
The Motorcycle Clubs series is for romance readers who want all the heat and emotion, but who don’t have all of the time. At this time, we are only publishing novellas — our intention is to provide readers with short (yet satisfying) MC romances. Sometimes we might continue one couple’s story over several novellas, but each individual novella will have a satisfying romantic resolution. Because they are short, we focus the stories on the eroticism and romance, and will be building the MC worlds as each series progresses.

Spoiler..Alert....Spoiler....Alert....Spoiler Alert.....For the record the author did an awesome job with this story. I had a huge emotional reaction....mainly rage, but that's just a credit to the writer's awesome talent. Don't let my ranting and ravings throw you off, because it was that good. So now onto the review. The story itself was good, very good. Obvious I was pissed, still am. Everyday women make sacrifices for their men, rarely do you hear of men doing the same for us. So here's this woman who has to go through something very traumatizing just to prove here worth and loyalties to an undeserving club. Yeah that's whacked, talking about being disgusted! And for what, so her old man doesn't walk away from a club or lose his reigning title...bull shit! Yes I know this is an escape, meant to be entertainment, love and blah...blah...blah. But I'll take the high ground with something so precious as the act of making love or even sex isn't mutual. This wasn't it was a desperate act forced upon the two over by laws written by sadistically bastard. Any hotness or arousal was lost towards the end cause I felt Saxon Gray was a coward. As for Jenny's let just say I hope he finds out what took place and kicks ass. Awesome read and moving on to the sequel.
A pretty hot romance, that I can agree. My only issue is that I am very weird about "ménage attacks" and this had one out of nowhere- now I did enjoy it because it was well written and SUPER HOT and unexpected- but I just.. I cannot lol. I wasn't prepared for it mentally and I have an issue with this trope in romances. And this is why I avoid MC romances like plague, and usually read after multiple reassurances. Anyways, its my personal prejudice and I will not deal with it.
SG Ladies: f/f/m scene. The other f is not with the H ;)
The First Lady scene doesn't bother me. It was kinda hot ;)
BUT I have a problem with the clause to begin with. Mainly because it was just bullshit and if they respected their Prez to begin with I don't think they would have forced his hand. The fact they did, over this particular issue, tells me there are deeper issues in this club and they have not solved them, only delayed them.
After finishing book 1 of this series Wanting It All I moved on to this book, which is a continuation of Saxon/Jenny's love story. Again, Ms. Wilde has shown the ability to write an engaging short story filled with sweet love, hot sex and a little angst thrown in. Saxon shows the strength of his love by his willingness to give up everything and place Jenny first in his life. I'm not usually a fan of short stories, I like my stories long and detailed. Ms. Wilde is able to satisfy all of my expectations because she packs so much in her short stories. Both of the books in this series are available on Kindle Unlimited also. Trigger warning for some readers: There is one sex scene between Saxon/Jenny and another female while a few of the club members watch. This all occurs due to an archaic rule in the club's bylaws. There is no cheating and a definite HEA.

4 "My woman. Your first lady." Stars
Goodness gracious did Kati Wilde turn up the heat in this installment of the Hellfire Riders. As the relationship between Saxon and Jenny becomes more serious the club gets involved invoking a clause made long ago. These two characters have to trust fully. Jenny really came into being an old lady in this one and I loved it. Lily - the first patched female MC member I've met - was so in moving that awesomeness forward. This novella, Taking It All, starts getting more and more erotic and the writing of it was perfect. Saxon's dirty talking mouth gets really steamy. With club issues coming to a head we didn't get a lot of MC plot but it's there lurking in the shadows. For such short books they pack big punches.
I was scared of this book. Because: "The First Lady Clause" (or whatever it was called).
I actually think the author handled it well; she could of just had the club vote against it, but I think that would have made the book feel safe and maybe a little boring/disappointing. I am not into reading about girl on girl, but Saxon/Jenny/Lily... that was hot.
So the First Lady Clause bullshit really pissed me off. I was not impressed. The whole thing just gave me the heebee-jeebees to be honest and I don't think it would have if this was just purely PWP but I'm kind of interested in what happens and I like Jenny and Saxon. I thought his brothers were all a shower of wankers and they totally ruined my fantasy biker kick. Thankfully none of them were involved in the end and I could totally see why Lily was chosen to step up. Even though it mostly just annoyed me, as I said, I'm interested now and I'm more than interested in Lily and Blowback. Can't wait to read their books.
Because MC Romance is my crack, I’ve been glooming through these MC Romance novellas! (To see what I mean by ‘these MC Romance novellas’, see this review.) Taking It All picks up a week after Wanting It All (my review) ends and I am so glad we find out what the ‘First Lady Clause’ is! But what it is, is crazy insane! It puts Saxon in a difficult position, being that he is the Hellfire Riders’ president and is expected to uphold all club rules. I love Saxon for putting Jenny first, and I love Jenny for not making letting him make a decision in regards to this clause.
