About the author
Kathryn C. Kelly
73 books1,053 followersI am slowly but surely learning to manage my time more effectively and getting back to writing and connecting with everyone. I'm not completely there yet, but it is slowly coming together. Misled and Misappropriate have been updated with additional chapters and POVs from a couple more characters. Both books have about 30,000 more words and new covers. I have new covers for all the books in the series. Recently Misled placed first in the Mystery, Suspense, and Thriller category on Chick Lit Cafe. The paperback will also be included in an upcoming Reveal Book Box. While working on Reckless, I am also updating the text in the original series. About Reckless - It will be filled with death and destruction, as usual. However, I will admit to being slightly shocked myself at some of the turn of events taking place. I have restarted my newsletter with a new name, KatChats. Until the end of the year, I plan to send it out weekly because of all the news I have to share. After that, I will switch to monthly. I also have a new website. It should be online in a couple of days once the domain transfer completes. I also have a website dedicated to the Death Dwellers. It is still in its early stages, but it is live: https://deathdwellersmc.com.
Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please send them my way.
Kathryn C. Kelly is a New Orleans native who has called southeast Texas home since 2005. She had intended to travel the world but always return to her beloved New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina had other plans. She is the mother of three beautiful daughters and the daughter of one gorgeous mother whose footsteps she followed in by becoming a writer.
Kathryn is the former owner and editor of Inside Rose Rich Magazine. She and her mother have been published by Jove Books as Christine Holden. The books have long been out of print but they got the rights back to the five novels and have plans to re-release them soon.
Kathryn is a cancer survivor. In 2010, she felt a small lump in her breast. In 2015, at the urging of her mother, she went in for her bi-yearly mammogram and was diagnosed with Stage 2b/3a HER2 positive breast cancer. On November 30, 2016, she rang the bell. During her treatment, she was also diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni Syndrome.
In 2013, Christopher "Outlaw" Caldwell introduced himself to Kat in the most cliché way ever. He came to her in a dream. After the inauspicious meeting, he planted himself in her mind and the motherf...the gentleman hasn't left yet. In what was only supposed to be one book about the fictitious Death Dwellers MC, Outlaw has become a source of amusement, a well of frustration, and a bone of contention between Kat and one of her daughters.
She is hard at work on Reckless, the book that will bridge the OGs with a new generation of Death Dwellers. Her work has been included in several anthologies and she is looking forward to other upcoming single title releases, including Savage Suit from the Cocky Hero Club World created by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. She is a former RWA member. She also served as Vice President for the SOLA chapter of RWA.
She is a New Orleans Saints fan, but roots for the Texans, the Rockets, and the Coogs (U of H) as long as they aren't playing any Louisiana teams. She loves champagne and sparkling wine. One day, she will try Snoop's brand. She still loves Chivas Regal but had a chance to taste Sassenach Scotch. A #lifegoal is to one day buy herself an entire bottle and keep it all for herself.
In her head, she is a biker babe with a Harley in her garage, waiting for her to hit the road. In reality, she has yet to hop on a bike and ride. She loves Cards Against Humanity, has very strong opinions that she keeps to herself, has to take her time to talk in public so nothing untoward pops out, and always strives to see the best in people and in life.

*** 4.5 Stars for my Gorgeous,Sexy Bikers ***
I can probably count on more than one hand the endless series I have read and there's nothing more annoying than having to wait for books to be released.This is one of only a very few series that I have followed religiously and have always greatly anticipated....I read the first book in 2013 and even though some books didn't quite hit the mark,it's one of my all time favourite MC series.
These books won't be for everyone.....they're definitely on the grittier side of the Biker world but the Author has created an amazing MC series here.
Even though a lot of the characters feature here this one concentrates on the relationships between Christopher 'Outlaw' Caldwell and Megan and Johnnie and Kendall.
Christopher and Megan
They both find themselves in a good place.Christopher just want to keep Megan happy.Celebrations for Halloween,Thanksgiving and Christmas are set in place.....what could go wrong?
Johnnie and Kendall
I don't even know where to start.I know people who follow this series hate Kendall and in previous reviews I have defended her and while I still think her character plays an integral part in this story, I ABSOLUTELY hated her in this book and Johnnie needs to...either get her under control or leave her.
So,this is a Christmas book but it's not just one that has been put out there for the Christmas Market.It continues the story of this MC and it's one of my favourite books in the series.
One of the best things about reading books,in my opinion,is when you're totally immersed in the characters and they really seem real.
My only negative is that it stopped at 70% and the rest was book samples (my pet hate!!)
Highly recommended MC series but it's quite dark and dirty but I absolutely love this series.....

