“Just by giving a damn about your family, by having wives you love and who you shelter from your businesses, kids you protect and value more than future heirs, means you’ll make a change.” -Camille summing up the Feckers for us
Come celebrate the holidays with the O’Donnelly Clan. If you have not read the Feckers, Sinners or Valentinis this book may not hit the way it does when you have. Having them all in one book was amazing and has made me crave MORE! We get to reconnect with them, read the ways life is changing or will be changing for them, check in on their kiddos, and get to love on them just a little bit more as they celebrate the holidays as only the Feckers can. You will laugh, you will swoon, and you will be reminded just how filthy the Feckers are.
Some Highlights: Lena and Paddy will be traveling for the holiday as it seems their relationship is growing. Kat is raking in the dough with her swear jar. The SIL’s have decided to make one another hand made gifts via the Secret Santa. The Fecker’s are all trying to one up one another on their gifts for their wives. I, for one, think Conor has this one on lock. And, as always they are plotting world domination.
Just what I needed, Christmas with the Family! I didn’t even realize how much I missed these Feckers until I picked this up. Such a cute and sexy peek into the lives of all the O’Donnellys. If Serena wanted to release one of these little catch up books once a year for forever, I’d be the happiest of readers! 💜
The way that my heart just sang from the moment I turned to the first page… The Five Points/Feckers are effectively my happiest reading experience. And Serena Akeroyd ALWAYS delivers in her writing. This Holiday “novella” has us immediately picking up with this whole crazy, love filled, obsessive, LOUD family as if no time has passed and yet so much has changed, so many people have changed, and so much is being laid out for the future.
I said it in my reading group - my OG top couple in this whole universe is (&forever will be) Finn & Aoife. And their chapter - specifically around the bread (IYKYK) - hand me in literal tears. I just love them so much.
We get to see everyone in their true forms - fully embracing the love surrounding them. Just true joy. But don’t be fooled - they’re still the Feckers, so there’s still scheming going on, especially as we all prepare for the road to the White House.
One thing I truly love about Serena’s writing is that she doesn’t shy way from the complexities of relationships in all forms. There’s nothing that’s wrapped up in a bow, so to speak. There’s still aches & heartache among a few relationships — uncertainty if it’ll ever change, encouragements to never stop trying and glimmers of reconciliation too. In only the way she can (& did with Sr), I even found myself with a soft spot for Lena — despite her antics & actions. She’s just a flawed woman, who loves her family in the only way she knows. But isn’t too proud to grow, to try to meet them where they are now.
And boy I LOVE that we even got little peeks at other parts of this universe! 🤩 It confirms something for me - I could never leave this world and be a perfectly content, happy, fulfilled reader. Serena is just THAT good! I’ll continue my patient, and excited, waiting for Maxim & Victoria, Stan…and anything/everything else Serena Akeroyd has planned for us!
Filthy Christmas is a part of the Five Points Mob Collection. It is a contemporary, holiday romance novella. The story is told in first person with multiple POV.
This was such an amazing book. I absolutely loved this series and was thrilled that we were getting a holiday book in their world. We get some terrific scenes from all of the couples in the series, plus some.
This story had me all kinds of turned on, swooning, laughing out loud, and wishing I had a man with a stellar IQ who liked to invent things for me! It made me jealous of the women and lust for the men.
I love the snapshots that we get of the couple's kids. I loved getting to know a little about them and how they may play into the second gen books, which I'm very much looking forward to.
As always with this author, the writing, pace, flow, characters, and storytelling were all fabulous. If you've read the Five Points Mob Collection, then this book is an absolute Must Read.
Filthy Christmas is everything I adore about the Filthy series wrapped up in a festive bow. When Lena’s away, the O’Donnelly wives absolutely will play—and what unfolds is pure holiday magic with that signature O’Donnelly chaos we all live for.
