Rhys As the Vice President of Hell’s Heathens Motorcycle Club, I don’t just break the rules, I rewrite them. I’m sworn by loyalty and love and live up to my road name, willing to do whatever it takes to protect my family, my club, and our territory. But all I really want is someone to see the real me.
When Bristol stumbles into my life, I know she’s the one. My queen. Our connection is transcendent, life-changing. She may be engaged to another man, but her future was always meant to include me.

Some bonds don’t just break the rules; they rewrite fate. Good thing I’m willing to break any laws, divine or otherwise, to take care of what needs to be done.
Bristol To an outsider, I have a perfect life. My dream career as a veterinarian at a small shelter, a beautiful home, a lifelong best friend, and a fiancé who’s proud to have me on his arm.
When Rhys Hudson walks into my life, I’m instantly drawn to the gentle giant. When I’m with him, my soul is complete, at ease. But I’m engaged to another man. I’ve always been aware of our issues, but my time with Rhys has opened my eyes to new possibilities, that maybe I don’t need to play it safe and settle.
When I finally get the nerve to leave, everything changes, and my world is turned upside down. The life I knew is replaced with secrets, threats, violence, and a man who’s been hiding behind a mask the entire time I’ve known him.

BETA/ARC REVIEW: Welcome Back to book 2 of the Queens & Heathens series. All’s Fair in Love & Sin is about the love story of Rhys, the MC man who is the greenest of green flags + Bristol, the veterinarian with a huge heart who’s engaged to Mr Wrong. These two have the cutest meet-cute in a coffee shop and feel an instant connection. A friendship blossoms and they come to lean on each other for everything. Their lives overlap more than they realize and they have to fight to have the future they both want + deserve. Oh, and Mr Bun-Buns is there along with another animal sidekick, both of whom are welcome additions to the story!
Tropes: MC romance Small Town MC Vice President x veterinarian Damsel in distress Man obsesses Slow burn She's engaged to Mr Wrong
Rhys Michael Hudson, aka Sin, just walked in, picked me up with one massive gentle-giant hand, and said “you’re mine now.” And honestly? I went willingly.
I did not fully see this side of him in the previous book, but the second it was clear this was Sin’s story, I was counting down the seconds. He did not disappoint. Not even a little.
I’m usually not a fan of insta love or insta lust. It’s a hard sell for me. But this? This was done right.
From their very first meeting, I could feel Sin’s shift. The way he clocked Bristol. The way his focus narrowed. The way he just knew. It didn’t feel rushed, it felt inevitable.
Sin being this big, dangerous Heathen with the softest, most protective heart for his woman? I ate it up. Every possessive moment. Every protective instinct. Every quiet, intense look. Bristol holds her own too, which makes their dynamic even better.
There’s heat, tension, loyalty, and that chaotic Heathen energy we’ve come to love.
This series just keeps leveling up. Every book somehow raises the bar and makes me more feral for the next one.
Right now? Rhys is my man. No debate.
But I am dying to see Malice fall in love because that man… whew. That’s going to be a ride.
If you love obsessive energy, protective heroes, found family vibes, and morally gray chaos wrapped in loyalty, this one is for you
Jumping back into the Heathens MC world was such a treat.
This one focuses more on the characters and their emotions, which gave the romance time to grow, though the bigger plot took a while to really pick up. Even so, it was still an enjoyable read and easy to get pulled back into this world.
Rhys, also known as Sin, completely carried the story for me. As the vice president of the Heathens MC he has that intimidating biker reputation, but underneath it he’s incredibly soft and devoted. From the moment he meets Bristol he’s all in, yet he never pressures her and lets things unfold naturally. That mix of patient, protective, and quietly obsessed made him such a great hero. Bristol was harder for me to connect with. I understood her situation, but her constant avoidance of conflict made it frustrating at times.
That said, there were still plenty of moments I enjoyed. The slow burn between them has some sweet scenes, and seeing Bristol finally experience real care and support was satisfying. I also loved being back with the Heathens and their found family dynamic.