OMG! I can't express how happy I was when this appeared. I love these series. And I adore Outlaw. So, when Kathryn gives us more of both it's Christmas time!
So, this story practically continue where Misconduct ended. I wouldn't go into details. Because if you read it, you know of what I'm talking about. And if you didn't, well then you have no business reading this story until you will have a date with previous books. Because though, they are most about different couples, but they are all related through background story. And they should be readed in order.
Back to the story. The first chapter and we have Christopher. My man. Yay! I so missed him. He’s the awesomeness man as ever. I couldn’t say praises enough. I just adore that man. His mind, his green eyes, his sexy body and the rest of him.
My smart smart biker. I really can't remember when I was more proud of character in the book. He's catching on smallest details. He sees what normally you would overlook. And that I want so to rub in someone's faces here. Which are most of the time looking down on Outlaw, just because they see him uneducated caveman. And rub that shit in his face.
Outlaw always was and will be more. He is the best choice for the club, family, and as husband. To quote Megan "...proud to call Christopher hers." Yes, she is.
And then we go more into the story and we have...sighs... Kendall. It's really depressing to read about her. Well, it's not exactly depressing but... She's still as ever manipulative. Insecure. Selfish. Annoying. Attention whore... She still has Johnnie as her slave. The poor man has to give up on what he loves and just do what she enjoys. See. Selfish. And she's all about how some ladies can't accept a little honesty. When in true, she is the one who always goes into tears if someone brings hard facts to her face. Okay. That has more to do that she’s off the medication. But still...
And talking about Johnnie... Yes, he's poor little thing with a wife like that. But... And here is a big but. With the bitc...perdon me (not really)...Kendall off the medicine, her rubbish rubs on Johnnie. And he turned into... quoting Megan "...self-righteous, judgmental, mean-spirited snob...". So, I can't completely feel sorry for him. Yes, he gets frustrated. But not we all? And then he blast his shit on Christopher, on Megan, on everyone on his path. You can take that for a time or two. But after a while it's starts to get old.
But enough of stupid, petty, spiteful, annoying, snobbish, blah blah blah bitch and her man. Better I get back to my man Outlaw and his club.
In the club there is a Christmas spirit. Enemy's finally is out from theirs life. They can be all happy and peaceful. Enjoy the club, theirs family. And it is interesting to watch. Actually it is really fascinating how Christopher and the club take it all. With decorations, lights and poems. Or more correctly Outlaws poem. Which killed me. I laughed to tears. I loved it whole. I will give you a little taste of it.
"...Pass over me Santa,I don't give a fuck.
But if you forget my family, I'ma fuck you up,
So fly on Assfuck, with that red-nosed dickhead.
Have fun through the holidays and good fucking luck..."
ROFL. Outlaw like always is really protective of his family. And that is one of the things I love about him.
But despite holiday feeling, over the club there is looming a dark shadow. Christopher and his instincts where talking again. They never steered him wrong. And now Outlaw should listen to them. Because I got a feeling that this shit stinks. A lot.
Which here I have to say Kendall added her dirty stupid fingers. It's not completely her fault. But like alwasy she didn't miss an opportunity to put her fingers in the shit. Jesus. The woman don't know when to just go and lie down and stop fucking up. And this time, Kendall fucked up big time. And I knew at that moment, that all annoyance and dislike I felt for her before, wouldn't ever compare to what I would feel if something bad happens to my one of all time favorite biker. Because tough I hated Kendall, I never wished her to be gone from the club life, Johnnies life. Even though he deserved much better. I never wanted her death through all her bullshit. Well, okay, I'm lying. I dreamed about it a time or two. Or three. But it was for a moment. Because somewhere, somehow, I have no clue how and whatever, I sometimes felt sorry for Kendall. I really didn't understand her but felt sorry. But now, if what I said above would happens related to Outlaw, I wouldn't be sorry if she dissappeared permanently. Actually, I would do that myself with a big smile on my face.
And I'm again on Kendall train, though I said is enough to talk about her. But I guess she is part of the story. So, I can't avoid her. Unfortunately.
So, a lot of danger and angst. I was kept on my toes most of the time. What will happen next? I asked this question most of the time. And then....
Outlaw... Missed calls... Gone... Kidnapped? Hurting? Dead?
Megan... Worrying... Waiting... Apprehensive... Got horrible, crushing news about her man. Pain... Injury.... Torment... Life ended. No worth living for anymore?
Kendall... Kidnapped.... Hurting? I don't give a fuck at the time. Cruel? Maybe. But I finally reached the limit of my patience with her.
All this crashes on the Death Dwellers. Will the club survive another attack? Would the club would lose some family members? Can Outlaw give Christopher Christmas to his girl without any dramas? Or around Christmas time there wouldn't be any partying spirit left to celebrate? Will it ever be the same again?
Be prepared to got some answers. Would they appease you or not it's for you to decide.