I’d have thought it would be easy to take care of this clause, with him being the president and all, but it wasn’t that simple. And the way Saxon handles this clause could have a sour effect on the deal he made with Jenny’s father. But the way the author handled it, especially with Jenny’s past, worked. It wasn’t easily dismissed or brushed off but it was handled in the best way possible.
Then there’s the deal Saxon made with Jenny’s father, which brings up an old decision the Hellfire Riders made that caused some mixed reactions with its members. This will be interesting to see play out.
The next book in the Hellfire Riders MC series, Having It All, will also be Saxon and Jenny’s book but I’m hoping after that we’ll get Lily’s book.
Memorable Moment:
Forever is a long way away, though. Until then, even if I don’t have Saxon’s heart, I have him. That’s enough for now.
This is a review of all books in the interconnected Motorcycle Clubs series.
All the Clubs in these books are plagues by the same national MC group, a group of White Supremacists. You may not think that three different authors can tie-in three clubs to work well as a series, but I am here to tell you, they did an AWESOME JOB!
Hellfire Riders MC by Kati Wilde – Wanting It All, and Taking It All.
The Hellfire Riders are a club whose old president was sick and twisted. Saxon, the new president, wants to take a new, old lady. Will the First Lady clause stand in his way?
Wanting It All is the beginning of the story for Jenny and Saxon, AKA Wolf. When the one man you want went to prison for protecting you from another MC, how do you ever say thank you? Jenny’s dad is the president of the Titans MC, and when he finds out he has cancer, he approaches Saxon about joining the clubs. Saxon only wants Jenny out of the deal; the extra land and club house are a bonus. When Jenny and Saxon get together, they set the barn on fire.
In Taking It All we learn more about the First Lady clause, and get to see more of Saxon’s alpha side. What a delicious combination! But will Saxon walk away or will Jenny be able to go through with the clause to help her man? With her past, how will she get over the fact that all the guys will be watching? But when the decision is made, there is no going back.
Bedlam Butchers MC series by Ruby Dixon – Off Limits, Packing Double, and Double Trouble
The Bedlam Butchers are a club who do everything together. EVERYTHING! They have two presidents, two VP’s, two of everything. But not only do they share the responsibilities, they also share their women.
Off Limits is HOT! When the touching starts in an unexpected situation, you almost feel the tension and the need to moan. The chemistry between Lucky and Solo is off the charts.
Packing Double is the introduction to the “We do everything together” mantra. And when I say everything, I mean it. They ride together, they make decisions together, and they fuck together. The co-presidents Gemini and Domino are alpha male to the extreme. You would not think that two alpha males and one woman would work, but oh my lawd, does it ever!
Double Trouble is the enforcer’s book. Muscle and Beast take a scared, virginal, and very shy, Shy. When she needs protecting, Muscle and Beast are there to make sure she is okay. When it’s discovered she knows of a snitch and doesn’t come forward, can these two save her? Out of the bedroom there is chemistry between these three. But in the bedroom? It’s explosive!
Death Lords MC series by Ella Goode – His Wild Desire, Her Secret Pleasure, and Their Private Need
The Death Lords are a MC that has a rivalry with another MC. Add in a Librarian, a nomad biker, and a preacher’s daughter, and you get a steamy, panty-soaking read.
His Wild Desire… Wow! When Grant, AKA Wrecker, gets out of prison, he intends to take back up his relationship. With his step-sister. Chelsea is struggles with the thought of what others might think. Once she stops thinking so much, the sheets start to smoke! Five years in prison definitely gave Wrecker and Chelsea enough sexual tension to snap a regular man in half.
In Her Secret Pleasure the Librarian – and daughter of a nomad – Pippa, is new in town. Judge, the Death Lords President, has had his eyes on her since she first rolled into town. Judge is a dirty talking, Alpha male hell bent on screwing some sense in to Pippa. And when I say screw, I mean dirty, rough and in every possible place.
Their Private Need features a quiet virgin, Annie. She’s the preacher’s daughter and part time volunteer at the library; she doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, but she has a secret fantasy. When Easy lays eyes on her, he knows she is the one for him and Michigan. Michigan is not convinced because he had a bad past experience with a preacher’s daughter. Once he is convinced, lose your underwear, it will just save them from being wet!