I’m especially looking forward to Malice’s story next.

Huge thank you to Jenn Plummer & The Smuthood for the ARC! 😍 All my bookish thoughts are completely my own. ✨
ARC Review This was such a swoony read!! This is the second book in Jenn Plummer’s Queens & Heathens world, and oh my heart, it’s one of those stories that sneaks up on you and refuses to leave your brain. The romance sparks between Rhys, a gentle giant and the fiercely loyal VP of the Hell’s Heathens Motorcycle Club, and Bristol, a shy veterinarian with a heart of gold. The moment they both meet sparks fly, and Rhys is strong, protective, and utterly captivated by her from the first instance even if she is engaged to another man....WHAT!! Full disclosure the man she is engaged to is Mr So Damn Wrong, he is awful. Cue the unbelievable chemistry, high tension and slow burn that unravels so deliciously. When Bristol’s world collides with the Hell’s Heathens, Rhy’s stops at nothing to make sure she is safe and protected by his club in every single way. This story has so much heart, warmth, and sweet tension that keeps you turning pages long past your bedtime. I loved catching up with some of my fave characters, especially Aspen Ridge and of course some cutie time with Mr Bun Buns - so freakin adorable! Huge thank you to Jenn for this ARC, I'm so excited for the rest of this series.
It was great being back in Amberwood with the Hell's Heathens. This book follows Rhys (Sin) who is the Heathen's VP and Bristol who is a sweet veterinarian from a nearby town. They meet in a coffee shop and the connection is immediate. Unfortunately at the time Bristol is engaged to Mr. Wrong. Rhys however is willing to do whatever it takes to have her in his life. Their relationship begins as friendship but slowly develops into so much more. I absolutely loved them together. Rhys had me swooning this whole book with the way the cares and protects Bristol. He will do anything for his queen. I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the next one!
Thank you Jenn for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.
I think I’ve found my latest reading obsession: MC romance 😍 There’s just something irresistible about dangerous, morally grey men who are obsessive and fiercely protective of their women.
I absolutely devoured the first and second books in this series in just two days.
Rhys - aka Sin - is the Hell’s Heathens Motorcycle Club Vice President. He’s tall, muscular, covered in tattoos, and looks every bit as dangerous as his reputation suggests. But beneath that tough exterior, he’s the biggest softie with a pet bunny named Mr Bun Buns 🐰. After watching his club brothers find their queens, Rhys is longing to find his own.
Bristol is a veterinarian engaged to the wrong man. Over time, her fiancé has become verbally abusive, emotionally distant, and consumed by his work. They barely spend time together unless it benefits him. When Bristol meets Rhys at the animal shelter where she works (he’s a volunteer), she starts seeing her relationship for what it truly is. She’s always wanted to feel wanted, and the way Rhys looks at her is exactly what she’s been missing.
From the moment Rhys lays eyes on Bristol, he knows she’s his queen. He’s determined to have her - until he learns she’s engaged, sending his world into a spin. Still, he wants her in his life in any way he can, even if that means being just friends. But as they grow closer, Rhys realizes something isn’t right with her relationship… and he’s not about to ignore it.
Tropes: • MC romance • MC Vice President x Veterinarian • He’s obsessed with her • Instant love • Slow burn • Tough on the outside, soft on the inside
This book had me hooked from the very first page, and I could barely put it down (unfortunately, sleep is important 😅). I loved how tender Rhys was with Bristol, always making sure she was comfortable, letting her take the lead, and simply being there for her in whatever way she needed. And when he kept calling her “my love”? Ugh. Done for.
I think Rhys is officially my new favourite book boyfriend, and I cannot wait to continue this series.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much Jenn and The Smuthood for the ARC 🖤
I received this ARC and am so grateful for the opportunity to read and review it.
All’s Fair in Love & Sin by Jenn Plummer is the second book in the Queens & Heathens series, and it absolutely delivered another solid MC romance.