This book is exactly what Serena promised: a cozy, slice-of-life holiday read packed with traditions, Christmas fluff, and Easter eggs that longtime fans will devour. Seeing all the characters and all the kids together, mixed with their usual brand of madness, felt like coming home to the wildest, warmest family imaginable.
I genuinely loved every second of it. Serena’s writing never misses, but this one hit a special spot—it was the perfect read for the season. When I reached “The End,” I refused to believe it. I kept tapping my Kindle like maybe Serena had hidden a bonus chapter somewhere, because I just did not want it to be over.
If you’re already obsessed with the Filthy world, this little holiday gem will fill your heart (and your Kindle) with joy. And now, like everyone else, I’m counting down the minutes until the next book drops. Serena, take my money—just give me more!
I was swept away by this book, especially at this time of year.🥰
The moment I found out we were getting a Christmas story with my favorite fictional family, I knew it would be something special and it really was. As a lover of the O'Donnelly clan, this story delivered everything with hilarious banter, fiery personalities and lovely heartfelt moments, especially seeing the parents with their children now!! Easily my favorite part.🥹
And the holiday spice hit HARD too, like right away! 🌶️👀🌶️
Stepping back into this world and catching up with characters I adore felt like the best kind of gift! I loved seeing the O'Donnelly women take center stage because they always feel real and warm and familiar to me. I’ve always seen pieces of myself in them throughout their own books, so it made their moments resonate in such a personal way.
This story is a reminder to slow down, enjoy your people, and hold on to the memories you’ve made during past holidays while making room for new ones. It just felt perfect and the best way to kick start my Christmas season!
Filthy Christmas was sublime. It made me so happy to return to the Fecker (Five Point Mob) world.
I laughed my way through this festive fun and frolics with the O'Donnelly's celebrating as only they can. With the guys, wives' children, and pets under one roof it was bound to be a chaotic jumble of entertainment and joy.
● I chucked at the antics of the guys vying to be the best husband at Christmas gifting. (There was only one winner IMO🏆) ● The ladies as usual were on point and the 'Secret Santa' gifting had me in stitches. I could commiserate as crafting is not my forte... ● Loved that we got more Lena and Padraig and them being persuaded to go on a martyrs' honeymoon - was sneaky and perfect!
As always, there was plenty of steamy moments - these guys are amorous and adventurous and aim to please.
Thank you, Serena, for giving me all I could have wished for in this festive novella.... and for the Easter Eggs teasing about what's to come - Maxim & Victoria and Stan 'the man' Valentini ♥️ yes please.
Filthy Christmas was a fun gift from Serena Akeroyd to her readers. I am such a sucker for these kinds of books that give us a peek at what's happening in our favorite characters' lives. Not to mention the extras she always includes in her books, like those chapter ornaments and the text message threads.
I enjoyed catching up with everyone, but especially the chapters with Eoghan and Inessa from my favorite books in the series, Filthy Rich and Filthy Richer.
"You once told me this place would be your gilded cage. But you'll never be caged. Not as long as I'm alive."
Serena Akeroyd just gifted me the best Christmas present ever—all the O'Donnellys in one book for a sweet treat. As usual, the Feckers were filthy fun, steamy, and sexy, teasing and tempting the literary tastebuds. Gathering all the brothers for the festivities leads to hijinks, hilarity, honesty, and shenanigans. Each brother woos their wife with holiday hotness, not to be outdone by their past endeavours in the bedroom (or any room for that matter). Reading Filthy Christmas had me kicking up my heels with laughter, blushing with the amorous antics, and wishing for a Fecker of my own. Gifts from the ladies' Secret Santas encouraged creativity, just as the brothers found inventive ways to celebrate the special day. If you've missed the Feckers, this delectable indulgence will satisfy what you have been craving. I believe it's time for a second helping as I reread this savoury tidbit. Merry Christmas, everyone! I was sent an Advanced Reader Copy.