Title: A Very Christopher Christmas
Series: Death Dwellers MC #5.5
Author: Kathryn Kelly
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Pages: 349
Heat Level; 3 out of 4 flames
Overall Star Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Reviewed by Kay the Snitch Bitch
This story is classified as a novella but is novel length. It has a little of everything in it, but mostly, it's about Outlaw, Meggie, Johnnie and Kendall.
All Outlaw wants is for Meggie to give birth to their latest and hopefully last baby. He'll suffer through anything as long as Meggie is okay.
Meggie knows she isn't feeling great. Pregnancy has never been simple for her. She has all of her holiday plans and hopes they go off with no unforseen problems.
Johnnie has his hands full trying to play mediator between Outlaw and Kendall. Meggie still isn't speaking to him. He knows that he isn't the same person he used to be but he isn't sure how to be who he needs to be.
Kendall is Kendall. She's still off her meds and no offense, but she's a crazy bitch. I hear Buck Cherry singing whenever she walks into the room.
There's a snippet about Cash, Stretch and Ophelia to whet our appetites for the next book. You get tons of suspense and hot sex, which was great. Kathryn Kelly gives us a realistic look at depression and the fight against it. Kendall haters get even more reasons to hate her but try to remember that when she's off of her meds, she's not totally responsible for her actions. This was an excellent book with my girl getting plenty of page time.
So, what I'm saying is that I'm still Team Kendall, bitches!

Review in Portuguese and English
A autora nos presenteia neste Natal com uma história maravilhosa! Obrigada!
Nosso herói "badass" favorito continua na sua melhor forma e Meg se mostra cada vez mais madura e se comportando como uma verdadeira "old lady" deve ser.
As crianças dão um espetáculo a parte e já vejo no futuro estórias maravilhosas sobre elas. O CJ é uma miniatura do Outlaw em formação. Ele é adorável e já demonstra que vai ser um líder.
Diesel também me deixa curiosa e ele é uma maravilhosa adição à família.
Kendall continua se comportando como Kendall... Então ficamos com vontade de entrar na história e acabar com a vida dela de uma vez por todas.
Johnny continua sem espinha dorsal no que se relaciona com Kendall.
Amei a leitura e estou triste porque a série se aproxima do final, mas estou aguardando ansiosamente o próximo livro.
Parabéns para a autora que apesar dos problemas de saúde continua forte e firme na luta! Grande abraço e minhas orações estão com você minha querida!

The author presents us this Christmas with a wonderful story! Thank you!
Our favorite badass hero remains in top form and Meg shows increasingly mature and behaving like a true old lady should be.
The children give a show and I see wonderful stories about them in the future. CJ is a miniature Outlaw-in-training. He is adorable and already demonstrates that he's going to be a leader.
Diesel also makes me curious and he is a wonderful addition to the family.
Kendall continues behaving like Kendall ... So we're willing to go down in history and end her life once and for all.
Johnny continues without back bone when it relates to Kendall.
I loved reading and I'm sad because the series is approaching the end, but I'm eagerly awaiting the next book.
Congratulations to the author that despite health problems remains strong and firm in fight! Big hug and my prayers are with you, my dear!