Rhys, the vice president of the Heathens MC, did not miss. From the moment he sees Bristol, this man is completely down bad, and honestly, we love that for him. He’s the perfect contrast of rough and soft. Six-foot-four, tattooed, muscular, and the VP of a motorcycle club… yet he holds his little pet bunny like it’s the most precious thing in the world. That is, until Bristol walks into his life.
Bristol is currently engaged to the absolute wrong man, and let’s just say no one is rooting for that relationship to last. Watching Rhys patiently wait for his chance while clearly being head over heels for her created a really satisfying slow burn.
What I loved most about this story was seeing Bristol finally experience what it’s like to be supported and cared for in a relationship. Rhys might have the rough MC exterior, but underneath it he’s genuinely a good man with a huge heart.
I also loved getting more time with the Heathens MC crew. The found family dynamic in this series is one of my favorite parts, and every appearance from the other members just makes me more excited for the books still to come. I’m especially ready for Malice’s story and can’t wait to see what happens when Wrath gets his turn.
Overall, this was a great follow-up in the series. If you enjoy motorcycle club romances with a protective, completely obsessed hero and a heroine finding her strength, this one is definitely worth picking up.
Solid 4 stars, and I’m looking forward to the next Heathens MC book.
Thanks to The Nerd Fam for providing the eARC. This is my honest opinion.
A Love That Tastes Like Trouble
‘All’s Fair in Love & Sin’ doesn’t ask politely for your attention. It lures you in with heat and tension, then keeps tightening the emotional grip until turning the page feels less like a choice and more like surrender.
What makes this one work is the constant push and pull. The chemistry is bold, yes, but it is the way it’s threaded through doubt, longing, and consequences that really lands. Each scene feels like it carries a quiet dare: step closer, even if it burns. The structure helps that momentum, with chapters that end at exactly the wrong moment in the best way, leaving the story pulsing in your hands.
Jenn Plummer’s writing is vivid and confident, with a sharp eye for atmosphere. The characters are flawed in a way that feels painfully human, and the emotional undercurrent adds weight to the spice instead of letting it float on the surface. A few romance beats may feel familiar, but the intensity and the steady psychological tension give this story its bite.
When the final pages hit, it leaves the kind of aftertaste that lingers: not just heat, but the ache underneath it, too.
Forbidden Attraction | Forced Proximity | Secrets | High Tension Chemistry | Emotional Scars | Moral Grey Love Interest | Redemption Arc
We’re back with book two, this time with Sin’s story.
Sin is the definition of a gentle giant. Just the fact that he has a pet bunny told me that he was all mush inside. I’m so happy he got a woman to treat with love and adoration. And she’s a veterinarian! Perfect match!
Bristol was engaged to a piece of 💩 who viewed her as property and she didn’t notice how bad things got until she met Sin. The moment she decided to leave, all hell broke loose. *check your triggers* our girl went through some stuff that could definitely be hard to read but Sin was there to help her through it all 🥹🥰
I loved seeing Sin as a side character in book 1 so I was excited to see that he got his own book next.
The group chat and the constant jokes from the other guys about eating Mr. Bun-Buns cracked me up every time 🤣
This series, so far, has been basically Insta-love, and I’m eating it up. I love a man who’s obsessed from day dot!
I can’t wait for Malice’s book next 👀 Im gonna guess Seb is the love interest or maybe a why choose? Lol Im grasping at STRAWS
I honestly think this might be the best one yet. Like… 5 stars or more if I could. I absolutely loved this one! Rhys and Bristol had me fully in my feelings all through the book. Both Rhys and Bristol were amazing, the plot was just sooooo good, and it felt like so much happened without it ever feeling too much. Just emotion, connection, and honestly they had that bond that makes you stare at the page like… excuse me?? 🥹💛 It makes you want it, it makes you want to see it. Just wow.