Overall, this series of series will get your motor running and keep it on edge. Find a sturdy horizontal surface, you will need it! ~ Devlynn, 5 stars
Reread The first lady clause was bs but I still don't have a problem with the scene with Zoomie . Unfortunately I'm not as enamored of the relationship between Saxon and Jenny as I was. I hate that he's always wanted her but did nothing fir so long. Rating lowered to 3 stars
Originally read January 29th, re-read June 9th 2018 Well now....when I originally read this i admit I skipped the scene with Zoomie, on my re-read I read the entire thing though and although I'm a proud card carrying member of the safety gang i wasn't bothered at all. Yes the law was ridiculous but Jenny chose to go through with it and the way it was written? Where we experience her discomfort? I had absolutely no problems with that scene, it's a mc book so some disconcerting scenes are expected. I loved it!!!!
So, to prove her worth the President's wife has to fuck him in front of all the club? Exactly what the fuck is she proving? The MOST STUPID thing I've ever heard.
Not to mention this disgusting filthy club is FORCING & COERCING an innocent shy woman who was previously raped to participate in this RUBBISH.
Liked the story right up until the end. Just couldn't see Jenny doing what she did and how she did it at the end. I understand her reasoning it just seemed so out of character!
This is the second novella in the Hellfire Riders MC series. Once again this is about Saxon and Jenny. The first novella was only from Jenny’s POV. It was interesting to have some chapters told from Saxon’s POV this time. 👏🏻 We got to sit in on some club business that we otherwise would have missed.
Most of this novella dealt with the “First Lady Clause” that was mentioned in the first novella. This is a clause that was installed as a club rule during the reign of the previous president of the Hellfire Riders. Basically it states that the club gets to vote on whether the woman the president chooses is worthy to stand by his side. The process includes witnessing the woman “riding” (the law is very specific about position) the president and the option to “show their admiration” during the sex act. Supposedly this will prove that she trusts the club and puts them first. The president is not allowed to touch her in any way, lest it be said that he forced her. Saxon really wants no part of this because of his feelings for Jenny. He doesn’t want to share her in any way. Plus, Jenny was traumatized by a rival gang member when she was only 16.
Unfortunately, the club members are pushing for the clause to be upheld because if it’s not, then how can they trust their president to uphold other laws of the club. Saxon doesn’t want to hurt Jenny in any way. Will he have to choose between the club and Jenny?
Just a warning ⚠️: there is some FF action in this novella. That is really not my jam. Then again, Ms. Wilde talks about all the lady bits 🐈💦quite freely anyway. Now there’s extra! Yay! 🥴🤢
Overall, I’d say this installment to the series was once again meh 🫤. Compared to another MC series I read, this is very tame and somewhat boring. Being so short, there’s not a lot of MC stuff that they get involved in because the story is focused on the couple. Maybe that will change as the series moves forward. 🤷🏻♀️
Jenny and Saxon's story continues here as they try to navigate the the complicated MC world. The emotional bond between them deepens and it is evident that they genuinely want to be with each other. Some of the MC's tules are quite questionable and honestly, initially I thought things would play out differently. Although I do like the general story, there was a scene here that was just not my cup of tea and to be frank, I was a tad unpleasantly surprised. No judgement here, but it is simply not something that I do like in the stories that I read.
So I’ve read this series out of order. I started with “Losing it all”, which is the last book in the series. It was absolutely amazing and it set the bar high. I couldn’t wait to go back and read about the other couples, but so far I have been disappointed.
There’s not a lot of substance to this book. I get that that it’s a novella, but it was mostly just literary porn. The first novella, wanting it all, was much better than thus book. I guess every book needs some “drama” to make it interesting. There was the overarching drama with the rival MC, the Eighty-Eight club, which spans the first book and this one, but the main “drama” in this book was utterly stupid. Literally something you would see in a porno! There’s an old clause in the bylaws of the Hellfire Rider’s club that says that the president has to bang his wife/old lady in front of the whole club and they get to show their “appreciation” for her by joining in.... cue the 80’s porn music. It was just ridiculous.
The big scene where Saxon is supposed to bone Jenny in reverse cowgirl so that everyone can see all of her girly parts just to make sure she willing was honestly just so awkward. She only does it in order to save Saxon’s position as president. She’s really not into it at first and neither is anyone who is watching. She’s “dry as a bone” and the spectators are just sitting there “stiff and uncomfortable”.... AWKWARD... so in order to loosen her up they bring in Lily for some girl-on-girl action! It was cringeworthy! For me, it ruined the romance between Saxon and Jenny. It also really ruined the friendship between Lily and Jenny. Also it was really demeaning towards Lily. They set her up as this bad ass biker, who doesn’t take shit from any of the guys, but then she’s performing oral sex on Jenny for their enjoyment. It was just bizarre.
It was erotica, with no substance whatsoever.