Good
I love this MC and Outlaw and Meagan but that bitch Kendall needs to go to ground. I realize she a work in progress but she needs to work harder. Poor John Boy loving the crazy chick.

I would have liked this so much better if Johnnie wasn't such a shmuck. I've read a few books where major charters have been killed off so why is Kendall still around.

Another awesome book from Kathryn Kelly...
A Very Christopher Christmas (Death Dwellers MC Series book number 5.5) by Kathryn Kelly is fantastic. This is no standard MC read, it is filled with realistic storylines and fantastic characters. The development of these characters and their stories have been created in the extremely popular ten book series preceding this Christmas book. Don’t let the title fool you, though, this is not your typical Christmas read, this is an MC book through and through.
Kathryn's art of successfully telling a sometimes complex story with some wit thrown in for good measure is second to none. The characters all have their own idioms, including Christopher's uneducated speech pattern, which I have grown to love - it's him, and without his cussing and dropped words and "g" missing from his words, it wouldn't be him.
Christopher or "Outlaw" once again wins my heart as he goes about his business as the President of the Death Dwellers MC. His love for Meagan holds no boundaries and that's what I totally love about him.
Christopher is about to start a blissful holiday season with his heavily pregnant wife Meagan, and their beautiful young family. Everything seems well and good until new dangers, threaten to bring down Christopher and his club. As usual all hell does break loose and he is drawn into a deal that he wanted no part of.
Without giving too much away, let me just say this is a page turner and totally has you sucked in. Of course, it wouldn't be a Kathryn Kelly book without angst, love, and heart-ache. All in all, this book is totally enjoyable, and some parts are hilarious. Wait till you read Christopher's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas... that really had me in stitches.
This book, like all her others, gets a well-deserved five star plus rating.

Christopher is about to start a blissful holiday season with his heavily pregnant wife Meagan, and their beautiful young family. Everything seems well and good until new dangers, threaten to bring down Christopher and his club. As usual all hell does break loose and he is drawn into a deal that he wanted no part of.
Without giving too much away, let me just say this is a page turner and totally has you sucked in. Of course, it wouldn't be a Kathryn Kelly book without angst, love, and heart-ache. All in all, this book is totally enjoyable, and some parts are hilarious. Wait till you read Christopher's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas... that really had me in stitches.
This book, like all her others, gets a well-deserved five star plus rating.

December 2, 2015What a great surprise A Very Christopher Christmas was. This book begins (pretty much) where Misconduct lets off. The Death Dwellers are gearing up for the holidays, starting with Thanksgiving. Some things never change. Christopher is as overbearing & overprotective (one of his endearing qualities) as ever, & Kendall is as much of a stuck up, annoying busybody (I've always been team Kendall, but she really pushed me to the edge in this book). It wouldn't be a great Kathryn Kelly book, if there wasn't all the dangerous drama going on. This one does not disappoint. As if Meggie & Kendall isn't drama enough, just wait. Kendall's insecurities gets even worse, if you can imagine that. Thanks to her stupidity & general disregard for anyone or anything but her, The Death Dwellers almost lose some very important brothers. She also creates a tremendous wedge between Outlaw & Johnnie, which may not be able to be overcome (or will it) , hmmmmmm. And of course, her jealousy of Meggie is front & center, as is evidenced by a comment made after they both deliver their babies (of course not without its own drama). This book could have been called "Kendall's BIG F#*k-up", lol.
The kids of the club are just as adorable as ever, with CJ being a mini Outlaw. The story also has some tender moments, forgiveness, & a great Christmas surprise at the end.
Thank you Kat, for this early Christmas (or in my case, Hanukkah) gift. Loved it, as I've loved all the others in the series