Recap: Bristol is a vet running an animal shelter, stuck in a marriage that’s just… not it. You know when your reading something and your screaming at the pages - JUST GET OUT OF THERE. This is how I felt in most of the start of this book. I just felt for Bristol. She’s living the wrong life with the wrong man, and you can feel how lost she is, trying to figure out where she even fits in the world she’s built around herself.
And then there’s Rhys. VP of the MC, Chaos’s right hand man, and honestly the biggest surprise softie. He’s got this huge heart and so much love to give, but no one to give it to… until Bristol. Also the fact he loves animals (and his love for Mr Bun Buns) absolutely ended me 🐰😭 He grabbed my heart from the start of the book. Honestly I think he is my favourite MC so far.
What made me love it so much you ask... well:
Rhys and Bristol’s connection was just wow 🥹 These two just shine. Their connection felt so real and so deep, and it wasn’t only about attraction, it was friendship too. The kind that makes the romance hit even harder 😭✨
This story was just such an emotional ride 😮💨 So many emotions. So much happening. The story kept moving, but it still had all the heart. I didn’t want to put it down, not even for a second.
Rhys being a whole soft spot in a biker world 🖤🐾 VP of an MC club but with a heart that big? Yes please. The animal shelter side of this story added something really special, and it made their bond feel even more meaningful.
I am going to say it but I think this topped my previous favourite. Kinsey and Reid 👀 And I don’t say that lightly. I really think Rhys and Bristol might even top them. Their love felt pure, and their friendship was deep.
Summary
If you want a story that grabs you with emotion, keeps you hooked with plot, and gives you a couple that genuinely connects… this is it. Rhys and Bristol were everything to me, and I’m still not over how good they were together 🥹📚💛
All Is Fair in Love and Sin (Queens & Heathens #2) was exactly the kind of over-the-top, spicy motorcycle club romance I was in the mood for. If you love morally gray bikers, insta-lust, and a little damsel-in-distress chaos, this one absolutely delivers.
Our FMC, Bristol, is a veterinarian who spends her days saving animals and dealing with the occasional disaster at the clinic. Meanwhile, she’s stuck engaged to a Wall Street type who cares a lot more about his job and appearances than actually showing up for her. Let’s just say… the bar was in hell.
Enter our MMC, the VP of a motorcycle club who might look intimidating on the outside but has a huge soft spot for animals. The second these two meet, the chemistry is immediate and the tension doesn’t let up. It’s definitely an insta-lust situation, but it works for the kind of story this is.
Between the club drama, slimy criminal dealings, and Bristol finding herself in more than one dangerous situation, the pacing never really slows down. And when the spice hits… it hits. This book is not shy about it — the spice level is off the charts and very much fits the possessive, alpha biker vibe.
If you’re looking for a gritty MC romance with a protective biker, a heroine who’s a total sweetheart, plenty of danger, and very spicy scenes, this one is a must read. I had so much fun with it and flew through the pages.
Alls Fair in Love and Sin by Jenn Plummer eARC Review 🖤
I straight up devoured this one and left no crumbs. From start to finish I was so invested in this story and I loved every single second of it.
Bristol is engaged to Mr Wrong, she forgets her worth for a while but when she realizes she needs to get out I couldn’t have been more proud of her. I adore her, she is such a sweet soul, and kind person. The second that Rhys lays eyes on her in the coffee shop, he knows he needs to win her over and make her his queen. This man is down BAD. Rhys, the VP of Hells Heathens, this huge muscular, deadly man is truly the sweetest MMC ever. My gosh, the way this man stole my heart.
Their story is my favorite 😭. Their instant chemistry, the friendship they form that then turns to more. Bristol is truly the missing piece in Sin’s life and I just had the best time with this book. The plot is great, it had some twists and turns that kept me wanting more. Jenn’s writing is always a good time but this book just had me in a chokehold and I loved it so much.
I can’t wait for Malice’s story next!
What to expect: Small Town Motorcycle Club Romance MC Vice President x Veterinarian Damsel in Distress Man Obsessed Slow Burn She’s Engaged to Mr. Wrong
Thank you so much Jenn and The Smuthood for the arc!
