Rebel Without a Claus

by Addison Jane, K. Wish

Grizz
Over a decade in prison didn’t break me.
It built me.
I am a weapon.
Something to be feared.
A recluse who only ventures out when my club needs help.
My brothers are all I have, and I will never let anything touch them.
But when she shows up, broken and on the run, I find myself risking it all.
For her.

Brynn
I’ve never had a place where I belong.
No real family. No safety net.
Survival is all I know.
So when everything falls apart one night and danger closes in, I grab my daughter and run.
Anywhere feels safer than the life we’re escaping.
I just never expected anywhere to be a snow-covered mountain town.
Or to find safety in a man like him.

Spending the festive season hidden in the mountains feels like just what we need.
But Hallowed Springs comes to life when the sun goes down.
With dancing demons and whispered legends lurking in the streets.
And as the Christmas bells ring, I find myself caught in a web of destruction.
One I never saw coming.

I thought I knew evil.
But now I’m struggling to see the truth.
I just hope he reaches me before the darkness does.

"You're talking bad about my favourite person and the body she used to grow my second favourite person."

This book combines the best of two amazing kiwi authors minds. We get what we love from the motorcycle club worlds Addison is magic at sharing married with that strong female escaping a shitty situation that K.Wish is so incredible at portraying.

You can't help but fall in love with Grizz, our grumpy protective biker who will do ANYTHING for his family, and wish you were Brynn and had her strength and resilience to be the most incredible role model for the hilarious Jovie.

3.5 ⭐

I am not usually one for an MC romance but I am really glad I read this one because it was everything I needed.

This is a very fast paced, small town, cosy, Christmas MC romance. This was such an easy fun read which is perfect for the festive season when you're feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed.

Single mum trying to make a new life for herself and she finds the family she always needed 🥹 what is not to love?

Wasn't much too it. How does you and your best friend not talk while you are supposedly driving across country? You never find out why he was in prison for 20 years? Sorry, any single mother with a child would be concerned. You never hear anything from the mother after she took her car. What happened to the friend? Maybe I missed it because it became boring. What was his age?

Grizz is a lot of grumpy, only to be left alone, fresh out of prison. Here come Brynn running from the way she was living with her mother. She needs more for her daughter..