What can I say great free early Christmas present Kathryn Kelly's books manage to mix danger, comedy and romance with believable storylines and this book didn't disappoint. It has bold and engaging characters you love them and you hate them but want them all to survive. I couldn't put it down once I started reading there was plenty of suspense and thrills with a healthy dose of holiday cheer. I can't believe it's almost over and there's only one more book in this series

Oh but I love these books!! Yes I am aware that Deathdwellers MC books are coming to an end, Kat says one more! But I digress, I totally missed that this was out but made up the time and read it not quite in one sitting but it was close.
So Kendall is being well Kendall, she commits the ultimate sin and involves herself via Brookes legal office in club business, and the penalty for this is going to ground (yes dances around cheering). Both Kendall and Meggie are pregnant, and Kendall minus her meds is making everything very difficult, OTT and generally being the biggest witch this side of the yellow brick road.
Throughout this book, Kendall comes to the realisation that she is attracted to Outlaw (well finally) but try as she might to gain his attention he does not want to know. Her behavior when she was in labour has to be the lowest I think she has ever sunk.
And Johnny he really needs to grow a pair or take back the ones that Kendall is keeping safe in her designer handbags.
When Johnny finally does manage to get through to her, and she whimpers, whines and complains he actually shouts at her and puts her straight!
Loved it, need to reread but will do as part of the final run!!

Like always loved Outlaw and Megan together, he loves her more than anything in the world. Their relationship is nice and it was good to see them both lead their areas of the club. As always I couldn't stand Kendall, what is the point of that woman? It was a good Christmas Story for the entire club.

Review by: Melanie
(4.5 stars)
Well I would say that this was a nice little Christmas novella, but this is the Death Dwellers MC and they don’t do nice, lol.
Christopher just wants to get through the holiday season peacefully. Things are currently going well for the club and so he wants to get from Halloween to New Year’s the same way. No business is scheduled until January arrives. Well dream on Christopher, you’re just not that lucky.
A few things are going to make this holiday season memorable, and not necessarily in a good way. Many books ago, an arms deal got put on hold, then refunded. All done and dusted. But for some reason, the dealer is back on Outlaw’s case and demanding Outlaw delivers the guns personally. Which of course he refuses, Outlaw takes orders from no one. When it’s discovered that someone has interfered though, someone who really, really should keep their nose out of club business, things just go from bad to worse. I can’t really say much else about that without giving plot away.
Kendall is off her meds, yes people she’s back and as crazy and annoying as ever, add the fact she’s pregnant and hormonal and I just can’t stand her. Meggie is pregnant and feeling ill, and with another 15 weeks until her due date Christopher is worried about her. And finally, Johnnie is acting weird. He’s catering to Kendall’s every whim, just to keep the peace, but unfortunately it's to the detriment of not only Johnnie and his position with his brothers and the club, but Rory, their 22 month old son is suffering too, Johnnie just hadn’t realised it before. Rory, omg I just want to hug the little sweetheart and let him play and be a kid.
I really enjoyed this story, although like previous books, Kendall’s presence and actions take some of the enjoyment out of it meaning it doesn’t quite get that 5 from me. I will however give A Very Christopher Christmas 4.5 stars.

A humorous, romantic suspense that you won't want to miss! I really liked the storyline, but because Kendall is so heavily involved, in all her raging bitch glory, it was difficult for me to fully enjoy. I was looking forward to seeing how the club, their ol'ladies, and children do it up Outlaw style, but of course the attention whore had to get involved and ruin everyone's holiday.
This is definitely an emotional roller-coaster of a story that will have you frustrated, worried, feeling the love, mad, then cracking up laughing at their hilarious banter and crazy antics! It is a great story, even with my huge dislike of Kendall, and a terrific addition to this fantastic series.
I have known many people who have suffered from a wide range of mental illnesses, but I have never met anyone who was as self-absorbed, selfish, and downright horrible as Kendall. Maybe I'm not giving her a fair chance, but every time I think she may change, she only gets worse. It doesn't matter whose lives she endangers, how many people try to help her, or basically anything else, as long as she is center of attention in everything, and everyone bows down to her. I definitely would have enjoyed this series a lot more if she hadn't been so involved in every single book. Just my opinion!
If you haven't read this series, I suggest that you start from the beginning. Each can be read as stand alone books, but to fully understand the underlying plot, you'll have to read them all to so. These are great stories filled with humor, angst, love, and family. You may not like all of the characters, but that's the case with most series. I strongly recommend this book, series, and author.