Book 2 in the Queens & Heathens series follows the unlikely friendship between the big tattooed VP of the Hell’s Heathens motorcycle club and an animal shelter veterinarian, who share a love for animals. Their first encounter was like two souls finding one another, but she’s engaged to another man.
I related so hard with Bristol…People pleasing, loves a hot shower, prefers animals over most humans, avoids conflict just to keep the peace… And Rhys (aka “Sin”) is such a gentle giant teddy bear and I still smile picturing him holding Mr. Bun Buns.
Her fiancé is the biggest piece of shit and it was easy to hate this character so much. Especially as his true colors start to show.
Loved getting more interactions with Malice and Wrath too, and can’t wait for their books. And the cameos from familiar characters we know from other series and books made me so happy. ALSO every girl needs a BFF like Kira on their lives (and maybe a spinoff book 👀) The “non-Group chat” with the bike besties was amusing as usual.
The ending felt a little anticlimactic and rushed, but I still enjoyed the book as a whole. I’m fully invested in the Hell’s Heathens characters and I’m looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Jenn Plummer and The Smuthood for the opportunity to read this ARC!
We are returning for book two of the Queens and Heathens series. We are getting Rhys story and his leading lady is perfect for him! Rhys is a gentle giant, lover of animals and his alter ego is the VP of Hell’s Heathens MC.
Bristol is our Vet, engaged to Mr. Wrong, and she has the biggest heart. Lover of good coffee and pastries. The moments she meets Rhys they just click. But it is not the right time, she needs to get out of her current relationship, that she is quickly realizing in not a good fit.
I love their story, a little slow burn, but how Rhys/Sin protects her and will wait for her is swoony! There is a little suspense but I figured that out quickly enough, and I was enjoying the book. The group threads are entertaining, and Rhys love of Mr. Bun-Bun is adorable. I am looking forward to what we get next.
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.
Ok who doesn’t love a man who rides a motorcycle AND love animals? This is definitely a friends to lovers story I devoured. I absolutely loved how Rhys and Bristol’s relationship wasn’t rushed it was completely perfect but Can we just appreciate the fact that Rhy made it his mission to get the queen that he wanted? When Rhy met Bristol for the first time he knew she would be his queen one day. I love how we can fully see this side of Rhy. The tough motorcycle man on the outside and the soft man who loves his bunny Mr bun buns and Bristol on the inside
The chemistry between Rhy and Bristol is 😮💨😮💨 including the spicy scenes.. had to put it down because it was getting hot in here The ending made me tear up a little.. I’m so glad Rhy’s got his queen
Overall this book was AMAZING. The little hints of suspense kept me on the edge of my seat
You wouldn’t think a motorcycle club romance could be so sweet. But let me just tell you that Rhys “Sin” Hudson may just give you cavities! Sure he’s the villain some days but never when it comes to her. He’s struggling with reconciling the two sides of himself and finds that she’s exactly what he’s needed all along.
Now Bristol, she had some complications with her and it took her a bit longer to work out her feelings. That being said, once she was in it was on. She needed love and tenderness and he wanted nothing more than to be the one to give it to her.
This relationship evolved from wanting each at first sight to friends and finally soulmates. The potential for drama and the twists kept me on edge but in a good way. Such a great second book in the series.
Insta love and lust from Rhys is a seller for me! Sin (Rhys) is a big ole softy biker who looks super tough and intimidating. Which he totally is but when he meets Bristol for the first time, he slowly begins shedding his layers but just for her.
Bristol just wants to care for her animals and try to make her fiancé notice her but she rarely sees him. Blake is an asshole and doesn’t deserve the sweet caring Bristol.
The way they Bristol and Rhys meet and become friends first and slowly listen to that connection, that pull, it was OVER FOR ME!
I really enjoyed this read but I know the next book will have me on the FLOOR
Rhys is the textbook definition of a Rottweiler in human form... he is big and scary looking but inside is the biggest cuddle bug who just wants someone to love on him and boooyyyy am I glad he got someone who does just that.