Looking around I came across 'Wanting It All' and since it was an MC book I thought I'd give it a go and I wasn't disappointed, I really enjoyed the book and the characters and after finishing that I couldn't wait to start this one and again it didn't disappoint. This picks up where 'Wanting' finished, after years of wanting each other it looks like things might actually work out for Saxon and Jenny but there's a really stupid old club rule called the First Lady Clause which could spoil everything and as if this wasn't bad enough Jenny is having to deal with her fathers diminishing health while Saxon has the Steel Titans and the Eighty-Eights to sort out. There was a lot more sex in this book but it worked, sometimes sex comes at the detriment of the story but since we knew the characters and had the outline from 'Wanting' it wasn't a problem plus there were enough club scenes to keep this moving and did I mention it was HOT!!! I'm going straight into 'Having It All' now.

Still really like the story and characters so far but the first lady clause was disgusting, ridiculous and easily avoided. I have nothing against voyuerism, it can be really sexy in books but *spoilers* this was hard to read and not hot at all until it got slightly better at the end, but it shouldn't have happened at all. No one should be forced to have sex in front of others and saying she chose to do that isn't really true. She didn't want to, she felt she had to and wasn't into it at all, that makes it icky and not hot to me. I get that it's MC and unconventional but this club seemed pretty mc-lite until this and yes I know it could've been super dark if they'd followed it to the letter but since they didn't AT ALL I have no idea why they even went through with any part of it...doesn't make sense. Either commit and go full dark MC or don't ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ also annoyed that after all that he hasn't said anything about removing that rule from the books... They fucking better, so gross and awful.
This one continues Saxon and Jenny's relationship, but kinda moves it into overdrive. We also have the two clubs combining to go after an enemy of both of them. The club stuff went pretty good and they did it in a way to not make either club feel like they were lessor.
Things between Saxon and Jenny get pretty tense. To take things to the next level for them they have to over come a stupid club rule, one that really needs to go away. I liked how both Saxon and Jenny handled things. Both of them knew in the end the other was the one they were going to pick and really that is all that a person needs to know.
The story of Jenny and Saxon continued in this installment and kept me more than content. Well, for most of the time. Jenny's ordeal almost broke my heart. To be honest, I wasn't prepared for tears in my eyes when I started to read this series. I expected light read and instead of it, I got one with a really powerful story.
This one wasn't nearly as good as the first one. The final sex scene was, interesting. FFM and I thought it was awkward and not very sexy. Maybe the author wasn't trying to make it hot. I had such a hard time trying to figure out their sexual positions. Distracting.
Second instalment in this series and Saxon and Jenny’s story.
I am a selective mc reader..I find the line between loving and disliking an mc book a very fine line..and as I have read all of Kati’s other books I had to try this series out... and it was a massive hit for me!
I really enjoyed the story and found myself captivated by its main and side characters from the get go. I was ecstatic to find that the women were strong and fearless and there was a fantastic story within the pages.
This is a review for part 2 but I devoured 1 - 3 in one sitting because I enjoyed it that much.
I just finished Taking It All and I loved it. It follows in the Hellfire Riders series with Wanting It All being first. It picks up right at the end of it and it's all about bringing the Titans(her dad's club) and the Riders (Saxton's club) together since Jenny's dad is dying. She has accepted Saxs offer even though there wasn't really a choice in the matter, the heart wants what the heart wants. Eighty Eights still want revenge. It's gonna be a real tough couple of months for them. What Jenny doesn't expect is the First Lady Clause. This means by Sax taking her as his ole lady, she has to take him bareback in front off his brothers and they have to somehow show their appreciation to her. To Jenny this is nerve wracking since she is scared and skittish with men except Sax but she doesn't want him to choose between the club and her. What is a girl to do? Trust me, you need to read this.
Well holy hell! This just keeps getting better and better....oh and hotter. I didn't expect that but was definitely pleasantly surprised that's for sure. It also has a really good storyline that is going to keep me coming back for more. I love the characters and there is a lot of them but their voices are so distinct. Just amazeballls on how this is turning out! I'm going back for more!!
This one was even better than the first! I was once again sucked in right from the beginning!!
It's impossible not to love Saxon. He is absolutely faithful (which is a HUGE plus, especially in this genre), makes Jenny fire on ALL cylinders (so very hot) and is willing to do anything to protect her. Finding out what those numbers in his tattoo represented was super sweet. Oh, Saxon... you are such a sexy teddy bear.
Jenny is pretty great too. She's strong and brave (willing to go through with the clause after talking with Blowback) and very understanding and unselfish (knowing how hard it would be for Saxon to leave the Hellfire Riders & not wanting him to lose them).
I loved how The First Lady Clause worked out. The way the rules were followed but also modified in a way to make Saxon and Jenny as comfortable as possible but still making it sexy as Hell... Oh, boy. And having Zoomie lend more than a helping hand... Loved it.
I'm excited to see what happens with the Eighty-Eight and hear all about how they are decimated! On to Having It All!!