You either love or hate Outlaw.....I'm one of the lover's! You either love or hate Kendall....I'm one of the hater's! Yes, Outlaw's mouth is atrocious but it's been like this from the beginning so him changing would be a shock. Yes, Kendall suffers from a mental illness but you can only forgive so much...especially if the person knows they have to take med's and don't. Believe me I know this due to the fact that I run a home for ex psychiatric patients and the majority of them are schizophrenic and 2 suffer from bio-polar. This is also a fiction series so there's always going to be some exaggeration or just plain out-thereness (my own word...lol) otherwise you would read a biography or non-fiction. In the real world Kendall would have been dealt with a long time ago for just some of her minor infractions. Johnnie has always been a tough one for me - its a love/hate relationship. Megan, is Megan...she's sweet, forgiving and a lovely person. I was so glad to see her finally get some balls where Kendall is concerned. Anyway, I loved this book and I love this series. All the characters are interesting and kids are great. No its not right that CJ talks the way he does and its also so sad the way Rory is being raised by Kendall. Considering the way some of these people were raised its understandable the way they behave as adults and that includes Kendall. Really looking forward to Fee, Ghost and Stretch's story.

I think it could be said I love Christopher Outlaw Caldwell so much I would read anything with him in it. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that this little Christmas gem was coming out. Okay the truth is I was ecstatic, I may have even jumped for joy. I tried to take my time reading so it would last longer but what can I say I have no willpower. Kat's story telling is unique, entertaining, and it takes you right into her world. I can not say enough positive comments. I really like that she decided to talk about her battle she is fighting right now, so many authors do not connect with readers, she is always available even when she's not feeling well. I enjoyed it all so much I'm thinking I need a reread of the whole series!
December 27, 2015
I didn't enjoy this book at all, and almost DNF several times. The language got old and annoying, to me.
November 29, 2015
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book was terrible. Every other word was f##ck or some variation of it. Even the toddlers cursed like sailors. Also, no one spoke in complete sentence. Words are left out a lot! Also, Ms. Kelly must have been a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy, because the reads like one of their scripts. I will never read this author again, free or not. This was pure trash.
March 20, 2016
Bitter sweet knowing that this will come to an end soon. I feel like I've always tried to give Kendall a break but she was out of control. Looking forward to Misfit. Plus perhaps the next generation. I'm just hoping CJ and Rory don't fight over Harley. Maybe Rory and one of Bunny's kids. I had a feeling about Rebel when she followed Diesel around in the story. I know it's wrong but it was kind of cute listening to CJ cuss.
January 3, 2019
Outlaw and Meggie now have children (3) and very happy this Christmas .I love her characters in this book. Meggie is again pregnant with their fourth child. Outlaw is worried about her health. I know that Kendall is mental ill, but Johnnie isn't helping her with enabling her unhealthy issues. I hope that Johnnie moves on to a better woman. Kendall can't get over Outlaw not wanting to have sex with her. I love the twist and turns of this fabulous novel.
February 10, 2017
Says it all!! I still hate Kendall & this book just reinforced it. I know all about having both depression & major anxiety & I also know everyone deals differently. When someone is a blunt as Christopher is maybe you should listen. All in all this really did turn out to be a celebrated holiday season for them.

oh i forgot how much i loved this series. An old enemy rises and want their revenge on the Devil's. Christopher is his usual foul mouthed alpha self and with Kendall's meddling things get pretty crazy. (yep Kendall still pisses me the f off)
March 12, 2020
I like this entire series, and this is no exception. I will add my vote to those who despise Kendall. Using her depression as an excuse is beyond reasonable. I realize she is just a character, but I seriously hope others do not use 'being off their meds' an excuse for being ashfucks!
August 12, 2024
Finally finished them all. Loved every thing except Meggie. Outlaw & Kendall. Couldn't stomach them.