This is a textbook HEA, they have to jump through some traumatic hoops to reach it but it was sure worth the jumps!!
Another absolute banger from Jenn and I cannot wait to see what happens next. My money is on K & Wrath or S & Malice as our next couple 👏👏
ARC Review: I’m so happy to be back in Amberwood with the Hell’s Heathens. I thought I loved Camden but Rhys has certainly stolen my heart. I was so enthralled in Rhys and Bristol’s story I stayed up until 2am devouring this story.
Rhys is an animal lover and proud bunny dad who is looking for his queen. When he sets eyes on small town veterinarian, Bristol in a local coffee shop, it’s game over for him.
I love how the author gives us insight and allows us to get to know the other MC members in the club. Can’t wait for Malice’s story next.
This book is an interconnected standalone but I highly recommend reading book one in the series. There are also trigger warnings included in the beginning of the book that you should consider before you read. Thanks to the author and Samantha at The Smuthood for the ARC!
Tropes: MC Romance Small Town MC Vice President x Veterinarian She’s Engaged to Mr. Wrong Damsel in Distress Slow Burn Man Who Yearns
I absolutely loved Bristol & Rhys’ story - the suspense had me clinging to every page.
Rhys is the greenest of green flags. The way he loves her from the start is obsessive, possessive, and so damn good. We love a bad boy who’s only soft for her.
These two? Unbearably hot. 🥵 When I say this book ATE, there is zero exaggeration.
🤍motorcycle club VP 🤍veterinarian FMC 🤍she’s engaged to Mr. Wrong 🤍man obsessed 🤍slow burn
💋Dramatic Thoughts💋
5 stars for the LOVELY Jenn Plummer!!
Okayyyyy…this man was the sweetest biker ever😍 I knew I’d be excited for this book from the moment I met Sin and Jenn Plummer did not disappoint!
The absolute compassion and care this man showed for Bristol from the very beginning was EVERYTHING. Rhys only saw Bristol and her needs from the moment he met her. I couldn’t have swooned more if I tried!!
Honorable mention: MR. BUN BUNS
This series is chalking up to be one of my favorites and I’m DYING for more Queen and Heathens!! Thank you Jenn + Smuthood for this ARC copy!!
If you’ve ever watched Sons of Anarchy, do yourself a favor and go watch it. You’re gonna be hooked on hot tattooed biker men who are possessive and obsessive in no time. And thennnnn you *might* be ready to meet the boys in this series.😏
Wowzers. Who would have thought that Sin/Rhys- a fricken badass MC member- is a golden retriever when it comes to a woman he’s into?! Pair that with him & Mr. Bun buns, (his pet bunny) and I’m not sure how anyone could resist him.🫢
Bristol is a shell of a woman until Rhys walks into her veterinarian practice. He makes her feel seen, and cared for and wanted from the first look he gave her. Bristol needed that push to realize the relationship she was in is nowhere near what she deserves. Rhys and Bristol’s chemistry is explosive and I loved how open and honest they could be with each other.
If you’re in the mood for a little action, suspense, and a delicious MC member who will do anything and everything for a woman he’s just met, go read this book now! Highly recommend !!
What to expect:
Motorcycle club romance Small town MC Vice President x Veterinarian Damsel in distress Man obsessed Slow burn She's engaged to Mr. Wrong
Thanks to Jenn & her team for this arc in exchange for my honest review.
A big bad motorcycle club VP with a cute little pet bunny named Mr. Buns Buns and head over heels in love with a Veterinarian and isn't afraid to show it? YEAAAAH sign me up. Rhys & Bristol were perfect for each other. She needed someone to show their love by actions and he had NO trouble doing that.... even though she was engaged to another man!
The meet cute was adorable. The instant connection and blossoming friendship was so much fun to read and once they got together, they were explosive.
They move VERY fast so if that's not your thing then I'm warning you now lol.
I am loving this new MC series and am FERAL for what is next.