Reading Filthy Christmas is like being reacquainted with old friends. Diving back into the Five Points world makes me want to read this wonderful series over again. I loved this Christmas story. It is so special reading the different POV’s. Each one gives a glimpse of their tight knit family relationship. With lots of fun, laughter and of course those steamy scenes this one is not to be missed. A must read at this Christmas time. 5 stars
This book had me in all my feels. If you are a fan of the Fecker/Sinner/Valentini/Korhonen worlds then this is the perfect story for you! It was everything I didn’t know I needed to put me right back into the family I love so much. Their love for each other, their banter, their friendships … everything was present in this beautiful short story. Each chapter made me reminisce and fall deeper in love with them all. I absolutely ADORED each and every word, every single chapter, each couple, every little nugget, ALL. OF. IT!!!!
This story was just so good,it brought memories and it was nice to catch up with the gang too! I like the tidbits too especially on Victoria and Maxim. I didn't know that Lena was such a witch, I didn't feel those vibes before.I like the swear jar ,good enterprising job too.This story came across has group of ladies having a big grab feast across the dining room table where they just talk about anything and everything and be able to express them selves with hurting someone's feelings.I felt from reading this story and remembering from how each of story's starting out and now where the girls are confident in their selves, in there marriage, their men.I do remember that one or two girls weren't treated right before they got married and it wasn't easy at first when they were just married.The men are still hot and they treat their women like Queens still and no one touches them but their husbands.When I come across potatoes I will remember how they were use to settle a fight.Its still hard to choose a favorite couple but Conner made me all warm and comfy when he was in the kitchen, making cookies with Kat and when she calls him Daddy and it made him tear or two,it met so much for him.I can't wait for more stories to come and Thank You Serena and Gang! for a wonderful story at Christmas, lots of laughs,a few tears and a ton of joy.
This is most definitely a love note for all of the Fecker lovers out there. We get a peak into what all our fave couples are doing now during the holiday season and see how their families are progressing. Sure, not everything is all warm and fuzzy, but that’s life and Serena has never shied away from the complexities of life within the O’Donnelly households. One of the many reasons why I love her stories so much. Because in the end, the couples still find their way back to each other and figure things out. They love each other and that is what you do when you love someone. Of course, there is also a lot of laughs, schemes, naughty times, and all the other bits that we also love, so don’t worry about that! This is definitely a great holiday read that I will be coming back to whenever I feel the need for a little Christmas cheer.
Get ready for a wildly entertaining Christmas ride with our favourite Irish mobsters, the O’Donnelly clan as, with the family matriarch away, her sons along with their wives and families get up to some christmas shenanigans. Among the mayhem is the wives taking part in a home-made secret Santa extravaganza while the brothers engage in a hilarious game of one-upmanship when it comes to who gives their wife the best pressie, and yes punches are thrown! Meanwhile their offspring run amok while proving the future looks bright and chaotic in their hands. Packed with humour and banter, not forgetting a whole lotta spice and heart as well as cameos from our favourite New York Stars player Liam as well as the ever-increasing Valentini family, the filthy feckers have become the festive feckers.
I loved that this story included all of the O'Donnellys. It was utter perfection. And the spice was spicing in this. Another thing that I really liked about this was the creativity and uniqueness of the storyline. It’s a lovely Christmas story with plenty of romance. It’s also the book that I didn't know I needed until I started reading. Love, loved getting to go back to these characters and this world. This was a fantastic read. It’s festive, it's fun, and messy in a good way. You don't want to miss out on this book. I highly recommend reading.
Thanks to the author for an advance copy. My opinions are my own and freely expressed.
The pure joy I experienced being back with the O’Donnelly’s is unmatched! I will forever want to be lost in their world. The way these mafia men are down bad for their women will have you absolutely feral for one of them for yourselves. Filthy Christmas was the dip back into The Five Points Mob/Feckers world that I needed this holiday season. We got all their hotness, unhingedness, and pure love for their families. And the Easter eggs that were dropped...I was picking them all up with glee.
This is the book I didn’t know I needed this Christmas. I always think it’s great to get glimpse of previous characters in the authors latest book, but to get a whole new book about my favourite family!
There are not enough words to describe how happy this book made me. Filthy Christmas depicts life after HEA and what a life it is. There were so many easter eggs. Now I really want to read the Five Points Next generation.
An absolute Christmas Cracker of a read!! We get to spend the festive season back with the O'Donnelly's. All of the family loves, drama and plenty of laughs. Kat's swear jar had me dying laughing. Also throw in a couple of cheeky easter eggs (or Christmas baubles which is more seasonal, right? Lol). It was so bloody good to get my hands on this book and to read more from my favourite mobsters. Just Loved It.
Serena, I love Filthy Christmas, it was great to see where their lives came and how they all connected to each other. I love that they all continue to be happy and their love has grown and become stronger. I cannot wait for the next books. ⭐⭐⭐⭐🧡⭐⭐⭐⭐, I also love all the filthy talking they do.
This one is awesome. We get to catch up with all the O’Donnelly’s together for and what a Christmas it is.There’s epic displays of affection in a store,the wives deciding that secret Santa should consist of handmade gifts, Conor and Star being their usual quirky selves and the men all trying to outdo each other in the giving of gifts to the wives. This is the catch up with the entire O’Donnelly family that we all needed, do yourself a favour and read everything this author has written,you won’t be disappointed ❤️🖤 i was sent an advanced reader copy
Stepping back into the O’Donnelly world was like putting on your favorite pajamas and sitting ion the couch in front of a roaring fire during the holiday season. This time we get to spend the Holiday’s with the brothers and their crazy, funny, lovable wives. Glimpses into each couple and their families was a story we all have been waiting for!!
What a festive treat!! Husbands battling to give the best gift, wives just being their usual stunning selves. Oh and of course the authors usual little perfect sneaky hints at what may be coming!! But most importantly all the steamy scenes we’ve come to expect and love from these characters!! I was sent an advanced reader copy.
How did I miss the O'Donnelleys Family! Reading about them once again, just before Christmas, is such a beautiful gift Serena did for us! You are transported in their HEA between bickering, Secret Santa shenanigans, sweet and tender moments between the couples or with their families. Oh and there is SPICE! Don't you worry I can't choose my favorite moment! It's just so warm that you fall again in love with them all. I also spotted a few moments that I am sure will be explained in the books she has brewing for us!
And what a filthy christmas it was. My goodness that was spicy. Savannah and Aidan are at it again, but otherwise this was a really sweet and spicy holiday novella. The Star and Conor stuff hit me right in the feels, especially Conor and Kat's conversation over cookies. I really hope we get Shay and Kat's story some day. It's gonna be a wonderful ride.
I can never get enough of the O'Donnelly's so it made my day when I found out we were getting this novella! Being able to catch up with the clan while also having it in a holiday setting was fantastic! Expect fun, chaos (of course), steam, and lots of heart. It truly was great seeing everyone again, while getting a glimpse of how they are doing now. This story just made me so happy!
I just loved catching up with the whole family together!! It was so good to see that everyone still remained close even after everything.... The chemistry between couples is just plain HOT!!
Omg I laughed so much reading this book you never fail to deliver, my absolute favourite series is the feckers , I feel like I'm part of them when reading. Brilliant read !
This is another look at the Feckers that I desperately wanted and definitely needed. It was so nice to revisit the O’Donnellys and their families. This book offered us an intimate look at the O’Donnelly sons and their wives and children who make them who they are. There was enough spice, a lot of laughter and a great storyline that has now allowed me a bit more patience while I wait for the next book. Serena Akeroyd has made me fall in love with every one of these characters and I continue to do so with every story I read. I suggest reading all of these books because they are just that good. I’m not usually one for Christmas stories but this one has made me a convert!
